When ye stairt a new airticle, is it no richt tae pit the fower tiles efter yer skreivin? Ave stairtet ain on the Celtic leids, but a doubt itll maun need an expert tae tak a keek at it.ممتاز 18:00, 14 Mey 2007 (UTC)
Hello again. Ad like tae propone a name chynge fer the airticle ower "Nether Saxon", as Laich German wuid be a better general term (in ma opeinion) tae cover aw the laich dialects frae the Wast alang the coast till the Polish border, whereas, Niedersakksisch has mair tae dae wae the Eastren dialect group nor aw the Laich varieties. Aussi, bu cryin it Nether-Saxon, a link till Laich-German on the Dutch Leid airticle, disnae tak ye naewhaur. ممتاز 18:23, 14 Mey 2007 (UTC)
ad like tae tak issue wae the cheil wha said that Nethersaxon wis the wrang title fer thon airticle )ie wae massel:}!) as av done a wee bit mair readin, an realised that a wis in the wrang fer linkin Nethersaxon wae Eastren Germany...( A wis in fact thinkin o whit the German leid cries "Ostniederdüütsch" )mebbes cried "East Nethersaxon in Scots?}ممتاز 08:25, 23 Mey 2007 (UTC)
Hi A wis jist wonderin gin there be a preference tae Great Breetain or Graet Breetain. Acause baith are bein uised an I just wanted tae check which ane A shuid uise. Scroggie 11:00, 15 Mey 2007 (UTC)
Please! can a bodie wae a heicher level o Scots an Scots graimar tak a keek at the collogue fer the Inglis leid airticle ower the apologetic apostrophe, tae see whither whit ave skreived thaur anent its superfluosness in Scots is sticly richt nor no. A cheil cryed Boothman hus insisted on the necessity o apostrophies fer the sake o dipthongs, an ave charged in tae defend the Scots lingueistic concept o no tholin it in modren orthographie, but am in dire need o an expert like mebebe Mendoe:} tae help me uphaud the Scots lingueistic position regairdin no uisin it in skreivin. Help! (sorry fer ma mixter maxter spellin an aw)ممتاز 19:37, 15 Mey 2007 (UTC)
Can a bodie tak a keek at the twa airticles anent the same subject! Twa ower the Celtic leids and The Celtic Leids. A think its best tae delete the secon ain wae the capital L, or rename it an chynge aw the wordin (a took some o it an added it till the langer ain wae the wee l in "leid" an chynged the link in the German version till that yin, But nou am gey confuised! ممتاز

On wikibooks someone has just started a wikibook about learning the Scots Language (the lowland variety in particular), but we need some help from some native speakers. I figured I would come here to ask. Would anyone like to help (if you do I’m sure some more people would come here to this wikipedia)? you can find it here in the link below.
A wis on this wabsite (http://www.scuilwab.org.uk/WirdOTheMonth/Mar2005.htm) an A saw that thay are makin new Scots wirds for things ( Pitmirk Thirl for the Inglish Black Hole). A wis jist wonderin whit oor view wis on this. Shuid we mak an airticle cried Pitmirk Thirl? Scroggie 14:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
OK A accept yer point aboot Wikipedia maybe no bein the richt place for new wirds. A wuid disagree wi Jimmy though, A'd bet the man wha first cried a Black Hole a Black Hole in Inglish ne'er got lauched off o a bus, same wi aa discoveries or inventions. An it's no like these are jist random invented wirds, thay are descriptive an shaipit fae aaready uisit wirds (like wi vacuum cleaner, motor bike etc in Inglish. Nane o these were lauched aboot). A dae think that Black Hole is fine though, syne in aa ither leids that A haed a keek at seem tae cry them by the direct translation o Black Hole. Houaniver, A cuid see the arguement for makin new wirds for mair technical things, as A think this is a problem that Scots haes. As soon as ye try to spak technical ye end up practically spakin in Inglish. Houaniver, technical terms in mony European leids are practically the same (tak television, Mathematics etc) acause the are shapit fae the Laitin and Greek. Whit we need is a organisation like the Academie Francais tae tell us whit tae cry things in the Scots Leid. Wha kens whit will happen, maybe we will be uisin some o these wirds in the futur.
Spikkin ae vacuum cleaners, d'ye ken whit the Norwegian is fir thon? Støvsugar, pronouncit mair like "stoor sooker". Gin we're gaunnae tak wirds frae ither leids, Ah think we shuid tak that ane! Bazza 16:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Ah spose whit we cuid dae, gin there's ony disagreement, wid be tae redirect frae stoorsooker tae hoover, say, and mention in the airticle that some fowk cry a hoover a stoorsooker. Bazza 08:26, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
It's not as if anyone's not gonna understand me. I tried creating an article. I can speak Scots, because I am Scottish and live in Scotland, but I don't actually speak it. A friend of mine once remarked that he thought that this Wikipedia was a joke. Any of you guys want to refute this?--HisSpaceResearch 16:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
If its a joke Wiki ye're efter gang here. Jimmy 21:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

A wis thinkin for tae mak findin airticles easier for fowk (we ken typin in the teetle brings twa-three problems wi it acause o spellin) we shoud mebbes sort a hierarchy o categories.
Fae thon aw the heidins unner:
micht coud be airtit tae category pages wi names sic as Aerospace an Muisic etc. Sic categories shoud syne hae sub-categories sic as Clessical Muisic an Metal (Muisic) etc. We can eik sub-categories tae thir whan the list is sae lang that its a sair taw tae gang throu thaim aw.
Thon wey fowk wad find aw airticles adae wi whit thay're interestit in (gin the pages is categorised;-) bi sneckin throu the categories. Ilk category shoud hae a paragraph anent the subject an a jot tellin fowk that aw ither categories an airticles adae wi the subject can be fund ablo. Siclike micht dae awa wi the reid airtins on the main page.
We shoud pynt oot hou thon's duin in Wikipedia:Lessons_(Editin) askin fowk tae eik the richt category tae ony airticles thay mak. For tae find the richt category they can sneck throu fae the categories on the main page.
Whan thon's aw sortit, efter Scotland's Ceeties, we coud eik:
For tae find an airticle aboot whit ye're interestit in sneck on the categories ablo.

The airtin tae the Scots-English-Scots dictionar needna be thare unner 'Gettin Startit. It can be fund unnder writin Scots whaur its richtly aucht.
Europe isna in Scotland sae it shoud be some ither gate. Mebbes Geography unner naitral sciences or Social sciences A dinna richt ken.
Some o the subjects listit is aiblins sub-categories o ithers unner the selsame heidin. Mebbes thir coud be semplifee'd wi less Subjects.
