Plagerism

At least some - if not much of the content of this article would appear to be awfully similar to the Encyclopedia Britannica article with sections being nearly copied verbatim. No citations are offered. Academia has criticized our efforts here at Wikipedia precisely for these reasons. I am not an expert at Herefordshire so I could not possibly pretend to write on this subject with expertise, however, citing appropriately would appear advisable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.238.141.180 (talk) 21:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speaking as the original article writer, I based this article on the reference that I cited: http://britannia.com/history/chouses/hunsdon.html. If I had used Britannica, I would have cited them as well. Besides, I can't even find a Britannica article about the house. howcheng {chat} 22:31, 19 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
However, your remark has spurred me to do some more research, and I've now expanded the article a bit, with appropriate citations. (As an aside, I am also not an expert on Hertforshire. I'm not even British! I only say this to point out that you don't need to be an expert to write the article. Google and Google Books will give you lots of help.) howcheng {chat} 23:48, 19 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
