(T301928) - When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)

- A arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been opened.

P&O Maritime Services
Hello Mike Peel , I hope you are well! I see you made a change on P&O Maritime Services last year. This company has now merged with another company and it is no more. I have a conflict of interest with the company so I wondered if you could help me update this article? I have added a change request on the article's Talk page. Many thanks in advance Occasionalpedestrian (talk) 13:14, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Occasionalpedestrian: Sorry, I don't have capacity to handle this at the moment, so I've added {{Request edit}} to bring this to others attention. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 07:28, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- No worries at all, thank you for your response and for adding {{Request edit}} Occasionalpedestrian (talk) 09:44, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
