If Harveywetdog did Wikipedia - 15 years as an equestrian videographer

In April 2020, and in the interest of legacy, I penned a Wikipedia entry recording the thoughts and notable achievements of myself as Harveywetdog. I admit I was ignorant of the rules concerning self promotion on Wikipedia at the time; consequently my entry was unfortunately, although arguably correctly, deleted and my account expunged from the system. As a result my original words and links were sadly lost but nevertheless here is an attempt at a rewrite. Perhaps when I'm gone someone will be able to enter it onto Wikipedia on my behalf, to serve as a fitting epitaph for the exciting times I spent on the Harveywetdog Project.

Is Bicton going ahead today? (Friday 23rd October)

How AI answered the question - 

The Bicton International Horse Trials are still running as planned today, despite severe weather across Devon from Storm Austen. [1, 2]

The worst of Storm Austen battered the region overnight and early this morning, bringing heavy rain and winds up to 80mph. While numerous tourist spots and zoos across Devon have closed their doors for the day, Bicton Arena has not issued any cancellation notice for Friday's schedule. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The Met Office's severe Amber wind warning for West Devon expired at 10:00 AM, but a broader Yellow weather warning for wind remains active until 2:00 PM across the entire county. [1]
What to Expect at the Venue Today
  • Improving Conditions: The heavy morning downpours are clearing up. The worst of the rain has passed, and the forecast shows a transition to dry, cloudy weather by midday, with sunny spells developing this afternoon. [1]
  • Persistent Winds: High winds remain the primary challenge. Even as the rain clears, gusts will hover around 25 to 31 mph into the late afternoon before slowly easing tonight. [1]
  • Travel Warning: Devon County Council has urged travelers to take extreme care. Because many trees are still in full leaf, there is a high risk of fallen branches and debris on local roads. A lane closure was already reported on the nearby A380 on Telegraph Hill due to a fallen tree. [1]
If you are traveling to the venue, please check for live route updates on Devon Alerts and monitor the timetable variations directly via Eventing Scores before setting off. [1, 2]
