Missing URLs

Hi Eddaido, I've just tidied up the references. All that's now missing is the URLs and given that it all comes from PapersPast, I had a look who expanded the article. That must have been early on in your Wiki career; do you feel inclined to go back and look up the URLs? Schwede66 23:06, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you weren't contributing when I began but back to the article; I think it all came from one of his descendants who kept referring me to the local early settlers museum. The very biggest problem is he was no politician, far from it. But the powers that be organised recording people for WP by their political involvements which meant they automatically added "politician". I've tried a number of times to fix the name of the article but it has always been reverted, don't understand why, do you?

Oops, wrong Donald Reid, I suppose mayors are politicians though in this country they really need real jobs, I added data to this article to try to clarify the distinction between him and his uncle Donald. Cheers, Eddaido (talk) 05:47, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

My mistake. It looked like a real newbie stuff up to not record the URLs but by that time, you had already been editing for seven years as I can see. Never mind. Not sure that you've even read my question. Not important; don't worry about it. Schwede66 06:02, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
