message: WikiProject Biography Assessment
This could be a better B --- It's still lacking a picture, and the top of the article is very brief, but the rest is very thorough.
The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 02:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your advice.  I've started an infobox, but I'm not sure how to go about getting a picture.  Anyone know a fair-use one? Gwinva 10:48, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: As a long-time reader of Nigel Tranter, I have amassed quite a library of his books, with information on the dating of his historical stories.  I think this is a good resource for those accessing Wikipedia for info on Scottish history, if the books are cross-referenced with historical figures.  However, this is too big a task for me to enter it all.  Are there any other Tranter lovers who are also thinking similar thoughts?  Perhaps we could develop some strategy together.  Is there enough information to create pages for his major books, or perhaps we could design a template or table?  Any thoughts welcome! Gwinva 15:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good for you Gwinva! I don't have the Tranter knowledge to do this myself, but would love to see it done by those who are more knowledgeable than I. -- Derek Ross | Talk 01:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks: careless errors, which I have corrected.  It would be good to get some input from other Tranter fans: thanks for the note on the Yahoo site.  It's rather a large project for one person to manage, and I've run out of steam a bit.  Any contributions welcome! Gwinva 10:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bibliography

message: I've made a good start over the past few days, to establish the structure.  Here's a list of things that need to be done: Gwinva 22:08, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have revised this. Gwinva 14:52, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

text: have begun page Westminster Stone theory which I hope to expand.  Gwinva 16:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Have brought the Westminster Stone page up to good length and extent, with Tranter references, and linked to the main Stone of Scone page.  Still need to discuss/indicate on this page Tranter's involvement as intermediary in the 1950 removal from Westminster.  Gwinva 17:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Things to do

message: We don't need three articles for one author's bibliography. We need one. And I don't care when is his time-frame writing. I really don't. It's not prudent and it's not good-looking. So, I am going to make huge, huge changes on this entire shit and it will be better for it. But that will happen tomorrow...

thread_title:  Ridiculous

message: And Tomorrow never came - And it looks like the promises made by a "Huge" critic to make it better never materialised. It would have been a fitting tribute to such a prolific Scottish writer if Gwinva's desire for a unified approach to the information for Nigel Tranter could have been taken up seriously. I'm on this page precisely because I'm enjoying one of Tranter's books "The Story of Scotland (1987). I very much appreciate the information written about Tranter and do not expect to improve on the information already displayed.

message: See above problems, dating back to 2007. No need to have three articles on one rather unnotable author's bibliography. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:41, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
