Herefordshire gazetteer entries have been edited to remove copyright material from British History online which claims copyright on gazettteer text which you have been adding; hte image captions removed have been reinstated also. If you wish to use a gazetteer entry as a secondary source within a parish history you can cite the link to British History Online. The Herefordshire pages are in an early preparation during September-December with a group of contributors undertaking assignments. Thank you for helping, contributors for Herefordshire have chosen rather than to use gazetteer entries to form content in common with several other county contributors.

In view of the large number of British History Online edits you have made would it be possible for you to rework those to remove the copyright material? I have reworked some of the pages but do not have time to do all of them; some pages like Cromwell, Nottinghamshire require more than one image caption to be restored and the gazetteer entry is possibly unnecessary in view of the existing content Royalsarah

I've noticed that you are adding a British History Online gazetteer to Nottinghamshire pages which is a site which claims copyright. You are also editing the page and inadvertently removing image captions which need to be restored. To edit where an image is already embeded in the page use the paragraph edit which will not disturb the embedded image. Moderators will remove copyright material but you can add links to the British History online site see Bingham, Nottinghamshire and other pages as examples. Hucknall

You may notice that a team of local contributors are building parish history content after recent completion of a basic layer of information for the county. We do not feel that the gazetteer information is necessarily helpful to the detailed parish history which is being added slowly; you will see an example of the Southwell and Nottingham Church History project link on the page quoted and we will gradually extend to cover all parishes with this information. Since contributors are at present on holiday this work will be progressing for several months in order to build each page content. We would of course be able to detect and edit links to any copyright material but you may not be aware of the copyright displayed at British History online which can be linked to the wiki page if you feel that the entry has value in addition to the planned content. Thank you for your assistance on the Nottinghamshire content.
