Possible copyvio[edit]

The History section has a possible copyvio notice. Unfortunately the webpage referred to does not appear to exist. There doesn't appear to be a way of checking this claim now so should the warning tag be removed? Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:56, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

https://web.archive.org/web/20180302103817/http://www.simulations.co.uk/Colmans%20Wharf%20History.htm has a copy of it. As I noted only vaguely in an earlier edit summary I think there are some transcription errors here, when that web page quotes a newspaper story (The impression of inscrutability conveyed by the gaunt impressive is cancelled out by the feverish activity inside).

Thanks for digging that out, I'll have a look at the article again.

The second bit is missing the word exterior Murgatroyd49 (talk) 17:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is that missing word verified from the original East London News article? I couldn't find a copy online. Belbury (talk) 17:41, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I haven't put it in, it's obvious from context but not verifiable. The whole history section is very clunky and needs a rewrite. I'll declare an interest, one of my great-grandfathers was the general manager around the time of WW1. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 18:00, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
