Batu Niah
User:JamesBWatson came past and made a few, somewhat questionable changes (deleted two sources). Comment by user:Stevage moved here from the results table.

Stevage, Welcome to wp:NEWT, and thanks for creating Batu Niah!  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  13:12, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, why, thank you. I originally wrote it using my usual style, then went back and tried to "newbify" it a bit. But I suspect it was still a bit too good. And towns have pretty clear notability. Maybe I should try again with a person or a company or something.


 * Also, to expand on my above remarks, I used three sources to write the article, and pasted their URLs (in clueless newbie non-bulleted format) at the bottom of the article. I can sort of see why James removed them, thinking they were advertising or something, but they are in fact the sources of the article...presumably it is still better that we retain the source of information, even if it's a website we don't particularly want to link to?
