Unsupported by the reference 1

[edit]

A paragraph and reference was added stating It made a very significant contribution to the development of both the British and Irish linen industries which led to the Irish linen industry dominating the world for much of the 19th and 20th centuries.[1] . The reference makes no such statement and I can't see where the reference can even be summarized in this way. I've reverted this as per WP:BRD and WP:OR based in part on the admin comment at WT:BISE. Perhaps the author could point out the supporting text for this paragraph. --HighKing (talk) 09:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The subsequent paragraph - Output figures for Great Britain increased from £3,000,000 in 1806 to £7,000,000 in 1856 most of the material going to Africa and the Americas in place of previously imported European produce. [2] has also been removed as per WP:SYN. --HighKing (talk) 09:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Isle of Mann & Channel Islands

Did this gentleman have an impact on those islands too? If not, British Isles wouldn't be appropiate. GoodDay (talk) 15:35, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
