Uncited/poorly cited content removed from article

I've just removed some content that has been uncited since 2011, or was cited to sources that were unreliable or did not clearly support the claims made. The diff of my edits is here. The claims (all post-1991 decommissioning and sale) made are:

Curlew was to be a salvage mothership, but one of the engines was unservicable
Curlew was used for the films Paradise Road and The Thin Red Line.
Several mishaps and groundings
Onsold to a new owner
As of 2014, berthed at North West Bay, Tasmania

All of the claims appear (in more detail) on this self-published website (with the partial exception of the last, which gives an as-of-2011 for the berthing). An IP user attempted to cite the final claim to this Google Maps url, but I have moved it here because there's nothing clearly identifying any of the vessels in the image as Curlew, and satellite images are prone to updating without warning anyway. -- saberwyn 10:51, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
