You haven't defined the "free will" in your article.
If we will define "free will" as an infinite possibilities not limited by anything than "free will" doesn't exist. Give a definition first and then we can have a serious dispute about that.
If your statement in that actions are influenced by something than you're right. Someone should be an idiot to state the opposite. But influence does not equal determine.
Indeed I haven't. perhaps that was a mistake. Here it is
Definition: Free will is the assumption that human beings can take actions or make decisions independent of environmental stimuli.

It's not a definition. Let me rephrase.
"Free will is the ability of human being to take actions or make decisions independent of environmental stimuli."
Agree?

Next you should define what is environmental stimuli.
For example,
Environmental stimuli (in cognitive neuroscience) refers to pictures or objects one sees in daily life presented in laboratory experiments to create the feeling of viewing natural images.
We need some consistent basis that won't allow much room for different interpretations.

Environmental stimuli involves the perceptual and biological input a human interacts with either directly or indirectly — such as via language, impressions, experiences, bacteria, drugs and weather

Good. Let's go next.
Is that all that environmental stimuli involves?
What is perceptual input?
What is biological input?
What do you mean by indirectly? Does it means that if have ever had any experience from external input than you're affected?
How to estimate dependency or independency between acting, decision making and environmental stimuli?
P.s Some questions can arise concerning sensory deprivation. How to consider actions and decisions influenced by sensory deprivation?

more or less yes.
Yes for example there was a study that found that many rape victims simply imagined the situation due to the terminology and group influence of other feminists.
Everything we do is dependent on environmental stimuli. It is impossible to be any other way. Hence why no free will.
Biggest question. Several pieces of research show that our memories are not even ours. We mix them up and reconstruct events based on current events and idea.

If it's taken so your definition of free will is false. Surely. My congratulations, you've debunked your own monster)))
Surely, i'm joking. As you could understand i'm not a proponent of the given definition in any way. Same way of thoughts by the way.

Thanks for the link, but i prefer to read from original sources. Mostly the pop-sci articles appears after some considerable delay. There is much more you can get from scientific databases. Citations, similar and related articles. Without ads and all this commercial shit you know. A big quantity of articles are free of charge. When they are not than goes google and pop-sci))) And the most thing about that is that you can know methodology that was used and what criteria and data analysis lead to conclusions. As you have stated earlier not every study is real study.
I prefer to read papers from:
https://researchgate.net
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
http://www.jneurosci.org/
and so on...
