Merger[edit]

I think the destination article should Balize (tug) , because the USS Bignonia is a lot shorter, and is unlikely to be expanded. Please consider this. User:GreatLakesShips (talk) 22:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merged articles[edit]

I've merged the article USS Bignonia with this one (left tag on just in case I did it wrong)

Merge with USS Bignonia (1863) ?[edit]

We've got two articles on the same vessel. A merge seems obvious, but what should the destination article be named? Andy Dingley (talk) 18:17, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this, don't simply remove the merge tag, or else I'm just going to tag it for WP:CSD#A10 Andy Dingley (talk) 21:21, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Engines?[edit]

For an 1863 vessel, a steeple engine seems more likely than a steeple compound engine. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:17, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Original naming?[edit]

I suspect this was Mary Grandy, rather than Grandy Mary.[1] Andy Dingley (talk) 18:19, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You were right, it was Mary Grandy. Thanks for pointing it out. User:GreatLakesShips (talk) 12:8, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
