[edit] Queen Margaret of Scotland

Why did you undo my edit of the Patron Saints of Scotland. Scotland has more than one, Queen Margaret (Saint Margaret of Scotland) was declared Patroness of Scotland in 1673.

[edit] Barnstar

I am asking whether WP:IE should have a barnstar for members and ordinary users who contribute a lot to it. i have a design for the barnstar if it is created on my computer so all I ask is should I create this barnstar? Yours sincerely --Markreidyhp 12:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Had to laugh at your last post on the Scotland talk page. For the love of God, consistancy!! ;) --Jack forbes (talk) 21:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Macgrew (talk · contribs)

Hi. I just removed your addition of the {{sockpuppeteer}} tag from this user's userpage because he has not been indefinitely blocked, although his sockpuppet is.

Just letting you know!

[edit] Page moves

Hi Barry. Please remember to fix double redirects after making page moves. You left six of them when you moved Irish Government to Government of Ireland. Fixing links on templates, e.g. {{Governments of Ireland‎}}, is also advisable.

Also, please be careful of blind reverts - this added back in obvious vandalism (i.e. the ¾ sign at the top). Cheers, пﮟოьεԻ 57 12:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Er, I've just noticed you did exactly the same thing (i.e. not fixing double redirects) for Secretary-General of the United Nations. This is a major article, and leaving broken links to this is very unhelpful. Please go through your edit history and make sure you haven't left any other broken links after moves. Thanks, пﮟოьεԻ 57 21:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scotland

I've not critatized you Barry, so please don't describe my postings as borderline trolling. It's not as though, I've been edit warring on that article. GoodDay (talk) 21:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I never said you criticised me, and you have raised this is several times each resulting in Country being the accepted term its time to let go. --Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 17:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I've let go. GoodDay (talk) 20:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Map at Kingdom of Scotland

Hi. Not quite sure why you reverted the change to the map at Kingdom of Scotland. New version is simply a zoomed in version of the old map, bringing the scale to that approximating to the map at the Scotland article. Not a change of content so much as a close up version with more detail seen as a result. Hope that explains things fully. Regards 80.41.209.149 (talk) 08:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Old version showing 'Orange dot' relative to whole of Europe

Close up version of same map showing greater detail.

It is not shown as an orange dot the image on the page is 250 px and cleary shows the Kingdom of Scotlands position realtive to europe. --Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 17:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
