{{Master Editor II}}
The Scotland article peer review is now closed, but many of the good suggestions still need implemented. --[[User:Mais oui!|Mais oui!]] 14:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject/List_of_proposed_projects#Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scotland|The consultation period was successful]], and the WikiProject is up and running from today. Welcome! --[[User:Mais oui!|Mais oui!]] 13:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
<br>
== [[Portal:Scotland]] ==
The Scotland Portal is now up and running. It is a project in the early stages of development, but I think it could be a very useful resource indeed, perhaps more for general readers (the vast majority I presume), rather than committed editors, who may be more attracted by the great possibilities of the notice board format: [[Wikipedia:Scottish Wikipedians' notice board]].

Give it a Watch, and lend a hand if you can. It is (hopefully) fairly low-maintenance, but if we run with the "News" section, that will take dedication: time which I cannot commit to presently myself. Most other boxes need replacement/update only weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, plus the occasional refreshment of the Scotland-related categories. Anyway, I assume this is how the [[Template:Main portals|other Portals]] are run, so we can follow their lead.

Please add the following code - '''<nowiki>{{portalpar|Scotland|Flag of Scotland.svg}}</nowiki>'''
- to your own User page, and you will have the link to the portal right there for easy access. I will investigate how other portals use shortcuts too.--[[User:Mais oui!|Mais oui!]] 08:41, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Scottish Wikipedians' notice board|Scottish Wikipedians' notice board]]==
Since joining Wikipedia I have learnt an awful lot, and one of those things is the value of teamwork. It has become increasingly apparent to me that there are absolutely tons of people out there devoted to editing the Scottish articles, but we communicate only haphazardly. To begin to attempt to remedy this, I have initiated a notice board for all Scoto-fans!

You can find it using this shortcut: [[WP:SCOWNB]] (yes, I know that it ain't very "short", but our nordic neighbours had first call on [[WP:SWNB]]).

Please sign up and post notices, or at least Watch the page.--[[User:Mais oui!|Mais oui!]] 08:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

==To do==
Articles I may, or may not, initiate or expand, time permitting.
*several of the people/families in this book: [http://www.electricscotland.com/history/sweden/19.htm Scots in Sweden], eg [[Alexander Keiller (shipbuilder)]], [[David Carnegie (entrepreneur)]], the [[Dickson family]]/[[Tjolöholm Castle]], etc
*[[British nationalism]] (has been a scrappy, unreferenced stub article, which has been blanked and redirected to a dismbiguation page)
*[[Curling in Scotland]]

===Huh?===
Dunno why, but this [[Error#Gaff|gaff]] by the new president upon his inauguration just gave me the [[dry boke]].

He might as well have stood up in front of the planet and said ''"First of all, did you know that I own ten large houses and a couple of Ferraris?"'' Dearie, dearie me. Who was it that said marriage is a form of slavery? See also: [[Display (zoology)]].
