WikiProject Scotland To-do:

This page duplicates part of List of Scots. I suggest that the writers be removed from the other page and a link made to this one. Dduck 18:27, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Prettify

Could we not make this list a bit more impressive? It is rather bare, boring and uninformative at present.

If we made it into a nice table format, with a column for Dates, Genre(s), Key works, and Notes, etc. then I think that the reader would find it a lot more useful.

See Wikipedia:Featured lists for the benchmarks. --Mais oui! 09:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure about this - tables are more useful where the contents are known and limited. Using a table could discourage people from making additions - and the aim should be to make the list as complete as possible. I would suggest adding information to existing names - that would encourage anyone adding names to be more expansive. Robina Fox 10:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Hughes

I'm not sure who this Tony Hughes is, but when I click on it, it leads to Jeffrey Dahmer, who is an American serial killer. Am I missing something here? Tony Hughes may need to be fixed or deleted, depending on who he is ... VictoryClassWoman 21:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
