St Hilda Sea Adventures: Notable or not?
I found this article after looking to see if there was an article for the ship St Hilda. I'm unsure if it's notable or not; I thought the ship (which doesn't have an article) might be, but I'm less sure about the company. Does anybody have any advice on this? 92.24.246.11 (talk) 16:10, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
- I would support the company and its ships meeting Wikipedia:Notability guidelines on their existing page, however I don't think the individual ship would warrant its own article. She is certainly a nice example of a Scottish ketch but I don't think notable enough for a separate article, as the references are mostly commercial/tourism related in nature.

- @LordHarris: Thanks :) 92.24.246.11 (talk) 21:01, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- @LordHarris: FYI, the article has ended up at AfD. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 22:56, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. I had a go at tidying up the article/adding references to see if it can be kept. LordHarris (talk) 08:44, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Source for date of death for David Anderson (judge)
Hi all. I am currently working on expanding Deaths in 1995 by adding and sourcing all articles in Category:1995 deaths. I can't find a source that verifies his date of death on 31 December 1995. If anyone is able to locate one, please ping me. Thanks.4meter4 (talk) 14:24, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- 4meter4 would this do? This also lists a 1995 death, though just the year CiphriusKane (talk) 21:28, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Census localities
I am tracking the census localities with User:Crouch, Swale/Scotland for changes as well as User:Crouch, Swale/Scotland BUA (A-E), User:Crouch, Swale/Scotland BUA (F-M) and User:Crouch, Swale/Scotland BUA (N-Z). The 1st is useful because I can check the newer list on City Population and compared them to the older one with "show changes". The 2nd lists are useful for checking if articles get deleted or merged incorrectly since they will then show up as red links, or in my case green links for redirects. There are 4 missing articles:
Which are OS settlements and there is also one that isn't an OS settlement:
The most recently created articles were Comrie, Fife (2020), Netherburn (2019) and Carstairs Junction (2019). Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:11, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- I don't know of a Marywell in Banchory-Devenick. Do you mean Marywell in Portlethen? I understand it was treated as a separate locality for the first time at the last census, whereas previously it was included with the rest of Portlethen. There's not much there of interest, and I don't think it merits an article in its own right - at present it doesn't even get a mention in the main Portlethen article. Although we presently have separate articles for some parts of Portlethen, such as Findon, Downies, Portlethen Village, these are arguably the more historic parts. Hillside and Marywell are mostly modern developments, and are probably best covered in the main article on Portlethen. --Hrossey (talk) 22:26, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- "Marywell" near Portlethen, "Banchory-Devenick" is the name of the civil parish as there are 2 in Aberdeenshire[1]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:29, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
- Crouch, Swale – I will endeavour to update {{Scottish locality populations}} and {{Scottish settlement populations}} with the new data when I have a chance. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 21:41, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, on closer inspection of the City Population website it seems that the 2020 figures are estimates for the best-fit datazones, not the locality populations themselves. I think we should stick to the official data for the time being, even if it's a few years out if date – the intervals for settlement/locality estimates seem to be every four years (the last two were 2012 and 2016), so hopefully there is a new release due some time soon. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 21:47, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, it it possible to work out which ones don't have the template transcluded, this may show a missing article, the template needs to be added or perhaps the place isn't notable. I've only used the City Population website but if the official data is more reliable the use that. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:51, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Project on Loch Ness
Over the next week, there is going to be a work project on Loch Ness by the Wikipedia Discord server as part of an attempt to get Loch Ness to B-class and we would appreciate your help. They are trying to get all vital articles to B-class. (Oinkers42) (talk) 00:13, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Highland Clearances
Hi, i'm concerned that the Highland Clearances article has been rewritten with too much of a revisionist point of view favouring the landowners' justifications of their actions. Copy of my comments on the article talkpage: "It seems one editor, @ThoughtIdRetired: has rewritten this article and changed it's point of view significantly from the 2018 version here so that the views and justifications of the landlords are given a much greater prominence. There have been many contradicting edits in the page history which the said editor has reverted. Most of the sources are offline but the Brittania Encyclopedia shows a very different interpetation, see here - the Brittanica article was recently revised by the manager of the history section. Am hoping to discuss the article with a local history export in the next week or so, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 01:36, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reading and comparing the difference article from 2018 and the article of now, I would agree the article has definitely been edited heavily towards a certain historical perspective. Also, potentially concerning is that the references have been reduced down from 67 to 51 in that time. It may be just cleanup but still I think it would warrant a closer look from some other editors with a better knowledge of the Clearances. As a general reader, I found the last paragraph of the lead almost anti-NPOV. I also observed the article is heavy on several references but no page numbers are given to support such a large body of cited text from a few sources. Coldupnorth (talk) 08:33, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
