You've Spotted a Mistake?

 

If you think there's something wrong with this site, I've missed an important piece of evidence or drawn incorrect conclusions, then I'd love to hear from you. My aim on this site is to seperate the fact from the fiction, and if I have labelled something as fiction which is in reality a fact I would be more than happy to change it.

If you'd like to tell me that something on this site is incorrect then please email me with the following information:

• Which page of the site you think contains an error.

• Specifically, what you think the error is.

• What sources you can produce to show that I have actually made an error.

 

When I ask for sources I am talking specifically about proper primary evidence. I am well aware (for example) that there are plenty of websites which claim Charlotte de Berry was real - if you want to prove to me that she was then you need to send me a genuine primary source which proves her existence. This website was set up to fight the idea that anything you read on the web is reliable.

Most of the information on this site comes from primary sources, or from secondary sources which quote their own primary sources (I do use secondary sources, but I'm careful about which ones). Any source which you send me needs to be a written transcript, scanned copy - or weblink to either of those - of a document, picture or artefact which comes from the period in question or a reasonable period either side, together with information about where the original document, picture or artefact is OR a quoted passage from a secondary source which quotes or cites its own primary source, together with details of author, publisher, date, and ISBN number.

So, if you know of any real evidence which contradicts anything I have said on this site please do email me.
