names of the women and their trades is directly taken from that. Removing this section because it does not fit with a male narrative of what is important is not just vandalism it's misogynistic and undermines attempts to make wikipedia less androcentric and acknowledge the historical role of women in
British society.
829:
Can we please stick to the local pronunciation, not some RP version that non-locals think it should be. Please refer also to the
Yorkshire dialect page on Wiki (North Nottinghamshire accent is more similar to Yorkshire dialect in terms of vowels) which uses ĘŠ to represent the short northern u sound.
824:
Somebody keeps changing the way the name is pronounced to Ret-ferd. That is not how it is pronounced. People actually say Ret-fud with equal emphasis on both syllables and a short u (no r). English placenames are often not pronounced as they are spelt or as non-locals think they should be pronounced

I have removed the tag at the start of this article. There are over 100 citations on this article now. If anyone feels there are sections requiring additional citation please mark these up individually for action. It is silly that this well referenced article is tagged as needing verification when

It is important to recognise the history of women on
Knowledge, which is generally lacking. Adding a section showing that women were economically active in Retford is an important part of that. It was removed by an editor despite being referenced to a historic (published) trade directory and the
718:
Most of the economy section is historic, which is interesting but it could do with a paragraph on the economy as it is today. I have updated the unemployment numbers etc which were very outdated. Should add major employers and a comment about the make-up of the local economy.
801:
I cannot understand why these were removed because they were referenced. I agree it's important to recognise women's economic activity. I will add some more information about this eg Clarke's dye works was a major employer of women.
555:
I added a photo of the Cannon from one of mine taken while I was visiting my parents. It didn't look right when I added it on the paragraph about the cannon as the paragraph was too short so I put it on the one above.

Due to the excessive number of spammy links in the external links section, I implemented a DMOZ solution that has been used on a number of similar pages. Knowledge is not a links directory. Rgds, --

537:
I removed the link on the page as I feel it could be seen as spam, and doesn't necessarily offer further information into the town of
Retford. It would also be unfair to all the other

Main section ends “allowing for the free flow of clean and fresh ejaculates into the pipes of local women.” The reference is to a paper book, but I bet it does not say that…
