Talk:List of Victory ships

Canada and the UK?

As I recall, both Canada and the United Kingdom (maybe Australia as well?) purchased Victory class ships and put them into service - yet this list only included US flagged Victories. An attempt should be made to either include the UK and Canadian ships into this list (if it is to be a 'List of Victory ships') or perhaps the title should be changed to 'List of US Victory ships'.

Not purchased: built. None of the Canadian-built Liberty/Victory ships is so much as mentioned. Of course, none of the shipyards is, either, which is an astounding omission for a list of ships.... TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 18:24, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Binghampton ??

If that name is referencing the small city in upstate New York then it "Binghamton" without the "P"

According to the USMM list, the ship had a P in her name.--J Clear 16:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Incomplete

Could it be that the list is IT DOESNT CARRY A ARTICLE ON ALTOONA VOCTORY SHIP!

Looks to me like someone started to input it alphabetically and ran out of steam. Definately too short, here's a longer list. Anyone with the time to expand the Wiki list, please read the Too Many Stubs comment. --J Clear 16:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I've noticed that too - I think it would be a challege to finish the list. There's a lot of ships! Mfields1 00:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

There is a USMM copyright on the linked page, so I'm a bit leary to suck their list in. Anyone have a Navy list?--J Clear 14:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

If there's not a copyright issue, saving the EXCEL spreadsheet as a CSV file would let it be easily massaged into Wiki input. I know USN photos are fair game, but not sure if USMM docs fall under the same copyright exemption.--J Clear 14:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Too Many Stubs

To get rid of the "too many red links" stigma, would it make more sense to: link all the ships back to Victory Ship on this page, create the missing stubs as a redirect to Victory Ship, or just de link the red ones? --J Clear 16:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I would vote for the de-link option, perhaps with a note on the page asking persons who have a particular interest in a ship to create a link. Wiki never is finished anyway, but each of these ships has a tale to tell. For every ship successfully built there is probably a thousand or more persons connected to that ship, either as crew members or military troops passengers. It would be nice to see people do a write up on each ship since the information is slowly passing away as the WWII veterans leave us every day in great numbers. Mfields1 00:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Next time I dust off sed or Perl for another project, I'll give it a shot. Maybe suck in the USMM list as well.--J Clear 04:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I have the USSM list in an EXCEL spreadsheet. Got to find where I put it. Want to collaborate on listing all the ships? Mfields1 14:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I removed all the red links from the current list. (And added my alma mater by way of reward.) See comment above in "Incomplete" on copyright.--J Clear 14:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Disputed AP5

Sorry for the disputed tag, but I don't have time to correct it right now. The AP5 types should be listed as "USS SomeCounty (APA-###)". SS just isn't right.--J Clear 22:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Since the there is already a list of APA in wikipedia, perhaps deleting the AP5 types from this list, and linking there is the way to go.--J Clear 14:26, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Corrected list as is. --J Clear 17:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Gainsville?

Did they actually typo Gainesville? --NE2 20:57, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
