User entry

Hello,

I'm trying to update an article about Challenger 1 MBT that contains incorrect information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Challenger_1&action=history

My edits are being undone by 213.61.254.68:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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)

@Hy2kt82 That IP is not ClueBot, ClueBot only edits using its Wikipedia user, that IP however has been warned by ClueBot. Nothing I can do to help - RichT|C|E-Mail 11:36, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. Have a good weekend. Mick. Hy2kt82 (talk) 11:49, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
