Hey thanks
Thanks for the additions to Siege of Leith. I knew nothing about it Monday, but here in Edinburgh yesterday I had a go at starting it. I had given up hope as its a trickier subject then I though but you have put some flesh on the bones. I'd like to take this to front page in next few days under joint authorship, but it only has one ref. Do you have a ref for your additions? Victuallers (talk) 15:21, 17 March 2010 (UTC) I've tried to add some refs as we need at least one per para for the front page. I'm trying to find the English and French commanders .... Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset?? and ??? Any ideas? Victuallers (talk) 17:24, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Siege of Leith
Thanks for your additions to the above. I see it has been assessed by MilHIst. I wrote a related article on South Leith Parish Church if you get bored and care to copyedit. I'm hoping that one will be part of April 1 main page. (ie find a pew in a church ....) Victuallers (talk) 16:07, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

ISLES Project
Hi Jonathan, ISLES is a project of major importance to the energy future of the UK and Ireland, if not Europe. It's in its infancy, though, work on the study only having started in Feb. 2010 and the website a relatively new creation. That would explain why there aren't that many li nks to us but do give us a chance! What you said about it appears, on paper, to be fair but the points I make (as ISLES project manager) are equally valid. As work progresses, key messsges will emerge and ISLES will gain in prominence. If you want a ref. to how important it is in governmental circles in the UK and Ireland, doesn't the official ISLES website make that clear? And see the foll. reference to the official launch of the project by three energy ministers in Jan. 2010: (http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2010/01/08101417) Will I add that into the article as a way of beefing it up? All the best, bigpad (talk) 12:26, 27 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for update Jonathan; will dig out some links to ISLES and keep sit elive. bigpad (talk) 12:39, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

RSAMD
Hi Jonathan Are you sure that RSAMD and SAC did not obtain university status after 1992? If its because they didn't adopt the actual title University when they crossed the binary divide, let's not forget that Cranfield Institute of Technology had University status long before it adopted the title University (and would still have it and its degree-awarding powers even if it never changed its name). The various London University "Colleges" (Kings / Imperial etc.) might count as other examples. Scotland doesn't always follow naming conventions common in England and the polytechnic-to-University name switch may not have been copied north of the border Zagubov (talk) 23:18, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply Jonathan. I'm confused now about what a UK university actually is. The comment about the Scottish Agr. Coll suggests it can grant its own taught degrees and is on its way to university status, as if it is in the university sector without claiming to have complete university status.
 * Does that imply it has to get its research degrees certified by another university in the way university colleges do/used to do? In that case are there actually two distinct types of HE establishments: Universities ( validating research and taught degrees) and University Colleges (getting at least some degrees validated elsewhere)? This has big implications for some articles - any idea where to check this out? Zagubov (talk) 11:23, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a 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 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) 17:38, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

weird but true
Hi, i reverted your "fix" of 2 See-also-type links at Preston House dab page just now. It's weird but true that linking to "Dabname (disambiguation)" rather than "Dabname" is preferred now. The policy/guideline relevant is wp:INTDABLINK. Thanks for caring! --doncram (talk) 14:09, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Scottish map
Obersache has a long standing obsession to revert every relief map and reinsert plain plastic looking ones. He does it for everywhere. He's reverted all of my attempts to make relief maps when they often look for better. The consensus at WP:Scotland is for relief maps right? All of us seem to agree on it, myself included. This is why the old green map was replaced with a new relief map. If he persists ever report him for 3RR or revert him. I'll revert him wherever I can too. He needs to learn to respect consensus.

Signyred (talk) 04:01, 19 November 2010 (UTC) Many thanks Jonathan for your helpful comments and revision of the entry I started for Thomas Arthur Lodge. It is now far better than my original, as you say, largely plagiarised effort. I really didn't know a great deal about him; it was just that my son has received a lot of treatment this year in the hospital he designed in Birmingham and my main aim has been to try and improve the entry for that. Best wishes John Edwards

Reston, Scottish Borders.
Good Morning Jonathan, I have just read the article on the above subject and on the section, 'Population and History', the author must be either, stupid or having a laugh. The section is 100% erroneous and should completely erased. Reston, Zombie attack? total nonsense. The worst thing that ever happened in Reston was the closing of the railway and they have never been attacked by Zombies nor tanks. There was some nonsense of talk of such an attack in Reston VA but not Reston in the Borders. Would you delete that or shall I? After the New Year, I shall insert a new, correct history of the place.

Wishing you a happy and peaceful New Year.
