Talk:Scottish Greens

message: The section on the the party's policy refers to "four interconnected principles" and then lists 5 dot-point statements.
Are there five principles or should two of them be amalgamated?

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: Excepting the 2007 election, the Party had increased its vote at every comparable election since 1999.
This sounds like party spin - one could equally talk about the vote going up and down in cycles. And at the moment the general election pages (bar 2005) are either showing just the English & Welsh Greens or showing all Green candidates under one total (which the media often do).
Although it currently only stands for the Scottish Parliament,
Is this a recent formal decision by the party? It stood in the last Westminster, European and local elections. Timrollpickering 19:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The We Campaign is not a Scottish Green Party project - and is not a valid reference from the five principles listed here.  Why has it been linked?

thread_title:  We Campaign? 

message: Compromise.  The article lists Green Party of England and Wales, the Green Party in Northern Ireland and the Green Party of Ireland.  I propose to state that the Scottish Green party cooperates with the other Green Parties of UK and ROI.  It's more factually accurate than GB&I or BI.  --HighKing (talk) 00:24, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But that's not a compromise, Bardy, because it achieves your objective of removing BI. Does it not co-operate with Green parties on the Isle of Man? TharkunColl (talk) 00:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there an Isle of Man Green party??  Anyway, the cooperation mainly stems from cooperation in the EU parliment as part of the EU Green Party, but there's also cooperation of sorts at a global level  --HighKing (talk) 00:43, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And BTW, my objective is for accuracy.  Yes, I'm focussing on usage of the term British Isles, but who knows what I'll focus on next.  I rather like the idea of making sure that usage of North America includes Canada and Mexico, and not a shorthand for USA.  Not sure yet... --HighKing (talk) 00:45, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

message: My website has a full copy of the Scottish Green Party manifesto. We're driving towards having a copy of all English-language political manifestos of every political party in the world on our site in the same/similar format. Most of the content on the Scottish Green Party website is contained in PDF files. As more and more manifestos are added over time, my site could become a useful resource for Wikipedia. Declaration of Interest: I own the site so shouldn't add the link myself. Full Scottish Green Party Manifesto
Looks useful, but I believe there is supposed to be also a "Policy Reference Document" - which may be difficult to get hold of

message: There are a couple of problems with the Co-Leaders section of the page.  I fixed these a while ago but the same errors have returned, namely:
1) Lorna Slater has been the party's Co-Leader since 2019.  The current section confuses Parliamentary Leader with the Party Co-Leader.  If Parliamentary Leaders are to be introduced, this should have its own section rather than provide an inaccurate account of the party's leadership.
2) There is no such thing as 'Male Co-Leader' or 'Female Co-Leader.'  The only requirement is that one of the Co-Leaders be a woman, but it is also possible that two women could serve as Leaders. ShetlandElects (talk) 15:48, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says, "A maximum of one of the co-leaders may identify as a man", so presumably both co-leaders could be men provided that at least one of them identified as non-binary or as a woman. JezGrove (talk) 08:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
