Talk:William Francis Gibbs

Weak article

I found this article while looking for a quick reference which I could point friends to after reading Ujifusa's book. I was ashamed to see a WP article so poorly constructed, with a misleading lead section. This type of sloppy work really undermines the credibility of the project.

While I don't have time now to document and reference the modifications, I hope that someone will take interest in this critical maritime article, and do justice to the topic. The Ujifusa book is available for Kindle through Amazon at a reasonable price and is a great read.
