NPOV? This page seems to be almost an advertisement for Bath Iron Works. Could someone take a look at it? I don't know anything about shipyards, but this page needs work.--V. Joe 00:03, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
What do you expect, a criticism section? I think we would be hard pressed to find someone who knows about the Bath that doesnt work there or for the Navy. I think it's fine. --72.177.29.129 21:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree that it's probably tough to find an "authority" on BIW (I've not seen the term "the Bath" before?) to write up the article. But the Man from Mars has a point: this article has three paragraphs of content and an irrelevant quotation (which I'm actually about to strip unless I find a citation for it,) and of those three paragraphs there's only two sentences of history, two or three of opinion (where does BIW stand, in fact, among private employers in Maine?) and a paragraph and a half on a single (if singular) job, the Roberts overhaul.
What's missing? Maybe a few more graphs on history, citing Bath's shipbuilding history (the multiple yards on the river,) the evolution of BIW from Hyde Windlass, its start on Navy ships and how that business grew to squeeze out all other work, perhaps links to the (many) different classes of ships produced there (I know there's extensive destroyer class information already in Wikipedia, maybe there's someone who could help with links,) and a thumbnail description of the transition from slip-ways construction to the new(ish) land-level facility.
Am I the only Wikipedian with both Snow and Sanders (see the "Further Reading" section) on my bookshelf? - Pjmorse 01:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
This page is definitely POV. And why no mention of when the "borrowed" confidential navy documents?IsaactheNPOVfanatic 13:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
