Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Scotland you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Goodreg3 -- Goodreg3 ( talk) 20:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi @
Goodreg3: I saw
Scotland listed at
WP:GAN. I see that you opened
Talk:Scotland/GA1 in error and I
have asked for that review page to be deleted so that an independent reviewer can make a fresh start.
Having looked at the article and at the talk page, there seems to be a debate over the wording of the lead. I am also concerned that the citation style is inconsistent (the
rp template and
sfn template are both used at the moment). I would recommend withdrawing your nomination temporarily (just delete the template on the talk page once
Talk:Scotland/GA1 has been deleted) until the current debate has played out and until you have addressed the issues with citation style.
I hope this is helpful input. Best wishes Mertbiol ( talk) 10:19, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Kilmarnock you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Kilmarnock you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Kilmarnock for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

This morning I recalled your comments at Talk:Scotland#Sweeping_and_inattentive_changes that you “do not feel supported by (me) whatsoever” and how much of a slap in the face that felt, in the light of all the work on your edits and copious feedback I’d given, for years now. But it prompted a memory of a similar, lengthy interaction I had with another enthusiastic editor, a long time ago, initially very frustrating but which, to my great surprise, became cordial and productive. I will not be able to devote very much time but, if you are genuinely in search of support and you can slow down and be patient, I’ll see if we can try a different tack. What do you reckon?

Hi Goodreg3, as you've had a fair few disambiguation link notifications here, you may not be aware that there's a useful option that highlights links to disambiguation pages, very visibly. If you go to your user preferences, select the gadget tab, scroll down to the appearance section and check "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange", any such pages will become highly visible, alerting you to change it to the correctly disambiguated page, if that is what is required. I find it really handy.
On another matter, do you remember I asked you if you could "(make) smaller individual edits to allow them to be followed more easily", at the Scotland talk page?
This diff might be a useful example, where you seem to be dealing with several different and unrelated aspects of the article in one fairly large edit. To allow others to follow what your intentions are, it's easier if they are broken down individually, into smaller, separate edits. That is particularly the case if it involves moving sections of text from one part of the article to another, as any changes to the text don't really show up in the diff. What's more, if there is an issue with part, but not all, of the changes made, it's then possible to revert one of the several, smaller edits and leave the rest intact. If the various aspects being addressed are all done in one major edit then the choice is between a time-consuming and complicated edit to pick out the problem parts from those that are fine or much more simply reverting the whole lot but possibly throwing the baby out with the bath water. Cheers,
Mutt Lunker (

I'll elaborate on
my amendments to
this edit of yours. You've been attempting to avoid your previous tendency to post material that is variously copyrighted, copied without attribution or without sufficient paraphrasing. If you do paraphrase though, make sure you retain the meaning of what is stated in the source.
The source notes a record figure in regard to generation but your wording indicated consumption, not the same thing. The word "equivalent" re the 113% figure is required for it to make rational sense. It's "country's overall consumption", as it is the consumption by the country, not that of plural "countries". All the best.

With this edit, I've mainly tightened up the text and addressed some typos and punctuation. I'm assuming "FLC" as an abbreviation for the RFC is an error but thought I'd better check, in case something else is intended. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 23:35, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
As your editing on the matter of a national motto of Scotland proved contentious in the past, I'm disappointed that you have returned to it, with similarly insubstantial support. In light of the history, it would have been more conciliatory to raise the matter at the talk page first, to gain consensus. You must know I would scrutinise such a resumption of what could be seen as the return to a slow WP:WAR. I'm afraid it is a continuation of the way you appear to add material, by stating something you believe to be true, googling search terms on the matter and adding your finds, whether it truly supports the statement or not. The Irish Times article mentions "nemo..." but says nothing about "the national motto of Scotland", let alone support that this is it. Do you know anything about the Scotlander site? I don't, I can't find out anything about it, it does not look in any way authorative and, unless you can show otherwise, you should be avoiding such apparently self-published t-shirt vending sites in favour of something more clearly reliable. The NY Times ref is behind a paywall and, with the multiple failures of verification of other sources you have put forward, I'd like to see the full quote, in context. If you require any clarification, please let me know here. All the best. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 21:05, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
I think that this post was ill-considered, baseless and bolsters the indications that you edit on the basis of proving what you believe about a topic to be true, come hell or high water, and that anyone who challenges this must have nefarious intentions. If you wish to post material about a topic, research it with an open mind and record what you find, whether this confirms your previous beliefs or not. One would hope it would be as pleasing to discover new facts as to confirm old beliefs. There are bad people editing on Wikipedia but you should have a solid basis before making such accusations; there was none here.
If you can reflect on this, it may restore some faith in your good intentions if you note below your post that, on consideration, you retract comments made in haste, or the like. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 13:43, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Please be more receptive to other editors raising concerns about your editing. Surely you must appreciate how unproductive it is to respond to us with surly, dismissive rebuffs and hyperbolic and false accusations? Whether you reckon you “need watched” or not, contemplate how the likelihood of this will be affected by your present response mode and inflexibility. Things will be much easier if you assume good faith and co-operate. Can we go back to that please? Mutt Lunker ( talk) 19:12, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Sheena Easton into

Just a reminder that per WP:USERNOCAT, user sandbox pages such as your User:Goodreg3/sandbox are not allowed to be filed in categories alongside real articles. Categories have to stay off the page while it's in sandbox, and may be added only if and when the content is actually being moved into a real mainspace article. I note that I or other editors have had to remove the page from categories at least eight times since last year — so please remember in the future that it cannot and must not be filed in categories.
