[edit] Age of Sail (3 votes in 1 week)

Nominated on 00:01, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC); needs 5 votes by June 30.

It's an incredibly important concept in history, and we see references to it frequently in modernity. Compare with Age of Exploration. This stub is pretty embarassing.

• I'm not sure how this article would do. Navy has only done so-so because it is a fairly difficult topic. I don't see how Age of Sail could be anything but more difficult. I may still support but I'm going to wait to see other responses to the nomination. Falphin 00:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I believe this is more of a history-related article, and so any real naval knowledge isn't too necessary. --Dmcdevit 00:13, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • What exactly would the article include? Falphin 00:20, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • It's a multi-century period in history, just like the High Middle Ages. I guess that's a good model. --Dmcdevit 22:40, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • So the article isn't just the name for a historical period but also cultural. And do you think the other two periods should be nominated as well. (Early and Late Middle Ages?). Falphin 01:15, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • You know, I had thought it was strange to see the only one of the three with its own article the one that was nominated. If you're considering it, I'd definitely support late, not so sure about early (don't know too much). --Dmcdevit 02:42, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
