Talk:Border pipes

message: There is a comment, shortly to be deleted, on the bagpipes page that border pipe refers to any kind of pipe played on the Scottish-English border.  Semantically true, but for most people 'border pipe' means what is described in the article, not a pipe that fell out of use two hundred years ago. Calum 11:46, 27 February 2006 (UKC)
The other kinds of pipe played on the Scottish border have more precise names of their own.
Scottish smallpipes, keyless Northumbrian smallpipes, pastoral pipes, and perhaps Highland pipes for example. The modern usage 'Border pipes' usually refers to the revival of the commonest type of outdoor bagpipes then found in northern England and the Scottish lowlands, characterised by a conical bore and 3 drones in a common stock. Deleting what could be a misleadingly broad definition would be helpful.John Gibbons2 12:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope.  Check the page history - most of the work on this article was done by John Gibbons, and a fine effort it is too.  bagpiper.com (ugh, what a name) has just lifted the text straight off the article without attribution, something that happens regularly to bagpipe articles (my article on Gordon Duncan, for example, can also be found inhabiting the blogosphere).

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section on description refers to a photo, but the links for it point to an Indonesian gambling site. I deleted them as there is no point maintaining deliberate link rot, but perhaps someone else knows what photo this refers to and has a good link. The problem appears to hav even there for a while. 22:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
