Scotch Professors
[edit]Your removal of directly referenced evidence from the page on Scotch professors is not consistent with Wikipedia's philosophy. The references are all easily accessible: I got them with 5 clicks from the British Library website. Anybody can access them there (although, if you are not part of a UK academic institution, I think they may charge).
What do you mean by the message below?
(rv. given the choice between reliable contemporary, expert sources which state unequivocally that it originated with Queens and an uncheckable reference which sounds very much like OR il take former)
I suspect that you do not like the fact that your football club were not the first to develop passing. The "unequivocal" sources you mention have not considered the evidence that you have deleted, presumably for the same reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinigi (talk • contribs) 13:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Gaelic British Isles
[edit]First and foremost, the map isn't completely accurate yet. I noticed three obvious problems with it immediately after uploading it (the Gaelic speaking colonies on northern Cornish coastline are missing, the northern green area on Skye is too small for the limit I set (40%+), and the extent of Ogham stones in Wales truely covers much more of the south of the country than that map currently indicates), but havent been able to find the time to correct it since. In Scotland in the green areas, 40%+ had a knowledge of Gaelic in Scotland according to the 2001 UK census. In the Republic of Ireland in the green areas, 40%+ classified themselves as daily speakers in thr Republic of Ireland according to the 2006 census. I did this because if you were to raise the cut off point to 50%, it would look as thought there was no Irish spoken in Meath, Waterford, Tiree or southern Skye. The most Gaelic speaking areas of Northern Ireland lie between 30-40%. I could change the limit if you wish. I wouldn't mind in the slightest. I am aware that in the Linguistic Study on the use of Irish in the Gaeltacht (Staidéar Teangeolaíoch ar úsáid na Gaeilge sa Ghaeltacht, 2008) that three zones of Gaeltacht were recommended; A (67%+), B (44-66%), agus C (30-43%). Donncha Ó hÉallaithe has done fabulous work on this issue over the past decade, and there's a heck of alot of info at www.anghaeltacht.net. (Although none/very little of it is in English.) But, this sytem would be too complex for this map. I have been planning in doing provincial maps of Ireland based on the afore mentioned reports findings (for use on the dialects' pages). I've already made a map of areas within Northern Ireland which are 30%+. There is however less data for Scotland. I remember up until about 2 years ago both the Scottish and Northern Irish census agencies desplayed superb data in excellent detail on their websites, but that is no longer available for Scotland, and the Northern Irish version came offline early last year due to an internet hacker scare. Many thanks for your interest. User:D.de.loinsigh (talk) 16 January 2009 05:45 —Preceding undated comment was added at 05:44, 16 January 2009 (UTC).
I see you are removing "Irish" from the name of the 'British and Irish Lions'. What is your reason for doing so, as there seems little need to such changes? PurpleA (talk) 22:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- It was "British and Irish Lions" in the 1970s, though media in Britain nearly always referred to them as 'British Lions'. I remember the name way before 2001. PurpleA (talk) 19:42, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorting out Harlaw
[edit]Hi there. Given your previous involvement with the Battle of Harlaw article, I thought I'd get in touch directly in case you're not still watching it. My efforts to start nudging it towards WP:GAN turned into a complete rewrite <g> - it's probably not much better as an article, but it is now paranoidly referenced. :-) I'm aware that there's stuff out there that I don't have access to right now - notably the Marren book - so if there's anything you can contribute on that front, that would be great. More generally, it would be great if you could just look it over for general tone - I appreciate that some of this stuff can be controversial and I'd rather establish a consensus now rather than during the WP:GA process. TIA. Le Deluge (talk) 00:30, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Ì again
[edit]As a fluent native speaker, you might wanna if you have time comment on the points raised regarding Iona and Ì at Talk:Iona#Translation. Not sure if Ak and I are agreeing, disagreeing or talking over each other here, but your guidance on Ì status as a "common noun" would be useful. I.e. if it only means Iona, or if it can actually mean island. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 02:04, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: referencing Bob Stewart
[edit]The present reference structure is incorrect, but I do not edit that because the article might be in the middle of expansion. You probably know all what I'm going to say, sorry about that:
(i) You can use only (in line) "references" or a couple "references" + "notes". The latter is reserved for long sources (books); if they occur more than once in the text, one places a book (J. Smith, ...) in "references" and in the "notes" simply writes "Smith, p.37". If that book occurs only once, it should just be cited as in-line ref.
(ii) The work by Badsey (conference) is placed in "references" but is not linked anywhere. Meanwhile, there is another work by Badsey (book) in the "Notes".
None of this will affect DYK, just my usual grumpiness .. Materialscientist (talk) 04:26, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I just took a look at the George Orwell page in the Scottish Gaelic wikipedia. It is absolutely pitiful. I know Orwell was English but surely as a Gaelic speaker you can give such a seminal writer more substance, a la Sorley MacLean, perhaps. Thanks for listening.

Hi, would you be so kind as to give us support!
[edit]Hello, I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. I've just read your profile and saw that you're an enthusiastic Scotsman (I went to Edinburgh not that long ago and I really appreciated the people and the wonderful place! Beautiful and really nice!), so I guess that this helps you understand what are a minorized language and culture and maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... I'm a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this hasn't been approved up to that moment. We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Supporting us will be like giving equal opportunity to minorized languages and cultures in the future! Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care! Keep on preserving your great culture, country and language! Mar sin leibh!Capsot (talk) 07:00, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Opera in Scotland
[edit]I have recently started the article Opera in Scotland to try and rectify a huge oversight on Wikipedia. In this article, I deal with the surprisingly numerous operas by foreigners on Scottish themes, and also the pretty dismal Scottish output of opera.
I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but I appreciate that this is culturally important, and should be addressed on here. I think you're probably one of the more clued up Scottish editors, so I'm dropping you (and one or two others) a line to see if you could offer some advice, and improve the article. Anyway, I appreciate any help you might give.--MacRùsgail (talk) 19:20, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Template:Gaelic demographics
[edit]Hi, can you have another look at Template:Gaelic demographics and check what I've done there. If I have understood the table correctly as it was, this seems to me a better way to present the information. On the other hand, if I have not understood it, then that is all the more reason why a revision along these lines is needed. I can fill in the rest of the fields with a calculator, but there is no point in doing that until you confirm that the distribution of data in my new version of the table really does reflect what was intended. --Doric Loon (talk) 10:19, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Dalriada
[edit]Hi! I created the account "Dalriada" on WP:fr on 10/02/2006. Since then, I have created 2.217 articles and made 85.134 contributions there. I have just started the "SUL process" in order to unify my accounts across the Wikimedia projects (see here). Unfortunately there is another account "Dalriada" on WP:gd (Dalriada, less than 150 contributions) which is the main obstacle preventing me to achieve the "SUL process". This account has not contributed since October 2012 and so I wonder if it is possible to "usurp" it. My account on WP:fr => Dalriada. If needed, I can of course post a message on my talkpage on WP:fr confirming this. Dalriada

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. I was wondering if you'd be interested in setting up Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Turkey), based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). Now it's not a contest in itself, it's designed to motivate people to inspire others to improve content and build something which demonstrates the hard work going into the country which is visible. The focus is more on quality improvements but new articles are welcome too. Eventually a Turkish National Contest could be created to fuel it, like Wikipedia:Awaken the Dragon, in which contestants can choose to keep the Amazon vouchers themselves to buy their own books for more articles or put them into book fund to help editors further improve Turkish-related topics by giving them the books they want. It will begin though as purely an improvement drive. If interested, or you think anybody else might be interested, alert them and sign up on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey talk page at the bottom. Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.

[edit]Hello colleague, I am interested in the Middle Ages too. I created Category:Medieval civilizations which is part of Category:Civilizations by time. The former is nominated for deletion and at the moment the vote is 2:0 in favor of deletion. I am used to deletions, but this time I am stunned. I do not believe there is no place for such a category. I believe that most people with interest in history would agree that civilizations existed in the Middle Ages. I ask people to contribute their opinion to the discussion. Regards,--Maxaxa (talk) 02:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
