Either the ship was called Cheeta II or Cheeta 2. Correct me if my choice was wrong and external sources can distinguish. 83.85.143.141 (talk) 13:44, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As some self-named smart guy simply reverted my edit, here is my explanation for my decision. The article at the Mi Amigo section cites the Cheeta ship twice in a different nomination:
Attempts by the tug Titan to refloat her were unsuccessful. On 21 January, the captain of Mi Amigo managed to refloat her by kedging. The hull was inspected before Mi Amigo departed for Zaandam, Netherlands with Titan in attendance. Repairs were carried out by the Zaanlandse Scheepsbouw Maatschappij. During this period, Radio Caroline South was broadcast from Cheeta 2, which was available for sale as Radio Syd had been closed down by the Swedish authorities. Repairs were completed on 5 April and Mi Amigo resumed broadcasting on 16 April. The next day, Radio Caroline was off the air as there had been a short circuit in the aerial. There was a gale at the time which prevented the tender from bringing engineers to Mi Amigo. The bored DJs, including Tony Blackburn, Tony Prince and Norman St. John managed to fix the fault themselves and the station was soon back on air. Cheeta II served as a relay station between 27 April and 1 May 1966.
As the sources are not precise, Veronica cannot be regarded as a trusted source, the ship's registration should be checked itself. That'll take some time and insights, contrasting to simply reverting, KoshVorlon. 83.85.143.141 (talk) 14:04, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted you because your source isn't reliable. Yes, it says the DJ's were bored, however, because wikipedia requires a reliable source, and one wasn't supplied, your addition of the word "bored" was removed. In theory, the entire paragraph should be, but I realize that would cause even more problems, so I left it at that one word. in short, if you want to include someting , the onus is on you to supply a reliable source for it, not for me to find it for you.

You should check the history section of articles before writing accusations. I wasn't the one writing bored as I am just one of those Wikipedians avoiding typifications of any manner. About lacking sources, Wikipedia knows {{citation needed}} and {{sources}}-templates to demand background information, which you didn't add, as your boldness is simply laziness. Actually I am too close = befriended to many offshore radio DJs to provide sources which wouldn't be entitled as original investigations. Simply said: I should hire a ghost writer to publish a book from which I may cite myself. I am surviving many of those DJs actually.
I changed Cheeta II to Cheeta 2 as I remember watching a 2 on the vessel itself. But I may have wrong memories, who knows. 83.85.143.141 (talk) 23:40, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
