Talk:Stenton

Photo request
I may have one. I shall look. I am only just a new editor and I do not know how to load photos. So far I have looked at other articles in order to udnerstand links etc., but photos seem rather difficult to work out! David Lauder 14:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC),
 * I have a good photo of Beil House before it was reduced. David Lauder 19:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Additional content request
The trouble with copying wodges of stuff from guidebooks and gazeteers, as this appears to be, is that so much is now wrong, or supposition, or irrelevant toff-licking, concentrating on landowners, rather than being about people and the place as it is.86.159.129.62 (talk) 12:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks but much of what is written here is the history of Stenton. I contributed much and I assure you it is not "wodges from guidebooks or gazeteers", although the latter, in Scotland, tend to be excellent. Wikipedia requires sources to be shown. Until very recently the feudal system relating to superiorities and landowners remained an important feature of our country and also of its past. The land, its owners and the villages etc., were all tied together. There is nothing stopping you making a contribution as to Stenton today, with your sources of course. But you cannot detach our country from its history. Regards, David Lauder (talk) 16:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * No one's stopping anyone from adding valid info. If certain content is lacking, simply do the work of supplying it rather than bashing others for what they contributed. This also helps prove an exception to the general truth that often the anons who make bitter complaints about a lack of a certain bit of content don't actually bother to contribute it themselves. — ¾-10 02:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
