User SpurnWater71 joined the Wikipedia user community on 5 January 2021 and made their first minor edit that same day. SpurnWater71 interests are in the areas of:
- Advanced Networking and Protocols, including coherent optical, X-Ray, and Quantum Networking
- Naval History spanning the last 150 years, warship construction technology, including propulsion (nuclear propulsion in particular), weapon systems, electronics and sensors
- Warship modeling in 1/350 and 1/2400 scale, especially super-detailing base kits with aftermarket parts
SpurnWater71, an engineering professional, brings a passion for rigorous uniformity and consistency to terminology and conventions used on Wikipedia pages as a means of increasing accuracy and improving readability and ease of comprehension from one similar page (e.g. warship history) to another. SpurnWater71, a long time and extensive Wikipedia user, has noted several areas were uniformity and consistency can be improved:
- Use of the term "Class" in reference to warships. Specifically, "class" is being applied to commercial or international consortium common design families that are highly customized by purchasing Navies to such an extent that they cannot be considered a single class. The multiple variants of the MEKO type and the new European Patrol Craft (EPC) are examples of warship families that should not be called "classes" in SpurnWater71's view.
- Inconsistent use of the terms "completed" and "commissioned" with regard to warship history. More generally, a consistent warship lifecycle taxonomy and model is suggested.
- More consistency and uniformity on network protocol and technology Wikipedia pages.
SpurnWater71 welcomes Talk about these areas.
