Welcome edit

Welcome!

Hello, Gaelicmichael, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

Please could you also have a look at the James Macpherson article. I think it needs a bit of work, to bring it up to the comprehensiveness of other major poets. Sources would be nice.

Also, have you checked out Scottish Wikipedians' notice board yet?--Mais oui! 13:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Category:Cinema of Scotland edit

Request for review. Please have a look at:Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2005_December_14#Category:Cinema_of_England_and_Category:Cinema_of_Scotland

I hope that you will consider viting Keep for both.--Mais oui! 10:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Scottish highland dance links edit

I have just started an attempt to raise the Highland games article to Wikipedia good article status (a lot of de-mythologizing needed!). As a first step in this process, I am trying to reconcile the link targets in the dance section of that article with the link targets in the Scottish highland dance article. Most are red links at present. One problem I have is where to direct the link for Flora McDonald's fancy. The British Association of Teachers of Dance spells the name McDonald, but the Wikipedia article is titled Flora Macdonald. What is the correct spelling? I think the dance link should go to Flora McDonald (dance) (or whatever the correct spelling is). JFPerry 16:24, 4 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Scottish Gaelic edit

You wrote: 'As latest research from O'Buachalla and O'Maolalaigh show, Scottish Gaelic (as a member of "Eastern Gaelic") was an independent branch by the "Old Irish/Gaelic" period'. Can you provide that reference? Given the large number of sound changes that Scottish Gaelic shares in common with Manx and Old Irish, it seems highly unlikely that it broke off from them any earlier than the Middle Irish period.

You have an admirer edit

You are part of a conspiracy Michael, see User talk:No More POV Please. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 00:38, 13 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Update, the last user was a sockpuppet of User:Bluegold. I listed him on WP:CheckUser, and he was found guilty of 7 counts of sockpuppetry. He is now trying to get revenge, and has is accusing me of having you as a sockpuppet: Wikipedia:Requests_for_CheckUser#Calgacus. He has also posted the same allegation on Wikipedia talk:Irish Wikipedians' notice board, and by the time you get this, will probably be posting it elsewhere. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 17:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

User:AlexNewArtBot edit

Hi Gaelicmichael, 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 22:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Scottish Islands project edit

I thought you might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Scottish Islands - come on over and have a look. --MacRusgail 19:15, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:BruceNancyWayne.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:BruceNancyWayne.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
