Copy to Wikisource edit

To copy these works to Wikisource, they would need to be sourced to their publishing and the years. Once that is done, then we would be sited individually as versions of the same work and disambiguated. billinghurst (talk) 05:02, 26 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Somserset? edit

My copy of sheet music for this song said that it was a Somerset folk song. Should that be included in the article, or should it be kept at "British"? Superk1a (talk) 00:16, 29 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

You sheet music reflects the ignorance of early collectors. Even to call it 'English' is too parochial. I think it's fair to say 'British' since the North American versions originate in Britain (when it still included Ireland). There is no elegant way to say 'British and/or Irish'. The expression 'of the British Isles' is not acceptable to the Irish. DavidCrosbie (talk) 01:38, 27 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
