On the contrary Pam, I changed the (Stone) text enough to differentiate it, OK that's my opinion, what more could be done to transform it? I'm diffident about this (as it happens), Stone proclaims his view as fact, but I don't see immediate sources for it, whereas the alternative story of the ship's fate is heavily documented from multiple sources. So I think Stone is likely wrong, and we could ignore it's inclusion. I only included it because it was there! I would point out that the material on the source page in question is CC by 3.0 AU (a compatible licence); is that not enough to pass muster? Can it now be re-entered? Should it be? Interested in your thoughts? Another issue is that I included the date in the "Article title name", Newcastle is a common name in shipping (and a confusing search term on the net) and I thought it required further differentiation; were it not for the photo and the lithograph, it would have been impossible to link three separately given launch dates (on the net) as being in fact the same vessel.
