Hi Ceartas. Brilliant username. Have you seen Ceartas? --Doric Loon (talk) 09:39, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Your signature

Hi there, per our guideline on signatures, could you please make sure that your signature has a link to either your userpage or user talkpage? It makes it much easier for other users to contact you if need be. Thanks, --BelovedFreak 15:30, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I presume you have contacted me in an 'official' capacity, and that 'me' should read 'be'. I have tried to rectify the 'problem' and hope it now works. Ceartas (talk) 22:39, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, "me" should have been "be". I've changed it now so it makes sense! I have no "official capacity", I just noticed your signature around the place and thought I'd let you know the guideline. Sorry if it came across as "official" or telling you off but to be honest, if I hadn't said something, someone else with nothing better to do (like me!) would have come and mentioned it. Anyway, looks like it works ok now. Regards, --BelovedFreak 11:23, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Fine, thanks. Ceartas (talk) 14:22, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

July 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Aonach Beag has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

• Hello, Ceartas. Thank you for your polite message. I agree that "without" is a bit archaic. I'm a fan of archaic, but that is neither here nor there with regard to the current discussion. In hindsight I appreciate your edit was made in good faith and I apologize if my reversion of your edit presented itself as overly critical or dismissive. My reversion was based on "outwith" being even more archaic (from a modern English speaker's perspective) than the original text. While your analysis of the original intent of the content in question might be correct, I would suggest "excluding" in the place of the alternatives presented so far. As this is the English Wikipedia I would think that the applicable guidelines would tend to direct away from Scots without compelling reason for inclusion. Another possibility would be to give Aonach Beag's elevation and explaining its rank including the Cairngorms. I'm no copy editor and no expert on the Highlands (my ancestors roamed the Borders), so I will gladly defer to your judgement. Thanks for your hard work here and your patience with my well meaning, but still annoying, interference. Regards Tiderolls 00:27, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Great Skua, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Norse (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
