Can someone explain why has the Grierson Wikipedia entry has turned into a MacGregor page?

I only added statements which did not claim anything as fact. It was merely food for thought. I've removed anything too bold so as to keep the limelight on Clan Grierson. I feel, since Grierson is MY name, I have the right and duty to record the oral history passed down throughout my family for many generations. Although it isn't written fact, it is still history and every patch of history (whether a proven or unproven statement) deserves a place among the archives of mankind. There just needs to be a fine line between fact and belief.

This is the story of my Clan as it was passed down for hundreds of years. The story goes as far as to say that we wore the MacGregor tartan when it came into existence, but some of these statements I chose to leave out. If you see any other problems with what has been left on the page please let me know, but thank you for not deleting my work and allowing me to change it.

Do you realise that the Grierson's were never ever a Clan? You have added 'Clan' eight times on this Grierson family entry. Clans are from the Highlands and Islands and not the Lowlands and Borders of Scotland. By wiping out all references to the "Family" you are simply refuelling this common misunderstanding. ps. When you also take into account that Wikipedia has added the term Clan as a suffix to every Scottish name, it rather proves that Wikipedia is full of opinions and beliefs but all to often short on real facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumfrieslion (talk • contribs) 11:36, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

You might find this Map a useful resource in understanding the locations of Scottish Clans http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/clanmap.htm - Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumfrieslion (talk • contribs) 11:42, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
