The complete article seems to be copied from the second source. Plus it has POW policy violations.--87.123.216.114 22:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lol
Kind of ironic that that this vessel is from the Norwegians Nil Einne 12:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Somewhat more on topic, does anyone know if it was purchased from the Norwegian government? If so did they know who they were selling it to? It seems strange to me that someone would sell a vessel to a group they consider pirates and/or terrorists, then again the Americans et al appear to do this kind of thing all the time Nil Einne 13:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Those aren't Zodiacs in the pictures, they are Sea Doo personal water craft (PWC). Zodiac is a brand name. 152.121.17.6 01:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article name
For standardisation with other Wikipedia ship articles and according to the naming policy set down by WikiProject Ships, we should really call this article RV Farley Mowat. I will move it soon if no one disagrees. Nomadtales 22:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds fine to me. She should probably appear on the list under R/V as well. bikeable (talk) 22:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted paragraph
I deleted this
- Update on June 21, 2007. CBC radio (Canada) reported a few days ago that "the" or "a" Mohawk nation, with only "one of three" "longhouses" affirming (two longhouses did not attend), has granted Mohawk flags to two of the ships, which will set sail in July and October of 2007, respectively, to prevent Japan from killing whales. Reading between the lines of the CBC report, I think these particular Mohawks are in Quebec but I'm not sure about that, and I haven't been able to find anything more via the web as of June 21, 2007. Nor do I know if two longhouses actually dissented or were merely absent without stating an opinion. Nor do I know for sure, but I assume, that "longhouses" are sub-groups within the Mohawk nation. It is not clear whether international law will allow these ships to sail with Mohawk flags, but the Captain of the Farley Mowat says they will set sail and find out rather quickly as soon as they hit international waters. He seemed ready for a fight in the CBC radio interview.
This paragraph is written in first person, and if it is reinstated needs to be written in an encylopedic, in particular WP:NPOV manner Also it needs to cite sources Billlion 17:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Who did the ramming?
Sea Shepherd say that the Des Groseillers did the ramming. Some Canadian politicians say that the Farley Mowat did the ramming. The latter claim has been added to this article (or the Sea Shepherd article) several times, but the video on the Sea Shepherd website seems to contradict this. It seems clear that we cannot report either side's version as fact. --Hans Adler (talk) 00:16, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
