[edit] High importance
Without actually counting, it looks like over 500 articles link here. I think this article needs to be improved to serve as a better gateway to the maritime articles. Haus42 16:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Integrated some info from Merchant Navy and upgraded to start-class. Haus42 23:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Definition
Don't believe what they say. Though some Navy officers claim that they're not sailors, the opposite is true. Claiming to not be sailors is like saying "i'm better than you." So stand with me and declare that Officers ARE sailors. And if you're an officer and claim to not be a sailor, you're a disgrace to the Navy, a disgrace to the U.S. and you should have joined the Army.
- I'm sure Royal Navy officers would hate to be a disgrace to the U.S. GeeJo (t) (c) • 03:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
In colloquial English sailor is a term used for a homosexual: why has this been removed?
- It's been moved to Sailor (disambiguation) GeeJo (t) (c) • 03:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- This article shows sailor and mariner to have the same meaning. In the maritime industry the term sailor most often refers to unlicensed deck. KAM 15:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tar (nautical)
Hopefully no problem with merging that stub into here. It is only a dict definition. Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley talk contrib 19:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merging Tar not supported - Tar article to be expanded
