Unsupported by the reference 1
A paragraph and reference was added stating It made a very significant contribution to the development of both the British and
Irish linen industries which led to the
Irish linen industry dominating the world for much of the 19th and 20th centuries.[1]. The reference makes no such statement and I can't see where the reference can even be summarized in this way. I've reverted this as per
WP:BRD and
WP:OR based in part on the admin comment at
WT:BISE. Perhaps the author could point out the supporting text for this paragraph. --

The subsequent paragraph - Output figures for
Great Britain increased from £3,000,000 in 1806 to £7,000,000 in 1856 most of the material going to Africa and the Americas in place of previously imported European produce. [2] has also been removed as per
WP:SYN. --

Did this gentleman have an impact on those islands too? If not, British Isles wouldn't be appropiate.
