Blanked Page
Hi Laytonr1, We appreciate your contributions to the Wiki.

As a member of the Wiki Support Team the "Historical Map" page has been reviewed. It was noted that the page was blanked with no explanation. Best practice is to redirect pages that are duplicates, misspelled or titled wrong. Please review theRedirects page and the Editing page.

Again we do appreciate your contributions and hope you will continue to contribute.

County of Nottingham vs Nottinghamshire
Hi Laytonr1,

I see that you have started a page called Nottingham parishes. From the information that you have included I believe you are recreating something that already exists in the wiki namely Nottinghamshire Parishes. It is true that Nottinghamshire is some times referred to as the County of Nottingham, but the common term is Nottinghamshire and this has been adopted by the wiki. References to Nottingham without "County of" will be taken to mean the city of Nottingham. --Steve 08:40, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
