Template talk:Lewis and Harris

Latest comment: 16 years ago by MacRusgail in topic Culture and Media

I don't want to mess up the template as it's so well designed, but should St Clement's Church be added to the places of interest as it seems very Lewis-centered? (Morris MacIver)

Yes, definitely! This is a start basically. For some reason the Lewis article is better written than the Harris one, I'm afraid. :( --MacRusgail (talk) 17:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
That could be because I went through a very active phase a few months back and attacked the Lewis article but kind of stopped before the Harris one. I really quite like this template anyway. Shouldn't Scalpay be moved to inhabited islands too? Trying to think if there are any others.MRM (talk) 18:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
St Clems is now in the template... As for the pop. - it shifts as you know. Some islands can be inhabited for a year or two... Scalpay's now moved - I confused Scarp and Scalpay... --MacRusgail (talk) 19:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
For a small island, Scalpay has a fairly large population. I should really try and get to grips with the template syntax so I don't need to place suggestions in the talk.MRM (talk) 20:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Templates are a nightmare. I still don't understand them, let alone infoboxes. I cut and paste and hope for the best. :*) --MacRusgail (talk) 20:31, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Clisham, Calanais

edit

I've had a go and think I've managed to add the Clisham.MRM (talk) 22:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Calanais

edit

There are a number of smaller stone circles called "Calanais", quite a number. I don't think it would be appropriate to (even try to) include them all, but should any of the others (other than the main one) be included? I is the main one, II, III, IV and VIII seem to be the main other ones; many with their own wiki pages. Any opinions?MRM (talk) 22:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've just left that, because there's so many of them. I think if people go to the main one, they should be able to head on from there. --MacRusgail (talk) 10:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Culture and Media

edit

Would it be appropriate to add the following in one or two new sections or to avoid bloat, would it be better to create a new template for these?

 Stornoway Gazette
 BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal
 Isles FM
 BBC Alba (TV channel)
 TeleG
 Hebridean Celtic Festival

I think it's better to distinguish between those based there, e.g. RnanG, TeleG, BBC Alba, and those set up to serve the islands e.g. Stornoway Gazette, Isles FM and HCF.--MacRusgail (talk) 15:59, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
