Citation Needed[edit]

This is my first proper foray into Wiki editing so thought I should bring my quite minor point here. The sentence "By 1745 it is estimated[citation needed] that 20,000 people were smuggling along the Kent and Sussex coast line." appears to be based on information from Geoffrey Morley's 'The Smuggling War' but a review of this book in Policing and War in Europe (ed. by Louis Knafla) points out several errors made by Morley including the specific 'A witness before the 1745 Committee of Enquiry reckoned there were 20,000 smugglers in Britain, not just on the Sussex coast'. This being the case would it be best to change the sentence to something like:

'A witness before a 1745 Committee of Enquiry estimated there were 20,000 smugglers operating in Britain.'

This I think addresses the fact that not only was it throughout Britain but mentions the fact that it was a primary source that gave us this estimate and so is not 100% reliable.

Like I said this my first edit so I'll wait for comments but if I don't receive any I'll go ahead and change it. Thanks Riled Ignatius (talk) 15:44, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

William the Conqueror[edit]

The use of this name is inappropriate, The Kingdom of Kent was never conquered by the Nirmans, hence the county's motto "Invicta" (unconquered). The correct appellation is either William the Norman or William the Bastard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.218.183 (talk) 15:41, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
