Acts of Union 1707
[edit]"Synthesizing material occurs when an editor tries to demonstrate the validity of his or her own conclusions by citing sources that when put together serve to advance the editor's position. If the sources cited do not explicitly reach the same conclusion, or if the sources cited are not directly related to the subject of the article, then the editor is engaged in original research" (Wikipedia: No Original Research) - there is no source given that explicitly says the conclusion that "there were many concerns that England was trying to use the Union to dominate Scotland". 88.107.8.45 (talk) 18:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- You are still engaging in original research. I have made a note of this on the adminsitrators' noticeboard for an adminsitrator to investigate this (see here). 213.131.125.34 (talk) 11:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have cleared up your most recent edit. Can I ask that you provide more specific references for the quotes that you use. As per Wikipedia:Citing sources: "Full citations for books typically include: the name of the author, the title of the book or article, the date of publication, and page numbers.'"' That page also provides you with details of how to reference (just type "< r e f > YOUR TEXT < / r e f >" (without the spaces - I had to put them in there otherwise it would actually create a reference like this: Cite error: There are
<ref>
tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).). The "YOUR TEXT" will then appear in the references section of the article. 88.107.14.9 (talk) 18:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:WinnieEwing.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:WinnieEwing.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Puffin Let's talk! 14:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
