[edit] 1911 Text

The text I restored on 22 July 2004 is from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, a well known (on Wikipedia) public domain source. I think it had been unintentionally removed with some copyvio text Gwimpey 16:28, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion between two John Michells

I have added another entry (John Michell (writer)) for the living English writer of the same name and corrected a number of links which were clearly intended to refer to him, not to the 18th century scientist covered by this entry. I may have missed some incorrect links.Rodparkes 10:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I would like to know if "Michell" is pronounced as "Mishell" or "Mitchell"? Thanks Melamed katz 21:41, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

It is pronounced "meshell" or "mis-shell" and the family name is originally from Brittanny. My pleasure. Please note that many of his books, previously out of print, are being reissued, notably "Megalithamania". User:SageMab, 23 October 2007

The above comment on "Megalithomania" is obviously intended to refer to the other John Michell - see John Michell (writer). Rodparkes 13:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
