Description
This article would cover all Fife-related articles such as places, famous people, museums, football and rugby clubs and churches to name a few. Examples would be: Kirkcaldy, Andrew Carnegie, Adam Smith, Dunfermline Abbey, Dunfermline Athletic, The Old Course and Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery. This could also help support articles that really do need a lot of work while keeping general maintenance. Examples would be: Methil, Dunfermline, Cupar and a lot of the smaller towns such as Kennoway and Lower Largo.

Oldest Course
The page for golf clames that "The oldest course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh." Which course is older? —David618 00:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The Musselburgh course is actually the oldest golf course in the world, this article is mistaken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.172.76.203 (talk) 23:00, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I concur, Musselburgh is the oldest course, the sources for the claim on the front page are highly suspect. Whereas Musselburgh has the Guinness book of records supporting their claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.217.240.141 (talk) 21:47, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I will reduce the claim on this page to "one of the oldest courses in the world", given that reference [1] states that Musselburgh is considered older. DWorley (talk) 15:42, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Plagiarism?
The paragraph at the end of the Features section reads like a travelogue, not an encyclopedia article; indeed, it appears to be taken almost verbatim from http://www.standrews.org.uk/About-Us/History.aspx. Chris La Mantia (talk) 23:34, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

(I see that this was recently added, so I've just removed the plagiarized content.) Chris La Mantia (talk) 23:37, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
