February 2015 edit

This articles was copied from Buckinghamshire: A history of Aylesbury with its borough and hundreds, the hamlet of Walton, and the electoral division, Volume 1' by Robert Gibbs, pp.18 and following, supplemented with material copied from the church website. Although the material in the book is in the public domain (published in 1885(, the website is not. This is not acceptable. For the material copied from the public domain source, exact citation of that source must be given, and exact quotation marks used for the portions copied.

The material copied from the website must be rewritten. It might be possible to get a donation of the material under a free license, according to the exact requirements at WP:DCM, but this is not recommended, as much of it is not suitable for an encyclopedia. It would be better to rewrite.

An encyclopedia article contains material of interest to general readers, not specific changeable material such as the times of services,of interest only to prospective church-goers and visitors. DGG ( talk ) 20:36, 3 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Is it possible that they may have copied it from here, as is the case often. Uamaol (talk) 01:46, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bishop of Aylesbury/ Aylesbury Cathedral edit

I keep finding references which say that there was a Bishop of Aylesbury and that the church is a cathedral.
