Talk:Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr (Onze Jan)

1911 Britannica

If this article seems slightly unusual it's because most of the original text comes from the (public domain) 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica. I'm not sure where that leaves Wikipedia contributors in terms of editing the text. Personally I'd prefer to see an entirely new article built up from scratch, with references to older sources, rather than start with an old scholarly text and let it gradually be morphed into something else.

Agreed. If there is a volunteer.. JPF

Definitely it could use another source. Certainly if another source (preferably more than one) shows material to be inaccurate, that can be replaced, and there must be more issues to cover here, but it seems like a reasonable place to begin. As EB1911 articles go, it is fairly substantial. It certainly seems to be standing the test of time - five years and still only that one source. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 01:17, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
