[edit] As a tour guide

Hello all,

I've been a tour guide on the Irvin for the last four years, so that's where I've been getting all this information from. I'm pretty busy at school, so I'm trying to add a little bit every day. Does anyone know how to cite personal or professional experience? Because I'm not getting this info from a web page; this is coming from a script and several years of experience.

I'll try to get a bunch of pictures up as soon as I can. If I can't get them this year, I'll wait until summer so I can go myself into the engine room, boiler room, guest and crew's quarters, pilothouse, tunnels, etc.

Thanks! --Erik

Lot of great information here, but presented in a very non-encyclopedia language. Thanks for the excellent data. Please try to make it a bit less theatrical.

Thanks! Wayne User:VaderSS 23:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

I assessed this article as Start class because it only has 1 reference, and only a handful of internal links. It could also use a photo or two. If she's a museum ship, it should be no problem for someone nearby to get some photos of her. I think the "B" rating from WP:minnesota is a bit generous for the article's current status.
