Talk:Grahame Farr

Missing information
In researching this article, I was unable to find out how Grahame Farr earned his living or who (if anyone) employed him. I think its unlikely he had private means, given his background. Topo122 (talk) 16:45, 5 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I found the answer to to how Farr earned his living in his obituary in The Mariner's Mirror: he worked for a printing firm in Bristol. The obituary has allowed me to add a few details to the article.Topo122 (talk) 18:37, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

(I've rearranged the content of this section, and given it a title, as I now better understand how Talk pages are supposed to work! - Topo122 (talk) 18:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC))

Notability of Grahame Farr
Grahame Farr wrote many authoritative works on the history of ships and shipping. Perhaps the best evidence of Farr's notability is the very large number of times his works are reference in Wikipedia articles - too many times for me to count.

(I think a 'Statement of Notability', setting our why the subject of an article is notable, would be a useful section to add to all Talk pages). Topo122 (talk) 11:16, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
