"Exact Copy"[edit]

Exact means exact. Similar means similar.

This is NOT an exact copy of Cockpen and Carrington. Use your eyes. The top ten metres is pretty exact but even then not quite... but the second storey window tracery is completely different.

Is it not true that Wikipedia should be ACCURATE? Why then change this from an accurate version to a misrepresentation?

I have re-edited to try to keep some of your nuance but make it a bit more accurate in terms of the facts--Stephencdickson (talk) 10:37, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

The amendment of 6-10-11 made reference to the church as a whole, rather than the tower in detail and in isolation, so I have changed the order of the sentence to hopefully alleviate the potential for ambiguity. The citation is an article in the Scots magazine by Robin Mitchell, who was minister there from 1954. He says "The present church at Kilconquhar was built in 1820. It is an exact copy of the church at Cockpen, in Midlothian, except that it is larger.". I'm not sure if you you still disagree with Mitchell, knowing now he is referring to the church as a whole, so this may no longer be an issue for you but even if he is talking rubbish, as it is from a reliable published source it is verifiable rubbish. In WP policy verifiability does come ahead of accuracy and this is central. Mutt Lunker (talk) 19:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1Pronunciation;2Largoward[edit]

1 Local pronunciation; Kinuchur with stress on first 'u'. Both 'u's as in 'duck' . from Anstruther. 2 Kilconquhar is where events took place; Largoward, a few miles NW, is where many of the records were kept for those same events. 2604:3D09:A7E:7B00:3D04:5855:452E:D4F5 (talk) 05:08, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
