Scottish Wikipedians' notice board
editAs you're obviously Scottish/living in Scotland, and have made some good edits/new articles, I thought I'd let you know that someone has started up a page for Scottish users -
Wikipedia:Scottish Wikipedians' notice board
I hope you find this useful/you can help out there. --MacRusgail 20:36, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Edinburgh suburbs
editI've steadily been going through the red links (non-articles) at Areas_of_Edinburgh... there's still quite a few. The newer residential areas are hard to write on, but I suppose you can talk about the geography anyway (what can I write about Oxgangs, except where it is, and where the name comes from?). You seem to have a pretty good idea about the history of a lot of the places anyway. Someone's typed a whole lot of text into the Corstorphine page, which needs to be dealt with at some point. I'll maybe get round to it at some point. I don't have a copy of Malcolm Cant's The Villages of Edinburgh handy, but it would come in useful. --MacRusgail 21:01, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Following a successful period of consultation WikiProject Scotland has now been launched. As a participant in the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board I wonder if you may be interested in this new endeavour too? If so, please sign-up here. The WikiProject will be replacing some of the functions of the notice board, especially those in the lower half.
While I am here, please also have a look at the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Scotland and give it a "Watch". It was started up by User:Visviva a few days ago, after long being mooted at the notice board, and effectively replaces all the AfD listings at the notice board. Being a transclusion of all the on-going discussions it is a much more useful tool.
Even if you do not want to spend too much time on the WikiProject, please give it a "Watch" and feel free to contribute to Talk page discussions: the more contributors the merrier.
All the best. --Mais oui! 11:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Pinkyogamuffin, as a WikiProject Scotland participant, please check out this this thread and consider adding the bot results page to your watchlist so we can manually update the New Articles page. There are some false results for the first batch, but I'm sure we can collectively tune the rules to improve the output.
If we get enough people watching the results page, we'll be cooking with gas as they say :) This looks like a great helper in finding new Scotland related material. Cheers. --Cactus.man ✍ 01:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
