Additions to Scotland article

Welcome to Wikipedia! Please check out the Scottish notice board at WP:SCOWNB.

I really do hate being a pain in the backside when you are new to Wikipedia, but please see my comments at:

Talk:Scotland#Boxing_Day_additions

Thanks.--Mais oui! 09:50, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Scotland article

Thank you for the extensive work you have conducted on the Scotland article. Have you ever been an editor on Wikipedia before, because this is certainly not typical behaviour for new Users?--Mais oui! 20:16, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

No problemo. I did a bit of editing on this page and on the Scottish history page a couple of months ago so I'm not completely new to this. I had a bit of time on my hands yesterday so decided to give it a go. Would definitely be good to see the Scotland page up to featured article level. Benarty 06:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

What is the source of your comment that Scotland has no official language because of the lack of a written constitution? The two concepts are not obviously linked - for example Welsh has had official status in Wales without a written constitution. I am sure that there are provisions requiring the use of English eg in court proceedings, which in a sense establishes it as an official language (or at least the language of officialdom)--George Burgess 17:25, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

It's all explained in the official language page. There is a difference in constitutional terms between official recognition by legal statute and an official language entrenched within a written constitution. Benarty 17:45, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary

Please remember to provide Edit summaries for each edit that you do.--Mais oui! 20:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Will do. Benarty 06:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Good work!

For your work on Scotland, I , GraemeL, herby award you The Barnstar of National Merit. Congratulations! (KC)

No Personal Attacks

Please do not indulge in personal attacks, as you did on this edit, on Talk:Scotland. - Calgacus 15:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thanks,

Would you care to identify yourself? Benarty 15:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Scotland

Good work on the language section. The article has improved signficantly in the past few days. Astrotrain 18:23, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Scotland

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! 11:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

User:AlexNewArtBot

Hi Benarty~enwiki, 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 ✍ 22:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Benarty. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Benarty~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
