Talk:Clan Eliott

message: What is the clan name? The clan is listed as Clan Eliott in Way, George; Squire, Romilly (2000). Clans & Tartans. Glasgow: HarperCollins. .. It is listed this way on the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs website, too. Same on the Burke's Peerage website, "Chief of the Name and Arms of Eliott". I think the article should be moved to Clan Eliott.--Celtus (talk) 00:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: ''[[Clan Elliot]]'' or ''[[Clan Eliott]]''?

message: As I understand it, the Armstrong and Eliott's were major allies in the lowland territory and often inter married between the clans.
I was wondering if its also suitable to mention that the Eliott's and Armstrong's where the two strongest clans within the borders area?

replies: text: Absolutely, include references too, which shouldn't be hard considering they were the two notoriously devious clans in the borderlands. Je.rrt (talk) 00:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Ok so this user (User talk:67.0.63.191 obviously the same person as user: User:Lawismarkellot) is adding masses to the article which which is drawing conclusions from primary sources, and combining secondary sources to prove an otherwise unpublished point of view which is original research and not permitted on Wikipedia as per: Wikipedia:No original research. Also most of the information this user is adding is about the surname Eliott and not the Clan Eliott which the article is supposed to be about. These are two different subjects. I have tried to get the user to start a discussion about all of these issues but he is refusing to discuss the issues and is turning the situation into an "edit war" as per Wikipedia:Edit warring.QuintusPetillius (talk) 16:49, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. There are real problems of original research here. Lawis, please read the 'Wikipedia:No original research' page Quintus linked to.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

text: Lawismarkellot, please don't edit war. Editors aren't supposed to constantly revert each other. We're supposed to settle disagreements and misunderstandings on talkpages like this. The stuff your adding comes across as original research and gibberish. Please read the pages Quintus linked to.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 02:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Name taken from someone hung for steeling sheep, during the 16th Century. Not a Redhuegh Elwald (Elliot), but am of Stobs. Clementis Hobs of Stobs is my family line. In the Redheugh sasine of 1484, Walter Scot of Edschaw son of David Scot of Buccleuch, with two brothers of Cessford, and many great grandfather William Elwald of Gorrenberry, were in attendance to establish the Redhuegh line with land ownership. The father of Clementis Hobs is The Cowie of Gorrenberry, a Andrew Elwald of Baililie hidden away with the story to keep him from being captured because he was accused in the slaughter of a Hugh Douglas. So have "Cowie" this somewhat.
Because I am a Cowie, can stand in front of the above an he will not know I am there until I tell him so. On the Clan Eliott, sight the above deleted links to the Clan Armstrong Trust, and to Clan Crozier.
After I point this link out from the Clan Eliott site it will likely be deleted, but it is also available on Clan Armstrong. An for a time being here. Remember I am not descended from Redheugh, and my family was vanished from both kingdoms in 1608, being Scandinavian, and it seem like the Normans of a single leader society are ruling the Clan Eliott United Kingdom site. They do not yet rule the German Clan Elliot site, or the US Clan Elliot Society site. So in the US and Germany I am Elliott, but in the United Kingdom, proud to say I am an Armstrong.

replies: text: Once again, your personal ancestry is of no relevance as to what can go in this Wikipedia article. And you cannot use self-published sources. I am simply reverting to the version that we have consensus for via myself, User:Arjayay and User:Brianann MacAmhlaidh. That's a consensus of three to one and we have all reverted your edits that are again drawing conclusions from primary sources, and combining secondary sources to prove an otherwise unpublished point of view which is original research and not permitted on Wikipedia as per: Wikipedia:No original research. The article you are trying to create is complete and utter gibberish.QuintusPetillius (talk) 16:09, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
