  Hello, Sdesmondnz. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page BR Standard Class 5 73082 Camelot, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);

Hello Redrose64. Thank you for your explanation re Conflict of Interest. Here is my reply to your post re the 73082 Camelot Wikipedia article.

There are three areas of concern around the article, that could be usefully addressed to improve it. Here they are, together with remedies that could be actioned by someone with no association with the 73082 Camelot Locomotive Society.

1. Issue: The opening paragraph is not a summary of the content, but is a history of the locomotive up to 1959. Remedy: Move the paragraph into the main text and draft a new introduction.

2. Issue: The article needs additional citations. Remedy: Find and document them from the References, Further Reading and External Links.

3. Issue: The information content in the article is sparse. Remedy: Further research in the References etc.

The References etc include the Society's own publications. These may not be acceptable sources.

I hope these suggestions are useful.

This is the sort of thing that the article's talk page - Talk:BR Standard Class 5 73082 Camelot - is provided for. More at WP:TALK. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:21, 30 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
