Talk:Josiah Child

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Citations needed

Much of this article, as it was originally created in 2003, appears to be cited from the 1911 edition of the Enclyclopedia Britanica. However, a rather substantial addition to the article was added in March 2006 without citations and does not meet Wikipedia:Verifiability guidelines. In looking at the editor who made the contributions, I note that the editor User:Ronald Dunning used their user ID only on the one day (2006-03-18) that these edits to the Josiah Child article were made. I assume good faith on the part of the editor; but it appears that this editor may no longer be an active Wikipedian. So the question is, can anyone provide verifiable sources on these substantial claims in this Biographical article? Failing to find such sources, it would appear that a number of these claims are original research and therefore are not consistent with Wikipedia policy. N2e 00:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
