I have enjoyed some of my time on this website, but it is not a good use of my time. I am spending the summer creating literature, rather than wasting my time with the hidebound.

Tapadh leibh a chairdean - thank you friends.

As for my non-friends, and the nuisance makers (you know who you are) - "Dy jig Skeab Lome ort hene, er dty hiollagh, er dty hlaynt, er dty chooid as er dty chloan!"

Speedy deletion nomination of Sweere-arse

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sweere-arse requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/sweir. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Jbh 01:04, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

@Jbhunley: Good for you, but you are mistaken as usual. The text of the entry is taken from Charles MacKay's A Dictionary of Lowland Scots (1888), which had been out of copyright for a very long time. And listed very clearly in the reference section of the article. Not cut and paste from the DSL website - next time, I recommend taking more time to read each article you propose to get rid of. (I believe that 1888 is roughly a century before the first website was set up.)

For your information -

I actually typed the entry up manually from hard copy. Furthermore, MacKay refers to a third work, Jamieson's Dictionary, which pre-dates the invention of the internet by a century and several decades.

Maybe you need to be a little less hasty in your deletionism, but I think we both know your real reason for doing this.-MacRùsgail (talk) 15:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC) p.s. Don't expect me to reply promptly please, I have a life offline.

So what? Go away and stop harassing me. You're a bully and a stalker.-MacRùsgail (talk) 16:18, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

@Bishonen and NeilN: I believe MacRusgail has been warned about personal attacks and he seems insensitive to the concepts of notability. I regret he has not been able to carry on a civil discussion nor has he ever done anything other than bluster about being bullied and harassed when the sourcing and notability of one of his articles is brought up. He does not work to improve them or show how then might be improved. I have offered to work with him but he just throws insults. (See User_talk:Jbhunley#Harassment for some examples) At this point it has gone far enough that I would like to request administrative intervention. I am pinging the two of you because you have previously warned him about personal attacks. I know that by making this request that my edits and actions will be examined as well. While I do not believe I have been out of line I accept it is possible I have been since I have been unwilling to allow these attacks to change the way I edit and assess articles. Thank you for your time looking into this matter. Jbh 17:41, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
