thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have expanded this article significantly from the stub over the last few days and added numerous sources.
At this time, the following work still needs attention:
====Published Commentary/Analysis/Synthesis from Expert Sources====
The following topics would be much stronger with secondary source perspectives + evaluations, preferably books:
1. Senate/British inquiries 
* whether Cottam/Bride withheld information or knowingly sent false information during the journey back for the purpose of selling their exclusive stories to the New York Times
* whether they were actually too busy sending passenger lists and passenger messages to respond to journalists
* whether Rostron had actually ordered them not to respond to reporters
* what actually happened to Ismay's telegram
2. Why Dean may have hesitated in responding to Titanics first CQD
* brief discussion of CQD vs. SOS
*Titanic as "unsinkable"
====Need Secondary Sources====
Facts in question - conflicting sources on times & days of messages (partially due to difference's in ships' time)
* When did Bride come to help Cottam? Their testimonies conflict, as well as other sources  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:C045:4390:D0D4:77E8:2B65:A4BA (talk) 04:10, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Need Secondary Sources

message: Several suitable photos exist online; it is a matter of finding one that is permissible to use and writing the fair use rationale for it.
1. Better profile picture. Either a better quality copy of this picture or a better picture from circa the same period.
2. Picture of Cottam's blue plaque in Lowdham.
3. Other pictures of Cottam, from early or later in life. Specifically, there are a few pictures of him at the British telegraphy school or using a telegraph in other circumstances. It is unknown whether any of these is available to use.

message: In May, this article was nominated to be recognised as a Good Article.  Unfortunately, the nominator now seems to be retired.  If anyone interested in the topic wants to adopt the article and shepherd it through the review process, please make a note on the review page.  If there is no interest by the afternoon (British Summer Time) of Saturday 31 August, I will procedurally close the review. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 14:10, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
