(in Inglis) Next editathon!

Hey there, as a previous attendee of a Scots Wiki editathon, I thought you might like to know about the December event, Sat 12 & Sun 13th. In addition to the usual wiki support, this month I'm really excited to say that we'll have language support in place from the Scots Language Centre, who'll be online between 12-3 on Zoom on Saturday with us to help with any of your queries. 

There are as always jobs that non/lower level Scots speakers can do - articles always need things like citations, categories, wikilinks & images.  There's a lot of work like this to be done, and it's all really valuable!

• Eventbrite link to sign up to Saturday Zoom session
• On-wiki event page

Hope to see you there! Sara Thomas (WMUK) (tauk) 13:43, 8 Dizember 2020 (UTC)

(in Inglis) Sunday 13th December - extra zoom session with the Scots Language Centre!

We've added another session for the editathon this weekend, with the folks from the SLC. Join us on Zoom for editing 12-3 on Sunday now too; we can help with wiki and language queries :) Book your place on Eventbrite here. Sara Thomas (WMUK) (tauk) 16:35, 11 Dizember 2020 (UTC)

Aye... Mony thanks K Kaybeesquared (tauk) 10:35, 27 Januar 2021 (UTC)

(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. More info, article lists, and sign up details on the event page: Wikipedia:Scots Wikipedia Editathon Januar 2021. Sara Thomas (WMUK) (tauk) 10:04, 27 Januar 2021 (UTC)

(in Inglis) Thanks for taking part in the January editathon!

Just as it says above - thanks for taking part. You can see the results of January's event here, I reckon we did pretty well. Hope to see you at the next one! Sara Thomas (WMUK) (tauk) 18:05, 3 Februar 2021 (UTC)

Great well done all super images now too. Hope to help again if I can..

Question

Hi, I see your user page says you don't speak Scots. If you don't speak Scots, why are you writing here? Foxes die! (tauk) 16:28, 27 Juin 2024 (UTC)

Hi there @Foxes die!. @Kaybeesquared is a Scots speaker, and is learning more about written Scots. She's taking part in this month's writing drive, and is always careful to check her work with other Scots speakers. Please remember to assume good faith. Sara Thomas (WMUK) (tauk) 17:06, 27 Juin 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I understand. Thank you to @Sara Thomas (WMUK) for your reply and thank you to @Kaybeesquared for updating your user page. Foxes die! (tauk) 17:42, 27 Juin 2024 (UTC)
