This information was added by 92.3.217.61 at 21:14, 1 August 2008:

Edward's son Alexander Popham was born deaf and dumb and was taught to speak by two scientists, John Wallis and William Holder. [1] He is considered to be one of the earliest cases of a born deaf person to learn to talk. [1] Alexander's notebook dated 1662 has recently been discovered at Littlecote House and features diagrams of how Alexander should control his throat and mouth to make certain sounds, and has been authenticated by a linguistics researcher at Oxford University as being in the hand of John Wallis, the mathematician credited with cracking the code used by Charles I during the English Civil War, allowing the Parliamentarians to read his letters to the Queen.

Copyleft problems

[edit]

I have deleted this article and recreated it as a stub.

This is because Wikipedia Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License allows commercial distribution, but the current licence used by the British Civil War website is Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported, which places a restriction "Non-Commercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes." which the Wikipedia license does not.

Providing the requirements of the Terms of Use and WP:plagiarism are met there is no reason why information from the British Civil War website can not be summarised and and cited like any other copyright text. But it can not be copied under its copyleft licence into Wikipedia articles because its licence is more restrictive than the Wikipedia licence. -- PBS (talk) 09:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
