[edit] Image licencing

Having checked all images on the main Aberdeen page I have found that images; Image:PressAndJournalFrontPage.gif and Image:New acc logo.gif do not have licencing that will allow them to be transferred to wikimedia commons and Image:Aberdeen-coa.png has a tag that allows its use in Wikipedia but has restrictions.

Public domain image would be better if availalbe, particulalry with the coat of arms due to its extensive use in the Wikipedia project. Bobbacon 12:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aberdeen Castle

Aberdeen Castle has been created- there may be discrepencies and important information missing. I have listed problems on the discussion page of the article if anyone can help. I have taken it as far as I can for now. Bobbacon 07:24, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To-do list

An Aberdeen to-do list, with ideas on what needs to be done has been created. I invite other contributers to re-rank the order of importantance and add new tasks, to give the list more legitimacy- what I think is important is not necessarily what others think! The page can be found at Talk:Aberdeen/Aberdeen to do list and at the left hand side link. Bobbacon 07:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology of Aberdeen

I have created the page Etymology of Aberdeen. It references to a (clean) dating site which bizarrely has the best internet etymology! I think it is copied from somewhere so while it is referenced I have changed it a lot so it should be ok. I think this page has potential for further detail. Bobbacon 09:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

referencing to unworthy sites (the dating one) have been removed. Bobbacon 11:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

does this one liner really need it's own section? Piperdown 20:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You should remove the Urban Dictionary reference as it is anything but a reliable source.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 23:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IPA Transcription

I am cleaning out my talk page, these are suggested IPA transcriptions:

• Something along the lines of /abɚdin/ (SAMPA: /ab@`din/), but don't take that as set in stone or anything.
• In an English accent, for example, it would be /æbədiːn/ (SAMPA: /{b@di:n/), or thereabouts.

User:N-true is not Aberdonian, but that is what he thought when I asked for help (a while back). Bobbacon 09:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
