Confusion between Welbeck (country village) and Welbeck Colliery Village
[edit]This article was developed gradually by accretion, changing from a town to a village, then alluding to a group of villages around Welbeck, together with Holbeck and Cuckney consistent with the coords.
- The 2008 original upload refers to a "...a town in Nottinghamshire, England, slightly to the north-east of Mansfield" and contains a dead reference to a coal mining tradition from 1912
- The deadref's Wayback entry confirms it refers to the colliery village
- Soon, this was changed to "a town in Nottinghamshire, England, slightly to the south-west of Worksop"
- Soon again, this was changed to "a village in Nottinghamshire, England, slightly to the south-west of Worksop"
- Welbeck Colliery Village was officially re-named as Meden Vale (similarly, nearby Warsop became Market Warsop)
- I've therefore removed the original prose and reference to a mining tradition from 1912 as it is inappropriate for the article as it is now.
- There is also problem with Wikipedia claiming Ted Alletson to be from Welbeck, deleted from his bio November 2022 (#lawofdiminishingreturns)
