Hello! I thought the sailing magazine, Cruising World, a reliable & published source of legitimate information about sailing issues and sailboat topics since 1975 would (and should) be considered legitimate. Their independent annual analysis of new designs and equipment has been impeccable for several decades. Why is sailing journalism declined for Wikipedia submissions? What about the webpage Sailboat Data, which is obvi more data driven — do you think that is a better choice for a sail topic submission? Should I try again, only with less ambition, less detail? Thanks for your assistance, greatly appreciated. Margaretd70 (talk) 16:27, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
