Please see [[Talk:List of tartans#Inclusion criteria]], a proposal for a three-point list of inclusion criteria. There are at least 7000 tartans and we cannot account for them all in a single article. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''']] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] 😼 </span> 20:44, 13 March 2020 (UTC) |

Scoti
Various IPs and a new user have been making the same edit to the lede of Scoti, which involves removing cited text. They have finally engaged at talk but have continued with the edits. Edits by the same editor/s appear to have, at the least, a point to prove, which makes me wonder whether the edit at Scoti is dubious or undue. Do others with more knowledge of the factual aspects have a view? Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:11, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Geographic question: "Kenilworth, Scotland"?
I'm trying to track down the birth place of actress Kitty Loftus (Q82601043): Some sources state her birth place as "Kenilworth, Scotland" (e.g. encyclopedia.com), while others simply state "Kenilworth" (Who's Who in the Theatre), which might imply the town in Warwickshire, England. At least one other source states her birth place as "Whitecliffe, Gloucs." Loftus is sometimes described as an "English actress". Can anyone confirm that there is (or was) a place called "Kenilworth, Scotland" (or for that matter, "Whitecliffe, Gloucestershire")? Thanks, --Animalparty! (talk) 20:34, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- If there is a settlement in Scotland called Kenilworth, the Ordnance Survey 1:50 000 doesn't list it. Perhaps she was born above the Kenilworth pub in Rose Street in Edinburgh? Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:29, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
- There's a Kenilworth in Calderwood, East Kilbride but there's not much to it. In the 1800s it was just fields and I'm not sure how it got its name today either. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 16:55, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I'm beginning to suspect that a Scottish origin for Kitty Loftus is an error, possibly confused with actresses Marie Loftus (Q69718083) and her daughter Cecilia Loftus (Q980144), both of whom are from Glasgow and lived about the same time as Kitty. --Animalparty! (talk)
- As to how it got its name: it's not uncommon for places in Scotland to take their names from the novels of Sir Walter Scott – in this case, Kenilworth (1821). Opera hat (talk) 14:37, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Someone put a tag on the Good Article Dál Riata last year to indicate that it is written like an essay. It's not an area that I know anything about, but if the tag is correct perhaps it should be demoted from GA? Espresso Addict (talk) 05:06, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon
Hi. The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs! Even if "contests" aren't your thing, think of it as motivation to improve our content! Hope to see a lot of articles improved as part of this, there is a £50 prize for most Scotland articles destubbed!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:22, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
