The aditnow website has recently adopted a system whereby regional editors
will have the ability to edit all mines in their specific areas. These
regional editors are people who (hopefully) have reasonably good knowledge
of their area. In any event they will provide a means whereby anyone who
spots errors will have a contact point.
On occasion in the past, mines have been added by people who have later
ceased to contribute to the site, and as such the person who had edit rights
was no longer there.
Please be advised that in the event anyone spots errors on that website,
feel free to report them either direct to me at [log in to unmask] or to the
site admins.

Dear List Members,
Is it just me and my sadly increasing age, or do others notice the crass ID
errors that are creeping into mining opers./matters showing themselves on
some mining websites on mining subjects between the 1970's and 1990's - all
areas - but partic. metalliferous/non metalliferous. Such errors are NOT
helpful
to history, and this either shows lack of research or, worse, lack of
bother
of same before such is put into the public domain. I can only state
Weardale
as a prime example, where, between 1974 to 1990 I have complete knowledge.
However, I have seen recently such things on websites that are completely
inaccurate.
I despair at what mining history will be in future times with the on going
inaccuracies due to lack of proper research.
Would those responsible for current websites (& I will refrain from
mentioning), please ensure that accurate ID is ensured please. It spoils
otherwise
very good fieldwork.
Regards, Bernard
