[edit] Cumbernauld photos

Hi there, you recently uploaded two photographs of Cumbernauld which identify "Michael Westwater" as the source and say that they have been released into the public domain. I would just like to check that you're either "Michael Westwater" and took the photos yourself (if so, thanks) or ask you to post a more specific source.

If you did take these photos yourself then it'd be great to get larger versions (to be honest the current ones look like they've been taken off a website somewhere). Thanks/wangi 14:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Hi there, First and foremost Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory. Please see WP:NOT for more details and WP:EL on what should and should not be linked to. Please do not link in-line to places that do not have their own article (largely because they are not notable). Thanks/wangi 21:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, the details were lost in the changes. I have made further changes to try and get this article more like an encyclopedic one, rather than a shopping guide! Thanks/wangi 21:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Glenrothes

Hi - I will take a gander at Glenrothes again as soon as I have time. Your persistence is commendable. GA is actually quite easy to apply for. Go to Wikipedia:Good article candidates, and follow the instructions. All these involve are:

1) Adding the article name to the relevant list - in this case Wikipedia:Good_article_candidates#Places_candidates - using the syntax provided at the top left of the page. (# {{la|Genrothes}} ).
2) Add LONG to the above - making it # '''LONG'' {{la|Glenrothes}} . This simply warns the reviewer its not going to be a quick job.
3) Add {{GAnominee|2007-08-13}} (assuming you do it today) to the Glenrothes talk page.

Then all you have to do is sit back and wait for the reviewer to get back to you. This could make a month or a day depending on how inspired someone is to scrutinise it. They will usually come up with something and give you a time limit to fix it, then hopefully pass it.

Optionally you can add it to the list of current candidates at WP:SCO. Good luck! Ben MacDui (Talk) 20:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
