[edit] Assessment

This article is well on its way to 'B' class and beyond. At present however it lacks some information and lots of references (many of which are obtainable from the articles it draws on). A potential GA candidate with a bit more work. Ben MacDui (Talk) 19:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Intro

I have started an article on the History of the Outer Hebrides. Almost all of the content has been lifted from the sections on history in the individual articles.

Where the information is better placed on the original, I'm going to trim. Where it would be better to have more here, I am going to add an expand request.

Nothing (should) link here yet, but I'll sort that soon too.MRM 08:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I have not included St Kilda in the sections needing expanding as the source text was wonderfully detailed. Unfortunately, for a general article about history of the Outer Hebrides, it was probably too detailed, so I trimmed a bit. MRM 09:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
