hi. Could you please define a "proper language", as I think this has more to do with perception due to politics than linguistic definition. There is plenty of presidence for defining Scots as a seperate language (just as there is for Scottish Gaelic as opposed to Irish Gaelic). Do you not consider Afrikaans to be a seperate language from Dutch, or Norwegian seperate from Danish? If not then you can deny the definition to Scots too, but otherwise, you would have to accept the "properness" of Scots, as their equivelant in regards to English.

CSD on Legacy Of Pain
A tag has been placed on Legacy Of Pain, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 18:46, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Start hand.svg I have deleted the article. Not only was the tone too promotional for an encyclopedia article, but there were no reliable sources cited to verify the content and establish the notability of this program.

Commutativity in group-like structures
Hi there. I don't think any of the other structures have dedicated subfields of study based on commutativity alone. There are certainly special classes of them which are commutative, but Abelian group will be the only one in its column unless the other axioms that distinguish those structures are added. It's only a minimal pair for group theory. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 19:27, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

OR at Scots Wikipedia?
Hello, is there any sourced justification for claiming Scots Wikipedia is part of a "family" of four "Engish/Inglis" wikis, or is that just a personal categorisation of those Wikis? Barring any sourcing, that sounds a lot like a personal take on the matter, and honestly sounds a bit fringe/wonky and not really adding clarity to the article. Any reinforcement for the claim, or objections to it being removed? MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:02, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

In terms of sources for the listing of those four English wikipedias as part of a family, there is little or no reference elsewhere. But all four of those languages themselves being part of an Anglic family of languages is well established and there are countless sources to be found thereupon. Ergo, the Scots Wikipedia IS one of four wikipedias written in an Anglic language. Your feedback is much appreciated, however I feel you may be taken the principle of providing references to an absurd extreme. In response I have removed the OR tag, and included a link to the "English languages" wikipedia page. I hope this is sufficient to appease your concern. - R160K (talk) 08:00, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Not really, English (Inglis) language "family" is not a "reference", it's a wikilink, and it doesn't do anything to prove your other assertions about Scots, a 4-dialect "family", mutual intelligibility, etc. Frankly, it's just bringing up contentious issues about what Scots is and its role in English, which is really outside of the main topic of Scots Wiki itself. No need to muddy the waters, and the conception of four main "Inglis" (and where did you even get that from?) great Wikis just seems like a personal concept rather than an inarguable point. I'm just not seeing how that addition adds any clarity, and could just add confusion. I still suggest removing it. MatthewVanitas (talk) 12:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The wikilink itself cites several references, and there are countless sources (both in print and online) which refer to the "Anglic languages", derived from "Anglo-Frisian languages" which are in turn derived from the "Ingvaeonic languages", themselves an offshoot of the "West Germanic languages", part of the Indo-European language family. The point I was making on the Scots wikipedia page was NOT that it and the other three were part of some Anglic wikipedia project; it was merely that it is one of four wikipediae written in an Anglic language. Perhaps the "mutual intelligibility" claim is rather arbitrary (for example Spanish and Portuguese could be said to be mutually intelligible to a degree, but much less so when compared with Danish and Norwegian). I concede also that its inclusion may give the impression that there is some sort of project linking the four wikipediae. I am therefore happy to edit the page. However the basic claim, that "the Scots wikipedia is one of four wikipediae written in an Anglic language (the others being etc.)", is not only readily sourceable, but also justifiably relevant to a reader, and for that reason I feel it should not be removed altogether. I will however modify the page to remove the mutual intelligibility claim, and I hope this is adequate to satisfy. - R160K (talk) 08:33, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * P.S. In response to your confusion, "Inglis" is the old Scots word for English (referring to the language), and was also used to refer to Scots at a time when "Scots" meant Scottish Gaelic.
