I reverted your recent edit to this article for two reasons:
1) I believe that the original research tag is unnecessary, as the article has already been tagged as needing reliable sources. By getting such sources any WP:OR problems that exist would automatically be identified and fixed. I also don't think there is any actual original research on the page, as all that info can be found in various sources I have read in the past (though I can't recall specifically which for each point offhand) even if those sources were not listed. I may be wrong, but when sources are tracked down it'll fix itself one way or another.
2) You said you fixed spelling but changed "labourer" to "laborer" and some -ise words to -ize. Those were not errors but proper spelling in England. The article is about events that happened in England, so we use the spelling and grammar rules of that country. English-language Wikipedia doesn't pick a side in the American vs. British spelling debate, we just pick the one that is more appropriate to the particular topic or -- if the subject isn't so clearly defined geographically as this one -- whichever was used when the article was first created. This is explained over at WP:ENGVAR if you'd like more information.
And both of those are very easy mistakes to make (and arguably neither are full-fledged mistakes, just not how typically we do things here), and ones lots of people (including myself) have made here. DreamGuy ( talk) 13:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
