I have put some comments onto the talk page of John Dove which you might like to take a look at and respond.-- PBS (talk) 14:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I also have interests in Wiltshire history.
 * I have myself found many terrible mistakes in the ODNB. Vernon Bogdanor has called it (among other things) "thoroughly slipshod", while Nikolai Tolstoy has said of Bogdanor's comments that they are "overly mild".
 * There isn't a problem with a source which isn't available online, let alone one which is available to most users of UK public libraries.
 * If we need to recycle the same footnote, we can do it by using (the first time)  , and then after that  . That displays the same superscript number in the text, all going down to the same footnote.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
