Stovies

Not sure why you reverted my edit on stovies. My copy was based on etymologies in various print and online dictionaries and the fact that the Scots word was in use (albeit with a slightly different meaning) before the modern French word étuvé developed. For example, the Chambers Dictionary (which is Scottish) states that ‘stovies’ comes from ‘stove’. Billtkd (talk) 18:53, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Billtkd, the appropriate place to discuss an article is the article talk page. If you want to discuss it further, please do so there but my answer would be that you removed material supported by what are clearly reliable sources, McNeill and Collins. They may or may not be wrong but they are reliable, and it is Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth that counts. You provided a personal opinion in your edit summary but no citations in support.
