Endnote deleted?
In this series of edits, why did you delete the end note explaining the term "file cutter"? Your original text had an elaborate explanation of the term which, while useful, did not need to be in the main text. I did help to have it as an end note, because the term is not well-known, and there is no Wikipedia article to link to that would explain the term.

 * Oh I see. Being new to Wikipedia, I assumed that another user had removed it because they considered it superfluous. I didn't fully understand that it had been placed in the Notes section for the reason you gave, which, I agree, is a more appropriate place for it. It's rather an archaic occupation, hence the explanation. In conclusion, I'm quite happy for it to go in the notes.    Sensca (talk) 17:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Suppositions
In this edit, you added: It is possible that among his ancestors was another Peter Atherton, who served as bailiff of Liverpool in 1673, and was manufacturing half-penny tokens at this location in 1688. The tokens bore the image of a sugar loaf, representing his business. The given citation verifies all of the information about the elder Peter Atherton, but does not verify that Peter Atherton (the inventor) was in any way related. Such suppositions fall into the realm of original research, which is not permitted at Wikipedia. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:56, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I agree. The original comment was made by another user. I merely reframed the language to emphasise the absence of evidence supporting the supposition. I chose not to remove the original statement outright, not wishing to delete someone else's work; however, I concur with the decision unless credible evidence can be found to substantiate the claim. Thanks for your help. Sensca (talk) 14:37, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
