• Template:Scottish Green Party/meta/color Content:    
• Template:Scottish Green Party/meta/shortname Content: Scottish Green

[edit] Gaelic

Does this party have any stance about Scots and Gaelic languages?

If not, then why is it so important to translate it to Gaelic? I'm not against it, but then it should be translated to Scots too. --Amir E. Aharoni 13:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Policy

The section on the the party's policy refers to "four interconnected principles" and then lists 5 dot-point statements.

Are there five principles or should two of them be amalgamated? --Mckinlayr 13:15, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Scotgrn.PNG

Image:Scotgrn.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confused intro

Excepting the 2007 election, the Party had increased its vote at every comparable election since 1999.

This sounds like party spin - one could equally talk about the vote going up and down in cycles. And at the moment the general election pages (bar 2005) are either showing just the English & Welsh Greens or showing all Green candidates under one total (which the media often do).

Although it currently only stands for the Scottish Parliament,

Is this a recent formal decision by the party? It stood in the last Westminster, European and local elections. Timrollpickering 19:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
