Bonnet, a rectangular or trapezoidal sail attachment

Bkonrad removed "Bonnet, a sail that was historically used on larger sailing ships, where it is a rectangular or trapezoidal sail that was attached to the lower part of a main sail or a fore-and-aft sail. Bonnets were used to increase the sail area and provide more power." because no linked article supporting the claimed usage. DL5MDA (talk) 17:19, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Since disambiguation pages are meant to help readers find articles that may have ambiguous titles, it is a basic expectation that every dab entry have a blue link that leads to an article with some relevant content about the term. olderwiser 18:03, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Article "Bonnet (sail)": False claim of copyright infringement

To Cosmic840, Whpq, Diannaa and Orange_sticker: This is about your speedy deletion [1] [2] of the articles "Bonnet Sail" and "Bonnet (sail)". The content of the articles was based on (1) The Elements and Practice of Rigging And Seamanship by (1794) by David Steel, Chapter Sail Making, p. 84, (2) the The Sailor's Word-Book by (1867) by Admiral William Henry Smyth and Sir Edward Belcher, and (3) the history section in the Wikipedia article reefing. These sources have no copyright. Would you please have the kindness to explain why those articles "appear to be an unambiguous copyright infringement"? DL5MDA (talk) 08:37, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Replied on your talk page. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:28, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I am impressed how Diannaa responded and how she and others helped to improve the article Bonnet_(sail) and this disambiguation page. Thank you all! DL5MDA (talk) 07:04, 26 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
