"... due to his involvement in the cotton-slave trade"
[edit]An IP editor added the phrase ... due to his involvement in the cotton-slave trade
to the end of Shipley spent most of his life in Liverpool, England where he became wealthy due to his involvement in the cotton-slave trade.
There are three problems with this edit:
- The only citation was left in the edit summary & was not used as a citation in the text. Thus for the reader, this is unverified.
- The URL that was left in the edit summary, https://dailybritain.wordpress.com/2017/07/29/29th-july-1833-slavery/, appears to be a blog & is thus disallowed as user-generated content.
- The citation for this blog is Dunkerley, Colin (2017-07-29). "29th July 1833. Slavery". A Date with History. Retrieved 2022-11-21.
- This blog cites the following:
Ref: BBC. history.co.uk: Slavery/Families.
wikipedia.org/Pics.
theguardian.3.8.2010.Stephen Tomkins article on Sierra Leone slavery.
I attempted to find something at the BCC, hisory.co.uk, or theguardian.com by searching for Shipley & slavery, but I could not find anything mentioning Joseph Shipley.
In short, the statement is unverified & is possible original research. I have reverted it. Peaceray (talk) 05:35, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
map is wrong
[edit]The blue marker on the map in the right panel is in the wrong place. I don't know how to edit this but I'm sure someone here does. The blue marker is much to far inland..it needs to move eastward. The coordinates link is correct. 2601:48:C501:11E0:F95A:7D87:EE0F:2576 (talk) 21:10, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
