Dear Kudpung.

Thanks for your message.

Can I work with you to improve this article? You seem well placed to do this.

Firstly though, I want to hold my hands up and say that some of the edits done under my username were inappropriate any many reflect a lack of experience editing Wikipedia. Basically, I accept that I haven't gone about editing this article in the best way, for which I apologise.

Regarding the COI: I declared this as soon as I became aware of the requirement to do so.

Regarding the 'stalemate' reached with another editor over this article: I have read - and done my best to fully understand the implications of - lots of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Nevertheless, some of my edits were amended very clumsily (thus creating further problems) while others were reverted for reasons I can only surmise as to. The overall result has been detrimental to the accuracy of the article and it is this that I stated I do not have time for, ie the feeling of pedaling hard to move backwards.

So, a collaborative approach seems like the obvious way forward. For my part, I have a lot of knowledge of the subject matter plus the use of material such as original photos which could improve the article. Moreover, although I have very limited time to do this, I cannot stand leaving a task unfinished!

With kind regards,
