[edit] Original Research

"In Scotland the term Anglo-Scot, sometimes shortened to Anglo, is used to refer to people born in, brought-up in, or long-term resident in England who have significant Scottish ancestry." Is it? Says who? If the answer is "a reliable source" then cite it! We don't accept "Trust me I'm a doctor" here. All information added to wikipedia must be verified. Right now, this article is entirely original research. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought.

The only reference I have been able to find was this http://www.scotland.com/forums/sport/23160-scottish-olympic-team-5.html and that is basically just a board with some people arguing about this term. Unless someone can come up with a solid reference I say delete it. The number of relevant Google hits is very low anyway. MartinDK 10:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
