Archibald Douglas, 1st Baron Douglas
You might consider re-visiting your edit. Do you mean latter, or later? I wonder if the 'Douglas History Archive' refers to Douglashistory.co.uk, and whether it is appropriate to include that reference here. Shipsview (talk) 14:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes thanks for catching that typo - much appreciated. I believe the reference was to the actual Douglas History Archives rather than the website mentioned. Here is the original by Archie Mcarthur, Past President of Glasgow Masonic Burns Club that I based it on. http://www.robertburnsunlimited.co.uk/burnsfuneral.html "During my research into the funeral I had some problems with the actual name of the Angusshire Fencible regiment that attended the funeral, as there were two regiments that could have been in attendance. I found that the two regiments were the: 1. Angusshire Regiment of Fencible Infantry commanded by Colonel Angus Douglas (1794 - 1802) 2. Angus Volunteers Company of Fencible Men commanded by Major Cmdt. John Frazer (1794 - 1799)

I have received information from the Douglas History Archive that it was the latter regiment that was at the funeral." - Thanks again, HistoryBuff2 (talk) 20:17, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wonderful Grand Band, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greg Malone. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
Hi, WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
