Talk:water-line model

RFV discussion: March–May 2022
Apparently taken from Webster 1913, but apparently it's not in there either. Notusbutthem (talk) 19:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Abundantly citable at Google Books here. DCDuring (talk) 21:00, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * : the entry is at the hyphenated spelling, not the unspaced one that you linked to. Not that it makes a huge difference- both are sufficiently attested. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:02, 31 March 2022 (UTC)


 * : It's part of the entry for water line. The hyphen is only there because water line is used attributively to modify model. At first glance, the definition make no sense- until you realize that they're using a specialized sense of water line. Even then, it's not all that clear to those of us who don't know a lot about shipbuilding. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:02, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * It's one of those places where images help. I didn't find one at Commons. We might benefit from a reference template that linked to Google Images. I'll pull something together for that. DCDuring (talk) 12:29, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
