Talk:SS Xantho

Re the Speedy Delete

Re the Speedy Delete for SS Xantho... I contest this action as the author of the works mentioned, as the archaeologist in charge of the entire Xantho program and the curator at the museum at which the Xantho display appears. There is no copyright infringement in the text or in any images used as a result. Please advise on the reasons for the delete, if they still remain when possible .

It appears to have originally been deleted because it appeared to be a word-for-word copy of [1], while you may be the author, the copyright for that work appears to belong to the publisher, Springer Science+Business Media. Handling copyright matters like this is well beyond my area of expertise...the admin involved, Fastily, may be able to expain more.

Onces that's all sorted, the main hurdles for the articles retention will be meeting the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy, which requires that all information that may be challenged is cited to published sources, and the Wikipedia:Notability guideline, which stipulates that the subject of an article should be written about by multiple sources/authors. -- saberwyn 07:12, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Cleanup tags

This article has been tagged with the {{overdetailed}} and {{Notability}} cleanup tags.

• The Overdetailed tag applies primarily to the "Rediscovery and Engine Restoration" section, particularly the subsection beginning "A new era in...". The section goes into a level of description that may be of interest and use to professionals in the martitime archaeology field, but would completely bewielder a general reader. I think that the section needs a sold trimming down to be more accessible, and the subsections either need to be relabeled (the current headings lend themselves more to a journal piece or thesis, but are too verbose and not very descriptive for a general reader) or removed entirely with the content all rolled into one section. The tag may also apply to the "Loss" section, but a copyedit for clarity is probably all that's needed
• The Notability tag is present because as of this edit, the only sources in the article are two footnotes, each to a similarly-titled work by the same author. As such, the article does not pass the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy, may not pass the Wikipedia:Notability inclusion guideline (which calls for multiple published sources, preferably by multiple authors). -- saberwyn 22:42, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
