Recent edits and revert
[edit]There may well be some useful info in this series of recent edits but the contributor was misguided in their approach. I've left a note on their talk page and will try to work through it all. - Sitush (talk) 15:37, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- As an example, the first bit that really matters is
The foundation of Bolton's Unitarian congregation has its origins in a period of strong anti-Puritanism, during which Bolton was singled out as the Geneva of the North
. Obviously, the external link would need to be changed to a citation but, as far as I can see, it doesn't work anyway. And even if it did, I don't see how a map is likely to support the claim that (a) it was a period of "strong anti-Puritanism"; (b) that "Bolton was singled out"; and (c) it also gained the sobriquet "Geneva of the North". And that assumes the website is even reliable, which ain't necessarily so as it appears to be a self-published source and I have no idea who its creator (David Plant) may be. - Sitush (talk) 15:40, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- There is a chapter in the Malcolm Hardman book (which we already use as a source) titled "Athens of the North". Starts around p. 179 and I suspect this may contain whatever it is that the website is actually saying, even though it is Athens and not Geneva. - Sitush (talk) 16:28, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, found it. Around p. 166 of Hardman there is a discussion of the Geneva point. I'll try to find some time to read it properly. - Sitush (talk) 17:31, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
Two official websites?
[edit]I see Oneitarian has just changed the official website link to this. I don't understand why there are two official websites, nor do I like the idea of announcing that they are updating the article, as is said on the first of those.
Please read WP:COI and WP:MEAT, just in case, and please explain here what is going on with having two sites. - Sitush (talk) 15:54, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, apparently they cannot access the original website, so have started another. The original one still shows up way above the new one in Google searches, so presumably this is a fairly recent event but, hey, Google does some weird stuff. I think the explanation is plausible and will reinstate the edit.
- It would be better if proposed changes were made on this page in future because there is an obvious conflict of interest and an understandable confusion regarding how Wikipedia works. - Sitush (talk) 18:02, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
