River Thames

Hi

I am sorry I have been absent but under the weather for a long time. Sorry I failed to acknowledge properly your help -particularly now that I am fitter, back on the case and need your help again!!

Firstly,a confession.

I have demonstrated poor editing skills on first use recently falling into a basic trap however innocently but with which I agree .

But,I feel that Wikipedia publishes a poor representation of the River Thames. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Thames due to

error, ommission and inclusion of irrelevant and doubtful content.

The Thames has long been regarded as London's -and the the South East's premier asset,yet the opening paragragraphs do not convey that and have been adulterated /hijacked by content with external links of doubtful or no relevance

eg This early departure from the main subject.

"In non-administrative use, stemming directly from the feature are Thames Valley University, Thames Water, Thames Television productions, Thames & Hudson publishing and the Thameslink (north-south railways passing through central London). Historic entities include the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company".

The Tidal Thames (That which flows from the Thames Estuary... and not the North Sea) through all of London to Teddington, reveals the best views of London's cultural heritage including St Paul's, Tate Modern,Big Ben etc. They are not mentioned .Neither the true amount and value of transportation for trade and tourism.I am not sure if the role of the MCA is omitted or concealed, by that of others referred. 2 The Upper Thames -that starts from Teddington through to the Head of the River is also poorly described in this article with numerous omissions concerning the role of the Thames as a recreational, cultural resource.

Recommendation I feel in short the whole article-yes all of it need careful scrutiny as these omissions and errors are of major impact on those studying the subject or wanting a fair represenation of what it has to offer.I believe it is serious enough to warrant a re-write in substantial areas to retrieve a sense of balance and convey an understandable direction to this lengthy article. 1stcanalman (talk) 12:25, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

I write as a long standing Thames champion who published his own humble efforts warts and all entirely supported by long suffering staff, since 1999. 1stcanalman (talk) 12:25, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Re the entry on Mike Pompeo, please do not make blanket deletions of all material, especially that which is non-objectionably sourced. The claim that YouTube is not a reliable source would only be the case the individual in question was not himself the primary source. Pompeo archived his speeches and television speeches on his own YouTube channel from which I drew much of the material that was apparently deleted yesterday, even material that had extensive other sources to support it. I saved the original and re-inserted. I understand your concern about ThinkProgress as a source, but my most common source of information for this web page was Mike Pompeo's website, the Congressional record (although the text I researched yesterday has disappeared), and Mike Pompeo's words as captured on video. I will try to reconstruct the material I created yesterday. Please do not remove it unless it violates a Wikipedia policy against a living person. In addition, although you state that you are on the prowl for grammatical errors, your page announcing this has several (including using "that" instead of "who", etc.). Cheers.
