Talk:Royal Scots Navy

message: 99% of the text is a cut and paste from an e-book "The Old Scots Navy" ed. by James Grant, 1913/1914.  --Billreid 09:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you mean "The Old Scots Navy from 1689 to 1710 Edited by James Grant (1914)" I am puzzled.  Are there other volumes for earlier history? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the earlier history is in the general introduction to this book. --Billreid 13:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

text: So it is ! That's plagiarism rather than copyright violation I think. Grant's book was reprinted by the Adamant Media Corporation in 2005. Navy Records Society reprints are by Ashgate and others. Adamant seem to be republishers of public domain works, so I presume, but cannot prove, that The Old Scots Navy has been in the public domain in the US since 2005 anyway. Not that out and out plagiarism is a good thing, the article should be rewritten to avoid that. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 16:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Right! I'll try a rewording and get my hands on some other stuff. --Billreid 16:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I have tagged the article for OR. The extensive use of state papers looks like it moves outside of secondary research. I am also unconvinved if quite this level of detail is needed for this topic.--SabreBD (talk) 23:38, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm removing the OR tag, reasons being that those citations are generally out there in the ether, and there is a bibliography of secondary sources presented, if a statement is considered an opinion, by all means tag that statement. As far as the over detail goes, one only has to look at the Austro-Hungarian Navy or the Spanish Republican Navy and the rest.Brendandh (talk) 12:40, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but that detail is relevant. I remain unconvinced that a lot of the detail here has much to do with the topic.--SabreBD (talk) 12:59, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, if it really is one of the Darien scheme ships, as the link claims, then it has to be the Saint Andrew, the Caledonia, the Unicorn, the Dolphin, or the Endeavour. -- Derek Ross | Talk 03:38, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Is there any evidence that Scottish naval vessels actually flew the red ensign depicted? Or is this just romantic fiction? --Bermicourt (talk) 19:22, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
