Welcome! edit
Welcome to Wikipedia, Cut 2 The Point! Thank you for your contributions. I am Doug Weller and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Doug Weller talk 13:11, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Miscellaneous edit
Hi - I see you posted to me last year - sorry, I am so busy at times I miss posts and then they are archived. In an edit summary you say "The spliced together quotation in the write-up is terribly flawed. You spliced together two thoughts that Godfrey had in two different paragraphs. You didn't check Godfrey's original sourcing, so you accepted his inaccurate account." I'm not sure what spliced together quotation you mean. If it was "On the other hand, there is very little probability that Benedict built his Tower as a mill...the tower mill form, as contrasted to the smock, post and composite forms, was not common in England until the beginning of the 18th century,...." that was added by an IP in 2007. I'm not at all sure who you meant by "you spliced together". Doug Weller talk 13:14, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Please use the talk page now and stop reverting edit
You're new and don't know what is and what isn't acceptable. If something is disputed, we can't state it as fact, and even Williams apology is only his opinion. I think it's quite possible Ohman found it rather than salted it, but there's no hard evidence that will allow Wikipedia to state it as fact. Please don't reply here, use the article's talk page. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 12:21, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- Just look at the top of the article page. Not the very top right, those links are relevant to you. Reading from left to right there's a tab for the article and next to it a tab that says "talk". Further on to the right are other tabs. It's normally better to communicate with other editors on their talk pages, eg click on 'talk' in my signature. At the top of my talk page you should see a link on the righthand side between "edit" and "view history". Mine's a + sign but that's due to the way I set my preferences. Anyway, if you can see that it should start a new conversation on the bottom of the page. Remember to sign with 4 tildes, eg ~~~~ I prefer to keep most discussions public but sometimes there are good reasons for email. We all have user pages also which we use for various things, often details about ourselves, links to useful Wikipedia pages, etc. Mine has a lot of stuff!
