Nice article[edit]

And interesting photos. Congrats!

Thanks, if it wasn't for the trip out to Watsons Bay and the info on the plaque, this article would not have been possible for me. The info seems to be a little hard to come by on the net. Cheers_Ad@m.J.W.C. (talk) 00:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would still like to add as much as poss, more info about the winch house and maybe a black and white photo of it would do it some justice as well. Cheers_Ad@m.J.W.C. (talk) 00:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Possible"[edit]

The last image caption reads "A possible entrance to a World War II bunker or tunnel system located on Green Point near the winch house foundations" is "possible" hinting at original research? The image page seems to say there is no doubt that it is the enterance. Which is right? And are there 3rd parties that agree that is either is, or possibly is the enterance? It's a little confusing, but good, interesting article. SGGH speak! 17:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plus why does it show in one picture that the defensive measure is called an "Anti-torpedo net" when the article is called an "Anti-submarine boom net"? --293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 17:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was used for both purposes but I thought that anti sub boom was more approp for article name. Cheers_Ad@m.J.W.C. (talk) 01:11, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naming issues[edit]

There were hundreds of these, in every port or harbour or river estuary of any note anywhere in the world that either the Allied or Axis navies operated. This article is named as if it is about anti-sub boom nets in general, but is only about the Sydney one. These were defences of note, they deserve an article to themselves, and I think the name of this article should be changed to have the word "Sydney" in it somewhere.

Nice article though!

Yes, I agree. Anti-submarine boom nets are a worthwhile topic for an article, and many of the individual nets will be notable. I'd suggest that this article be moved to either Sydney anti-submarine boom net or Anti-submarine boom net (Sydney). --Nick Dowling (talk) 23:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The name that I gave this in the first place was Anti-submarine boom net (Sydney Harbour WWII), someone changed it to anti boom net or something or rather, I have now changed it back. Cheers_Ad@m.J.W.C. (talk) 01:12, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. --Nick Dowling (talk) 04:44, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
