[edit] Additions to Scotland article
Welcome to Wikipedia! Please check out the Scottish notice board at WP:SCOWNB.
I really do hate being a pain in the backside when you are new to Wikipedia, but please see my comments at:
Talk:Scotland#Boxing_Day_additions
Thanks.--Mais oui! 09:50, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Scotland article
Thank you for the extensive work you have conducted on the Scotland article. Have you ever been an editor on Wikipedia before, because this is certainly not typical behaviour for new Users?--Mais oui! 20:16, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- No problemo. I did a bit of editing on this page and on the Scottish history page a couple of months ago so I'm not completely new to this. I had a bit of time on my hands yesterday so decided to give it a go. Would definitely be good to see the Scotland page up to featured article level. Benarty 06:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
What is the source of your comment that Scotland has no official language because of the lack of a written constitution? The two concepts are not obviously linked - for example Welsh has had official status in Wales without a written constitution. I am sure that there are provisions requiring the use of English eg in court proceedings, which in a sense establishes it as an official language (or at least the language of officialdom)--George Burgess 17:25, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's all explained in the official language page. There is a difference in constitutional terms between official recognition by legal statute and an official language entrenched within a written constitution. Benarty 17:45, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Edit summary
Please remember to provide Edit summaries for each edit that you do.--Mais oui! 20:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Will do. Benarty 06:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Good work!
[edit] No Personal Attacks
Please do not indulge in personal attacks, as you did on this edit, on Talk:Scotland. - Calgacus 15:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thanks,

[edit] Scotland
Good work on the language section. The article has improved signficantly in the past few days. Astrotrain 18:23, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Scotland
Following a successful period of consultation WikiProject Scotland has now been launched. As a participant in the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board I wonder if you may be interested in this new endeavour too? If so, please sign-up here. The WikiProject will be replacing some of the functions of the notice board, especially those in the lower half.
While I am here, please also have a look at the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Scotland and give it a "Watch". It was started up by User:Visviva a few days ago, after long being mooted at the notice board, and effectively replaces all the AfD listings at the notice board. Being a transclusion of all the on-going discussions it is a much more useful tool.
Even if you do not want to spend too much time on the WikiProject, please give it a "Watch" and feel free to contribute to Talk page discussions: the more contributors the merrier.
All the best. --Mais oui! 11:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
