  • Comment: @Gog the Mild: The source http://www.bargetrust.org/ which is used in the article is possibly not a reliable source, in particular per WP:SPS. I suggest consulting Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. I want to add that, though, sometimes materials meet inclusion policies, but we have to rely on relatively poorer sources since there's not any better source for some reason. --Z 17:05, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi ZxxZxxZ. Thanks for taking a look at this. The TBT link above was only there to cover the "carried cargo throughout the ... Second World War..." bit. This is briefly covered in National Historic Ships UK. "CENTAUR resumed trade around the Thames and East Anglia for the rest of the war". Hopefully this is sufficiently reliable. I have added a cite in the appropriate place in the article. So the hook is now referenced to RSs. Or is it a case that the use of this source elsewhere in the article makes it unsuitable for the front page? In which case a quick fail is probably in order.

  • Yes, I was refering to the article itself. Regards, Z 19:18, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi User:ZxxZxxZ. Fair point. I haven't done any substantial work on this since last September and I don't really have the time or motivation for that size of job. So I am going to withdraw the nomination. So far as I can see, the only way to do this is to attach . Gog the Mild (talk) 19:54, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
