Your edit of 6 February. You made a deletion due to "duplication". I can't see any other link which is similar. Could you please advise. Thanks [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
Thanks for advising. I had looked at the link you quoted, but no image appeared at the time, which confused me- slow download problems I suppose. [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]]) 9 February 2015, my estimate of your time 8.15 am

Hi Beverly. Regarding your last three edits, for [[Life in India]].
Firstly the reason given is (remove links breaking guidelines .) I assume this refers to the guidelines wording: Links '''normally''' to be avoided: One should '''generally''' avoid providing external links to:…
<br>11. Blogs, personal web pages and most fan sites, except those written by a recognized authority such as the British Library, The National Archives etc.
I have emphasized the words normally, and generally.
The two links deleted in terms of this edit were personal reminiscences by John Alton Price of his childhood and early adulthood in India. The second of these accounts was referred to in an academic paper, which indicates it was considered to have relevant information. These pages have now been archived as the originating website is no longer in existence, and the URL is for the archive.org link. I ask that you reconsider allowing these, firstly in view of the fact that personal reminiscences are an important means of appreciating what life was like for our ancestors, and secondly as the pages are now archived, it could be argued that they are not personal web pages anymore.
I also advise that I proved two corrections to links which you have now cancelled and reverted back to links which do not work.
I also ask that the 1913 photograph you deleted from the Dagshai page be reinstated, in view of the historical value, including the view of the cantonment Barracks in the background. [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
