Talk:FV Northwestern

message: What does the "F/V" stand for. I would think "Fishing Vessel" but maybe it's a company's I.D. before the ships name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.93.246 (talk • contribs) 
:F/V stands for Fishing Vessel. --Bobblehead (rants) 17:53, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: F/V Meaning

message: I would add the infobox about the Northwestern, but I do not know much about ships and as such don't even know how to fill the infobox in. If some kind soul would be willing to do this I would be greatly appreciative. I think that there is enough information in the article, but I am not sure.--Kyle(talk) 01:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Added infobox, but it needs more basic data. Brianhe (talk) 05:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Northwestern website has the official 1977 press release from MARCO and the Hansens, with pretty much everything needed to populate the infobox, so I took the liberty to finish it as best I could from the available technical info in the PR.

thread_title: Ship Infobox

message: Hello. I just moved the page to its current location, because for technical reasons, forward slashes should be avoided in article titles. Specifically, it renders the title to the right of the slash subordinate to what is on the left. In this case, the page was subordinated to F. So the problem has been fixed, but I just wanted to explain to anyone who was concerned with why the move was done. Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 05:12, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to follow up on  Parsecboy's explanation, the explanation in the manual of style is here.  Cheers. HausTalk 18:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page move 

message: Whoever tagged the page as having no notability...are you on crack?  The Northwestern was the stuff of fishing legends on the Bering Sea long before Thom Beers ever came up with the idea of making a TV series about the deadliest job in the world, and now as Deadliest Catch comes into its 4th season after drawing over 49M viewers last year, it's now one of the most famous fishing vessels in the world.  If nobody has any objection, I'll be deleting the notability BS nonsense come Monday... Scarletsmith (talk) 02:31, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Completely agree. I can't see any reason that this is not notable. It is the same thing as any article about a character in a tv show (few outside sources besides the show itself). On top of that, the Northwestern is an actual vessel, not just made up.--Kyle(talk) 04:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to remove the tag, as a WP:SHIPS member, I'm certain of the notability of this vessel. -MBK004 04:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Notability?

message: It is 2009 , according to this article we should of seen NW's endorsed seafood out there, or at least hear about it,but I haven't seen nor heard anything about it. Dose anybody have any information on this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NJGril (talk • contribs) 04:22, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

message: What's up with all the information about Jake Anderson in the "Current Status" section? Is this really needed as part of an encyclopedia article? This seems more like part of a fansite. Who needs to know when he was added, when he got full share and that he was traded to another boat in '09? SPeitsch (talk) 21:02, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jake Anderson 

message: It says Christened:	November 5, 1977, by Mrs. Snifred Hansen - That should be spelled either Snefrid, Snøfrid or Snøfryd, all are actual Norwegian names, Snifred is not.
Spelling Error?

thread_title:  Snifred Hansen?? 

message: I think that 1970's is wrong, and Gronk Oz has corrected it to 1970s twice. As edit warring is unproductive, I'm looking for a consensus here. 1970s or 1970's? As it is something covered by AWB, I think it is quite obviously 1970s. Also pinging  on the opposing side for their explanation. --Ferien (talk) 16:36, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: First, let me apologize for making that change twice: I did not get notified that an anonymous IP editor had reverted it.  The Manual of Style is quite clear about this question at MOS:DECADE: "...always use four digits as in the 1980s. Do not use the 1980's..."  I don't see any need to build consensus here - that has already been done on the larger scale in building the MoS. --Gronk Oz (talk) 23:52, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I was adding it here per the edit summary "LEAVE BE OR TAKE TO TALK". As there has already been consensus for 1970s then, I am reverting back to the version without 's. --Ferien (talk) 06:19, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Some photos of the Northwestern have 29962 painted on the wheelhouse.   Which ID is this? That would be good going in the article somewhere -- 65.92.247.226 (talk) 08:16, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
