Talk:MS King Seaways

message: I have decided to be bold and carry out the merger that I first suggested nearly two years ago (see above).  In doing so, I have left out what I regarded as indiscriminant information from the Val de Loire article (which was akin to a list of all the shops, bars, restaurants, etc. on a particular street).  --RFBailey (talk) 01:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm being bold and undoing your merge. We've been here before and it's staying. Being bold after a discussion to merge died after no one convinced the other is just insulting. 88.96.204.236 (talk) 00:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You may be insulted, but some of us prefer to improve the encyclopaedia rather than have petty arguments for the sake of it.  Clearly only you object to this, as it was carried out three months ago, since when various other improvements have been made to this article.  Please provide proper justification as to why two articles are necessary.  --RFBailey (talk) 09:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would like to avoid any types of arguments, I undid your move, I commented just as politness would obliged. I see you've replied but I feel you're bordeline condescending and won't permit any other course of action other than leaving it as you see fit. Will you listen or do you want an edit war? I prefer the first option. Would I want to move all the article to Val de Loire, I'd agree with your reticence but I'm not. I've discussed it first yet you've undone me, you did not act civilly, you clearly stated you wished discussion which I've obliged. Wikipedia at its best as usual: ownership or articles and bullying. 77.100.149.189 (talk) 18:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair play, I've read the MV King of Scandinavia (MV for Motor Vessel) and MV Val de Loire is clearly seperate in content. Whilst the MV KoS article concentrates on ownership throughout its operating life, MV VdL article concentrates on its service with Bf and its facilities (which some fan of BF ferries contributed a while back). I believe they're both quite different in content, concentrating on different key eras. Discussion, reflection, compromise?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.100.149.189 (talk) 18:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The general way of doing articles on different ships in Wikipedia has been to have a single article that covers all incarnations of a given ship. For instance there's just one article on , which covers both the ship's career as the France and as the Norway. I don't see any compelling reason to maintain two separate articles for  and , all information about the Val de Loire and - and IMO should - be incorporated into the King of Scandinavia article. -- Kjet (talk · contribs) 05:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: IMHO opinion the articles should be merged but with the content of the Val de Loire article fully incorporated into the King  of Scandinavia one, perhaps including the changes carried out to the ship when it became King of Scandinavia? Red Fox (talk) 13:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, there does not appear to be enough content to justify a split into two places.  The two eras can be covered by separate sections of this article, as there are now.  And as for the use of "MV" or "MS", as DFDS uses "MS", then so should we in this article title.  --RFBailey (talk) 17:34, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree with Kjet, all ship articles on wikipedia should only have one. I mean if we started having an article for every name ships ever had, there would be too many to count! Also the time this ship spent as Val de Lorie is really no more notable than its time as Nils Holgersson or King of Scandinavia. -Mbruce1 (talk) 12:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger revisited 

message: I encountered a ship named "King of Scandinavia" in the Summer of 1993 while visiting Scandinavia. If the pictured ship is the same a the subject of the article, then the claim that it was named this way only in 2006 is not correct. Oyoyoy (talk) 13:05, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The ship you have pictured it the old MS Wellamo of 1975, King of Scandinavia (2) from 1989 to 1994, she is now MS Jupiter This page depicts the later ship Ex Nils Holgesson, King of Scandinavia(3) and just to confuse you there was the old Princess Birgitta who was the first ship to wear the name for DFDS.
