(in Inglis) We're an online group that has formed to fix all of the bad Scots Wikipedia articles, help out the site's admins by teaching them proper Scots, and generally improve the quality of the Wiki.

This time, we're trying "writing drives", where we'll have a week where we can make time to write for the wiki any time throughout. You can write as little or as much as you'd like.

The theme for this event will be Things invented in Scotland and Ireland. We'll also be working on Scotland stub articles. (w:Category:Scotland stubs)
