Talk:B. Hick and Sons

No such firm

Unfortunately, the firm Benjamin Hick and Sons did not exist; the title of this article should be B. Hick and Sons. See: P. W. Pilling, Hick Hargreaves and Co., The History of an Engineering Firm c. 1833 – 1939, a Study with Special Reference to Technological Change and Markets (Unpublished Doctoral Thesis, University of Liverpool, 1985), p. 20; Short Histories of Famous Firms, Messrs. Hick, Hargreaves and Co., Reprint from The Engineer, June 25th and July 30th 1920.Weiterbewegung (talk) 16:01, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Copyright violations

I have reverted this article to an earlier version, due to copyright concerns brought up by Weiterbewegung. Thank you for bringing this our attention. The edits he had added Weiterbewegung, were violations of copyright from a Master's thesis by Maurice Halton, and unfortunately we have no release from Dr. Halton to permit this. I encourage editors to build up the article again, using this very useful source but rewriting the information in their own words, avoiding copyright violations and plagiarism.--Slp1 (talk) 15:30, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
