[edit] Scottish castles infobox

Hi Bill, I noticed your infobox at Duffus Castle, and thought it would make a good start for a template for use across the Scottish Castles Wikiproject. I started a discussion on the subject on the talk page, please do let us have your thoughts. Thanks, ::Supergolden:: 12:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Graphs

I came across a page which uses the timeline functionality to produce a legible graph. You may want to consider redoing your (many ... sorry) graphs. Cavaion Veronese. Or not. Just thought I'd share. --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Image:Elgin rainfall.jpg

Regarding Image:Elgin rainfall.jpg:

Please do not just remove the {{no license}} tag, because that way the image will still be deleted. As the creator of the image, choose a license of your choice from this list, and then add the template for that license on the image page. Regards, Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 01:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Uploaded a new version with license but somehow it still came out as unlicensed. hmmm

[edit] Image:Spyniepalace.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Spyniepalace.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Regargding you claim that the above image is used in the Spynie Palace article, you are mistaken. In the article the file in use is Image:Spyniepalace.jpg; a different format. As such the .png file is an orphan as wikipedia does not need to have both.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 11:24, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The commons

Bill, get yourself an account on the Commons and upload your images there. Then they can be used on any language version of Wikipedia, not just the English version. You know it makes sense! --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Forres

Hey. I will look into it. You see, that map was based on the map on page 196 of McNeill and MacQueen (eds.), Atlas of Scottish History to 1707, and in it Forres was not given a castle. Likewise, there is some reason to believe that Inverness may have existed in this period (with a castle), but this is not certain and is omitted from the aforementioned map. Regards, Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 18:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, Billreid, what's the evidence that Forres existed and had a castle at this point? Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 12:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're listed as a template

You've managed to get your user page listed as a Category:Nation of residence user templates and I don't think that was what you meant to do (it doesn't look like a template :-) --AGoon 02:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moray Golf Club

Hey, fantastic work on Moray Golf Club, particularly the two tables and the infobox. I don't know if you want to do this or have any expertise on the subject, but a template just like your infobox and the scorecard would be amazing for every golf course. Grover 05:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Could you upload the image to Commons? I'd like to use it in the German Wikipedia. Thanks. -- ulim, 00:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

Thank you for your praise. If medieval Scotland is going to be one of your main editing interests, we shall prolly encounter each other quite a bit. Keep in mind that I started most of those articles just to get them started, and there is a large scope for improvement and copyediting. Anyways, since you're interested, can you do me and wikipedia a big favour and give Clement of Dunblane a quick copyedit (sentences structures, unclear info, etc). I'm personally happy with it, and so's Dave Souza now. But it's up for FA and needs as many eyes as possible. This is in response to User:Tony1's comments on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Clement of Dunblane. I myself will go over it again soon, but others need to look at it first. You're own thoughts on how it can be improved are also highly welcome. Best regards, Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 17:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks for your help. Now I'll just have to wait for Tony1 to tell us what he thinks. Do you think the article is now of FA quality? Anyways, hopefully I'll be able to help you with some of your articles when I come back in January. You're producing some good work. I hope you'll stick around.
