Spelling edit

The source mentions the Quedagh Merchant, yet the title of the article is different — Quedah Merchant. Is there a mistake? --Hillock65 (talk) 14:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I have moved the article to most used spelling.Neonblak talk - 02:22, 4 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

References edit

This article only uses one reference for most of the information included, I think it needs a few more reliable sources (and some kind of ref cleanup to let the reader know what books you are using, not just Zachs)... - Adolphus79 (talk) 15:09, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

The problem is, I believe the online articles written upon the ship's discovery are using Zacks as their historical reference as well. It may not be possible to get this to GA, but it's worth getting this as well done as I can before I move on.Neonblak talk - 15:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Google books found a few that were written before Zacks'... it might be worth checking out, even if just to "spice up" the reflist... If they say the same thing, you might consider replacing a couple of the Zacks inlines with others... IMHO, when I see a reflist like that, I think to myself, "What if that one book was wrong?"... - Adolphus79 (talk) 18:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. I will try more thorough searches. Also, I want to put an info-box in the article, but unsure of which to use. There just isn't enough information for a "Ship", and probably not the right subject for a "Shipwreck". The ship was scuttled, not "wrecked".Neonblak talk - 21:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
