Sailboats 'docking' offshore???

"Docked" needs to be replaced with "anchored". If you're at a dock, you're docked. If you're floating offshore, you're anchored. Master picker of nits here, and old time sailboat sailor. See: "In 1878 James West opened a group of bathhouses near the beach. Although there was no steamboat service, sailboats often docked just offshore." 2600:1700:BF10:69D0:C909:64AA:CAB5:62E (talk) 17:34, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

I changed it to docking and anchoring. It is likely the dock that was in use a few years prior was still there. However, it probably couldn't accommodate everyone visiting.—JlACEer (talk) 01:26, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

U said probably. but however since when exactly on wikipedia rules is probably a sufficient reason to state something probably? Dont you have a source which states there was still a dock here in 1878? And if u dont have a source then why did you keep the word docking at all? 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 19:51, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

small rowboats don't need docks and don't need to anchor offshore. They just pull up onto the beach. 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 19:59, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

So if there was no steamboat then how did people get there if not in small rowboats? In big pleasure yachts or something? I think your whole statement needs reevaluated. 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 20:03, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

And how do you know how big the 1870 dock was anyway? Was it only big enough for the one steamboat? Or also accommodated dozens of pleasure yachts in 1870? Aren't u just filling in blanks with your own imagination not source references? 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 20:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

and b t w, there is no mention of James West, at all, in the Francis book that is referenced in that statement. Doesn't anybody here bother to check these edits for accuracy? Or just too busy picking on inexperienced newbees? 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 22:12, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

The Francis Images of America book has a photo that was taken in the 1880s; the caption states the photo was taken from the Bay Steamship Dock. According to that source, the dock was still there. All of this is pointless discussion since the text was removed several weeks ago.—JlACEer (talk) 04:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

The point is obvious. That questionable information should never have appeared in this article. But, unfortunately, the article has certain people controlling its content, who constantly violate Wikipedia standards. And until that control ends, this article will continue to contain false and misleading information. 2607:FB91:174F:9AEB:1544:BB1:BA38:FB0E (talk) 06:36, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

"questionable information should never have appeared in this article" – Anyone with an internet connection can edit Wikipedia. Junk, unsourced claims, vandalism, trolling on talk pages, etc., happen all the time unfortunately. Feel free to pitch in and help out when it happens. --GoneIn60 (talk) 07:53, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Many contributors have attempted to help improve and correct the edits of two specific controlling editors here. With the result being a lock-down of this article, and the rapid disappearance of suggestions on this talk page. So, @gonein60, get real. In fact, get real gone. And then afterwards this article might finally get repaired and be encyclopedic instead of a rambling non-encyclopedic mess that it is, currently. 2607:FB91:174F:9AEB:1544:BB1:BA38:FB0E (talk) 14:20, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

"the rapid disappearance of suggestions on this talk page" – This is called archiving, a standard process for busy talk pages on Wikipedia. The archives are accessible at the top and also in the talk page history. You can read more about that at WP:ARCHIVE. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:34, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Update: I've struck the uncivil comments above by the IP editor who has been warned and even blocked for incivility in the past. Focus on ways to improve the article, backed by reliable sources. Do not treat this page as a vessel for personal complaints that fail to offer up any real solutions. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:40, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 8 April 2024

Can someone please add that today in 2024, there is a Solar Eclipse ceremony at Cedar Point. Can someone add this to the timeline? Please. 2601:40A:8400:1820:427:7832:BEB5:8A5D (talk) 16:44, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

There are probably solar eclipse ceremonies/gatherings at various sites around the country along the path of the eclipse. These are not notable to the subject of these articles. Just because they occur does not mean they deserve coverage on Wikipedia. See WP:DUE for more info. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:03, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
