A fact from Gunilda appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 December 2020 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the
Cousteau Society visited the wreck of the yacht Gunilda in
Lake Superior in 1980, calling it "the most beautiful shipwreck in the world"?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Article is big and new enough, correct creator credited. No copyright infringement. The final voyage section is blank. Also there is a piece of text: " Broennle located Hague's close" -- was that supposed to include "skeleton" "remains" or "corpse"? The article itself is neutral even if some are enthused by the subject. It is completely referenced, in some places, citation overkill. QPQ is not strictly required as only 3 DYK credits received till today (1 failed, and 2 other noms in progress though, so QPQ will be needed soon) (update: QPQ confirmed) Picture is in article, and would be public domain due to age. It is clear at the mini size. Original hook is in article, referenced and confirmed. good to go with original hook.

Comment: I have plans to finish the final voyage section today, or tomorrow when I have more free time. Also, thanks for pointing out the mistake I made in the salvage attempts section (I accidentally missed out the word "remains"). Thanks for reviewing.

I am a direct descendant of the owners of Cox & King who designed Gunilda. You kindly referenced their catalogue which I bought in the US a few years ago and created a webpage for it
https://www.francoisgrosjean.ch/cox_and_king/catalogue.html
It's a real pleasure to see this new entry and I wish to congratulate the author(s).
When Wendy Schnur and I did a thorough search and listing of the Cox & King vessels (see here:
https://www.francoisgrosjean.ch/cox_and_king/vessels.html), we presented the owners in this order: J. Sladen, F. Sykes (England) & W. Harkness (NY).
The second para under Gunilda today mentions the death of Charles "King" Hague in 1970 - but the second para under Salvage attempts mentions Jack "King" Hague. Maybe his name was Jack Charles Hague (or Charles Jack Hague) and his nickname was King - but either way it would be helpful of his name was consistent. Prisoner of Zenda (

CaptainAngus, the outcome of
the discussion we had regarding the use of the word "manned" ended with the decision to keep it in the article. I have not changed my mind, and
MOS:GNL doesn't outlaw the use of the word, except when applied to space programs. Please stop trying to force your obsession with gender neutral language onto this article.

Apologize for the duplicative edit, I didn't remember the past edit or the discussion, I just came across this page again.
It's a bit much to suggest a good-faith edit is me 'forcing' my 'obsession'. We don't need to rehash the past discussion, but attempting to update the statement in a more general way is hardly a display of force.
