Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Ifnord (talk) 19:28, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for this information. I am new to this so I appreciate your assistance. I did state when explaining this that I expected to have to robustly defend myself. People are passionate about poetry and poets, as am I. If some of it has to be changed thats life. May I ask who you are in relation to Wikipedia? Perhaps you could help me to contact the administrators of the site. I am interested in contributing in a wsy that could end up being financial.

I agree with the statement that I have no reliable sources to quote. As I explained I don't think I am the first person to thinl this or work it out. It would of course be impossible for those who disagree with what I have posited to site a reference proving Thomas Grey did not use D'Allegro to write his poem, its nearly impossible to prove a negative. Statistics on the other hand has proved to be invaluable in our understanding of the world. For example we now know that Thomas R Mathus b1766 and sometimes known as the father of genetics altered his biological experiments to support his (correct) ideas. Thomas Grey d1771 and Malthus were contemporists. Statistics aren't often used to demonstrate the likelihood of something because they only would state something is likey with a confidence level (95% is the minimum accepted), given I have stated I could prove at close to but not exactly 100% confidence level I am keen to debate my proposition with those who will be trying to prove a negative.
