Talk:List of Victory ships

message: As I recall, both Canada and the United Kingdom (maybe Australia as well?) purchased Victory class ships and put them into service - yet this list only included US flagged Victories.  An attempt should be made to either include the UK and Canadian ships into this list (if it is to be a 'List of Victory ships') or perhaps the title should be changed to 'List of US Victory ships'.

replies: text: Not purchased: built. None of the Canadian-built Liberty/Victory ships is so much as mentioned. Of course, none of the shipyards is, either, which is an astounding omission for a list of ships....  TREKphiler hit me ♠  18:24, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Canada and the UK?

message: If that name is referencing the small city in upstate New York then it "Binghamton" without the "P"
:According to the USMM list, the ship had a P in her name.--J Clear 16:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Could it be that the list is IT DOESNT CARRY A ARTICLE ON ALTOONA VOCTORY SHIP!
:Looks to me like someone started to input it alphabetically and ran out of steam.  Definately too short, here's a longer list.  Anyone with the time to expand the Wiki list, please read the Too Many Stubs comment.  --J Clear 16:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I've noticed that too - I think it would be a challege to finish the list.  There's a lot of ships!  Mfields1 00:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  There is a USMM copyright on the linked page, so I'm a bit leary to suck their list in.  Anyone have a Navy list?--J Clear 14:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If there's not a copyright issue, saving the EXCEL spreadsheet as a CSV file would let it be easily massaged into Wiki input.  I know USN photos are fair game, but not sure if USMM docs fall under the same copyright exemption.--J Clear 14:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Incomplete

message: To get rid of the "too many red links" stigma, would it make more sense to: link all the ships back to Victory Ship on this page, create the missing stubs as a redirect to Victory Ship, or just de link the red ones? --J Clear 16:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would vote for the de-link option, perhaps with a note on the page asking persons who have a particular interest in a ship to create a link.  Wiki never is finished anyway, but each of these ships has a tale to tell.  For every ship successfully built there is probably a thousand or more persons connected to that ship, either as crew members or military troops passengers.  It would be nice to see people do a write up on each ship since the information is slowly passing away as the WWII veterans leave us every day in great numbers.  Mfields1 00:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Next time I dust off sed or Perl for another project, I'll give it a shot. Maybe suck in the USMM list as well.--J Clear 04:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have the USSM list in an EXCEL spreadsheet.  Got to find where I put it.  Want to collaborate on listing all the ships?  Mfields1 14:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I removed all the red links from the current list.  (And added my alma mater by way of reward.)  See comment above in "Incomplete" on copyright.--J Clear 14:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Too Many Stubs

message: Sorry for the disputed tag, but I don't have time to correct it right now.  The AP5 types should be listed as "USS SomeCounty (APA-###)".  SS just isn't right.--J Clear 22:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the there is already a list of APA in wikipedia, perhaps deleting the AP5 types from this list, and linking there is the way to go.--J Clear 14:26, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Corrected list as is. --J Clear 17:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
