The writing on this page is awkward, almost certainly the work of some descendant not otherwise skilled in writing. There are a number of repeated phrases and unsubstantiated claims. ManlyMatt ( talk) 12:21, 12 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Hello ManlyMatt, Thank you for reviewing the Thomas F. McManus page. I wrote the article and I am not a descendant. I am just a WP editor that is interested in ship designers, builders, and pilot boats. I might not be the best writer, but try to support my articles with primary and secondary source citations, editing, and proofreading. I have updated the article to the best of my ability, but if you have specific insights or ways to improve the article, it would be greatly appreciated. -- Greg Henderson ( talk) 17:47, 12 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Didn't mean to snipe, you certainly did the work, and it's a good article overall ... I will re-read and see if so can offer some specific suggestions. ManlyMatt ( talk) 18:18, 12 January 2021 (UTC) reply
