seriously...?

"Lürssen´s only son, Otto, joins the firm as a partner, contributing far-reaching practical and theoretical knowledge. As a shipbuilding engineer, he combines tried and trusted craftsmanship with new technical expertise, improving on past techniques. This approach, handed down over the decades, remains to this day the essence of Lürssen´s unique quality and innovative spirit."

Is this an encyclopaedia article or a brochure? is Wikipedia selling mega-yachts now? Yeesh.

RSN Victory Class Corvette

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Republic_of_Singapore_Navy#Corvettes and https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Victory-class_corvette claim that Lürssen developed the Victory Class Corvette for the Singaporan Navy and built the type ship (the other five were built in parts and shipped to Singapore where ST Marine assembled the parts). This article does not mention this class amongst Lürssen's builds... is there a reason for it or was it an oversight? --5.146.47.75 (talk) 19:11, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Issues

This article is written ----strangely. An example:

"In 1988 Lürssen decides to add a new division. Currently the shipyards are operating at 90% capacity with navy contracts but the company decides to split the production between the naval ships and the luxury yachts. From now on, the company devotes half of its production capacity to the building of large yachts. In 1991 the yacht Be Mine is completed, one of the first yachts to be designed and built entirely under the direction of the newly established independent Lürssen yachtbuilding division. She goes on to win the prestigious International Superyacht Society Design Award as well as the Superyacht of the Year Award.".

A mixture of present and past tense writing for the whole paragraph as well as the entire article like "1925 is a special year for Lürssen.". Since the current year is 2019 there is an issue continually using present tense wording for past events. Otr500 (talk) 00:34, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's been copied from the company's own promotional history at https://www.lurssen.com/en/about/history/ (and maybe one or two other places). This was done in 2016, and no-one has cleaned it up since. I propose flagging it with the 'advert' and/or 'cleanup-PR' template messages, and perhaps deleting most of what was added back then.

The offending sections are History and The Company. I think they could be deleted, and then people could use some third party sources to summarise it all. Peace Makes Plenty (talk) 20:27, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
