Welcome! ''Fàilte!'' ''Walcome!'' This is a '''notice board for Scottish Wikipedians, Wikipedians living in Scotland, and anyone else interested in Scotland-related topics'''. Here we may suggest topics or articles in need of expansion; highlight linguistic discussions; propose common projects; ask questions; or post anything else related to
Scotland, Scottish people or things, or of interest for Scottish editors.
If there is anything you wonder about regarding Wikipedia or this notice board, don't hesitate to ask on the talk page. Also, major structural changes to the notice board should be discussed at the talk page first. Note that this page is modelled on other similar pages; see the
Swedish_Wikipedians'_notice_board for tips on use and formats; and it runs alongside many other notice boards (see sidebar below).

Cellardyke on the Main Page today? And
did you know that this is the
2nd 3rd time that he has managed to get a Scotland-related article onto ''

===New stuff===
Please note that none of our subpages make any claim to being remotely comprehensive: they are not, because it would be far too time-consuming and we are not aware of any method to automatically capture new Scotland-related material as it is created. But they can be used as a resource by interested editors, so you may want to visit them and click the ''Watch'' tab.

***That was not really what I was thinking of, although it is worth mentioning. No, I was more thinking of a brief presentation of the topic of the traditional Scottish ''high tea''.--

Dùn_Èistean - i dont think it needs any real clean up as such, im just hoping some others will have a look at it and improve it in anyway they think is necessary.
siarach 11:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
*
Scotland - I think the article looks good and could be a great candidate for a Featured Article, but it needs major work on the references, copy editing and a maybe a slight paring down of the History section. I've added three or four refs today. I'd like to get this ready for a Peer Review by the end of the month as a first step to FAC. Any comments or help will be appreciated.--
WilliamThweatt 04:12, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
*
Gaelic_Traditionalism - an article of a dubious nature (google topic and ~900 hits with the article and mirrors of it appearing as the most prominent) which is misleading in giving the impression that this pagan movement has any links to existing Gaelic culture/community within Scotland or Ireland.
::*I have proposed a page move to rename this article. Anyone interested in commenting, please go to the article's talk page and weigh in. Thanks.--
WilliamThweatt 22:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
::*Page was moved yesterday to
Clannada_na_Gadelica. Still needs cleaned up for propoganda and POV.--
WilliamThweatt 04:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Barnett_Formula - seems a bit POVish in ''some'' areas to me, but am not sure how to go about tackling it. Article seems to conflate several areas that don't seem strictly relevant. Would appreciate it if someone could take a bit of a look?
Globaltraveller 20:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

* Guys, anyone fancy helping out in purging WP/WC of the redundant saltires? I started this a few weeks back when replaced the main versions with two SVG versions:
Image:Flag_of_Scotland.svg and
Image:Flag_of_Scotland_(traditional).svg. I've mopped up almost all of the images that were used previously, such that on en.wikipedia we're down to just the two new ones. However wikimedia commons has:
Image:Scotland_flag_300.png (
usage) and
Image:Flag_of_Scotland_Pantone300.png (
usage) - these are used a fair bit on the other language wikipedia sites. I'm going to work my way through them, but if anyone fancies lending a hand then great.
Would you beleive this has also lead to me replacing the
Flag_of_Tenerife too!
Thanks/

Billy_Kay - just put up a short article on the author and Scots language expert/activist which could do with expanding i think.
*
University_of_Strathclyde needs some fact checking
*
Tillicoultry - There is still work to be done, esp wrt sources etc, but reviews/comments welcomed
*
Atlantic_Ocean - This is a request for your opinion on place names (before I post RfC). The problem arises following attempts by a Wikipedia user to seek out references to "England", "Scotland" and "Wales" and replace them with "United Kingdom". One example of this can be seen at
Atlantic_Ocean where
User:Owain recently made changes including changing text from "Aberdeen, Scotland" to "Aberdeen, United Kingdom"; from "Liverpool, England" to "Liverpool, United Kingdom"; and from "Newport, Wales" to "Newport, United Kingdom" etc. I believe that:(1) the edit was non-sensical, totally unnecessary and politically-motivated; (2) the edit made the article imprecise in not giving sufficient detail to pinpoint a place by omitting the obvious (i.e. the country), and gave less information than the original edit; (3) to deliberately ignore the country is to disrespect the people, culture and traditions of those nations;(4) there have been a large number of edits to this page by many other Wikepedians, all of whom saw no problem with the identification of the country. Can we please have some Scottish views on the convention to be used when referring to British place names? --

Royal_Consorts_of_Scotland - Lots of work. Good concept. A table of consorts of the monarchs of Scotland. Big problem is that it includes Henry VIII as a monarch of Scotland. Everything after Mary is English. I don't have the know-how to fix it.

Consider tagging short Scotland-related articles, with a designated

*For Scottish '''biography''' stubs, '''{{tl|Scotland-bio-stub}}''' ({{cl|Scottish people stubs}})
*For Scottish '''buildings''' stubs, '''{{tl|Scotland-struct-stub}}''' ({{cl|Scottish building and structure stubs}})
In addition, external links to webpages that are ''only in the

Template:gd_icon, inserted by typing
{{gd icon}} in front of the link (displaying this image {{gd icon}}).
