I've tagged this article today, because it generally needs some copyediting, to cure the redlinks and so forth that are present. Furthermore, the final section has inappropriate formatting and needs Wikifying better. Also, the page does not cite any sources and requires them, as not to infringe on Wikipedia's verifiability standards. I'll start work on this, but please feel free to contribute to improve the article as noted above. --M0RHI | Talk to me 13:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
It is not very notable. It was drafted by a political party which currently have 1% of the popular vote according to opinion polls and was almost exclusively signed by their supporters. It was just another childish publicity stunt from the Scottish Socialist Party. They went for an easy headline by boycotting the visit of the queen and holding their own event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.213.71 (talk • contribs)
Following on from my research, to satisfy the section above, I've added a notability tag to either encourage contributions, or to create debate on the worthiness of this article. My reasons are:
There either needs to be expansion of this article, in my opinion, to include the above-mentioned reference and sources, and particularly, its impact around the time, and continuing impact. Hopefully someone can save this article, else it could be better merged into Scottish independence. If not, it could sadly be the subject of an AfD. --M0RHI | Talk to me 13:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I have searched The Guardian for mention of this, and linked the article. I think it is an important stage in the Independence movement and was surprised to find no article on the English wikipedia, so I created one. There is a small article on the Scots Wikipedia. I will work on this more soon.Boleslaw 17:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)DB
The primary problem with this article is that the full text of the declaration is given in a rather fugly and unwikified way. The solution then, surely, is to move the text of the declaration to Wikisource and link it? Cynical 22:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
