I was expecting a section (or link) to piracy on this page; particularly one that might address recent attacks relating to Yemen, eg. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-yemen-ship-attack-526842504dc9f6bb7ca6e1d5104f77a3 103.133.98.124 (talk) 06:04, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some feckhead keeps deleting it. Perhaps you can see what the problem is and help me rectify it. 110.145.11.12 (talk) 15:51, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that 1) This is a current event and really shouldn't be covered like this per WP:NOTNEWS and 2) you are significantly overstating what is actually in the available sources. MrOllie (talk) 16:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NOTNEWS is actually irrelevant here because in a lot of other articles current events are mentioned.110.145.11.12 (talk) 16:17, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The image_bathymetry parameter of this article's infobox contains this image. The image expects visitors to read the names of countries surrounding the sea, and then know where on earth these countries are - and thus the sea is - located. For people such as myself, an image like this one (archived) makes it far easier to understand where the sea is located. Gotta zoom out, man; the current image is bad. --95.99.94.82 (talk) 10:33, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck are you talking about??? The map is good. People can read and if they cannot read then they should learn to read.110.145.11.12 (talk) 14:29, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
