Greatly reducing my involvement on the English Wikipedia. Too many nutters, POV pushers and Wiki lawyers without a shred of common sense and not enough people willing to stand up to them. Moving to the Gaelic Wiki which is still a lot more like Wikipedia used to be - people trying to write good articles. Good luck.

The Teamwork Barnstar
I apologise that I can barely muster 10 words of Irish, let alone Ghàidhlig. Thank you very much for translating/improving the Bible translations into Scottish Gaelic onto gd.wp. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:05, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
