Talk:Walter Scott (scholar)

Nationality
An IP user changed Scott's nationality to Australian on the grounds that he has an entry in the Dictionary of Australian Biography and none in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. However the DAB entry is due to his having been a professor at Sydney, and one can be English without having an entry in the ODNB. In fact, he was English (from Devon): see Alumni Oxonienses: the members of the University of Oxford, 1715-1886.Uthor (talk) 22:17, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
