It has now changed.
- What has now changed? The article still looks very similar to that on the website, certainly similar enough to violate the author's copyrights if he or she objects to you putting it here. Do you have permission from whoever wrote or owns copyright on the article? -- Aim Here 19:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
I have made a number of changes to the Clan Sinclair page.
- Firstly, none of the names, dates or places were linked to the wiki articles that exist for them.
- Secondly, Some of the information concerning the battles was erroneous. Where fixed, I have tried to include a source.
- Thirdly, I have fixed typos and grammatical inconsistencies wherever I uncovered them.
- Finally, I had created a wiki page for Castle Sinclair & Girnigoe, and so the information presented here about that castle was rendered redundant. I have changed that section to be a general discussion of casltes and other places related to the clan.

The Sinclair family did not acquire the title of Earls of Orkney until the later 14th Century.
[edit] March 1st edits by 86.146.48.147
While I take this user's edits to be in good faith attempts to improve this article, not vandalize it, it seems as if his/her bias is to replace any use of "clan" to "family", perhaps due to some perceived negative connotation of the word clan. Not being close to an expert on the topic, I won't revert all 9 changes, but I will say, there are multiple links at the bottom that go to "clan" Sinclair sites and in those links valid information and even more references to the "clan" Sinclair, therefore it would seem to me that Clan Sinclair is a proper term to be used through the article. If anyone else would like to discuss the edits made (especially the user that made them) and potentially reverting them, please chime in. Jason Leach 00:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
