  • curprev 01:3001:30, 30 May 2023 98.46.111.3 talk 28,974 bytes +1,000 Repaired JBoats.com dead link (choosing an archive date consistent with the original access-date, so that the actual version of the web page originally reviewed continues to appear). Noting that this is a poor source, unsupportive of the conjecture that appears. (A single data ppoint does not provide a trendline, and a commercial source is not a scholarly support of a statement regarding an historical trend.) undo

  • curprev 01:0401:04, 30 May 2023 67.167.9.63 talk 29,637 bytes +31 Symmetric: Have not the time tonight to check whether all of this on setting a symmetric spinnaker is accurate to the appearing source, or if, as in other places in the article, the inline citation placed is not the real source, but rather something placed to give the impression of sourcing being in compliance. But what is clear, is that we have a single, 25-year old perspective that purports to fully capture what expert sailers think about setting this sail type, in all circumstances. undo
  • curprev 01:0301:03, 30 May 2023 HopsonRoad talk contribs 29,606 bytes −621 Nomenclature: Remove unsourced, redundant, incorrectly named section. The topic is covered below. undo Tag: Visual edit
  • curprev 00:5900:59, 30 May 2023 67.167.9.63 talk 30,227 bytes +593 Code 0: Noting that section tag is still germane. Single source appearing covers < 8% of whole section, but it is a dead URL even for that (and is very specific, and so narrowly useful). That is to say, this missing source, even if resurrected, does nothing to support the rest of the 90% of material appearing. If it can be made to work, it supports only one usual usage of a specific nomenclature. (That is, if link is permanently dead, its loss impact is small, as a poor source.) undo
  • curprev 00:4100:41, 30 May 2023 67.167.9.63 talk 29,634 bytes +70 "Spinnaker flying": Returning to this section to make clear that "flying a spinnaker" (common sailing language referring to a manner of powering the sailboat) is not the same as "spinnaker flying" (the recreational activity described here). Because of the confusion it might cause here, I would recommend this section be moved to elsewhere in the article, at least. undo
  • curprev 00:3400:34, 30 May 2023 67.167.9.63 talk 29,564 bytes +2,070 Spinnaker chute: Before today's edit, NO info in this section was from the citation presented; that placed ref was utterly misused here, and text that appeared is WP:OR or plagiarism. The edit therefore did two things: 1, What the citation does say is now presented, and that inline citation remains appearing. 2, And the rest of the material, which is related, but differs in scope and language from that one source presented, is marked as needing to have its actual source(s) identified. undo
