Orkney child abuse scandal edit
You have added some sentences to South Ronaldsay child abuse scandal. That page is a redirect to Orkney child abuse scandal, which is probably where you intended to add them. Where they are, on a redirect page, few people are likely to see them, and even fewer to understand them without their context. (Also, they need a reference, maybe to the "national article" you mention in your edit summary.) Maproom (talk) 07:41, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
