Talk:Newton upon Derwent

Possible copyvio or original research
In April 1912 a swathe of "History" text was added that had as its source 'Newton on Derwent Local History Society' - no author - no publication. I can't find any extant mention of this society or any of its publications. At best this history text appears original research, at worst, copyvio. The editor who added the text only added to this page, and to Peter Venables where the text was removed as unsourced. It seems to me that the 'Newton on Derwent Local History Society' as a source is not inadequate enough for this text to remain. Acabashi (talk) 16:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)


 * agreed about it being a copyright violation. For the record, the original paper is by Peter Venables ("There is a fascinating document about the History of the Village on the Community page." .) Not sure what the next step is for removing it; I can see it's been flagged for a few years, is there another step that needs to be done to signal an admin should purge past histories to erase said violations?

 * Based on the username, I believe actually is Peter Venables and lived in this village. Unfortunately, Venables died in 2017, and thus cannot affirm that he gives copyright permission under a Wikipedia-compatible license or point out what sources were used in the creation of that interesting article. So, I'm deleting the affected sections, which other editors will have to re-create from other sources or paraphrasing. No doubt this paper will be helpful in getting things started. -- Beland (talk) 19:32, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
