Again, welcome! 

Please add new talk comments at the bottom of the page, rather than the top (Talk:Scottish national identity).

You are correct that that article needs a lot of work, but actually it was not written by a "rabid nationalist", but rather by an editor strongly opposed to Scottish independence who wanted to try to initiate a more balanced presentation of the topic than then existed at article Unionist (Scotland).

Oh yes, please always remember to sign your comments. I did it for you at that Talk page.

Have you visited Misplaced Pages:Scottish Wikipedians' notice board yet?--Mais oui! 11:58, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Scottish national identity

I've opened a Request for Comment on Scottish national identity. As an editor with previous involvement in this article, you may wish to add a statement or comment. Best wishes, --YFB ¿ 18:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

You seem like you have a lot a knowledge with respect Irish history so maybe you would like to comment on the historic basis of this term here Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-12-02 IRA 'Volunteer' usage —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DownDaRoad (talk • contribs) 00:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Dundee Arms.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dundee Arms.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Unionism in Scotland

Sorry about that. I misunderstood it as refering to the people standing at the side not the marchers. Munci 09:00, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposed Micronation Wikiproject

I've published a proposal to gauge the level of interest in setting up a micronation Wikiproject, which I thought might be of interest to you based on your past contributions. Comments and suggestions are welcome: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Micronations --Gene_poole 02:09, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest. The project proposal above has been successful, so I would like to invite you to add your name to the new project page: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Micronations. --Gene_poole 00:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Flags

Hi. I reverted your removal of the Scottish flag from Edinburgh and Glasgow. While I sympathise with your point about which flag we use in articles like these being a choice, I think it is a choice that has already been made, to use the Scottish flag rather than the UK or EU ones. There's nothing at all wrong in being bold like this, but I suggest a little more care with the use of the minor edit flag. Next steps; either take it to article talk, the Scotland project, or else you may be interested in contributing to WP:FLAGCRUFT. Best wishes, --John 15:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
