Scottish clan may wear a Scottish crest badge, the actual
crest and
motto within the badge are the sole property of their
chief?

I added a list of crests and mottoes used in crest badges. But it might make the article too long. Should it be turned into a stand alone list, with a link to it on this page?--

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the Introduction section, this sentence ---> "There are several established clans which do not have a chief recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. In such cases. clan members usually wear a crest badge which contains the crest and motto of the last known chief", a period is between "cases" and "clan", that needs to be fixed.
I changed it to comma, is that OK?--

The article tends to have "red links", if they don't have articles, it would be best to un-link them, per
here. When reading in the Clan chiefs section, there are 3 edit buttons that do not let me read the second line in the section. It might be my browser, but, is that suppose to happen?
Red-links removed. The images were causing me problems too. I have made them smaller, and re-ordered them. So now they appear in the sections, though don't have captions. I'm not sure they need them tho, since they fit perfectly in their section, and it'd be impossible for someone to mistake one for another.--

A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline:
It would be best if the book sources use {{cite book}} template.
OK, as of now i've got all sources in the "Footnotes" section. The book sources use a shortened form, which can be easily looked up in the "References" section below it to see the full book reference. I have it like this cause i think its easier and faster to make sense of them if they are shortened. Also, if one needs the isbn or publisher or whatever, they can just look it up a couple lines below in the "References" section. A few FAs use this system, like
Stigand. I added a "Notes" section above these sections to separate the notes from the bare footnotes which are really only sources.--

It works fine. I would've recommended using the {{Harvard citation}}, I've used it and its very fast to use. But, the book format is fine. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 16:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)reply
B.
Reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
Thank you to Celtus for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 16:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)reply
tell me again, tell me again, tell me again!
I'm not acquainted with {{#tag:ref}}. Is there a way, as with <ref>, to avoid multiple copies of the same footnote? —

Also, how many times does the page need to say that "there is no such thing as a 'clan crest'"? —

took article back
a huge amounts of changes were added, images were added deleted etc...many of these changes were unreferenced and added information was not in references given. I took a bold step and rolled back to 7 june. My thinking is that the editors who made the changes:
User:97.82.45.48 and
User:Wyvren were using the changes to pursue an agenda expressed at
Talk:Akins. Yours ever,
