List of passengers on board RMS Titanic edit

This list has come a really long way since it first started and I believe it to be fully comprehensive and well-referenced --Thanks, Hadseys 19:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A list of passengers aboard the RMS Titanic, which struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean while en route to New York City on its maiden voyage, and sank. - bad introduction, if you mean "This is a list of ...etc., that is also discouraged. You should never begin an FL or any list in that way. Simply say that The RMS Titanic, was blah blah which blah blah and had blah blah passengers.
A name in italics denotes a person who was saved. Note, included in this list are the nine-member Guarantee Group and the eight members of the ship's band, who were given passenger accommodations and treated as both passengers and crew.[3][4] They are also included in the list of crew members on board RMS Titanic article. - this should go as a key and not in the lead.
Passengers' names that are bolded indicates a middle name that the person was generally known by. A person generally referred to by a nickname is in quotes, while an alias is put into parenthesis. - so should this...
Survivors were rescued from the lifeboats by the RMS Carpathia. Of the 711 passengers and crew rescued from the RMS Titanic, one, William F. Hoyt, died in a lifeboat during the night, and another five died on board the Carpathia and were buried at sea. - buried at sea? so they tossed the corpse into the sea?
Numbers 324 and 325 were unused, and the six passengers buried at sea by the Carpathia also went unnumbered. - numbers? what do these numbers mean, who chose them? You say nothing about it.
The three bodies recovered by the RMS Oceanic, numbers 331, 332 and 333, were occupants of Collapsible A, which was swamped in the last moments of the sinking. - what was the "Collapsible?"
Several people managed to reach the boat, although some died during the night. - "some" is weasly, need to be precise.
The superscript next to the body number indicates the recovery vessel that picked up the body.

   * MB - CS Mackay-Bennett (bodies 1-306)
   * M - CS Minia (bodies 307-323)
   * MM - CGS Montmagny (bodies 326-329)
   * A - SS Algerine (body 330)
   * O - RMS Oceanic (bodies 331-333)
   * I - SS Ilford (body 334)
   * OT - SS Ottowa (body 335)

- should also be in the key

These are just examples of how bad the prose is, the table also needs cleanup. I strongly suggest that before FLC, this list should have been Peer Reviewed.--S _R X 20:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily Closed According to this, you are not a regular contributor to the article and have only made 8 edits, all on the same day. Please read the rules next time before nominating. Also, there were over 3000 passengers on the Titanic but less than a thousand listed here so this list is nowhere near complete. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
