St Neots History
I hope you don't mind this approach.
I have taken it on myself to try to improve the St Neots / Eynesbury / Eaton Socon pages. In doing so I find the History of St Neots article, the core of which was written by yourself some considerable time ago. I am sincere when I say that your work is well written and clear, but it has been tagged for lack of citations.
Much of the material you have written seems not to come from the obvious sources, and yet some of it seems unlikely to have simply come from your background knowledge withotu any reference book.
Can you help me to track down some sources for your text, please? Afterbrunel (talk) 07:38, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- As you will have seen, my edits go way, way back to a time before Wikipedia developed policies about references - it was a bit of a free-for-all in those days! Much of what I wrote was just from what I knew personally and I have no reference sources to offer you. I appreciate your efforts with the article though, thanks so much for the work you are doing. Probably best to regard anything I wrote as either hearsay or original research (ie jumping to my own conclusions - otherwise known as guessing). Chris Jefferies (talk) 15:43, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
