Please explain what the copyright violation is. There is no copying word for word from the Berkshire History website the facts given there have been completely rewoven into a new presentation and combined with data from the other sources quoted.
If this use is this is judged to be a copyright violation please be more specific, and I would be happy to edited it to an acceptible form, since I argue the article has merit for WP and has certainly not been copied from this source.
In any case the ultimate source of The Berkshire History website page is an out of copyright version of the DNB which I am prepared to directly extract material from and reference it if necessary. The Berkshire History website merely provides a more convenient location for everyone to check some facts.

Well you seemd to extract lots of data from the page you mentioned above. Almost seems like copy/paste with some formating of text. Berkshire History pages seem to be made by Nash Ford Publishing who reserv all right to the content. It's only my oppinion that lots of content seems to be from there. But maybe we can rearrange and rewrite the content so that it doesn't seem to be direct copying from that webiste?

Many thanks for the explanation. I felt a limited portion of facts from the website gave a good picture for the Life at Court section. As you question whether I have done enough rewriting in my own words, what I suggest I do for now is to blank the Life at Court section, and then go to library and extract the same data directly from DNB, which I can do in a few days time when the library reopens. -- Op.

I have now blanked all the little bits of copy and paste in the Life in Court section. I will recreate these in a few days when I have consulted the 1891 edition of DNB. Thanks, syvanen, for your help. -- Op. Deo 20:08, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I have now read the orginal article by William Arthur Jobson Archibald published in the 1894 DNB, and I can now confirm this contains the text which I used. Obviously the Berkshire History website was copied verbatum from the PD edition of the DNB, with a few changes to spellings and ommitting some parts. I will now add a few items back into the article directly from the 1894 public domain text. Op. Deo 13:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
