[edit] Etymology

Some folks (plainly those Danes and Norwegians) mistake the name of Stenhousemuir to indicate its having been founded by Vikings. Infact, "muir" is a scots word for moor (I just checked my excessively detailed scots dictionary, and it has only that meaning) where the scots word for wall is "dyke" (yes, like dutch). I guess the Norsk/Dansk word comes from latin's murus (wall), so the similarity to muir is accidental. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 12:35, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Just wanted to point out to the person who keeps adding the apparent nicknames "the Norwegians, "the Norsk" and "the Vikings" that Stenhousemuir FC have never been nicknamed any of the above. "The Warriors" will do nicely. Also, creating links to "the Warriors" film isn't exactly useful. Talk 19:55, 11 Apr 2007

[edit] Question

"1964: Summer……Rangers FC reveal a plan to remove the Warriors from the league, along with four other clubs." - what was that all about then....? ChrisTheDude 11:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Warriors Badge.jpg

Image:Warriors Badge.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
