It's in the source, right? edit

"King Máel Coluim seems to have believed the revolt to have some justification, as there is no evidence that any retribution was taken against either Ferchar or any of the other six Mormaers involved." This sounds like an awfully weak argument (from silence) to me, and as such should be immediately removed from the article if it is not in the sole cited source. I just want to check here that it is indeed in the scholarship and is not a piece of (maybe inadvertent) OR. 216.8.154.110 (talk) 17:04, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it's OR by Cynthia Neville (p. 19). Ideally, it would be balanced better with other assessments of the revolt, but it's just a stub/start class article. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 17:09, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
