Please could you also have a look at the James Macpherson article. I think it needs a bit of work, to bring it up to the comprehensiveness of other major poets. Sources would be nice.

Also, have you checked out Scottish Wikipedians' notice board yet?--Mais oui! 13:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Request for review. Please have a look at:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2005_December_14

Scottish Literature and co-choisiche

Scottish highland dance links
I have just started an attempt to raise the Highland games article to Wikipedia good article status (a lot of de-mythologizing needed!). As a first step in this process, I am trying to reconcile the link targets in the dance section of that article with the link targets in the Scottish highland dance article. Most are red links at present. One problem I have is where to direct the link for Flora McDonald's fancy. The British Association of Teachers of Dance spells the name McDonald, but the Wikipedia article is titled Flora Macdonald. What is the correct spelling? I think the dance link should go to Flora McDonald (dance) (or whatever the correct spelling is). JFPerry 16:24, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Scottish Gaelic
You wrote: 'As latest research from O'Buachalla and O'Maolalaigh show, Scottish Gaelic (as a member of "Eastern Gaelic") was an independent branch by the "Old Irish/Gaelic" period'. Can you provide that reference? Given the large number of sound changes that Scottish Gaelic shares in common with Manx and Old Irish, it seems highly unlikely that it broke off from them any earlier than the Middle Irish period.

You have an admirer
You are part of a conspiracy Michael, see User talk:No More POV Please. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 00:38, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Update, the last user was a sockpuppet of User:Bluegold. I listed him on WP:CheckUser, and he was found guilty of 7 counts of sockpuppetry. He is now trying to get revenge, and has is accusing me of having you as a sockpuppet: Requests_for_CheckUser. He has also posted the same allegation on Wikipedia talk:Irish Wikipedians' notice board, and by the time you get this, will probably be posting it elsewhere. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 17:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

User:AlexNewArtBot
Hi, as a WikiProject Scotland participant, please check out this  this thread and consider adding the bot results page to your watchlist so we can manually update the New Articles page. There are some false results for the first batch, but I'm sure we can collectively tune the rules to improve the output.

If we get enough people watching the results page, we'll be cooking with gas as they say :)  This looks like a great helper in finding new Scotland related material. Cheers. -- Cactus.man   &#9997;  22:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Your upload of File:BruceNancyWayne.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

File permission problem with File:BruceNancyWayne.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:BruceNancyWayne.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. czar 06:40, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
