Talk:Robin Morton (cycling)

Robin Morton (cycling) - an editor has suggested that information contained is not fully supported and may be an issue because of my relationship to the subject. It has been

I need to get some constructive feedback on how to get the COI maintenance template removed from this article. This is article has been in place since 2007 with most edits by me. But, on Wiki Checks you will see that 47 other people/editors had weighed in over time.

Additionally, there is the suggestion that inline references should be used. I admit that I have never heard the term before but I think I can make links to the various references that appear at the bottom of the article to support most of the sections in Robin's career.

I also can link to the video created for Robin's induction into the U.S.A. Cycling Hall of Fame in 2016. They did their own research and verification of facts and created the video. I think this goes a long way to maintaining a neutral position regarding the content as does the link to New York Time, books, interviews, podcasts, etc. Especially the article where Robin was recognized as one of the five most influential women in cycling.

I also feel compelled to mention that one would only need to read the information contained in the article to see that there really is nothing that suggests a bias in the recounting of her career.

Thanks in advance.

This is part of the email from an editor with his recommendation - The recommendation, per my previous email, is to make an "edit request" that will be added to the talk page of the article so that independent editors can evaluate the request and add what they feel is appropriate per the source you provide which may well be everything you ask for.

Hi, @Glennmorton: - your request(s) are unclear. Please do not type comments in section headings. You can make comments AFTER the text in the editor that says {{Request Edit}}. I recommend using the edit source mode to see clearly. I have closed your tags for now as your request is not clear.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 22:33, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

I am not requesting any changes. I made the request on the Talk page at the suggestion of one of the volunteers after a template was place on the page.

After I responded to the initial template it was changed to something less negative but still suggesting that there might be problems with the article because it relies heavily on my input that is supported by independent third party sources that are included in the article. They include the New York Time, The U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, books, magazine articles, etc. and they cover Robin's well-documented time in professional cycling since 1983.

I am asking that someone look at this to determine what needs to happen (if anything) to have the current template removed since it makes an unsupported claim about the factual correctness of the information contained in the article. Robin is still active in the industry and people would naturally look for information before choosing to do business with anybody and this template creates unnecessary questions.

The article has been in Wiki since 2007 and has had 47 other editors who looked at it made suggestions and changes with the need to append a template.

I appreciate any assistance towards that goal.
