Talk:Battle of Methven

Argyll and Lorne
The Macdougall lords of Argyll should not be cross-referenced to the later dukes of Argyll. There is not the least connection between the two. Rcpaterson 20:46, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Battle of Methven article is meant to be an impartial historical record. It has clearly been written with a pro-bruce slant in the style of a school history report. Encyclopedia's represent fact and should be a concise record. The whole article has been presented in terms of the positives that can be drawn for Bruce... It was a defeat and should be recorded as that.

While it seems that a defeat can be portrayed as a step towards ultimate victory in an encyclopedia article, the overly-dramatic portrayal of events detracts from the gravitas one expects from a reference work.

Neutrality Dispute
Since the neutrality of this article was disputed - more than two years ago - there have been a lot of alterations made. I see nothing remaining in it that strikes me as being particularly biassed. Nothing has appeared on the Discussion Page since May 2006, so there seems to be no ongoing dispute. I have therefore removed the POV tag. If anyone else sees anything objectionable still in the article, then by all means restore the POV tag. But let us not tag it and then leave it unattended for another two years (!)
