Talk:Ecton Mines

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... this is all new text. It does not infringe anybody's copyright (Stephen Henley - website manager for Ecton Mine Educational Trust) --Silicondale (talk) 09:53, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

I have now added a copyleft declaration to the EMET website to remove any doubt if there is duplication of parts of the text. - S. Henley Silicondale (talk) 10:01, 30 August 2015 (UTC)


 * The copyleft notice is satisfactory, so I've removed the deletion notice. Please note, however, that the article should be reorganized and brought into better compliance with Wikipedia guidelines, including adding independent sources, wikilinks and sections. The lead paragraph should summarize the body of the text.  Acroterion   (talk)   12:19, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

I think I've fixed most of the issues. I could add many more sources, but I don't hink they would be considered any more independent than those already cited. Not sure what to do about this! It's a specialist topic, so research tends to be published by only a limited number of workers and in a narrow range of publications. Silicondale (talk) 13:37, 30 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It looks fine, I've worked with the categories a little bit and have added the external link. Do you think you could add a couple of pictures (appropriately licensed, of course)?   Acroterion   (talk)   18:44, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Many thanks agan, Acroterion. I was certainly intending to add a couple of pictures - perhaps one surface, one underground, and also possibly a map. Not sure what procedure to get permission to use google maps for this, so that may be a later addition. As I said above, can also add quite a large number of additional sources - other publications - not directly referenced in the text. Silicondale (talk) 07:43, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
