Talk:Tall ship

message: What's the matter with the US Patent & Trademark Office in that they allowed ASTA to register Tall Ships as a trademark?  I wish someone would ignore it, get ASTA to sue them, and have the trademark registration voided once and for all.  No one should be allowed to declare as a TM or SM, much less register it, a common, generic term as used in its original use.  Tall Ships brand vodka?  Fine.  That'd be okay.  Tall Ships brand marine paint?  Go for it.  But Tall Ships brand tall ships???  Ridiculous.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.129.240 (talk) 17:27, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I added some pictures of the rig from above and below. Arguably not as beautiful as the ships themselves from afar, but a bit of variety. PeteVerdon 20:59, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The list of "modern tall ships" is getting rather big.  Should it be split out into a separate article? Susan Davis 15:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of Ships 

message: There are links in this page to numerous other Tal lShip charities all of whom offer voyages at heavily subsidised prices to disadvantaged people American Sail Training Association, Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Race, Tall Ships Challenge, Jubilee Sailing Trust why do you want to discriminate against us. either organisations like ours can have links or not. It is not for one individual to decide which links are allowed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.88.198 (talk) 17:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: unquestionably spam, has been removed. Do not reinsert without consensus. Some of the other links are questionable as well. for the Univ. of Washington one, why is their collection so much better than anyone else's that it should be listed? DGG (talk) 21:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The USS Constellation would seem to be an obvious candidate for this page, but it's not listed. Anyone know why?John D. Goulden (talk) 02:36, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Where's the USS ''Constellation''?

message: I've cleared out almost the entire external links.  Aside from the obvious dead links, what remained was a mix of pure spam, links to links, links to galleries, and others that were either too specific to the subject of tall ships or not about it in any way.
I put in edit notes for each removal, rather than doing it en masse. If anyone feels that a particular link should be replaced, please add edit note or discuss here first.
The remaining link is borderline, I'm not sure it should stay.--Dmol (talk) 22:14, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: The Fregatte "Hermione"

message: Since "tall ship" is a colloquial term, as well as one used by a specific organization, Sail Training International (STI), this article should direct all non-STI usage to Sailing ship. This general content and the content at Windjammer belong there. 
Additionally, the Gallery section of this article is just a collection of images, which do not support WP:GALLERY, which says:
:A gallery section may be appropriate in some Wikipedia articles if a collection of images can illustrate aspects of a subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images. Just as we seek to ensure that the prose of an article is clear, precise and engaging, galleries should be similarly well-crafted. Gallery images must collectively add to the reader's understanding of the subject without causing unbalance to an article or section within an article while avoiding similar or repetitive images, unless a point of contrast or comparison is being made.
I plan to drastically trim the gallery to conform to WP:GALLERY, by illustrating an example of each class of ship, as appropriate.
