(in Inglis) January editathon

Just a wee reminder that the next scots wiki editathon takes place this weekend, Sat 30 & Sun 31 January. If you'd like help improving your written scots skills, then folks from the Scots Language Centre will be on Zoom on Saturday (15:00-17:00 GMT) and Sunday (12:00-14:00 GMT) to do some collaborative editing, and I'll be around to help with any wiki queries. Feedback last time was that the language support was really helpful (and fun!), and we'd love to see you. We're looking mainly at improving articles to do with politics, particularly articles about politicians.

Hi, could you look through the articles from the following users who don't speak Scots? (The first three are the same person.)

• Special:Contributions/Fixer88
• Special:Contributions/City of Tragedy
• Special:Contributions/Metal Velocidad

• Special:Contributions/Varlaam

I don't speak Scots myself, but I just think these articles should ideally be deleted if they're bad enough.
