Comment

Some unasked for advice, worth every cent you paid for it. Creating a WP-article that "sticks" can be very hard, especially without any prior experience in, just, editing WP. Still, it can be done, if.

Now, I have not tried to check your sources to see if the topic meets the demands at WP:BASIC, but presumably you have. If WP:BASIC can't be met, you have wasted your time. If the draft is accepted, anything that doesn't fit the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy will be removed sooner or later, for example names of wife and children, unless there are good (per WP:RS) references that mention them.

Assuming your references are good enough, your next hurdle is inline citations. You have to get the refs into the body of the text at the right places. WP:TUTORIAL and Help:Referencing for beginners can be of help. Happy editing! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:51, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Question

WP:Conflict of interest, a WP-guideline, strongly discourages "contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships." Do you fall in that category? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:36, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Apologies for late reply. I'm feeling my way around the WP user infrastructure. In answer to your query: I'm totally unrelated to naval architect Peter van Oossanen, the topic of my article submission to WP. I don't work for him. I know him through work (I'm a yachting media journalist) and have reported on his achievements. "~~~~" 2021DutchSailor (talk) 09:40, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Good enough and no apologies necessary. Your draft is now at Draft:Peter van Oossanen, if that was unclear. WP:SELFCITE could be worth a look. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:06, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
