Text was pulled from: Margaret, Countess of Mar, Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar and Earl of Mar. If vio exists, it is in those articles. -- SECisek 11:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The text that you added was identical to the link above while in the other articles you quote, the text is not the same. All it needs is for you to re-word it; shouldn't take you long. Incidentally, you changed her name to Isabel. I assume you have a citation you can use for the article. --Bill Reid | Talk 12:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did not go to that site and all text was cut and pasted from existing wiki articles. I was led to create the page due to a red linked "Isabel" in the William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas article. I have no intrest in working on this stub any further as it is outside of my scope of work. I stuck the wikiproject tag above, maybe one of you all will run with it. Best, -- SECisek 13:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Later copyvio?

[edit]

The expansion in 2010 by Pompeymagnus certainly reads like a copy/paste job in its slightly archaic, slightly novelistic language, and the editor acknowledges ElectricScotland as a source (which should be assumed to be non-free in the absence of a commons or PD notice). Certainly "gained a measure of revenge" is non-encyclopedic. If Pompeymagnus is still active: did you write it as a massive paraphrase of something? As I can't find a source even close enough for a {{Cv-unsure}} or even {{Copypaste}} tag, I'll just leave the question here for now. David Brooks (talk) 15:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
