[edit] Thanks for joining Wikipedia, MacRusgail

Hi, I'm Xiong Chiamiov, another user at Wikipedia. If you ever need some help, please drop a message on my talk page (User_talk:Xiong Chiamiov). If you're wondering how to edit a page, going to Wikipedia:How to edit a page may be useful. Below are some tips which many come in handy sometime:

  • When writing a comment or sending a message, adding ~~~~ on the end will add your signature, as well as the current time and date. Your signature can be changed by going to Special:Preferences, or by clicking "my preferences" in the top right.
  • If you want to test that you can really edit pages, you may wish to go to Wikipedia:Sandbox, and you can add whatever you want! However, please do not make edits to Wikipedia articles with the intention of ruining them, as such edits are considered to be Vandalism.

Remember, if you need help, there are loads of places you can get it:

Thanks again for coming to Wikipedia, and I look forward to seeing your contributions. And remember, Be bold in updating pages! -- Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 21:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Falklands

A road only has to have two lanes in order that the side of the road on which ones drives becomes important - not six lanes. However it could do with some references.

All the best and happy hogmanay.

[edit] Berwick

I read your note about the Ragman Roll, but do you not think it a little far-fetched? Many, if not most, of the nobility doing homage had (1) no realistic alternative and (2) lands in England. Regards, David Lauder 16:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

David, I hope you notice that I mentioned folk etymology. The "Ragman Roll", seems to have been given a bad name subsequently, even though, as you point out, it was very hard for some of the signatories to disagree. --MacRusgail 17:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Irish Scots

I see you you created that Irish-Scot Category. Not sure if you are interested but there is a discussion as whether or not to keep it or delete it. Gunniog should have informed you of this but as he hasnt I thought I would, see here for further information--Vintagekits 19:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Falkland Islands geography stubs

Hi MacRusgail - thought you might like to know that after your recent frenzy of Falklands stub creation, there is now a separate category for stubs on Falkland Islands geography! Grutness...wha? 06:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Agree

That I have never come across a single reference for a Dunshire. Its tripe. David Lauder 14:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe

Hiya pal, just seen your edit to Bynack More thanks. If you know something about the Gaelic language could you do anything with the article Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe which has been tagged for something (butchering the Gaelic language by me I think !). I certainly don't understand the International Phonetic Alphabet. Thanks in advance, its OK if you can't fix it but it looks a mess with that tag on. Regards Mick Knapton 20:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/MacRusgail for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Limegreen 03:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SCOWNB Participants merger with WP:SCO

As I hope you may have seen I am attempting to tidy up WP:SCOWNB by removing old notices and the duplication that has emerged since the creation of WP:SCO. One of the latter issues is that there are lists of active Wikipedians on both locations which overlap to a significant degree. As WP:SCOWNB is ideally a place for announcements I am in process of merging the lists at WP:SCO and intend to remove the one at WP:SCOWNB when this is complete. However there are a fair number of Users not on both lists. If you do not wish to have you current WP:SCOWNB entry re-appear at WP:SCO please either let me know or edit the latter as appropriate. Thanks for your patience, and continuing support of matters relating to WikiProject Scotland. Ben MacDui (Talk) 18:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pentland Hills Picture

I'm wondering where [1] was taken from. Am I right in thinking it is from the Midlothian/Borders side rather than from the north? Either way, an image summary, so an accurate caption can be given whenever it is used, would be useful. So I'd be grateful if you could add one, both for the sake of captionign and because it'd bugging me not knowing Lurker oi! 14:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

It was taken off what I think was the A702 road which runs on the east. The layby was between Silverburn and Hillend, so that would make it the north end, although, not looking onto the end of the range, as you would in Edinburgh.--MacRusgail 18:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppetry case

A sock puppet case against you has been closed. Conclusive evidence was not presented to show that you were engaged in sock puppetry, so no action will be taken. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orroroo, South Australia

I have moved back the article on Orroroo to Orroroo, South Australia. This is in line with the WikiProject guidelines at WP:AUSTPLACES. If you wish these guidelines to be changed, you will need to raise the issue there, but you are unlikely to find much support. The naming convention for Australian towns has been discussed several times and the current consensus is that a standard naming protocol of "Town, State" with "Town" being either a redirect or disambiguation page would be consistent and lead to fewer duplicate articles.--Mattinbgn/ talk 02:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
