[edit]

I notice that the history section is made of direct copy and pastes from www.british-history.ac.uk. If you copy, paste and search on the first three sentences in Google, you get just two results; Wikipedia and the aforementioned site. Whilst the original text is probably not copyrighted anymore, what the site has done by making the text searchable by its own methods, and formatted in the way it is, constitutes an original piece of work under UK copyright laws. This information is relevant to the article, but needs re-writing in the editors own words. I have previously advised the editor who did this not just copy and paste. I use this source too for my editing, but take care to write in my own words.Rimmer1993 (talk) 16:36, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
