Contradictions in article – when did this phenomenon begin?
editIn the opening paragraph, it says the movement "largely originated in 1980s and early 1990s Britain". In the "Background" section, it says "originated in the free festivals of the 1970s". In the "Contemporary British Travelling Scene" section, it says New Age travellers have "taken to the road since the 1960s". Only the second claim (the 1970s) is sourced. In the discussion elsewhere on this Talk Page, I see many people saying that the scene "peaked" in the late '80s and early '90s, suggesting that it must have started earlier, making me especially suspicious of the claim in the opening paragraph. So, unless anyone has a source saying otherwise, I'll make it so they all refer to the movement as starting in the 1970s. --Static Sleepstorm (talk) 06:54, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
