Hugh Hepburne-Scott, 6th Lord Polwarth
- ... that when Hugh Hepburne-Scott informed his grandather, the 3rd Earl of Marchmont of his intention to run for Berwickshire, he bitterly resented his intervention and a violent family quarrel ensued? Source: [1] "When Hugh Scott informed his grandfather of his intention, he therefore had little hope of obtaining his support. Marchmont, in fact, bitterly resented Scott’s intervention and a violent family quarrel followed."

I came across this article as it has a Copied and pasted section tag. Paragraphs 1 to 5 of the political career section closely paraphrases the 1964 History of parliament source. This is not Public Domain in the USA as the copyright was restored there per these links. There is also exact copying such as "bitterly resented Scott's intervention and a violent family quarrel" and "rival interests of the Earl of Home and the anti-Marchmont independent voters". Therefore, this DYK nomination cannot pass due to the amount of close paraphrasing/copying in this article. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:44, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
