[edit] Dictionary of terms used in Rural and Local History

Per WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary this is not the appropriate place for this substantial body of work. I strongly recommend moving it to Wikipedia or Wikibooks or Wikiversity where it would be more appropriate.

Glossary Deleted as suggested. Did it really matter - would the Earth have stopped revolving? The definitions helped visitors to Wiki and was doing no discernable harm - or am I wrong?. Rosser1954.

  • I read your entry at User_talk:Jeepday#Local_history_glossary and have responded in the same place. I think you have done a huge amount of work and I also think Wikipedia is not the correct location for it, either Wiktionary or Wikibooks would be. I also don't think the article Local history glossary will survive a WP:AFD test. I have also read your entry on Talk:Museum of Scottish Rural Life, Kittochside and the answer is no I don't think the Earth would stop revolving, anymore then it would if you copy and pasted the whole New York City phone book to the bottom of every article that mentions New York on Wikipedia but it would not help anything either. Every body of work has a home it's just that an Encyclopedia is not a Dictionary, you have chosen the wrong home for this work. Jeepday 22:20, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
