HI - I thought it was clear that I removed your edit for two reasons. First, the links are copyright violations. But I would have removed it anyway as the section above it ends with "She has also been mentioned in The Libertines' song The Good Old Days." so it was inappropriate to add it again.

Thank you, Doug Weller, today's edits were part of a research project to demonstrate bias in wikipedia - you have provided us with a very clear example. How interesting that the unreferenced and orthographically incorrect Boudicca used to describe The Libertine's song had stood for half a year or more, but that when it was corrected and provided with ten, not merely one reference, it was removed within the hour. Of course you " would have removed it anyway " - but how interesting that you waited to do so until the exact moment when the orthography was changed to the correct form.
