St Neots History
I hope you don't mind this approach.

I have taken it on myself to try to improve the St Neots / Eynesbury / Eaton Socon pages. In doing so I find the History of St Neots article, the core of which was written by yourself some considerable time ago. I am sincere when I say that your work is well written and clear, but it has been tagged for lack of citations.

Much of the material you have written seems not to come from the obvious sources, and yet some of it seems unlikely to have simply come from your background knowledge withotu any reference book.

Can you help me to track down some sources for your text, please? Afterbrunel (talk) 07:38, 21 May 2021 (UTC)


 * As you will have seen, my edits go way, way back to a time before Wikipedia developed policies about references - it was a bit of a free-for-all in those days! Much of what I wrote was just from what I knew personally and I have no reference sources to offer you. I appreciate your efforts with the article though, thanks so much for the work you are doing. Probably best to regard anything I wrote as either hearsay or original research (ie jumping to my own conclusions - otherwise known as guessing). Chris Jefferies (talk) 15:43, 21 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh no! that's a shame. Of course, we've all been tempted to write some material that we know 100% is true but we can't reference it.
 * I am planning to transfer some historical material that appears in the ordinary St Neots page into the History of St Neots article; the idea being that there are two quite different audiences, for "Is there a cinema?" on the one hand, and "Who was this bloke Neot?" on the other.
 * Well, hats off to you for what you did in the past, and wish me luck now.
 * Kindest regards Afterbrunel (talk) 13:10, 22 May 2021 (UTC)


 * The article is looking far better than last time I checked so kudos to you for whatever part of that was your doing :-) And yes, hope it goes really well for you, grace and peace to you and have fun editing.
