Citations
The Information on Sir William Oliphant's life i have used from te Clan Oliphant page, yet i am unsure how/if it can be referenced, if at all. A google search for more citations off-site was unsuccessful. New-Imperial-England (talk)
- You can't cite from Wikipedia, see WP:CIRCULAR. You can borrow text (I have just borrowed some more), but it still needs supporting sources. The most likely sources will be books covering the period of the Wars of Independence, Robert Bruce, etc, there are plenty available. Regards, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 10:28, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Two Sir William Oliphants
Just to explain, as it is right now this article combines the facts of two Sir William Oliphants, who were cousins, and who were both at Sterling; one commanding, the other the second in command. Most of the article is about the younger cousin who signed the Declaration of Arbroath so I'll need to remove information regarding the elder cousin. I mention this so anyone editing hereafter is aware of this and doesn't inadvertently add information concerning the elder cousin back into the article.

- Also, this is going to require a name change to differentiate between the two William Oliphants. I can create the second article unless someone else wants to. Will need a disambiguation page. Bearpatch (talk) 01:05, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
