Talk:Dubh Artach

message: GameKeeper, I have just added the box on the article page, and the co-ords in Nicholson (1995) are slightly different from the ones you added at the top. Yours may well be more accurate. If you believe them to be so could you amend the box accordingly or vice versa? (Nicholson only quotes degree and minutes, no seconds). Thanks, Ben MacDui 16:23, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Mystery solved - according to the NLB the painting is by Sam Bough. I am afraid the title on the image frame is just a guess. However if anyone knows how to get hold of a copy of the original booklet - 'The New Lighthouse on the Dhu Heartach Rock, Argyllshire. Edited with an Introduction by Roger G. Swearingen (1995)' by RLS, which is probably out of print, I'd be pleased to hear from them. I have contacted all four organisations on the cover. None are available in Scotland; no reply from the USA as yet. Ben MacDui (Talk) 21:47, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
*Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.
*This article has no images. Please see if there are any free use images that fall under WP:IUP and WP:IT that can be uploaded. To upload images on Wikipedia, go to Special:Upload; to upload non-fair use images on the Wikimedia Commons, go to commons:special:upload.
*See if possible if there is a free use image that can go on the top right corner of this article. 
*Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of undefined, use undefined undefined, which when you are editing the page, should look like: undefined undefined.
*When writing standard abbreviations, the abbreviations should not have a 's' to demark plurality (change kms to km and lbs to lb).
*As per WP:MOSDATE, dates shouldn't use th; for example, instead of using January 30th was a great day, use January 30 was a great day.
*Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.
You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Ben MacDui (Talk) 20:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Auto peer review

message: Getting really close, but only one thing bothers me:
 
* The Later events section, point 5, doesn't completely explain why the name of the lighthouse was changed from Dhuheartach to Dubh Artach. Is there no real or speculative reason to be found? If so, just say so, but your second paragraph implies that there is more infomation to be had on this subject?
I have updated this list to include only the remaining point that I feel is left and I'll update the 'On Hold' status.
BTW:Looking at you use of the word 'probably' again, I understand that must be a quote from your publication.

message: Hi there, I e-mailed the West Lothian Sub-Aqua club and they gave us permission to use their picture from their website on Wikipedia. I've uploaded the picture here and left it for someone else's choice on postiton and size, but you may want to licence it better:

thread_title:  Current photo 

message: I've created a location map as requested on Scottish Wikipedians' notice board. The image is based on a non-scalable png file. If you would rather loose the contour information but have the image of lossless quality let me know and I will make it a vector graphic image.
I struggled to put it on the main page and have it look nice. I feel, in this case, having Orkney and Shetland on the map is distracting. At some point creating a location map without Orkney and Shetland might be a good idea as for showing locations they distract from the message trying to be put across. I suppose I should discuss that elsewhere.
Also I don't know if you would rather have a higher quality image, but still zoomed in to the west coast? An idea which has just occurred to me is to create a vector image with all of Scotland small in a corner, with a box drawn on it to show which section of the west coast we are showing in more detail. What do people think of this idea? I'll have a play when I have some time. 
I've left the new map on the main page as even with the drawbacks it seems better than what was there. Mehmet Karatay 21:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
