 * Thank you for your message.
 * I edited the article regarding the locomotive since I visited Locomotion today and saw it there.
 * It will be put on display when the new building opens towards the end of the year.
 * What more verification can I give? If you doubt the accuracy of my observation, contact Locomotion, Shildon yourself.
 * I feel inclined not to bother in future and will consider whether or not I continue to subscribe.

 * Wikipedia is built on verifiability, not accuracy. Saying “you saw something” is all well and good, but it’s not a verifiable source. Now if there was a page on the NRM’s website saying the locomotive is in Shildon, that would of course be a reliable source and would make the change valuable.

 * In the light of what you say, you are comfortable with Wikipedia displaying false information and suggesting that I am a liar.
 * I will cancel my subscription forthwith since I do not wish to be associated with an organisation which condones falsehoods. Mike O&#39;Connell (talk) 19:59, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
