Does he meet WP:PROF or WP:GNG? Boleyn (talk) 15:33, 23 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your review of the page Dominic Tweddle @Boleyn:. I've added categories and removed the request for inline citations; I'm not sure why the latter was there, since inline citation were already used throughout. Regarding notability, I think he meets the WP:PROF guidelines in three ways:

1) Research with a significant impact: He is the main person responsible for the research on the Coppergate helmet, and in doing so published the most comprehensive typology of Anglo-Saxon and Viking helmets (Tweddle 1992)

2) Prestigious scholarly society: He's a fellow of both the Society of Antiquaries of London and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland

3) Appointed post: He's the Director General of the National Museum of the Royal Navy

I've expanded coverage of the first in the article. Please let me know if that addresses all the issues! Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 16:24, 23 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me, Usernameunique. I'll remove the notability tag. My only remaining concern is the 'Bibliography' section - is it suggested further reading or sources that should be inlnie? Thanks again for your hard work on this, Boleyn (talk) 18:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks again for your work and input, Boleyn. I'm not sure what exactly the difference is between 'Bibliography' and 'Further reading' sections; to bridge the difference I've added citations to ensure that each source supports a particular part of the page. Hope that works! Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 00:47, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
