William A. Webb
Officer in the USN and CSN. This had major problems and several editors have contributed to making it more readable. It still needed work, and I've rewritten lots, added more detail and images and added missing sources...Would like to see how it can be improved, and if it was okay that I took the cleanup tag off-plange 21:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Very nice article, with lots of fascinating detail. The major deficiency—and I suspect that this is fairly obvious—is that there's nothing on his life aside from his military record. At the very least, it should be possible to find (rough?) dates of birth and death for him. The "CSS Richmond" section also breaks off quite abruptly; I don't know whether this is because there is material that hasn't been added yet.

A more minor point is the "Trivia" section, whose contents should be worked into the article proper in some way. This might be easier once there's a paragraph or two about his life before and after the war.

Overall, though, this is excellent work. Kirill Lokshin 21:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! The CSS Richmond part I commented out until I could get it sourced as it had conflicting facts. I've done a Google search and can't find a DOB or death and couldn't find anything on what he did after, but I'll keep looking.-plange 21:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I've added more to the CSS Richmond part and addressed most of this, but still haven't found non-war stuff. Will keep looking. -plange 16:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
