[edit]Hello MarkDShockley,

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joseph Lister, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lancet (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Samuel Fancourt
[edit]Hi, I have been trying to clean up the article on Samuel Fancourt. In June 2017 you tagged "Some years later he involved himself in a controversy about free-will and predestination, which eventually resulted in his having to leave Salisbury" with citation needed, reason=This is not mentioned in any of the references, it is only known that he left Salisbury. Do you remember what the problem was? The sentence, like much of the article is copied from Fancourt's ODNB article, which is listed as a source and linked in the wikipedia article, but I don't know what source the ODNB was using.TSventon (talk) 09:41, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- @TSventon: Samuel Fancourt's autobiographical "Narrative" of 1747 (on p. 3-4) states that he was driven to London for financial reasons, and denies outright that he was a victim of any religious prejudice more than other honest Dissenters of the time. I have also the "Biographical Anecdotes of the Rev. Mr. Fancourt" in the Gentlemen's Magazine of April, 1784. This notice lists Fancourt's "antagonists" in the 1720s and 1730s and then notes that he was "driven from a comfortable settlement to the great metropolis." Later readers may have taken this as implying that the controversy drove Fancourt to London, but Fancourt's own narrative says that it was caused by financial difficulties, which he had throughout his life. It is, of course, possible that Fancourt's congregation denied him any increase because of his theological views, but this is speculation and isn't mentioned in any of the older sources available to me.
- I don't think this is a case of citation needed as the sentence can be referenced to the ODNB. Could you edit the article to say something like he continued to engage in controversy and eventually left Salisbury, due to either controversy or financial difficulties and reference to the narrative and ODNB? Also could you add the narrative to his list of works? Then this conversation could be copied to the talk page of Samuel Fancourt as background.TSventon (talk) 10:59, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
