:I can't read French very much, so can someone explain how an article only five paragraphs long qualifies as a featured article? Is it referring to the page plus sub-pages, or something? Most of it is clearly translated / copied from the English pages anyway. --[[User:DannyWilde|DannyWilde]] 06:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

* [[Benguela Eagle(ship)|''Benguela Eagle'']] ran aground 25 km North of the [[Ugab river]] mouth in [[1975]].

* [[Dunedin Star (ship)|''Dunedin Star'']] a British cargo vessel ran aground 80 km south of the [[Kunene River|Kunene river]] mouth on [[November 29]] [[1942]].

* [[Eduard Bohlen (ship)|''Eduard Bohlen'']] a freighter ran aground near [[Kolmanskop]] in [[1909]].

* [[Girdleness (ship)|''Girdleness'']] ran aground South of the [[Ugab river]] mouth in [[1975]].

* [[Suiderkruis (ship)|''Suiderkruis'']] (''Southern Cross'') a South African trawler ran aground at [[Möwe Bay, Namibia|Möwe Bay]] in [[1976]].

It seems like it might be the entire collection, which is odd: "l'ensemble d'articles est complet et (presque) en position pour postuler ici." They seem to have featured WikiPortals as well. On the other hand, I had a look at some of their other featured articles and they appear to be similar to ours (ie: longish, illustrated, complete).

====[[Eastern Cape]]====

:Actually, the listing seems to be wrong, now. The French page has no star in the right hand corner to show it as a featured article. Looking through the history, it was a featured article on April 15th, 2005 (probably when the project was still small), but had it put up for removal on December 14th, which was of course passed. The '''German''' article ''is'' a featured article, but I don't speak German. It seems to be substantial, however, so maybe there's been a change since Danny made his statement 9 months ago. &mdash; [[User:Yom|<font color="green">ዮም</font>]] | '''[[Special:Emailuser/Yom|<font color="#FFD700">(Yom)</font>]]''' | [[User talk:Yom|<font color="red">Talk</font>]] • <small>[[Special:Contributions/Yom|contribs]] • [[WP:ETH|Ethiopia]]</small> 01:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Also, the bit on pronunciation and ''on-yomi'' and ''kun-yomi'' appears out of place here, but I'm not sure what else to do with it, so I'm leaving it where it is. --- [[User:Eirikr|Eirikr]] 02:55, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

===North Africa===

====[[Tunisia]]====

* ''[[Mahdia shipwreck|Mahdia]]''

It's a year late, but the actual pronounciation is actually "jindai moji", although "jindai" can also be read "kamiyo" on it's own. I changed the article[[User:Mackan|Mackan]] 02:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

===West Africa===

* ''[[The Raft of the Medusa|Medusa]]'', French passenger ship off west [[Africa]] in [[1816]]- incompetence

:: I concur. 神代文字 is read as "jindai moji". [[User:Bendono|Bendono]] 05:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

==Asia==

===Turkey===

* [[Cape Gelidonya]] shipwreck

* [[Uluburun shipwreck]]

== Borrowings from Korean ==

==Europe==

:チョンガー (Japanese: chongaa, Korean: 총각 &mdash; chonggak, meaning 'bachelor')

===Denmark===

:ビビンバ (Japanese: bibimba, Korean: 비빔밥 &mdash; bibimbap, a rice bowl with vegetables)

* [[Alexander Nevski (ship)|''Alexander Nevski'']] ran aground

* [[HMS Black Prince (1904)|HMS ''Black Prince'']] sank at the [[Battle of Jutland]], [[1916]]

* [[HMS Defence (1907)|HMS ''Defence'']] magazine explosion during the [[Battle of Jutland]], [[1916]]

* [[HMS Indefatigable (1909)|HMS ''Indefatigable'']] magazine explosion during the [[Battle of Jutland]], [[1916]]

* [[HMS Invincible (1907)|HMS ''Invincible'']] shell struck magazine during the [[Battle of Jutland]], [[1916]]

Of course they couldn't be written in Han-geul in Japanese.

===Finland===

The only non-kana spelling Japanese could possibly borrow from Korean would be Hanja.

* [[Vrouw Maria]], a Dutch merchant ship, ran aground

Any Korean-speakers out there to replace Han-geul with Hanja here ? [[User:Taw|Taw]] 00:17, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

: While I agree that Japanese wouldn't use hangeul to write these words, 비빔밥 is tricky, because as far as I know there is no ''hanja'' for this word; it's a native Korean word. There is a literal translation for the same food ("mixed meal/rice") in Chinese (拌飯 in Traditional Chinese or 拌饭 in Simplified) but I believe these are not considered ''hanja'', since they're read differently (my dictionary says both characters are read "ban" in Korean). The main point of this section was originally to refute a mistaken "fact" posted declaring that ''katakana'' are never used for Chinese or Korean loanwords, but I see your point as well. --[[User:Che fox|Che Fox]] 01:28, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Written Japanese uses multiple scripts, simultaneously, to compose sentences. The absolute most important ones are 1) kanji, 2) hiragana, 3) katakana, and to a much lesser degree 4) Latin. [[User:Bendono|Bendono]] 05:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

===[[Portugal]]===

* ''[[Mary Celeste]]''

===[[Sweden]]===

* ''[[Vasa (ship)|Vasa]]'', [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]]

Written Japanese uses a complete mishmash of characters from the Kana and Kanji scripts. Romaji isn't often used except to explain the language to foreigners. You can't get by only learning one script. There are too many loanwords not to learn katakana, too many native words not to learn hiragana, and kanji is used everywhere except very simple written Japanese.

== Scientific names ==

''See also: [[List of shipwrecks of the Isles of Scilly]]''

This is addressed to whoever put "scientific" names of plants and animals.

====[[Scotland]]====

* [[Akka (ship)|''Akka'']] ran aground in the [[River Clyde]], [[Scotland]] in [[1956]]

* [[HMS Hampshire (1903)|HMS ''Hampshire'']] off the [[Orkney Islands]] in [[1916]]

* [[SMS Markgraf|SMS ''Markgraf'']], [[Scapa Flow]], [[Scotland]] in [[1919]] [http://www.divesitedirectory.co.uk/dive_site_uk_scotland_scapa_wreck_markgraf.html DiveSiteDirectory for Markgraf]

* [[River Dee Ferry Boat Disaster]]

In Japan, as in everywhere else in the world, scientific names of plants and animals are written in Latin, of course, so not in katakana, in romaji.

====[[Wales]]====

* ''[[Resurgam]]'' submarine, collision or scuttling

*[[Rothsay Castle (ship)|''Rothsay Castle'']] ran aground and broke up on the [[Lavan Sands]] in [[1831]]

* [[Royal Charter (ship)|''Royal Charter'']] driven onto rocks near Moelfre, [[Anglesey]] in [[1859]]

In Japan, the rule is that plant and animal species names are written in katakana. Perhaps it is because the kanji versions are so unreadable, I do not know the exact reason for this rule. Obviously "dog" and "cat" are written in kanji or kana, but generally speaking you will find that katakana is actually used for the names of most living things.

* [[North Carolina (ship)|''North Carolina'']] wrecked of West End

I'm removing lots of details from here. The rationale is

===[[Haiti]]===

#Most of the details already exist on the individual pages for each script, e.g. there is a very detailed description of various usages of katakana on the katakana page. The stuff here which didn't exist I am moving, e.g. to the [[romaji]] page.

* [[Mary Celeste]] intentionally grounded in insurance fraud scheme

#Having lots and lots of qualifications on the usages makes it hard for people coming to the article who aren't experts to read. A lot of the current contents are just distracting for a newcomer I think.

* [[Bluenose]] foundered on a reef [[1946]]

I suggest that details e.g. of usage of katakana or hiragana can go on the [[katakana]] or [[hiragana]] and the scripts section of this page can be left as a reasonably accessible introduction for people who don't need to know every little detail but just want a quick basic introduction to Japanese scripts. I put the coloured examples right at the top since they are probably the most useful part of the section for a newcomer. It seems to me that this is a general article and it should be intended for people who don't know Japanese writing, not for people who are already experts. --[[User:DannyWilde|DannyWilde]] 06:25, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
