I made some changes to the text, revert them if you don't agree. Unless you have a better source, you could mark it as complete I reckon. Regards, Cygnis insignis (talk) 19:31, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, I'm marking it as 'text being edited', this is a rough timeline: 1. Another user has said it was not proofread by any other than yourself, not accurate but anyway ... 2. You made some changes to the text that do not appear in the source. 3. I then restored the transcription from the site provided, I reckon this is what we do here. The images don't appear either, not our role to add them I reckon. 4. You made changes to the text that do not appear in the source. 5. I notified you that if you agreed you could mark it as 100%; I didn't make that explicitly clear, apologies for that. 6. You reverted my proofread document to your version, then marked it 100%. 7. I marked it as above because your actions, and mine, and the third party, have made the document unstable. 8 You switched it back. 9. I undid that again.

I anticipate your rationale for changing and adding to a document from the verbatim text provided. Do you perhaps have access to a different source or the original document? I would also suggest instead a wikipedia article on the original document would be notable and has the scope for these changes, if that is what they are, I just go with what we are given - literally.
