Talk:List of shipbuilders and shipyards

message: With regard to tidying this article, would it not make more sense to have the companies listed by their most commonly known names, then split those bits into the subsidiaries that merged into it (For instance Vosper Thornycroft should be split into Vosper and John I Thornycroft, similar to how the formation of the Carnival Corporation & plc article has been done) This may make it easier to find the information people may be looking for quicker. Which at the end of the day is the whole idea of an encyclopedia. JonEastham 13:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Have made a quick idea of what it would look like and have also added a couple of US yards it can be seen here: User:JonEastham/Sandbox - JonEastham 13:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Better to have the shipyards listed alphabetically and then make note in each what happened to it otherwise you have to deal with British Shipbuilders. I believe "Vosper Thorneycroft" is probably still what "VT Shipbuilding" is called by some so i would avoid "commonly known names".  GraemeLeggett 14:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is the United Kingdom first in the list. Shouldn't it be an alfabetical list with the UK just before the USA? Lordmarchmain 23:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I presume because the article was based on a personal project by a number of editors to list UK shipyards... Emoscopes Talk 23:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just corrected the list order into an alphabetical list. In my opinion this is more like an encyclopedia. Anyone care to add more to the list? Lordmarchmain 20:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tidying? 

message: User:Dual Freq/Shipyards has some material I collected a while back. It was kind of a Naval Vessel Register cross reference to current name or wiki-article name ,but the format I used significantly differs from this list. It might be useful here. --Dual Freq 23:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Some US Shipyard stuff

message: This list brings together related articles about shipbuilding and is useful for navigating, as per the discussion on when "useful" is a valid arguement.
Agreed that cleanup is needed-- but even in its present state, this page allows you to locate shipbuilding companies and shipbuilders in a way that the categories do not.Djembayz (talk) 16:54, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Notability tag removed

message: I just removed all the redlinks, and info covered in the articles. I did this to make the article less of a mess, and to dissuade people from turning this list into a yellow pages with urls everywhere. I hope that it's an improvement. At least it's now consistent throughout instead of all sorts of different formats. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tidied up 

message: There's a navbox in this section. I've never seen on placed in the middle of an article. It seems useful, but strangely placed. Thoughts? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:33, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: lot of information which is collected by hard work is removed. like Bangladeshi shipbuilders and other countries shipyards information's. Why? is it not possible to keep that data to some other place for reference??? Mamun2a (talk) 10:59, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You may have a good point. Do others watching this page have a view? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:18, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
