La Honda, Californie

Hello,

I had attempted to translate a part of the article on La Honda, Californie from English to Scots last year. I recently noticed I'd mistyped 'Spaingie' as 'Spangie' on there, and believe there may be other typos as my experience with Scots is mostly from reading Matthew Fitt's novels ^^'. Could you give the article a look when you have the chance? Thank you for your time.

(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!

Hope to see you there! Sara Thomas (WMUK) (tauk) 13:44, 8 Dizember 2020 (UTC)

Yo. You realise she is [now] a widow, thus the Dowager Princess? Hence me asking you to include Dowager in the title. 51.6.94.146 (talk) 10:11, 11 Dizember 2020 (UTC)

I was told to change it by an administrator. He thought this was a more apt title. YoungstownToast (tauk) 16:42, 11 Dizember 2020 (UTC)
