thread_title: Ships

message: I think this article could do with a little rework. Most particularly to put the description of a cockpit as the control section of an airplane back at the top as the primary meaning. Then the discussion on cockfighting and naval meanings can be moved down to separate section with a more historical context. It was this edit back in July 2004 that gave primacy to the origin of the word as a pit for cockfighting. 
As it is, the article is probably not what most readers are expecting. -- Solipsist 11:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the chronological, historical description makes sense it's educational, it shows how the modern usage has come about. You say the article is probably not what most readers are expecting. I say Good!, they might learn something. I might even add Hogarth's famous print - http://www.fromoldbooks.org/OldEngland/pages/2440-the-cockpit/. (better version here http://www.artoftheprint.com/artistpages/hogarth_william_pitticketthecockpit.htm) I agree though that there is certainly plenty of room for expansion regarding the modern usage.

replies: text: Oh I don't disagree that it is interesting (I helped to expand it myself), the trouble is that the three uses are really very different things that just happen to be linked by a common etymology. The original article was really a disambiguation page and the three subjects could easily be separated into three pages. If that were to happen the aviation usage would be the primary topic disambiguation. As such, it is wrong to keep the page as it is. -- Solipsist 19:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

text: That's it little odd. It might be my memory playing tricks on me, but I rather thought I did the expansion to include the Royal Navy usage of cockpit. However the current page history attributes that to Mintguy. Does anyone know of any pagediff problems around that era? -- Solipsist 19:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rework

message: I was going to ask for thoughts on moving the content of this page to Cockpit (aviation) and use this title space for the disambiguatuion, however in view of the above discussion, what would the reaction be to keep the history here and to move aircraft specific details to a new Cockpit (aviation) page.

thread_title:  Move or spin off

message: The article should discribe the seating in a dual or tandem cockpit. Does the copilot sit on the left or right? In a military tandem cockpit, does the navigator sit in the front or the back? How about trainees and instructors? Are all controls duplicated? if not, where are the single controls located? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:16, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dual and tandem cockpits 

message: Say if the pilot sits on the left, and the co-pilot on the right.
