Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review/Stephen Payne (naval architect)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, this biographical subject is not a "household name" but has wide following among his professional colleagues. I've had a substantial role in developing it from stub/start class and my goal is to bring it to Good Article status. Never having achieved above a "B" evaluation before it is my hope to get some insight on what needs improvement to make it more relevant to readers. First and foremost it's vital to maintain BLP policy out of respect for Stephen Payne's privacy. (I do not personally know Payne nor do I have any communication with him.) Therefore it has to remain focused on the main reason he is notable - his professional life. The Ships Project is not likely to help as I have no maritime credentials or naval service - I'm just an interested enthusiast. (That, and there a few "tag bombers" over there who can be very discouraging but that's a different topic.) I hope one or more of you can point me in the right direction if something is lacking as opposed to just labeling it as substandard. Blue Riband► 01:56, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
