[edit] Scotland Portal
The Scotland Portal is now up and running. It is a project in the early stages of development, but I think it could be a very useful resource indeed, perhaps more for general readers (the vast majority I presume), rather than committed editors, who may be more attracted by the great possibilities of the notice board format: Wikipedia:Scottish Wikipedians' notice board.
Give it a Watch, and lend a hand if you can. It is (hopefully) fairly low-maintenance, but if we run with the "News" section, that will take dedication: time which I cannot commit to presently myself. Most other boxes need replacment/update only weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, plus the occasional refreshment of the Scotland-related categories. Anyway, I assume this is how the other Portals are run, so we can follow their lead.
Please add the following code - {{portalpar|Scotland}} - to your own User page, and you will have the link to the portal right there for easy access. I will investigate how other portals use shortcuts too.
Assistance from Wikipedians in the rest of the world would be greatly appreciated!--Mais oui! 09:20, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Scottish Canadians....
This list is and will be vast and needs suborganization by field, province, etc. Scots are the dominant social/cultural group in CAnadian history, even though the English are more numerous; in politics, business, culture and more, there's lots of notables in all provicnes; and sooner or later people are going to add them all; so some thought on how to organize this in the layout-concept here seems needed.Skookum1 14:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scott MacDonald
The "Scott MacDonald" listed here as a freedom fighter links to a Scott MacDonald in the band "The Spoons". I'm guessing this isn't correct. 205.206.131.152 22:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment
I have assessed this as B Class, although it needs inline citations, and of mid importance, as I feel that the topic plays a strong role in the understanding of the history of Canada. Cheers, CP 03:23, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just pick a title and stick with it please!
Don't make three copies of every article. Use redirects! Kevlar67 09:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Three articles with the same subject matter is stupid. Please choose one. Celtic Harper (talk) 23:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Indeed. Merge. Any title will do for me. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:54, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additions
Hi. Just added the statistically important numbers for self-reported Scottish heritage as single responses. Interestingly, in Quebec and New Brunswick, these values sort the provinces differently in relation to eachother. This is likely because of the contemporary influence of Galicization or the climate of nationalization of non-Anglophone Canadians as distinct ethnic groups.
I also added Alistair MacLeod to the famous Scots-Canadians. Don't know how he was overlooked!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.216.227.191 (talk) 04:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Fur Trade, Metis and Anglo-Metis Populations
This article could use a large section on the integral role of Scots in the fur trade (in both the Hudson's Bay Company and North West Company, as well as the resulting Anglo-Metis population in Western Canada. These seem like pretty big omissions to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.233.112.142 (talk) 22:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
