[edit] Prize-fighting copyright
The text of the para on prize-fighting added by the user at 195.92.67.66 on 27 Mar 05 reads as though it's come from an old text (in terms of the language used etc.). If this is the case, is the text out of copyright? Even if it is out of copyright, I think the original source should be acknowledged (and IMO ideally the passage should be re-drafted in 21st century English). Valiantis 18:03, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- :) I agree, it should be written in modern English, quite amusing. You have organised this page brilliantly Valiantis, I think that now we have sub pages we can maybe add more images as well to increase interest further. Nick Boulevard 23:13, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cricket gibberish
What is:
- In legion The Birmingham C.C., started in 1819, the members including the young élite of the town at Ladywood.
supposed to mean? Andy Mabbett 16:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- Who knows - most cricket talk sounds like gibberish to me :) I could have sworn I'd rewritten this to strip out the goobledygook and the direct quotes from what sounds like a 100-year-old source, but it looks like all I got as far as doing back in March was adding some structure and tidying a few paras. (Unless the text went astray at some point, server crash? failed save?). If I get a chance I'll try and turn the article into English at some point. Valiantis 18:46, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Edit
I have expanded the article and cited as much as I can. There are several statements which are still requiring sources, though I have not removed them as I feel there maybe truth within them. I think the article could still do with some expanding though all necessary edits have now been done. - Erebus555 12:31, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Panthers?
The Panthers now play in Walsall so should they really be listed in this article? Dunk the Lunk (talk) 10:35, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
