I don't quite understand why this article should be deleted as nonsense. Google turns up articles like: [1] --Fangz 19:27, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Likewise, this is an important article to have. I'd like to see the rationale for calling it "nonsense" - I think it's just been getting scrambled by the anon, should just revert back to October version and go from there. Stan 20:52, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] New Article Started

The original article was nonsense. I've created a new article from what I've been able to find out (though my knowledge of the subject is somewhat limited, and it would be great if someone who knows more about it can expand it). A few points about the original article:

  • Gillnets do not have hooks - they are purely a net.
  • Luxembourg does not have seas
  • The name Mikael Krustikosky does not give any results as a Google search, other than a mirror of the nonsense article.
  • The user who made the original nonsense article appears to be the same user who defaced the Waterfall article.

To the user who made the original article, if you can provide evidence which supports your article, please do. But please don't just go and replace factual information with nonsense - that defeats the whole purpose of Wikipedia... Nick Moss 02:55, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Completing the Stub

I am currently working on completing the stub of this article and would appreciate being given at least through tonight (april 7th) to complete it. I would also appreciate it if opinions about the subject were left out. Stating a method of fishing is cruel while at the same time admitting that your knowledge of the subject is limited seems unfair and also against the point of wikipedia (which is to provide facts, not opinions)Vackley 17:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Information Please

I would like to see more information on the different kinds of nets, where they are used, what kind of fish, the by-catch rates, and the different positions on using gillnets. I am sure this can be achieved without being biased.

[edit] disadvantage

The disadvantage of this method should be mentioned, especially how much were spoiled. Furthermore, in which area, this method is banned. Jackzhp 14:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge

A tag proposing this article be merged with drift net has sat on this article for eleven months without comment. I see no advantage in a merge and will remove the tag in a couple of days if there are no objections. --Geronimo20 (talk) 05:55, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Tag removed. --Geronimo20 (talk) 08:29, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
