Talk:Bourne Woods

Leofwine[edit]

It is not clear which Leofwine this was. Neither is it completely clear that he owned any woodland in Bourne. Domesday Book says, (Phillimore edn. vol 31 part 2. 42,2) that his successor, Odger owned a large slice of woodland and some woodland pasture in Bourne (which includes Dyke and Cawthorpe) but it clearly states only that Leofwine had (arable) land for 7 oxen.
The Leofwine who will once have been prominent in this area was the father of Leofric who, himself was a relatively old man when he died in 1057. His Wikipedia article gives Leofwine's date of death as 1028. At the earlier of the times accounted for in the Domesday Book, 1066, much of Bourne was in the hands of Leofwine's great grandson, Morcar. (RJP 12:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Self-published sources[edit]

Can anyone explain why the self-published banner is there? I wrote most of the article and it mentions nothing which I have published. RJPe (talk) 19:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There being no reply after 20 months, I have removed it.(RJPe (talk) 17:33, 17 January 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Additional citations?[edit]

There seem to be loads of citations. OK, not many in-line ones, but they do spoil the flow of the text so. I cant imagine many more citations for a bit of woodland. If there are no further comments in a few months I shall remove the banner, which seems petty.--Brunnian (talk) 18:09, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should really be changed to {{inline}} as there is no in-line cites which the article should have, rather than lots of references and no link to the text they are supporting. Keith D (talk) 19:58, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
