More MaritimeMatters website news.
Wikipedia now has a MaritimeMatters entry (not written by us!). The entry is here wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_Matters
In September, Google News announced the inclusion of MaritimeMatters in their news stream. We are very happy to know our news and features will receive wider distribution — Thank you Google!
MaritimeMatters’ contributing editor and roving cruise ship journalist, Peter Knego has begun his own Twitter feed. Please follow him click twitter.com/PKnego
MaritimeMatters’ Martin Cox has begun a feed for MM where all new content added to the site can be tweeted from. To follow MaritimeMatters on twitter, click twitter.com/Maritimematterz, (Shame about the “z” at the end but someone snatched our name).
A reminder about the New York Times article on Peter Knego’s MidShipCentury endeavor called “On a Mission to Save Cruise Ship Décor” by Fred Bernstein in the Home & Garden section.
Lastly, Martin Cox added his Fine Art Photography website and blog (to the featured links section), which includes a maritime gallery showing some of his black & white prints. Click on www.martincox.com.. Thanks for visiting. – Martin

Thanks Matt: Much appreciated. I did notice that Wiki is asking for secondary sources, I am not well versed in those requirements. Any idea what to provide to prevent the entries removal? cheers – Martin

Hey Martin. Administrators on wiki can be tough. There is not much to worry about. The article for the SS Rotterdam has had a “provide references” tag for a year now. It is possible it could be improved. Sometime in the future I could check back with you on meeting the tags’ guidelines. “citations” and references are links that provide where one gets info put on wiki from.
