The RV Tiburon is still in the Keys, but their website has changed and Pratt is not on the new site. He has a Facebook page, but I don't know if that is an appropriate link. [[User:Wiki4Thal|Wiki4Thal]] ([[User talk:Wiki4Thal|talk]]) 22:41, 15 June 2012 (UTC) |

Astronaut Aquanauts
Source(s) needed to verify list of astronauts who are/were also aquanauts. This does not seem to be common knowledge about most of the members of the list with the exception of Carpenter.

I think Shepard and Carpenter are rather common knowledge, I know of others who have been down in habitats (Kathy Sullivan leaps to mind) but I don't think any of the others remained the 24 hours that it takes to saturate (and thus qualify).Wiki4Thal (talk) 03:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
There is no "Winch" in Jaws
There is no character "Winch" in Jaws as listed at the IMDb (as of 2012-06-13). See: "Cast (in credits order) verified as complete". Furthermore, there is no reference given for this statement. Without a reference & contradicted by a good source, I assume it is incorrect.
The link, http://www.rvtiburon.com/Staffharold_wes_pratt.htm, for Harold "Wes" Pratt is broken, and a Google site search of www.rvtiburon.com for "pratt" fails.
Is Richard Dreyfuss' character Matt Hooper the one based on Pratt? Or perhaps the shark hunter Quint, played by Robert Shaw.
To do:
- Fix or remove the Pratt link.
- Clarify the existence of a character called "Winch" in Jaws -- if the character exists, provide a reference & make a note in the Jaws article; if not, supply the name of the character based on Pratt (& a reference).
- If there is a character based on Pratt in Jaws, add that fact to the Jaws article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.45.200.48 (talk) 16:17, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
- The character "Matt Hooper" has a nickname in the film, it is "Winch." "Matt Hooper" was based on Wes Pratt, "Quint" was based on Frank Mundas (who passed away about two years ago). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki4Thal (talk • contribs) 22:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
