message: Seeing as this has an ecological bent, should it go under a biology stub? Also, the POV is pretty apparent. Edit: Oceanography's even better. --DNicholls 00:05, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: It does look like oceanography is the most comprehensive for it, although there's that technological side. It should definitely be under the ecology category, as well. --DNicholls 02:39, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

message: While this article still needs work, it does not seem to me that it still has serious POV problems. I propose removing the tag in a few days unless there are objections. --Geronimo20 (talk) 04:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: POV tag

message: This article makes several bold claims regarding these nets (nearly invisible, have killed humans...) that lack citation.  Geronimo20, please stop removing Fact tags UNLESS you insert a citation that verifies the tagged passage.  You mustn't remove these tags just because you don't like them - Wikipedia requires sources for what's to be included in it. Alvis (talk) 05:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations needed

message: "The problem is not just nets; old-fashioned crab pots, without the required "rot-out panel", also sit on the bottom, where they become self-baiting traps that go on catching crabs year after year. Even balled-up fishing line can be deadly for a variety of creatures, including birds and marine mammals. " A serious problem? Yes. NPOV and on-topic? No. Removing.

replies: text: This material is not "POV". Nor is it off-topic to point to a context wider than nets only. You have also removed a citation which covers material earlier in the paragraph. --Epipelagic (talk) 06:58, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: "The French government offered a reward for ghost nets handed in to local coastguards along sections of the Normandy coast between 1980 and 1981. The project was abandoned when people vandalised nets to claim rewards, without retrieving anything at all from the shoreline or ocean."
The citation link goes to an article about seabirds dying in Scotland. Not a word about Normandy, the French government, or rewards. Delete?
