User talk:Scotchguy
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions!
You might like to check out our tutorial, a resource created especially for new users like yourself.
You also may want to introduce yourself to the community at the new user log.
I would suggest a look through our policies and guidelines.
If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page, or at our questions forum.
I hope very much you enjoy being here with us, and I wish you luck with your contributions.
Additional tips
[edit]Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

Hi Scotchguy, I'm Royalguard11, a voluteer advocate from the AMA, and I have accepted your case. If the user is just a basic vandaliam account, report the user to WP:AIV, using the instructions there. You may also want to leave the user a warning using one of the templates at WP:UTM. If you need any more help, contact me on my talk page. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 21:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Are you still in need of advocacy? If not, then I would encourage you to fill in the followup. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 21:42, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Since you haven't indicated that you still need it, I'm closing your case. I'd encourage you to fill in the followup still. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 00:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
IPA
[edit]please refrain from removing IPA pronunciation guides from articles. They may seem like nonsense to you but it is wikipedia policy to use the IPA for pronunciation. It is the only really accurate way to represent pronunciation and is especially helpful for representing words in languages such as Irish and Scottish Gaelic, whose orthography is very different from English. --Krsont 15:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
What is your objection to this map? Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 03:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Please remember this policy. The tone of your message was unnecessarily hostile. If you had looked at the map you would see that it had been revised entirely. As for your contention that Island single malts do not exist, I refer you to The Island Whiskey Trail by Neil Wilson (Glasgow: Angel's Share, 2003.)

- ScotchGuy 13:43, 13 December 2006 (UTC)I really don't care what you think of my tone. There's also a policy against adding erroneous information and reposting things over and over.
Why are you so god-aweful eager to add a map (that is wrong) - because you made it? I refer you to the SWA who are the official "keepers of the regions". There is no Island region.
There is controversy about the regions. I noted the controversy in the map description, and cited sources. COntinuing to remove the map is just vandalism. If you want to add some sources that say there is no such region, then that's fine. If you're so convinced the region doesn't exist, why don't you file an AFD on its article?

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
