You are doing a nice work. I am also interested to be a part of this work. Could you please tell me who are you collecting these information so that I can also help you regarding this issue? -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 16:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Names in bold

Why are there some middle names in bold? Eje211 23:18, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Those are the names that the person or people were generally known by. For example, the two Allison children were always referred to by their middle names, Lorraine and Trevor, and Edvin Rojj Felix Asplund was known as Felix, etc. As opposed to people to were known by nicknames, like Margaret "Molly" Brown, where the nicknames are in quotes, and those who travelled under an alias, who are put in paranthesis.

[edit] Um...

Is it even possible for this list to be fully completed? Novody has the exact list of all the 2500+ passenegrs. Codelyoko193 Talk 20:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Encyclopedia-Titanica.org has the most complete and up-to-date list avaliable. I haven't had much time to work on this, which is why it's still unfinished, but afaik, ET's list is complete as well as the most accurate, having been researched by some of the best Titanic historians out there.

I got my answer that I asked you just one min back. Very soon, you'll find me beside you preparing this list. Cheers. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 16:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Missing people

Why are so many passengers missing in this list? I can't see Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Howard, Mrs. Mary Mack, Mrs. Imanita Shelley, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. R. Turpin and many others on this manifest. Someone should complete it. If it's not complete, It's just bulls**t, isn't it?. By the way many names are written incorrectly. OfficeBoy (talk) 23:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm working on it and the crew article. It's hard when there's just one person usually doing all the work, but I'm getting there. All the first class passengers, and all second and third class families with children are finished. Morhange (talk) 00:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assistance

Hello, I have been editing several survivors' biographies on Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Titanica, and would be glad to assist your work in any way!

[edit] Overlinking

I noticed how over-linked this article is. Per Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context, each target should really only be linked once. --John (talk) 01:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About F-list failure

It is really sad that this list failed to qualify on F-list. One of the main reasons is its incomplete look and also lazy effort. I am currently working on another list that I have nominated for F-list two days back and now I am feeling the real heat. These days, I am spending 10-14 hours on Wikipedia to make necessary corrections as per reviewers suggestions. It is quite natural. To pass a list on F-list, active editors have to contribute massively at least during the review period. Anyway, as I promised to work on this list (also opened an account on Titanic encyclopaedia), I will get back soon and contribute my 100% effort to pass it as a Featured List. Cheers! -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 00:22, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I feel bad for being lazy but as a college sophomore, my schedule is SO busy, I don't have much time to do much aside from minor corrections. However, over spring break, I did finish the second class list. I've been primarily working on this on my own, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Morhange (talk) 01:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Thesexygerman changes

New user Thesexygerman (talk · contribs) has made two sets of changes: 1 and 2. It seems likely that he is giving us reliable first-hand information; so now we need to find some reliable sources to bad it up. John Vandenberg (talk) 02:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps, but Encyclopedia Titanica, generally a reliable source of information for survivors and victims, gives Edith's birthdate as 1875, making her 36. ET also notes that Ida Hippach is the daughter of Edward Fischer and Julia Boehm, which would make her maiden name Fischer, not McGrath, nor does it give additional names for Ida or list Jean's name as Gertrudia. Judith Geller's book gives the same information (Edith Corse Evans aged 36, not Edith Martha Corse Evans, aged 26) and Ida Sophia, née Fischer. I cannot find any sources for what Thesexygerman (talk · contribs) has added, so unless they can be provided, I'm reverting. Morhange (talk) 03:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Can you provide some direct links to the pages being used as references? John Vandenberg (talk) 06:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
If you mean references for this page, I'm primarily using information from Encyclopedia Titanica and Judith Geller's book, Women and Children First which is avaliable through Google Books, although some parts of the passenger list on there are omitted (I own a copy of the actual book though) Morhange (talk) 10:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
