Combine Harvester?

I've just had a listen to the preview of "I want to be an Eddie Stobart driver" on iTunes, and it doesn't sound anything like Combine Harvester. I'm going to remove that bit; let me know if you object. PeteVerdon 07:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Pending changes

This article is one of a number selected for the early stage of the trial of the Wikipedia:Pending Changes system on the English language Wikipedia. All the articles listed at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Queue are being considered for level 1 pending changes protection.

The following request appears on that page:

Many of the articles were selected semi-automatically from a list of indefinitely semi-protected articles.
Please confirm that the protection level appears to be still warranted, and consider unprotecting instead, before applying pending changes protection to the article.

Comments on the suitability of theis page for "Pending changes" would be appreciated.

Please update the Queue page as appropriate.

Note that I am not involved in this project any much more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially

Poor article

This is not well written. It adds too much opinion and not enough clear NPOV facts. Mr Stobart must have worked hard to build up his company but that is a viewpoint not a referenced fact? Furthermore there is a propensity to over elaborate on some things but not on others. For instance, the growth of the company could be either condensed to a simple "grew from an agricultural business" or it should be more clinical about the growth i.e. expansion = turnover. That is what is encyclopedic, not a homely narrative about dear old hard-working Steady Eddy and his "quaint" ways.

Death of Edward Stobart

Edward 'Eddie' Stobart died this afternoon at the age of 56 at a hospital in Coventry. Perhaps, this should be added to this article as there is no seperate article concerning Stobart and his father? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.217.240.27 (talk) 16:43, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Driver rules

I'm surprised that the article fails to mention the strict dress code, which was notable enough to be mentioned in the BBC obituary for Stobart. (Drivers were, allegedly, expected to wear a shirt and tie even when changing a wheel in sweltering weather.) Could somebody with hard knowledge expand on this?
