Ring Spinning sources
Hi Clem;

I noted that a couple of paragraphs were not properly sourced in the Ring spinning article. When I put a citation needed tag on them, I see that you responded by tagging them with citations already made in other sections. However, this seems to me to only compound the error for several reasons:
 * The citations now added are from the page numbers as those other references. Is it true? It seems awfully coincidental. Also, "Not a success." doesn't seem up to encyclopedic standards, but I figured that whoever fixed the citation might also fix that.
 * One of the references (Williams and Farney 1992) is not properly referenced. At no point in the article or references section is there a complete description of the book.
 * The book referred to in the booknotes as Marsden 1885 is probably the same one in the references that is cited as Marsden 1884 (note the year difference), but the link actually goes to a book printed in 1903. This appears to be a reprint, so perhaps there are no differences, and I'm not entirely sure of the citation etiquette here, but for the sake of consistency, it seems like maybe these should all be the same?

I would fix some of these problems myself, but I'm not interested in getting into an edit war with someone who has obviously put in lots of work on the Cotton Mill page and obviously has some vested interest here (and perhaps owns these references and knows for a fact that the statements are supported on those pages).

Orphaned non-free image File:Magnet Mill, Chadderton 0015.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Magnet Mill, Chadderton 0015.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This file has been orphaned because it was removed from List of mills in Chadderton in accordance with WP:NFLISTS and prior similar discussion related to List of mills owned by the Lancashire Cotton Corporation Limited. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
