[edit] Sources for Chainplate

Hello, good work on Chainplate, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. What websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Chainplate? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? Thank you very much. - SimonP 04:42, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Sources for Chainplate

Since I'm a sailor, I didn't use any external resources, just my personal knowledge. I suspect however that it is pretty accurate.
