GA Reassessment[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

This article has a serious lack of in-line citations. There may be some other issues, such as insufficient infos on syntax or a phonology that is limited to phonemes. However, it might be possible to tolerate this, while this is quite impossible for the in-line citations. G Purevdorj (talk) 09:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The concerns have not been addressed (within two weeks, for I posted a note on Talk:Scots language earlier), so I delist this article. G Purevdorj (talk) 08:56, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You might have had more luck if you'd posted on WP Scotland - it seems a bit harsh delisting from GA with only a week's notice and no further advertising, and it is a Top importance article for the project. 86.31.107.22 (talk) 11:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The fundamental problem however is that the article, and related pages, are historically illiterate. The quotes about the supposed history of 'Scots' are highly selective being taken mainly from questionable sources; they simply do not match the historical facts. It is not much better than nationalist propaganda. For the benefit of anyone with an interest in serious history I've summarised the genuine facts on my personal wikipage.

Truce terms[edit]

Hi, can anyone help please (preferably with sources) on what scots, particularly Ulster scots, use as truce terms? These are terms used by children for temporary respite in games for things like a stitch, going to the loo or doing up a shoelace. Fainites ^barleyscribs 17:57, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
