Talk:William Arrol

Untitled

Why has the short section with the reference to the Titanic been removed? I have restored the point. in the absence of any explanation. Peterlewis (talk) 06:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I only moved it to the article on the Company on the basis that by 1912 Arrol, aged 73, is unlikely to have been involved in decisions relating to a mere gantry and probably left the matter to Company management. But I really do not have strong views and am quite happy to see it in both articles Dormskirk (talk) 12:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Duplication

There is a separae entry on Sir William Arrol & Co., the same person, with overlapping content. Should they be combined?Bebington (talk) 10:02, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I would keep them separate: this article is about the person who was also a politician but the other article is about a famous company which continued long after his death. But I agree that overlap should be minimised. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 10:46, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
