New section 'Obstructions'?

[edit]

Would it be advisable to create a new section entitled 'Obstructions', or perhaps a subsection under the section 'History', and include the multiple obstructions including the most recent one (Affinity V)? Compusolus (talk) 01:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline section

[edit]

A lot of the timeline section is already covered in the history, and acts as a trivia list. I'm going to make a start with removing duplicated facts, integrating anything that's relevant and removing anything too tangential. Timtjtim (talk) 11:39, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've cut out things that are already part of the history, and I've moved the the three incidents to a new section.
The remaining two trivia items are:
  • 10 January 1950: Passenger tariffs are abolished.
  • 1 January 2008: New rules of navigation passed by the Suez Canal Authority came into force together with an increase of fees for transit of about 7.1%.
Neither of these seem especially important to me - I certainly wouldn't want us to start keeping track of every price increase! I think I'm going to remove these. Timtjtim (talk) 12:25, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh - the latter is part of Navigation anyway Timtjtim (talk) 12:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Red Sea crisis

[edit]

Hello, this article doesn't mention the current Red Sea crisis, please add information about it. 190.99.107.218 (talk) 13:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to! Editors are always encouraged to be WP:BOLD! I'll note that the Suez Canal is only tangentially related to the crisis, so I don't think there's a huge amount to add! Timtjtim (talk) 17:31, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, apologies: per GAN instructions, you need to be a significant contributor to the article to nominate. While you have worked on it a bit recently, it's not enough that a significant chunk is your work. (See authorship breakdown here) Especially since this is your first Good Article nomination, I would suggest doing a thorough run-through on the article improving the prose, and then co-nominate with someone else who has done a significant chunk of work on here. Great work so far, though! Before co-nominating, make sure to familiar yourself with all the sources used. You will need to be able to answer questions on a source review of these.
