Talk:1298
Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia
The first paragraph here should be plaaced under (1 April) 1289, not 1298. Brian 06:11, 23 February 2008 (MST)
Then put it there..... :-)

Why ?? If you know what is right, then you can correct it...We are all amateurs when it comes to history here....

OK! I just didn't want it to look as if I was wading in with hobnailed boots! Brian
- Yes Brian, feel free to correct any mistakes you find.
Most of the information on the year pages has just been added from books, which we have proved from bitter experience to be a very unreliable source of information, 90% wrong. Or worse still websites, which are about 99% wrong.
One thing that editing Shetlopedia has proved to me, beyond a shadow of doubt, is that there is yet to be an author of any written text which can be trusted to have done anything more accurate than get his name on the cover. :-)))

- Another thing, I've seen some of what you've been writing on Shetlink, and it seems to me that you are a person that knows a lot about history. We have tried to put some information in as many years as possible... but there are a lot with noting on, or nearly nothing, so if you have any information from past times, put it in !!

- "and it seems to me that you are a person that knows a lot about history." :-) That is quite an understatement!
