Comments on table

I've left my comments here, but feel free to move them if you think it's more appropriate to discuss this anywhere else. It looks pretty good so far, I especially like how everything is standardised, you know instantly where to look for ship type, casualties, survivors, etc. It seems to be a great improvement over the current system. Template syntax isn't my bailiwick, but if there was some way to make the table sortable, that could be very useful too, and allow it to be ordered by date, number of casualties, country of ship, name of ship, etc. This could go a long way towards sorting out the current discussion on how to order and arrange the entries. Just a suggestion, but even if this is not possible, I definitely think we should convert the current list article into this table format, or one like it. Very good work thus far!

I like it, but the ship names would be better if they were in bold. Not all shipwrecks result in the loss of a ship though. Some ships that are grounded (and thus covered by the lists scope) are later refloated and see further service. Mjroots (talk) 07:37, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
