Henry I Sinclair

I don't know what http://fabpedigree.com/drydline.pdf is meant to be as it doesn't work, nor does the home page, but I don't see how it could meet our criteria for sources at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS so I reverted you. If you are right I'd expect it to be found in academic histories.

I'm sorry no one ever gave you a welcome message, that's unusual. Doug Weller talk 16:11, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It works in my laptop. You should try again.

It did this time. But I've reverted you again, and ask you to please read the links above. I can find him on a blog, I can find that he's self-published a book[1] but no evidence that he meets our criteria. Reliablity is not a default. If you disagree with me you should raise it at WP:RSN and show why it should be considered reliable. Doug Weller talk 19:15, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've raised your edit at RSN

Please comment at WP:RSN#Is a person who read two important books a reliable source for genealogy?. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 19:34, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Doug Weller talk 18:56, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mean to be rude, but you are not adding a source that can be verified. See WP:VERIFY. And as discussed before, sources need to meet WP:RS. A quote isn't a source. If you find one, take it to the article talk page for discussion first please. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 18:57, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I'll stop.

Thanks. If you can find a suitable source, as I said, take it to the talk page. But the problem with genealogies is that there are a huge number of sources out there that fail our criteria. And if this person really is a 3rd son, I'd expect to find him mentioned in academic sources. Thanks again. Doug Weller talk 19:16, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
