It would be better to get a image of the deck itself, rather than of the stern windows, with the deck not visible. A little hard to get the angle without climbing into the rigging, perhaps a zoom from forecastle. Stan 16:34, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
The Image is useless as is. There must be a better one out there. Right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.184.101 ( talk) 13:00, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Since we have "puppis" from the latin, that is really all the source citation required. Fiddle Faddle 12:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
How has the poop deck been used? How did it get it's name? InvertRect 21:22, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
A poop deck is a poop deck is a poop deck. I have removed that tag because I do not see it as valid for this page. The dereivation is present. My view is that asking for histir=cal information for this page is the same as asking for it about a tiller, or a ship's wheel, or about any other normal nautical item. If people disagree with me please feel at liberty to revert my removal. Fiddle Faddle 21:45, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
In the ADVENTURE OF THE CARDBOARD BOX (A C Doyle), the killer's confession includes a description of one of his victims as a "dashing, swaggering chap, smart and curled, who had seen half the world and could talk of what he had seen....and he had wonderful and polite ways with him for a sailor man, so that I think there must have been a time when he knew more of the poop than the forecastle." -- I would be nice to understand the significance of activities in the "poop" to add dimension to this excerpt. 74.44.154.130 ( talk) 20:10, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
You might also want to include that it was called the poop deck because it was the place that they stored animals. This way all the unpleasant smells would be carried away during the ships passage and all the "poop" could simply be push or shoveled into the wake of the boat. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by SGMJonathan ( talk • contribs) 05:27, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm glad I read this. I was contemplating pooping from a poop deck as a kind of homage to Family Guy. As the mostly landlubberly scurvy dog you're ever likely to encounter on the seven seas of the internet, I'd never have thought about the obvious wind direction problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.57.250.8 ( talk) 15:41, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
NEMT has placed the homer simpson quote that has lived for a ling time in the talk page within the text of the article, at the head. The initial part of this section is addressed to NEMT.
The quote is in my view wholly not relevant to the article, which is an article which attracts regular vandalism. Its position on the talk page, a long term position, is the correct place for it unless and until you can justify its placement in the article and cite it. I acknowledge that you hold a different view. I am removing it for the moment as uncited and seeking to build a consensus either way. See below.
You ask in your edit summary that this be discussed on the talk page. Equally, with a quotation likely to incite extra vandalism, it could be argued that you should have discussed placement in the article here prior to placing it, and certainly prior to replacing it prior to reverting my removal. So we are now discussing it on the talk page.
I argue that the quotation is uncited and likely to incite additional vandalism. Equally, if it is decided by consensus that it should be in the article then the position in the article currently is wholly incorrect. Articles do not start with quotations.
Since consensus is what we are about, I suggest we attempt to reach it. I am returning us to the "pre-added state" to minimise incitement to vandalism and suggest we reach the consensus from there. Fiddle Faddle 21:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
The question is "Should the quotation "Is the poop deck really what I think it is?" -- Homer Simpson" be included in the article. If it is included, it must have a proper citation
Please respond "Include Homer" or "Exclude Homer" and give reasons: It would be appreciated if at least ine editor can find a citation for the quotation.
Why is this in here? Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 22:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
I have always wondered what the word POOP DECK ment. — [ Unsigned comment added by 69.14.110.185 ( talk • contribs).]
Perhaps there could be a 'related articles' section, with a link to other boating articles, such as Cleaveland Steamer? 123.16.197.208 ( talk) 07:25, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Not truly relevant to "poop deck", but isn't the "island" on an aircraft carrier usually on the port side? I also now better understand the other uses of the word "poop". Iroll2000 ( talk) 14:43, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
I think the picture of the Surprise replica is not warranted in this article. It does show a quarterdeck, not a poop. 6th rates did not have poops. See eg. Lavery, Nelson's Navy, general remarks about shipbuilding and decks. -- 84.177.35.177 ( talk) 20:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC) de:Benutzer:Marinebanker
Subject says it all, really. This should be in Category:Ship compartments. Can somebody with access please add it? 2601:E:CD80:34E:8C9A:B2F:E733:6FD5 ( talk) 08:50, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
