Breakage edit
There's no mention of any Scottish criticism of their breaking the Stone, or of any regret from them about that fact. Is this an accurate reflection of the response? Salopian (talk) 23:09, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Portrayal in popular culture edit
I think it should be mentioned that the Stone of Destiny is the subject of 2 episodes in the TV series Hamish Macbeth, in season 3. Perhaps someone with more expertise than I can add this. 172.83.175.56 (talk) 18:39, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
Page title edit
I reverted this undiscussed move. Feel free to discuss the merits of the page name on this page. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:23, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Removal? edit
Surely it is POV to describe a heist which involved multiple breaches of the law as a mere "removal". The entire article seems to be written from a partisan fringe viewpoint rather than as an encyclopaedia entry about a crime. TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 19:24, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- It's not up to us editors to describe the event as "theft" or a "heist". How do reliable sources describe it? The ones I've seen use more neutral words like "removal". Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:13, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- 30 seconds of searching on Google shot that down in flames. [1][2][3]. Just because the perpetrators of a heist were not prosecuted (because their intention was to get jailed, and the government didn't want to give them the oxygen of publicity) does not detract from the nature of the circumstance as a crime and its just pussyfooting around it to fail to appropriately describe and categorise it.

- Moving the page would be potentially controversial, so I suggest you go through the process at WP:PCM so that other editors can come to a politically balanced or more neutral view on this. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:01, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
