Referencing

Hi Nev1. Happy with that referencing compromise: saves me looking up how to do harvnb when there's no obvious author (e.g. most websites).

Regarding Liddiard, which you tantalisingly added as a ref on 12 Feb last year: do you want to include any further early history from that source? If not I can plunder Mellor, and Cherry & Pevsner (Buildings of England: Devon), etc. And Exeter City Council has a good summary online in this pdf (pp. 25 et seq.). —SMALL JIM 22:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, Liddiard doesn't have much more on the castle's early history because that wasn't his main concern. But there are plenty of other sources I can search through, some of which are online. Nev1 (talk) 23:08, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow - that's a good resource! Since you seem to have plenty of other things on the go, I'll make a few additions, and you can then supplement/amend if you wish. OK? —SMALL JIM 12:22, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great to me. Nev1 (talk) 12:24, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Volcanics

Hi, I made the edits removing the volcanic text in good faith but evidently I was over-hasty. At least it means that - through your good works - the article is now better referenced! Oddly the 1:50,000 geological map doesn't label the spot as a vent agglomerate or any other sort of igneous intrusion but simply as basalt and I couldn't find a reference to it in the BGS SW England regional memoir. Perhaps the interpretation of the site has moved on since the literature which I looked at was published. cheers Geopersona (talk) 05:56, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was a case of "I'm not sure that's right, let's look it up" and one thing leading to another... I don't know what the current thinking is about this outcrop—I've been looking forward to the new edition of The Geology of Devon for a couple of years, but I see it's not now due till 2014—but during post-war reconstruction in the 1950s they found the "trap rock" and a superficial layer of "trap marl" underlying clays and gravels across much of the city centre, rapidly increasing in depth with distance from Rougemont, which may have suggested the volcanic cone/plug theory. —SMALL JIM 12:22, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page Name Change

Hi, We are the current owners of Exeter Castle. Would it be possible to change the name of this page from Rougement Castle to Exeter Castle? The reason I ask, is that when you search for Exeter Castle, Rougemont Castle (i.e this page) is found in the search. We very much want to refer to the history of the Castle and we have a page dedicated to it on our website, however it does cause some confusion.

If the name could be changed to Exeter Castle and also the first line from "Rougemont Castle, also known as Exeter Castle" to "Exeter Castle, also known as Rougemont Castle" that would be wonderful.

Many thanks,
