Here's the issue, I admit that the definition I was using was not the most useful in this context, and might only be applicable to a rather obscure and narrow section of the population (masters with commercial licenses from the coast guard).

- the largest body of inland water on the west coast of the United States
What did you mean by that? --Ed Poor Talk 14:10, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
- Exactly what I say. You have a point about Great Salt Lake, but that is not on the west coast, in the most strict definition of the term. Though it is, certainly, in the western United States. The west coast, being the coastline, incorporates Puget Sound but not Salt Lake. The only rival in the US to Puget Sound, I believe, is San Francisco Bay, which is smaller. I see how it can be a bit confusing, and I have no problem with that statement being removed. But please do understand I am not intentionally being misleading or confusing.

- Don't be so defensive, I was just asking. By the way, how is inland water defined? --Ed Poor Talk 22:59, 26 May 2008 (EDT)
- I was going by waters one can navigate with an inland license (a quick google search gave me this site for some verification). The Coast Guard has buoys set, beyond which one needs a near-coastal (or ocean) license to serve as master of a commercial vessel. Looking into it a bit more, this might not be the best definition, geographically speaking. There is probably a better term to be used, I suppose. Maybe just "bay" (it's called a sound, but that's not really the right word, actually). Oh well, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Jaguar 23:24, 26 May 2008 (EDT)
- Here is a writing plan for you: Create an Inland water article, using the definition you created above. --Ed Poor Talk 06:55, 27 May 2008 (EDT)
- Writing plan, eh? Okay. Here's the issue, I admit that the definition I was using was not the most useful in this context, and might only be applicable to a rather obscure and narrow section of the population (masters with commercial licenses from the coast guard). While it is a technical definition, I don't think it is the most useful, and probably shouldn't be the one exclusively used in an article on that title. Had I thought about it a bit more when writing the article, I should have just said "inlet". How about I write an inlet article, and mention the inland master's license within that? I think it would be more useful that way. What do you think? Jaguar 13:55, 27 May 2008 (EDT)
