The entry in Wine from the United Kingdom about John Edginton is totally unreferenced and should either be referenced or deleted. The reference used prior to my edit was taken from another paragraph from the article and did not mention any of the information from this user's edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebuild (talk • contribs) 20:47, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry Firebird I do not understand what you mean. John Edginton is as far as my research has found, the first person who commercially planted wine grapes in the UK. This is supported by Lackham College where John Edginton is shortly to visit to be given a commemorative plaque. The next oldest i found was in 1956 by a Mr. Guy Salisbury way before the previous persons noted in this article (1960) who themselves were not referenced in anyway.

I also need to correct you on the monastic reference. it does not directly relate to the monasteries or the dissolution thereof. rather it refers to a period in time (>C.1900) when wine was no longer commercially sold in volume by monasteries or other religious communes. The phrase Monastic and post monastic are used all over the wine industry so I am not sure why you have picked on something that is in everyday parlance.

I'm not denying the veracity of your entry, but Wiki entries must be referenced. That is the rule. If you are researching this man and want to add him to the UK wine section, there must be references that are available for review by readers. It's not a perfect system but there you are! As for monastic periods, I have worked in the wine industry for 20 years in a variety of fields and have never heard it used, particularly calling the 20th century the "post monastic " era, but i will research it in my various wine books and wine encyclopedia. The fact that you are writing a book on this man might mean you will have to leave it to someone else to write the entry under the conflict of interest rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebuild (talk • contribs) 21:37, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
