Talk:Brittany Ferries

message: I was not convinced the lists of on-board facilities are necessary: this is an encyclopaedia, not a travel guide or a directory.  See this.  Including such detail would be equivalent to the article on my home town listing all the shops on the High Street.  Besides, as this information is more relevant to the vessels themselves rather than the company, if it is included anywhere, it should on their articles rather than this one.  If have removed them, and replaced them with a summary.
Also, why are the 1990s more relevant than today?  Also, what colour the signs are on the Pont-Aven is way too much information.  --RFBailey 16:51, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone has replaced the lists etc. that I removed.  I have taken them out sgain, and reiterate the above comments: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.  --RFBailey 07:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, aimed at a general audience.  It is not a forum for enthusiasts of Brittany Ferries, railways, computer games, Antarctic penguins, or anything else.  There are already web pages for Brittany Ferries enthusiasts, such as the one linked to from this article, which can contain as much information about these topics as they like.  As I said, if this pattern is to be followed, then the article about my home town would list all the butchers, bakers, stationers, cafes, restaurants, bookmakers, etc. on the High Street, which would be ridiculous.  Other ferry companies' vessels have shops, restaurants, bars. etc.  The only difference here is that Brittany Ferries has more of a following among enthusiasts.  While, as a company, they must be doing something right for this to be the case, it doesn't make them any more notable than, say, P&O, Stenas Line, or DFDS.  --RFBailey 21:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Any particular reason why this article is currently just 'start class' in the Ships project? There's not much to be wished for, I'd say - but then I'm no expert on shipping or ferries. Classical geographer 22:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately the people at WP:SHIPS are rather lazy in upkeeping the ratings. It might be a good idea to bring this up at the project's talk page. -- Kjet (talk) 16:55, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I have to point out that technically this article wouldn't deserve to be in B-class. It's an admirably well-written article, but it lacks citations, which are the first requirement of a B-class article on WP:SHIPS quality scale. That said, since the whole WP:SHIPS rating system is rather poorly run, I'm not going to change this one back to start-class. Just thought you'd better known. And maybe someone could find the time to provide the needed citations. -- Kjet (talk) 19:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
