[edit] Merge
Merged bar pilot and harbour pilot (containing mostly the same text) into maritime pilot, as per Talk:Bar pilot#Merge proposal. It’s still not a very good article; it’s missing references and is barely more than a stub.
In accordance with WP:NOT#LINK, I have removed most of the links and images in the original articles. The removed links are:
- American Pilots Association
- Australian Marine Pilots Association
- Biscayne Bay Pilots
- Boston Pilot Association
- Columbia River Bar Pilots
- Columbia River Pilots
- Corporation of Lower St Lawrence Pilots
- Honolulu Pilots
- Houston Pilots
- Association of Maryland Pilots
- Northeast Marine Pilots
- Norwegian Pilots
- Puget Sound Pilots
- Sandy Hook Pilots
- San Francisco Bar Pilots
- Savannah Pilots Association
- Western Great Lakes Pilots
The removed images are:
- Image:uptheladder.jpg “Columbia River Bar Pilot boarding a bulk carrier at sea”
- Image:Pilot boat.JPG “Pilot boat Apollo, Rotterdam, is equipped with many railings to give pilots handholds while transferring.”
- Image:Clyde pilot boat July06.jpg “Pilot boat Mount Stuart heads out on the Firth of Clyde.”

- Also merged Marine Pilots into this page, as this appears to be a synonym. Anaxial (talk) 18:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Add sections for specific pilot types.
As per note in Talk:Bar pilot the following are suggested:
- Sea Pilots (e.g. [1]),
- Bar Pilots (e.g. [2],
- River Pilots (e.g. [3] and [4]),
- Canal Pilots (e.g. [5] and [6]),
- Harbour & Docking Pilots (e.g. [7]).
However, some pilotages perform all these activities within a single group of pilots (e.g. [8].

- This would of course be useful, if someone wrote more than three words about the specifics of each type. :-) -Ahruman 09:52, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
