POV

edit

We' need to watch for POV here... As it stands for GLA we have "most long haul international routes", for EDI "more short haul business destinations"... And references for neither. Thanks/wangi 23:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Another "POV" issue - it's stated that bus travel in Scotland has been declining since 1986 - as if this was entirely due to deregulation (which admittedly hasn't helped). In fact bus travel (measured by passenger miles) has been declining (as in the rest of the UK) since around 1960.

Air

edit

A cursory glance at the airport codes shows them to be wrong, if I have the time I will change them. Fraslet 09:00, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

EARL/GARL references removed 10/10/10

edit

The projects for rail links to the Edinburgh/Glasgow airports have been cancelled so removed from the main page. Perhaps a section on proposed links which could include the airport links as well as a reference to Crossrail Glasgow would be better? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.168.186.234 (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I am putting the Good Article review on hold for seven days. If you can get the references in place then I think this article can be raised to GA status. Otherwise the lack of references really does keep it off a GA status. Regan123 (talk) 01:50, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

As no further work has been done on the article I have had to fail it on the GA criteria. Regan123 (talk) 18:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Actually I did do some work. I added a lot of references. Never mind. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDENplay it cool. 20:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
There are 8 references on this article. There should be more like 40 or 50 for this length. Regan123 (talk) 23:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ferries Map misleading

edit

This maps shows Stranraer in Northern Ireland not Scotland. It almost overemphasizes Calmac by including all its intra-island routes in the Western Isles while omitting all the ferry routes within both Shetland and Orkney. --FDent (talk) 20:06, 6 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
