2020年8月25日 · The Scots language version of Wikipedia is legendarily bad. People embroiled in linguistic debates about Scots often use it as evidence that Scots isn’t a language, and if it was an accurate representation, they’d probably be right.

2020年8月25日 · It was originally founded by Scottish people to promote the Scots language by creating a Wikipedia entirely written in their native tongue. It's still supposed to do that, but we're an extremely far distance away from that ideal. Maybe we're farther than when we started. I still think it's worth trying though.

2020年8月25日 · Wikipedia isn’t banned in Iran (it was banned for a long time in China and Turkey, explaining the low participation)—the Iranian government has apparently even encouraged editing—and most Iranians don’t seem to speak a European language at a sufficient level, which is probably why Persian wiki attracts as much activity as major European ...

2021年9月14日 · Started in 2005, Scots Wikipedia is probably one of the biggest Scots-language resources on the web. Supporters of Scots point to it as proof that Scots is a living, thriving language that deserves to be taken seriously.

Dr Sara Thomas, Marco Cafolla and Ciphrius Kane share their thoughts on the progress made in the last year.

2021年3月29日 · A large number of articles which were created by the user in question have been deleted through an automated process, directed with one of the former high-profile users on the site (but not the editor who gained media attention) as well as other articles created by problematic users or which were in fake Scots (if you look at the number of ...

2021年9月5日 · The first few weekends organised to clean up the Scots Wikipedia pages did have the issue of well-meaning people wanting to help out, having been caught up in the media hype and wanting to do some good (which I see nothing wrong with, I was grateful they wanted to try). In some cases they did know some Scots, but not enough to actually edit ...
