I'm sorry to have blanked so much of the above article the other day and do not understand why the copyvios had been there for so long. I hope that it didn't affect any of your edits. I'm also pleased to see that you got rid of the weird stuff about evacuation sites etc, which seemed to me to be bordering on a conspiracy theory (but I wasn't sure!). More, I'm really pleased that you are now rebuilding the thing: it needed to be done, and it needed to be done properly. Which you are doing, well. - Sitush (talk) 17:37, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Castles in the United Kingdom and Ireland...
...given your interest in Scottish castles, I thought I might flag up the recent expansion of the Castles in the United Kingdom and Ireland article. I'm keenly aware that I'm stronger on English castle history than I am on Scotland's, however, so if you've a chance to have a look at it, I'd very much value your opinions on whether or not I've got the core arguments pertaining to Scottish castles right in the article. Yours, Hchc2009 (talk) 16:45, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

The DYK project (nominate) 18:04, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Jonathan, I had reason to look at the facts of Rullion Green. I've improved things a bit but am well out of my subject matter expertise. Do you know which, if any, extra categories should be added to draw the attention of people who are active in Scottish milhist? Thanks.

Edinburgh Castle A-Class review
Because the allotted period has expired I've closed the review for Edinburgh Castle. Unfortunately there was no consensus among reviewers to promote the article this time around, but I hope that the review was useful and has led to improvements in the article. I noticed that it was C-Class, so for now I've reassessed it as B-Class (which it easily meets). I've also built the {{Article History}} template on the talk page to combine some of the information there.
Thank you for your interest in the Military history project's A-Class review process and for your fine contributions to Wikipedia. All the best, EyeSerenetalk 10:12, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Kirkcaldy
thanks for that. i was really worried that the article was being ignored in favour of other more important topics. all that was done was a tweak to the date of the nomination, which has been listed as today's date instead of the 16th of July. Kilnburn (talk) 19:00, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
The article was written after discussion with the museum curator who is being asked to verify the content when she is next at work. There was prior agreement to the use of material, and I am awaiting agreement as to which image(s) I can use. Actually, I had not meant to publish it in the main area until all that was done - I thought I was writing it in my user space. Silly me. Shipsview (talk) 13:46, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
Your re-write of the Craigiehall article states that Ritchie Camp is to be re-developed. I am not so sure. The camp no longer exists - it is now an estate of very comfortable looking houses. Ritchie Camp is not mentioned, as far as I can see in the MOD proposals, as the site for the new barracks. I think, given the size and scale, that they will be built around the airfield. But that is guesswork. Shipsview (talk) 09:37, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Country house
Hi, now that Country house is a disambiguation page, please don't forget to WP:FIXDABLINKS. This tool will help. Cheers, --JaGatalk 23:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
- Actually I've reverted your change. I reviewed the over 600 dablinks you'd created, and all the ones I looked at were for the English Country House. If you want this to be a disambig, you should fix those links first. --JaGatalk 23:26, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Kirkcaldy
hi Jonathan, can you have a look at the article for me? since the failed nomination for feature article status back in July this year, the article has undergone a copy-edit and tidy-up. however, i have added a bit of information since then about East Burn and Tiel (West) Burn, the covenanting wars, Kirkcaldy War Memorial and recent developments on The Old Kirk. the article still requires a lot of work and i would like to put the article forward again for FAC, sometime next year.
what i have done is include a [1] to my own talk page, as advised by Mutt Lunker who has also been giving me a lot of work recently but does not know the FA process very well. i am also wondering do you think it would be a good idea for the article to undergo another peer review?
