(in Inglis) Schedule

If you're not totally confident about your written Scots and would like to do some collaborative editing with some Scots language writers from the Scots Language Centre, then sign up for one of these sessions! We choose an article to edit or translate, and then a group of folk can work through the editing, figuring out as we go how the article should look in Scots. Other folk about might be able to help with finding sources, images, or other articles to link to. We'll also have Sara from Wikimedia UK on hand to help with Wiki queries.
