personal essay, copyvio -- (☺drini♫|☎) 19:03, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it very likely that the contributor is the original author, in which case a removal of the copyright notice is all that is needed to avoid copyvio. No vote yet. DJ Clayworth 19:24, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It would need more than a removeal of a copyright notice -- it would need an explicit GFDL release, or a PD statement. But if the contributor is the author, those are perfectly possible. DES (talk) 20:08, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The main issue is original research -- (☺drini♫|☎) 20:06, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Whitby. Current article appears to be largely comprised of an original research paper on the etymology of the name.--Isotope23 19:23, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- As a new contributor (and the original author), I am not yet fully aware of all the Wikipedia conventions. I have removed the personal references and copyright notice (these were copied and pasted from a previous article). I hope this means the article can stay as it does bring together a number of accepted and important, little known pieces of information (sources supplied in text) --CW - U.T. 19:37, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
