kaye but I think ya got the wrong end of the stick, its origonal research that they don't allow, other peoples research is fine if ya put who wrote it, most of the areticals on wikipedia are taken from webpages,

Please look at this link. No, they don't like original research by contributors, whereas original research by dependable outside people is fine when well sourced, but simply copying and pasting anyone's work, unless your own, is unethical and illegal in most countries.

okay sos, well I was in netherton a few weeks ago, we went to the black country museum, I think youve missed out the most important parts about netherton, you know its history as the black country town that produced the worlds largest chain and anchors, maybe yo could write somethin about that, you know the history of the place as the formor metalbashing capital of the world. Nethertons industry was really immpressive, and the place has an aura still, there was thick black smoke in peoples faces, charles dickens once described it like it was the gates of hell its self, men women and children would work down a pit, and rail roads would haul by the pits to collect the coal, you could hear the banging of the engines all day long, pumm pumm pumm, out side theres be so much smoke and furnaces burnin all day long, to me thats impressive, mens faces would be black with dirt thats why we call it the black country.
St Andrew's Church
I removed the reference to St Andrew's being the 'highest parish church in Worcestershire' because: (1) it is not in Worcestershire but in the Diocese of Worcester and (2) St Thomas in Dudley (also a parish church in the Diocese of Worcester) is, according to the Explorer OS map of the area (sheet 219), at a greater height above sea level (it's above the 200m contour). However, at 189m above sea level, St. Andrew's is definitely at the highest point in Netherton.
