Talk:HMS Sirius (1786)

message: The link to New South Wales is a bit misleading as at that time New South Wales had a different geographical and political meaning. The Commonwealth of Australia had not yet been established and N.S.W. had been declared as being the whole eastern side of Australia. Not sure how to fix this. --Wm 23:28, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the entry (i.e. 'historic shipwreck') that I placed in the infobox has been removed.  I don't agree with the position argued by Benea that the 'status and fate field should not be used concurrently'.  In Australia, wreck sites will receive statutory protection on the basis of age (>75 years) or significance (i.e. military service, historical role et al) by national (aka 'Commonwealth') and complimentary state & territory legislation.  As a result, there are about 8000 sites are protected by law - refer the following link that mentioned the appropriate quantum of shipwrecks -'Korean nationals fined for entering SS Yongala shipwreck', http://www.environment.gov.au/about/media/dept-mr/dept-mr20120106.html, retrieved 30/07/2012.  In Australia, these sites are known as 'historic shipwrecks which succinctly describes their legal status - please refer 'http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/shipwrecks/index.html, retrieved 30/07/2012.  Therefore, I believe it is both possible & appropriate for both fields in the infobox to be populated.  I will raise this manner at WP:SHIPS 07:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It is WP:SHIPS that mandates this particular position. Template:Infobox ship begin/Usage guide states that the 'status field' is "Used to indicate that a ship is currently in service, or has been removed from service but is available for future use or preserved in some form. Rule of thumb: "Is the ship above the water and intact?"". If the shipwreck has some particular legal status in the jurisdiction of the country in whose waters it lies, explain that in the text. Simply putting 'historic shipwreck' in the infobox status field reveals the limitations of your approach. All shipwrecks everywhere can be described as historic shipwrecks.
