RichBot's task "Checking drafts for Copyvios" failed to run per the configuration specified at
Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 day, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the
task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify=
parameter from the {{/task}}
template. Thanks! –

Hello,
I'm trying to update an article about Challenger 1 MBT that contains incorrect information:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Challenger_1&action=history
My edits are being undone by 213.61.254.68:
/info/en/?search=User_talk:213.61.254.68 which i believe may be ClueBot.
Line 80 of the article refers to me whilst i was serving in the Gulf War and references a book by Simon Dunstan which contains incorrect information. I have added information to the Talk page of the site with the correction as below;
"The information in the article and its reference by the Simon Dunstan book are incorrect. I was the gunner on 11B who engaged the target at approx 5100m with a L26A1 APFSDS. The incident was related to Brig P Cordingley at the time by the CO of SCOTS DG (the Commander of the vehicle) and the Brigadier referenced it in a report by Soldier Magazine, a British Army publication, issue 01 April 1991, Vol 47/7, page 11, Reporter Laurie Manton. M Smith."
Can you assist please in preventing ClueBot from undoing my edit, or advise who may be able to help. I am keen for the article to provide correct information.
Kind regards,
Mick Smith. Hy2kt82 ( talk) 10:55, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
