Connection

Do either of the two recent new editors, User:Bvrchamp and User:MVR96, have any connection with the topic of this article? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:32, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Martin

Yes Bvrchamp is Bobby Verdon-Roe and I am Martin Verdon-Roe his nephew.

The page seems to have removed all the work I just did on it. Can we reinstate it please?

Many thanks

Hello, many thanks for your swift reply. As per WP:COI, this page needs to declare that some editors have a close connection. The information recently added all looks highly plausible and well-presented, thanks. However, as per WP:V you need to provide some reliable sources. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:59, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am happy to put in sources when we can find them - some will be tricky as we have offline copies of old races etc.

Can we revert the changes back that we made and I will start putting sources and a reference of who we both are into the page?

Many thanks

I'd suggest you start off by adding a statement to this Talk page that you have a connection. You need to read and understand Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. And then Template:Edit COI. If you simply revert back what's been removed, with no sources, you're very likely to see it all removed again for the same reason, but with the added warning that you are "edit warring". Thanks.

Hi Martin,

Thank you. I have added "personal connections to this page" on the talk page.

I will try to revert the page back and load in sources.

If that fails I will try the Edit COI functionality but I am currently unsure how to use this for some of the more complicated entries - career summary, race results. Seems easy to do for paragraph / text changes.

Cheers

Hello,

I have added in 36 sources and will continue to add more as well as sort some of the results sections.

I hope that now better fits the Wiki rules.

Many thanks
