[edit] Titanic Victims

While some victims of the Titanic sinking probably drowned, anyone even remotely aware of the disaster knows that most died of hypothermia due to the cold water as many were wearing life perservers that would have kept them afloat yet the exposure got to them before rescue ships could arrive.

Thank you for the gratuitous insult, but anyone even remotely aware of the disaster also knows that the individuals I listed went down with the ship and that there is no indication that they floated in life preservers. Since you say "some victims of the sinking probably drowned," I would ask what evidence you have that these were not among them. --SteveG23 01:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Again, no evidence exists that they drowned, ergo they cannot go on a list devoted to drowning victims. RoyBatty42 07:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I see. Do you apply the same standard to Hippasus; Ptolemy XIII; William Adelin; Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter; George, Duke of Clarence; Robert Maxwell; or, of all things, Rasputin? --SteveG23 18:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dating

Nice list. Any thought of having the date (or at least the year) first in the item. Makes it easier to see the chronology. Didn't want to change without asking, as this seems to be a labor of love!!Teddyboy ben (talk) 23:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
