Talk:Ship

Instead of a list of known ships, could we perhaps make a detailed article on types of ships(Like for example THe Going Merry is a Craval Class ship?) and then detail famous ones and known ships on the bottom(Oro Jackson is famous, Buggy's Ship is known)?--Cody2526 20:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Hmm... Well I've tried it how it is with individual ships. I hope to fill their pages with info later, but for now... Titles... Picture.  Thats all I have time for.  :/
 * We should start filling in the pages with info soon. Some of these ships only have tadbits of info to put on them... Others quite a bit.  I think part in story, owner, history, things like that... If there should be written. One-Winged Hawk 16:43, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Same story
Same problem as with the animal page... There isn't much to write about. I think one page of ships is better then many smaller ones. This is getting repetitive. I get the impression stubs is unwanted, but every turn leds to them. I'm going to stop while I open a discussion on the communtiy portal about this. Stubs are annoying me right now. -_-' One-Winged Hawk 22:16, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Rescue Ship
Was the name of the ship that rescued Zeff and Sanji ever named? I'm not sure if it was or not and if its on the list. Drunk Samurai 09:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Traditionally, ships are she, not it
I changed this article with DP's permission a while back, but the individual articles on each ship remain referring to ships as "it". Should this be changed? 23:23, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

ships should always be referred to as "she"-- 00:08, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Then I'll start changing the articles to match that. 00:12, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't matter at all. SeaTerror (talk) 00:49, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I'm changing them for now. If needs be, it can be reverted. 01:20, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Just saying it doesn't matter. I'm not going to revert anything this time. SeaTerror (talk) 01:24, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

I've done some changes of the sort on summaries, too. I'll do it more conciously now to assist you nova.

"She" is just a traditional way of calling a ship for sailors and ship lovers. "It" is more of a literal sense, which is what this wiki is about. Right? Besides, Noah and some other ships seems to have a masculine theme/name, etc. 16:40, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

"I'm not going to revert anything this time. " That promise didn't last long.  19:51, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Battle Frankies are just weapons not ships. SeaTerror (talk) 20:34, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

If anyone can find me a reason not to use traditional language when referring to ships, I will revert my edits, change port and starboard to left and right, and prow and stern to front and back. 21:54, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Yata already said why. This isn't a nautical wiki anyway. Plus there's no evidence anybody in the manga even says "she" when referring to a ship. SeaTerror (talk) 22:05, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Names aside, I rarely see the ships referred to in-story with anything other than gender neutral pronouns. Like ST said, this ain't a nautical wiki. Blending fact and fiction here might not be in our best interest.The Will of Deez (talk) 20:29, September 22, 2014 (UTC)
