Talk:Shapinsay

message: Unfortunately Haswell-Smith and www.orkneyjar.com don't agree, and the latter is little aspecific. Neither cite their own sources. I have assumed that 'Scalpandisay' is a Celtic era adaptation of an Old Norse phrase, but this is simply a guess. This reappears in a modern guise of the Legends role playing game which refers to 'Scalpandisay or Judge’s islands,' Legends Role Playing 4th Edition Rules Retrieved 7 April 2007. which trivia I leave here as it might be of interest if the above can be sorted out.

message: suite101.com is blacklisted by some Wikimedia spam filter. I have removed the '101' in the web address http://www.suite.com/article.cfm/all_things_scottish/28389 so that the page can be saved. I will try to get it whitelisted. If not there may be another suitable reference. I notice one of the two uses is in H-Smith (re kelp), and is basically a quote suite101 nicked from there, which may be why the site is blacklisted.

thread_title:  BBC Island blog 

message: The article is very well written and well referenced. I believe it mostly meets the Good Article criteria. There's a couple of minor issues that need to be resolved before the article can be promoted, though. I did make a lot of copyedits, though most of these are pretty minor.
* The first two sentences ("With an area of 2,948 hectares (11 sq mi), Shapinsay is the eighth largest Orkney Island and the 29th largest Scottish island. The highest point of Ward Hill is only 64 metres (210 ft) above sea level.") in the geography section have no inline citations. Facts and figures need to be cited. Done.

message: This article really needs a detail map of the island, as there are so many references to places on it, leaving one to wonder where they are and how they relate to one another. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:18, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I am reviewing this very old FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. The article was promoted in 2007 and its main contributor has not edited since 2008.  There is uncited text and the article does not appear to have been maintained, as most of the citations and content date to 2008 or before.  I have listed it at WP:FARGIVEN.
