== (En) New idea: Featurt uiser ==

It'd be nice to be able to highlight the contributions of our users for a change. Instead of doing &quot;On this day&quot; (which almost always is a redlink), we could do a featurt uiser and some articles they contributed to. Anyone have thoughts on this? &amp;#8211;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:CG Times&quot;&gt;[[User:MJL|&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;MJL&lt;/span&gt;]]&amp;thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Tauk'''‐]]&lt;sup&gt;[[Special:CentralAuth/MJL|☖]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 17:47, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

== (En) Removal ==

Should the &quot;On this day&quot; section be removed? According to [https://sco.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?sort=create_timestamp_desc&amp;search=intitle%3A%2FOn+this+day%2F&amp;title=Special:Search&amp;profile=advanced&amp;fulltext=1&amp;advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&amp;ns10=1 this], there really isn't anyone updating (creating) it often enough and the main page is broken because of this.
:In addition, the DYK section has not been created and it's near the end of January. [[Uiser:Minorax|Minorax]] ([[Uiser collogue:Minorax|tauk]]) 05:57, 27 Januar 2020 (UTC)
::{{re|Minorax}} I've long contemplated whether or not it's worth it to keep that section around. One of my long shot ideas was to replace it with a &quot;Featurt uiser&quot; section or something to celebrate our many contributors.&lt;br /&gt;What do you think we should replace it with? &amp;#8211;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:CG Times&quot;&gt;[[User:MJL|&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;MJL&lt;/span&gt;]]&amp;thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Tauk'''‐]]&lt;sup&gt;[[Special:CentralAuth/MJL|☖]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 05:53, 6 Februar 2020 (UTC)

:::::{{re|MJL}} The &quot;On this day&quot; section can be kept if someone is free enough to create templates for the remaining 261 days. 1 suggestion is that someone can translate them from en.wiki, taking from pages [[:en:January 1]], [[:en:January 2]], etc. The &quot;Featured picture&quot; section definitely needs to be taken out as consensus is needed to make an image into a featured one. Also, perhaps the DYK section can stretch across the entire page so it can have a larger image. [[Uiser:Minorax|Minorax]] ([[Uiser collogue:Minorax|tauk]]) 07:58, 7 Februar 2020 (UTC)
::::::{{re|Minorax}} Generally, consensus isn't really required in the traditional sense to promote things to the Main Page. What normally happens is an admin (or any other interested party) will just fill up the spot with whatever content they feel is high enough quality.

:::::::As for promoting an image on the main page, we do have thousands of featured pictures on Commons. They can be promoted to Featured images status here too. But we'll need captions in Scots of the images we are promoting. I don't think just posting is enough. We'll have to describe what the image is about in this wiki's language.

:::::::{{re|MJL}} as per above, &quot;copying&quot; images from commons is a good option but probably have a weekly featured images instead of a daily one.

::::::::{{re|Minorax|Masumrezarock100}} The images are promoted for a month, and the captions aren't really an issue to translate.

== (En) Seriously? ==

What the hell is that racist wikipedia? Are Scots meant to be portrayed as drunken, blubbering retards unable to speak properly? Is it a troll wiki or something? {{unsigned|‎2a01:cb08:8c6d:1900:8b0:e686:7d71:72bf}}

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis. 
:This is a great opportunity to correct the problem in a semi-automated fashion supported by the [https://www.scotslanguage.com/news/5724 more than 100 pro-Scots Scots speakers who have agreed to help so far.]

::Maybe it wasn't intended to be racist, but to me, it comes off as such. If I could actually speak Scottish, I'd gladly help, but turns out I'd be more helpful on an encyclopedia ABOUT Scotland than in Scottish, so I'll refrain. I'll still be lurking this wiki from time to time, because I'm curious to check how Scottish differs from other Celtic languages, like Welsh. All the best! (And seriously, quality should beat quantity. There's something really wrong with the wikis, and I hope there aren't any other rotten apples).

Many thanks to [[Uiser:Cobra 3000]] for updating the &quot;Newsins&quot; (for the first time since the last time that was done by AG on Apr 2, 2020!), although they're not able to do it permanently.

== [En] Scots language on Telegram! ==

Since this week, Telegram has a new platform for translating its app to Scots language. There aren't translators yet, so please join to the platform and translate the Telegram app to Scots. It will be great for this language to be more present in technology. To begin translating Telegram to Scots, go to the Scots Platform Group through this link: https://t.me/translation_scots

== (En) Articles which may not be in Scots ==

Please accept my apologies if this is not the right place to post this. If it is not, please move this section to the correct page and leave a pointer here in its place.

I've recently performed an automated analysis of the ScoWiki articles, and I suggest that the following may not be in correct Scots. I understand that many are false positives because they contain properly included non-Scots, but I was not confident in my ability to remove those by hand. I would appreciate such help from native speakers.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects. But they all also have a standardized form of their language. I think it would be most helpful if this wiki was in a standardized Scots.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 15:10, 16 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

== (En) New idea: Featurt uiser ==

It'd be nice to be able to highlight the contributions of our users for a change. Instead of doing &quot;On this day&quot; (which almost always is a redlink), we could do a featurt uiser and some articles they contributed to. Anyone have thoughts on this? &amp;#8211;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:CG Times&quot;&gt;[[User:MJL|&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;MJL&lt;/span&gt;]]&amp;thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Tauk'''‐]]&lt;sup&gt;[[Special:CentralAuth/MJL|☖]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 17:47, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

== (En) Removal ==

Should the &quot;On this day&quot; section be removed? According to [https://sco.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?sort=create_timestamp_desc&amp;search=intitle%3A%2FOn+this+day%2F&amp;title=Special:Search&amp;profile=advanced&amp;fulltext=1&amp;advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&amp;ns10=1 this], there really isn't anyone updating (creating) it often enough and the main page is broken because of this.

::{{re|Minorax}} I've long contemplated whether or not it's worth it to keep that section around.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
:Is it color or colour? Theorise or theorize?  Oestrogen or estrogen?  Wow, English must be a fake language with all this inconsistency [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 10:15, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects. But they all also have a standardized form of their language. I think it would be most helpful if this wiki was in a standardized Scots.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 15:10, 16 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.
::Without this, there is little that identifies the difference between Scots as a dialect/accent, and Scots as a language. [[Uiser:RazorPantherz|RazorPantherz]] ([[Uiser collogue:RazorPantherz|tauk]]) 11:35, 18 Apryle 2024 (UTC)

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language.

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

== (En) Archive.today ==
Haven't contributed in a while, still want to help. On English Wikipedia, archive.today has been deprecated. The operator used the site as a browser-based botnet to do a DDoS attack, and some archives have been altered just as petty revenge on a Finnish security blogger. Keeping it on here is a danger to both editors and our readers. There are hundreds, if not thousands of citations using it on this wiki, you can see here: [https://sco.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&amp;limit=500&amp;offset=0&amp;target=archive.today].

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

== (En) Archive.today ==
Haven't contributed in a while, still want to help. On English Wikipedia, archive.today has been deprecated. The operator used the site as a browser-based botnet to do a DDoS attack, and some archives have been altered just as petty revenge on a Finnish security blogger. Keeping it on here is a danger to both editors and our readers. There are hundreds, if not thousands of citations using it on this wiki, you can see here: [https://sco.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&amp;limit=500&amp;offset=0&amp;target=archive.today].

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

== [En] Scots language on Telegram! ==

Since this week, Telegram has a new platform for translating its app to Scots language. There aren't translators yet, so please join to the platform and translate the Telegram app to Scots. It will be great for this language to be more present in technology. To begin translating Telegram to Scots, go to the Scots Platform Group through this link: https://t.me/translation_scots

== (En) Articles which may not be in Scots ==

Please accept my apologies if this is not the right place to post this. If it is not, please move this section to the correct page and leave a pointer here in its place.

I've recently performed an automated analysis of the ScoWiki articles, and I suggest that the following may not be in correct Scots. I understand that many are false positives because they contain properly included non-Scots, but I was not confident in my ability to remove those by hand. I would appreciate such help from native speakers.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects. But they all also have a standardized form of their language. I think it would be most helpful if this wiki was in a standardized Scots.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 15:10, 16 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages.

It'd be nice to be able to highlight the contributions of our users for a change.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects. But they all also have a standardized form of their language. I think it would be most helpful if this wiki was in a standardized Scots.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 15:10, 16 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked.

== (En) New idea: Featurt uiser ==

It'd be nice to be able to highlight the contributions of our users for a change. Instead of doing &quot;On this day&quot; (which almost always is a redlink), we could do a featurt uiser and some articles they contributed to. Anyone have thoughts on this? &amp;#8211;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:CG Times&quot;&gt;[[User:MJL|&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;MJL&lt;/span&gt;]]&amp;thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Tauk'''‐]]&lt;sup&gt;[[Special:CentralAuth/MJL|☖]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 17:47, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

== (En) Removal ==

Should the &quot;On this day&quot; section be removed?

::{{re|Minorax}} I've long contemplated whether or not it's worth it to keep that section around.

:::::{{re|MJL}} The &quot;On this day&quot; section can be kept if someone is free enough to create templates for the remaining 261 days. 1 suggestion is that someone can translate them from en.wiki, taking from pages [[:en:January 1]], [[:en:January 2]], etc. The &quot;Featured picture&quot; section definitely needs to be taken out as consensus is needed to make an image into a featured one.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects.

[[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 15:10, 16 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

== (En) New idea: Featurt uiser ==

It'd be nice to be able to highlight the contributions of our users for a change. Instead of doing &quot;On this day&quot; (which almost always is a redlink), we could do a featurt uiser and some articles they contributed to. Anyone have thoughts on this? &amp;#8211;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:CG Times&quot;&gt;[[User:MJL|&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;MJL&lt;/span&gt;]]&amp;thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Tauk'''‐]]&lt;sup&gt;[[Special:CentralAuth/MJL|☖]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 17:47, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

== (En) Removal ==

Should the &quot;On this day&quot; section be removed? According to [https://sco.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?sort=create_timestamp_desc&amp;search=intitle%3A%2FOn+this+day%2F&amp;title=Special:Search&amp;profile=advanced&amp;fulltext=1&amp;advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&amp;ns10=1 this], there really isn't anyone updating (creating) it often enough and the main page is broken because of this.
:In addition, the DYK section has not been created and it's near the end of January. [[Uiser:Minorax|Minorax]] ([[Uiser collogue:Minorax|tauk]]) 05:57, 27 Januar 2020 (UTC)
::{{re|Minorax}} I've long contemplated whether or not it's worth it to keep that section around. One of my long shot ideas was to replace it with a &quot;Featurt uiser&quot; section or something to celebrate our many contributors.&lt;br /&gt;What do you think we should replace it with? &amp;#8211;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:CG Times&quot;&gt;[[User:MJL|&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;MJL&lt;/span&gt;]]&amp;thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Tauk'''‐]]&lt;sup&gt;[[Special:CentralAuth/MJL|☖]]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 05:53, 6 Februar 2020 (UTC)

:::::{{re|MJL}} The &quot;On this day&quot; section can be kept if someone is free enough to create templates for the remaining 261 days. 1 suggestion is that someone can translate them from en.wiki, taking from pages [[:en:January 1]], [[:en:January 2]], etc. The &quot;Featured picture&quot; section definitely needs to be taken out as consensus is needed to make an image into a featured one. Also, perhaps the DYK section can stretch across the entire page so it can have a larger image. [[Uiser:Minorax|Minorax]] ([[Uiser collogue:Minorax|tauk]]) 07:58, 7 Februar 2020 (UTC)
::::::{{re|Minorax}} Generally, consensus isn't really required in the traditional sense to promote things to the Main Page. What normally happens is an admin (or any other interested party) will just fill up the spot with whatever content they feel is high enough quality.

:::::::As for promoting an image on the main page, we do have thousands of featured pictures on Commons. They can be promoted to Featured images status here too.

:::::::{{re|MJL}} as per above, &quot;copying&quot; images from commons is a good option but probably have a weekly featured images instead of a daily one.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis. 
:This is a great opportunity to correct the problem in a semi-automated fashion supported by the [https://www.scotslanguage.com/news/5724 more than 100 pro-Scots Scots speakers who have agreed to help so far.]

::Maybe it wasn't intended to be racist, but to me, it comes off as such. If I could actually speak Scottish, I'd gladly help, but turns out I'd be more helpful on an encyclopedia ABOUT Scotland than in Scottish, so I'll refrain. I'll still be lurking this wiki from time to time, because I'm curious to check how Scottish differs from other Celtic languages, like Welsh. All the best!

Please accept my apologies if this is not the right place to post this. If it is not, please move this section to the correct page and leave a pointer here in its place.

I understand that many are false positives because they contain properly included non-Scots, but I was not confident in my ability to remove those by hand. I would appreciate such help from native speakers.

Any method of requesting articles to be deleted for this edition? An example would be this [[Storm (Malagasy baund)|article on an obscure Malagasy metal band from the 2000s]]. There's no value here and I doubt there are many Scottish people who are into Malagasy metal bands, much less Malagasy music in general. It's almost certainly written in bogus Scots. It would be a great way to get this Wiki back up to speed and clear the absolutely irrelevant crap like this.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects. But they all also have a standardized form of their language. I think it would be most helpful if this wiki was in a standardized Scots.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 15:10, 16 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed.

I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language.

leid vs leed

A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.
::Without this, there is little that identifies the difference between Scots as a dialect/accent, and Scots as a language. [[Uiser:RazorPantherz|RazorPantherz]] ([[Uiser collogue:RazorPantherz|tauk]]) 11:35, 18 Apryle 2024 (UTC)

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language.

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Haven't contributed in a while, still want to help. On English Wikipedia, archive.today has been deprecated.

Keeping it on here is a danger to both editors and our readers.

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language.

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

I don't know any Scots (I mean I can get the gist of it since it's so close to English) but I do know several programming languages.

== (En) Archive.today ==
Haven't contributed in a while, still want to help. On English Wikipedia, archive.today has been deprecated. The operator used the site as a browser-based botnet to do a DDoS attack, and some archives have been altered just as petty revenge on a Finnish security blogger. Keeping it on here is a danger to both editors and our readers. There are hundreds, if not thousands of citations using it on this wiki, you can see here: [https://sco.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&amp;limit=500&amp;offset=0&amp;target=archive.today]. Should we deprecate it like English Wikipedia? [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 14:10, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

:(en) Oh, looked at @[[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]]'s talk page, appears it's already been agreed that it's no good. Well, I am in the process of converting this tool[https://fixarchive.toolforge.org/] for Swedish Wikipedia (see GitHub repository here[https://github.com/DarthCalvinus/swedish-wikipedia-archive-today-detector/tree/toolforge-deploy]). I can convert it for scowiki too (though it'll have to be in English at first) [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 14:18, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
:(en) 764 is a far cry from &quot;thousands&quot; and we've slowly been removing them (even set it up as a task [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject The Big Wiki Rewrite/WikiBrounies#Removing bad / unreliable_sources|here]] back in August). If that tool can get rid of the rest, great. From what I've seen enwiki's just been hiding the links rather than removing them, something I'm not exactly keen on [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:32, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
::(en) What the tool does is it'll scan all the citations in an article you give it and then it finds whether or not there's a good regular Internet Archive replacement for it. If there is, it'll give you the link. It can also scan each article in a category you give it as well. [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 14:38, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
::(en) In addition to that tool, I also already have a prototype script (on Swedish Wikipedia) that can scan pages and automatically replace archive.today links when possible. [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 14:40, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
::@[[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] I've done a few tests on Swedish Wikipedia of my prototype script, so far, so good, I'll have to make sure it also updates the recorded timestamp as it can change, but besides that it's largely ready. Do you approve of bringing it here and beginning to test it, once I make that one change? [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 15:25, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
:::Just a couple of questions: where does it output the results and does it keep a log?

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages. But a bot that removes or replaces archive today has my support, regards [[Uiser:Atlantic306|Atlantic306]] ([[Uiser collogue:Atlantic306|tauk]]) 21:27, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
::Alright, I'll continue to prepare the script. I will begin doing some tests on pages with archive.today links; if they end up accidentally doing something wrong, I will self-revert.

::It's coming along pretty well, just added a reliable source scanner, and it works. You can see in [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat/archivelog|my log]] an unsuccessful and then successful scan of [[Ceety o Wastmeenster]], the second one noting an unreliable source. Now that I've built in the scanning capability, I could leave it as is, merely logging them, or I could delete them, delete only the ones that both are unreliable and have archive.today citations, or whatever else we need.

::::Sure. I'm running out of time so I'll have to implement that tomorrow during the final preparations, but it won't be too much trouble. [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 23:36, 15 October 2026 (UTC)
::::Implemented! I ran a scan over Category:Inglis-leid films and it updated a few articles, and all edits went as expected. Haven't checked the links it replaced themselves yet (I will later if someone else doesn't first) but it does seem to work.

It'd be nice to be able to highlight the contributions of our users for a change.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

== (En) Archive.today ==
Haven't contributed in a while, still want to help. On English Wikipedia, archive.today has been deprecated. The operator used the site as a browser-based botnet to do a DDoS attack, and some archives have been altered just as petty revenge on a Finnish security blogger. Keeping it on here is a danger to both editors and our readers. There are hundreds, if not thousands of citations using it on this wiki, you can see here: [https://sco.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&amp;limit=500&amp;offset=0&amp;target=archive.today].

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis. 
:This is a great opportunity to correct the problem in a semi-automated fashion supported by the [https://www.scotslanguage.com/news/5724 more than 100 pro-Scots Scots speakers who have agreed to help so far.]

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects.

::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

The operator used the site as a browser-based botnet to do a DDoS attack, and some archives have been altered just as petty revenge on a Finnish security blogger. Keeping it on here is a danger to both editors and our readers. There are hundreds, if not thousands of citations using it on this wiki, you can see here: [https://sco.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&amp;limit=500&amp;offset=0&amp;target=archive.today]. Should we deprecate it like English Wikipedia? [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 14:10, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

:(en) Oh, looked at @[[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]]'s talk page, appears it's already been agreed that it's no good. Well, I am in the process of converting this tool[https://fixarchive.toolforge.org/] for Swedish Wikipedia (see GitHub repository here[https://github.com/DarthCalvinus/swedish-wikipedia-archive-today-detector/tree/toolforge-deploy]). I can convert it for scowiki too (though it'll have to be in English at first) [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 14:18, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
:(en) 764 is a far cry from &quot;thousands&quot; and we've slowly been removing them (even set it up as a task [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject The Big Wiki Rewrite/WikiBrounies#Removing bad / unreliable_sources|here]] back in August). If that tool can get rid of the rest, great. From what I've seen enwiki's just been hiding the links rather than removing them, something I'm not exactly keen on [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:32, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
::(en) What the tool does is it'll scan all the citations in an article you give it and then it finds whether or not there's a good regular Internet Archive replacement for it. If there is, it'll give you the link. It can also scan each article in a category you give it as well. [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 14:38, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
::(en) In addition to that tool, I also already have a prototype script (on Swedish Wikipedia) that can scan pages and automatically replace archive.today links when possible.

::@[[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] I've done a few tests on Swedish Wikipedia of my prototype script, so far, so good, I'll have to make sure it also updates the recorded timestamp as it can change, but besides that it's largely ready.

[[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat|Grilledcheeseisgreat]] ([[Uiser collogue:Grilledcheeseisgreat|tauk]]) 15:25, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
:::Just a couple of questions: where does it output the results and does it keep a log?

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages. But a bot that removes or replaces archive today has my support, regards [[Uiser:Atlantic306|Atlantic306]] ([[Uiser collogue:Atlantic306|tauk]]) 21:27, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

It'd be nice to be able to highlight the contributions of our users for a change.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

== [En] Scots language on Telegram! ==

Since this week, Telegram has a new platform for translating its app to Scots language. There aren't translators yet, so please join to the platform and translate the Telegram app to Scots. It will be great for this language to be more present in technology. To begin translating Telegram to Scots, go to the Scots Platform Group through this link: https://t.me/translation_scots

== (En) Articles which may not be in Scots ==

Please accept my apologies if this is not the right place to post this. If it is not, please move this section to the correct page and leave a pointer here in its place.

I've recently performed an automated analysis of the ScoWiki articles, and I suggest that the following may not be in correct Scots. I understand that many are false positives because they contain properly included non-Scots, but I was not confident in my ability to remove those by hand. I would appreciate such help from native speakers.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects. But they all also have a standardized form of their language. I think it would be most helpful if this wiki was in a standardized Scots.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 15:10, 16 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages.

:The goal was not racism, or even parody or satire, as far as I can tell. Some youthful Wikipedians often see their total edit count as a measure of self-worth, because the community uses such measures to award themselves volunteer service award badges and similar kudos. Sometimes this leads to a limbic and endocrine system feedback loop wherein the editor in question can feel intrinsic rewards for simply making edits, even when they know those edits are inaccurate. Sometimes people will make one or two such edits in jest, and beginning editors will often do so as part of a breaching experiment to see whether the accuracy of the Encyclopedia is accurately maintained. This was not a breaching experiment. It went on for tens of thousands of edits, including deliberately fabricated grammar which the editor, who had sought and obtained sysop permissions, knew was being used by machine learning, language understanding, translation, and similar applications. Requests to help were treated politely but coldly for the most part, as far as I've been able to tell, without any express or implied interest in pro-Scots Scots authority development within the editor corps. The small wiki audit failed to catch this issue, in part because it appears that Scots speakers are too polite to have complained as loudly as when similar things have happened on other small wikis.

== (En) So much inconsistency in spelling.  ==

I think it's important that this wiki come to agreement on the correct way to spell in Scots. There is so much variation in how to write simple words, something that's confusing and may present an image to outsiders of it being a fake language. 

Examples: 

the vs. 'E vs. tha

leid vs leed

-y vs -ie

There are many other examples too.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 00:10, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)

:(en) {{ping|NorfolkIsland123}} What you are suggesting here is dialect suppression, and I'm not going to abide the idea that certain dialects of Scots should be driven off the wiki, especially when you're going to call the language fake for having dialects [[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] ([[Uiser collogue:CiphriusKane|tauk]]) 14:41, 14 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying that. I'm not suggesting dialect suppression. All languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, Mandarin, etc. have many dialects. But they all also have a standardized form of their language. I think it would be most helpful if this wiki was in a standardized Scots.  [[Uiser:NorfolkIsland123|NorfolkIsland123]] ([[Uiser collogue:NorfolkIsland123|tauk]]) 15:10, 16 Januar 2023 (UTC)
::No editor on this wiki would call Scots a fake language. It's not. What NorfolkIsland is simply suggesting is that we create some kind of standard for Scots, so we can make translating articles easier. Additionally, there should be some kind of database so that Scots speakers can see how they should translate/write out Scots.
::For example, although I am able to speak Scots, I am from the borders. Therefore, the Scots I know is very different from say, Glaswegian Scots or Highland Scots. A standardized Scots would help make it easier for us to translate, as well as assist in combatting the misconception that Scots is a fake language.
::Without this, there is little that identifies the difference between Scots as a dialect/accent, and Scots as a language. [[Uiser:RazorPantherz|RazorPantherz]] ([[Uiser collogue:RazorPantherz|tauk]]) 11:35, 18 Apryle 2024 (UTC)

== (Scotched En) State of Scots machine translation ==

Here's what happens when you ask ChatGPT-4, which is trained on scowiki dumps including the remaining intermingled Scotched English, to translate English to Scots:

:''Can we hae a blether aboot sortin' oot a clean release o' the Scots Wikipaedia dumps? It's been a guid few year syne the hale stooshie wi' the Scots Wikipaedia (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), an' though the scowiki folk hae marked maist o' the articles wi' mangled &quot;Scotched English,&quot; they're still sittin' there, muddlin' things up. Nae other wey has been found tae help wi' machine translation an' siclike, leavin' Scots - spoken by a quarter million souls - in the lurch, the maist ignored leid by the big translation firms by a fair mile. Google Translate, Meta, Microsoft an' aw that support languages wi' fewer thun 20,000 speakers, but nae Scots.''

:''The scowiki heid yins dinnae seem tae fash themselves wi' sortin' oot this mess, save for slappin' on article tags. An' them that care for the Scots leid hae gien up on their Wikipaedia, thinkin' it's a goner. So, could the Foundation maybe tak a hand an' whip up an alternative scowiki dump? Y'know, ane that leaves oot aw the articles wi' a tag for bein' Scotched, for the sake o' machine translation an' NLP communities? Richt noo, there's 2,473 articles in need o' bein' set aside (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) oot o' the 35,199 in scowiki mainspace.''

:''I'm reckonin' this isnae muckle work tae slot intae the dumps generation process, but it's ootwith ma ken tae dae masel, or tae pit it richt on Phabricator. No that it's a matter o' life an' death, mind, since maist Scots speakers ken their English, but for the sake o' keepin' oor leid fae fadin' away, it's the decent thing tae dae.''

Here's the original for reference:

:Is it feasible to create a non-Scotched release of the Scots Wikipedia dumps? It's been three years since the Scots Wikipedia scandal (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia), and while the scowiki community has tagged almost all of the offending &quot;Scotched English&quot; articles, they have never been moved to an alternate namespace; nor has any other solution for machine translation and other dump-downstream NLP users yet been implemented, leaving Scots with 250,000 native speakers as the most widely languge not supported by any of the big machine translation provoders by a huge margin. I.e., Google Translate, Meta, and Microsoft all support automatic translation of at least a handful of languages spoken by 20,000 or fewer people, but not Scots.

:As the scowiki admins have shown no interest in segregating the corruption other than by ambox template article tags, and Scots language preservationists have apparently washed their hands of their Wikipedia as a lost cause, can the Foundation please step in and sinply produce an alternate scowiki dump without any of the articles taged as Scotched, for the benefit of the machine translation and NLP communities? Currently there are 2,473 articles needing segregation (in https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_that_wis_written_by_a_body_that_haesna_a_guid_grip_on_the_leid) out of 35,199 total in scowiki mainspace.

:I am sure that this amounts to no more than a few hours of work to fully implement within the dumps generation process, but I'm not familiar enough to do it myself, or with Phabricator to properly file the request. And while there is no life-or-death urgency to do this, as essentially every Scots speaker can speak English, it is absolutely the right thing for linguistic preservation to help prevent the loss of another endangered language.

Maybe in the future AI will make new languages for us. [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937]] ([[User talk:2601:647:5701:39B0:80E1:16A2:3865:8937|talk]]) 00:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

: Thanks for the ping. It would be very helpful to have the archive today links either replaced with internet archive or totally removed. I also have reservations about the English Wikipedia bot that only disables the archive today links rather than removing them which leaves them in the edit source so people can cut and paste them and possibly then blame Wikipedia for their devices getting infected. I also agree there should be a public log so that the automated edits can be checked. One of the reasons for checking is that replacement internet archive links can be unusable such as archived 404s, website under construction pages and access forbidden pages. But a bot that removes or replaces archive today has my support, regards [[Uiser:Atlantic306|Atlantic306]] ([[Uiser collogue:Atlantic306|tauk]]) 21:27, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
::Alright, I'll continue to prepare the script. I will begin doing some tests on pages with archive.today links; if they end up accidentally doing something wrong, I will self-revert.

::It's coming along pretty well, just added a reliable source scanner, and it works. You can see in [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat/archivelog|my log]] an unsuccessful and then successful scan of [[Ceety o Wastmeenster]], the second one noting an unreliable source. Now that I've built in the scanning capability, I could leave it as is, merely logging them, or I could delete them, delete only the ones that both are unreliable and have archive.today citations, or whatever else we need.

::::Implemented! I ran a scan over Category:Inglis-leid films and it updated a few articles, and all edits went as expected. Haven't checked the links it replaced themselves yet (I will later if someone else doesn't first) but it does seem to work. The only real change I'll have to make now before running a scan of the whole wiki is making it faster, which shouldn't be too bad.

::::@[[Uiser:CiphriusKane|CiphriusKane]] It's completely ready now. I made it a lot faster and all the other changes I wanted to make, as well as improved logging including timestamps. You can see it at [[Uiser:Grilledcheeseisgreat/archivelog]]. Whenever you approve I'll happily do it, or if you want to, you can add it to your common.js and do it yourself.

Whan the tuin ends, awbody breinges tae the middle, whan aye haudin haunds. Whan the circle is re-estaiblished, awbody turns unner the airms for tae end up facin ootwart wi the haunds still jyned. Ootwi Scotland the haunds is aften crossed frae the beginnin o the sang at variance wi the Scots haunt.

In [[Scotland]], King Fergus o Clan Dunbroch praisents his young dochter [[Merida (Pixar)|Merida]] wi a bow for her birthday. While practisin, Merida encoonters a [[will-o'-the-wisp]]. Suin efterwards, Mor'du, a giant deevilock [[beir]], attacks the faimlie. Merida escapes alang wi her mither Queen Elinor whiles Fergus fechts aff the bear at the cost o his left shank. Yeirs later, Merida haes become a free-speeritit teenager an a aulder sister tae identical triplets: Hamish, Harris an Hubert. Elinor informs her that she is tae be betrothed tae ane o louns frae her faither's allied clans. Myndin Merida o a legend anent a prince wha ruint his ain kinrick, Elinor wairns her that failure tae mairy coud hair, Dunbroch, bit Merida is dissatisfee'd wi the reengement.

The clans o Macintosh, MacGuffin an Dingwall arrive wi thair first-born louns tae compete in [[Hieland Gemmes]] for Merida's haund. Merida kythes she is eligible tae compete for her ain haund as the first-born o Clan Dunbroch an defeats ilk o her suitors in an airchery contest. Efter a brief fawin oot wi Elinor, Merida runs intae the forest an comes across the will-o'-the-wisps. Thay lead her tae the hut o an elderly [[Witchcraft|witch]] posin as a wid carver. Efter some bargainin, the witch grees tae gie Merida a spell tae chynge her mither; in the form o a cake.

Merida returns tae the castle an gies Elinor the cake, nae kennin Elinor haed realised her ain mistake o birnin Merida's bow in the fawin oot, garrin her mither tae [[Shapeshift|transform]] intae a lairge black beir. Wi the help o her brithers, Merida an Elinor return tae the witch's nou desertit cottage whaur thay diskiver that the spell will be permanent unless undone bi the seicont sunrise. The witch leaves Merida a riddle, mentionin that she must &quot;mend the bond torn bi pride.&quot; Merida an Elinor begin tae reconcile thair relationship while Merida observes that the spell is slowly becomin permanent, as Elinor eften loses control an acts mair lik a wild beir. Efter encounterin the wisps again, the twa follae them tae auncient ruins an encounter Mor'du, wha thay discovert wis ance the prince in Elinor's legend wha received a seemilar spell frae the witch. Merida promises her mither that she will nae acome a wild ainimal lik Mor'du an theorizes that she can reverse the spell bi repairin her faimily tapestry (Merida haed torn a hole atween hersel an her mither on the tapestry).

At the castle, the clans are on the verge o war, but the princess quells thair fechtin. Wi the encooragement o her mither, unseen bi the ither guests, wha uises [[charades]] tae guide Merida throu a speech, the princess declares that the bairns shoud be allouit tae get mairrit in thair ain time, tae whaiver thay wale. Merida then sneaks intae the tapestry room wi Elinor, wha is lowsin control o her human self. Fergus gangs-in the bed chaumer an is atteckit bi Elinor till she regains human consciousness an races oot o the castle in desperation. Fergus gies chase. Wi the help o her brithers, wha hae transformed intae bear cubs bi eatin the cake an aw, Merida rides efter her faither while sewin up the tapestry. The clan memmers an Fergus captur Elinor, but Merida intervenes jist afore Mor'du attacks. Juist as Mor'du is aboot tae swallow Merida hail, Elinor saves her an a [[menhir]] crashes doun on Mor'du, flattenin the monster, releasin the prince's speerit.

Whan Merida places the tapestry ower Elinor, nocht happens. Efter Merida teirfu reconciles wi Elinor, whilk is the true meanin o the witch's riddle, the queen is transformed back, alang wi the triplets, an the faimily is reunitit. A few days later, the clans depairt for thair respective launds an Merida an Elinor ride thair horse thegither, thair bond finally restored.

In a [[post-credits scene]], the witch's crow asks a castle guard tae sign for a delivery o widen carvins that Merida bocht simultaneously wi the spell.

The [[atmospheric pressure]] at the planet's surface is 92 times that o Yird's. Wi a mean surface temperatur o {{convert|735|K|°C °F|abbr=on}}, Venus is bi far the hettest planet in the [[Solar Seestem]].

Letter 'E' differs little frae its derivational soorce, the [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] letter [[epsilon]], 'Ε'. In [[etymology]], the [[Semitic]] ''[[He (letter)|hê]]''&amp;#160; haes been suggestit tae hae stairtit as a prayin or cryin human figure (''[[hillul]]'' 'jubilation'), an wis probably based on a seemilar [[Egyptian hieroglyph]] that indicatit a different pronunciation. In Semitic, the letter representit {{IPA|/h/}} (an {{IPA|/e/}} in foreign wirds), in Greek ''hê'' acame  epsilon wi the value {{IPA|/e/}}.  [[Etruria|Etruscan]]s an [[Auncient Roum|Romans]] follaeed this uisage. Altho [[Middlin Inglis]] spellin uised 'e' tae represent lang an short {{IPA|/e/}}, the [[Great Vowel Shift]] chynged lang {{IPA|/eː/}} (as in 'me' or 'bee') tae {{IPA|/iː/}} while short {{IPA|/e/}} (as in 'met' or 'bed') remains a mid vowel.

'''''Cinderella''''' is a 1950 American [[Animation|animatit]] [[Muisical film|muisical]] [[fantasie film]] producit bi [[Walt Disney]] an oreeginally released bi [[RKO Radio Pictures]]. Based on the [[fairy tale]] ''[[Cinderella|Cendrillon]]'' bi [[Charles Perrault]], it is the twelft [[Leet o Walt Disney Animation Studios films|Disney animatit featur film]]. Directin credits gang tae [[Clyde Geronimi]], [[Hamilton Luske]], and [[Wilfred Jackson]]. Sangs wur written bi [[Mack David]], [[Jerry Livingston]], an [[Al Hoffman]]. Sangs in the film include &quot;Cinderella&quot;, &quot;[[A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes]]&quot;, &quot;Sing Sweet Nightingale&quot;, &quot;The Work Song&quot;, &quot;[[Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo|Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo]]&quot;, an &quot;[[#Music|So This is Love]]&quot;. It featurs the vyces o [[Ilene Woods]], [[Eleanor Audley]], [[Verna Felton]], [[Rhoda Williams]], [[Jimmy MacDonald (sound effects artist)|James MacDonald]], [[Luis van Rooten]], [[Don Barclay (actor)|Don Barclay]], [[Mike Douglas]], an [[Lucille Bliss]].

At the time, [[The Walt Disney Company|Walt Disney Productions]] haed suffered frae losin connections tae the European film markets due tae the outbreak o [[Warld War II]], endurin some [[box office bomb]]s lik ''[[Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinocchio]]'', ''[[Fantasia (1940 film)|Fantasia]]'', an ''[[Bambi]]'', all o which wad later acome mair successfu wi several re-releases in theaters an on home video. At the time, houiver, the studio wis ower $4 million in debt an wis on the verge o bankruptcy. Walt Disney an his animators turned back tae feature film production in 1948 efter producin a string o package films wi the idea o adapting Charles Perrault's ''Cendrillon'' intae a motion picture. It is the first Disney film in which all of [[Disney's Nine Old Men]] worked thegither as directing animators. Efter two years in production, ''Cinderella'' wis released on Februar 15, 1950. It became the greatest critical an commercial hit for the studio syne ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' (1937) an helped reverse the studio's fortunes. It is considered [[AFI's 10 Top 10|one o the best American animated films ever made]], as selected bi the [[American Film Institute]].

==Plot==
[[Cinderella (Disney character)|Cinderella]] lives an unhappy life, haein lost baith parents at a young age and bein forced to work as a scullery maid for her cruel stepmither, [[Lady Tremaine]], jealous of Cinderella's beauty, an stepsisters [[Drizella Tremaine|Drizella]] and [[Anastasia Tremaine|Anastasia]], in the dilapidated [[château]] thay live in. Despite this, Cinderella is a kynd and gentle young woman and is friends wi mice and birds that live in and aroond the château. Meanwhile, at the royal palace, the Keeng is frustrated that his son, the Prince, is still unmarried. He and the Grand Duke organize a ball in an effort to find a suitable wife for the Prince, requesting every eligible maiden attend. Upon receiving notice o the ball, Tremaine agrees to let Cinderella go if she finishes her chores and can find a suitable dress to wear.

Cinderella finds a gown that belongs to her mither and decides to refashion it for the ball, but her step faimily impedes this by giein her extra chores. Cinderella's ainimal friends, includin [[Jaq and Gus]], refashion it for her, completing the design wi a necklace and sash discarded by Drizella and Anastasia, respectively. When Cinderella comes downstairs wearing the dress, the stepsisters are angered when thay realize Cinderella is wearing thair accessories and angrily tear the dress to shreds afore leaving for the ball wi thair mither. A heartbroken Cinderella runs oot intae the gairden in tears, whaur her [[Fairy Godmother (Disney)|Fairy Godmother]] appears afore her. Insisting that Cinderella go tae the ball, the Fairy Godmither magically transforms a pumpkin intae a carriage, the mice intae horse, Cinderella's horse, Major, intae a coachman, an dug, Bruno, intae a footman, afore turning Cinderella's ruined dress intae a white ball gown and her shoes intae gless slippers. As Cinderella leaves for the ball, the Fairy Godmither warns her the spell will break at the stroke of midnicht.

At the ball, the Prince rejects every girl until he sees Cinderella, who agrees to dance wi him. The two faw in luve and go oot for a stroll thegither in the castle gardens. As thay are about to kiss, Cinderella hears the clock stairt to chime midnicht and flees. As she leaves the castle, ane o her slippers faws off. The palace guards gie chase as Cinderella flees in the coach afore the spell breaks on the last stroke of midnicht. Cinderella, her pets, an the mice hide in a wooded aurie as the guards pass.

The Grand Duke informs the Keeng that Cinderella, who remains anonymous, haes escaped, an that the Prince wishes to mairy her. The lost gless slipper is the anly piece of evidence. The Keeng issues a royal proclamation ordering every maiden in the kingdom to try on the slipper for size in an effort to find the girl. After this news reaches Cinderella's household, Tremaine realizes her stepdochter is that girl when hearing her humming the waltz played at the ball and locks her in her attic bedroom. Later, the Duke arrives at the château, an Jaq and Gus steal the key frae Tremaine's dress pocket and tak it up tae the attic as Anastasia and Drizella unsuccessfully try on the slipper. Tremaine's cat Lucifer ambushes the mice, but Bruno chases him oot o the hoose, allouin the mice to free Cinderella. As the Duke is about to leave, Cinderella appears and asks to try on the slipper. Knowing it will fit, Lady Tremaine trips the footman as he brings the Duke the slipper, causin it to shatter on the floor. Much to her horror, Cinderella presents the Duke wi the ither slipper, which fits perfectly. The film ends wi a nou-mairit Prince and Cinderella at thair wedding, sharin a kiss as thay leave.

==Production==
Made on the cusp atween the classic &quot;golden age&quot; Disney animations o the 1930s and 1940s and the less critically acclaimed productions o the 1950s, ''Cinderella'' is representative of baith eras.

''Cinderella'' wis the first full-bodied feature produced bi the studio syne ''[[Bambi]]'' in 1942; World War II and law box office returns haed forced [[Walt Disney]] to produce a series of inexpensive package films sic as ''[[Make Mine Music]]'' and ''[[Fun and Fancy Free]]'' for the 1940s. Live action reference wis uised extensively to keep animation costs doun. Accordin to Laryn Dowel, one o the directing animators o the film, roughly 90% o the film wis done in live action model afore animation, uisin basic sets as references for actors and animators alike.

[[Helene Stanley]] (Cinderella's live action model), Karen Overby and [[Ilene Woods]] (Cinderella's vyce actress, selected frae 400 ither candidates) heavily influenced Cinderella's styling and mannerisms. Stanley wis  the live-action model for Anastasia Tremaine as well.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.afi.com/10top10/moviedetail.aspx?id=25879 AFI's 10 Top 10 Cinderella] Retrieved February 2, 2013&lt;/ref&gt; She wad be sae again for Princess Aurora in ''[[Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'' and Anita Radcliffe in ''[[One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]''.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|work=Disney Archives |title=Cinderella Character History |url=http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/characters/cinderella/cinderella.html |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20030803224356/http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/characters/cinderella/cinderella.html |archivedate=2003-08-03 |df= }}&lt;/ref&gt; Animators modeled Prince Chairmin on actor [[Jeffrey Stone]], who an aa providit some additional vyces for the film.{{citation needed}} [[Mike Douglas]] wis the Prince's singing vyce while [[William Phipps (actor)|William Phipps]] recorded the prince's dialogue (or speakin vyce).

In earlier drafts o the screenplay, the Prince oreeginally played a lairger role and haed mair character development than what he ultimately received in the final version o the film. In one abandoned openin, the Prince wis shawn huntin a deer, but at the end o the sequence, it wis tae be revealed that the Prince and the deer war actually friends playin a gemme. In an abandoned alternate endin, efter the Duke discovered Cinderella's identity, she wis shawn bein brocht tae the castle tae be reintroduced tae the Prince, who is surprised to learn that Cinderella wis actually a modest servant girl instead o the princess he thocht she wis, but the Prince's feelings for her war too strong tae be bothered by this and he embraced her; the Fairy Godmither wis to reappear and restore Cinderella's ball gown for the closin shot. Walt Disney himsel reportedly cut the alternate endin acause he felt it wis overlong and did nae gie the audience its &quot;pay off&quot;, but the scene wad later be incorporated in the video gemme, ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep]]''.

Ither deleted material included an abandoned song that wis tentatively titled the &quot;Cinderella Work Song&quot;, which wis pairt o a fantasy sequence that wis set to tak place efter Lady Tremaine tells Cinderella that she can go tae the ball if she finishes all of her chores and haes a nice dress to wear. In this abandoned sequence, Cinderella imagines hersel bein [[cloning|cloned]] intae an airmy to divide up the work while pondering what the ball itself will be lik. The sequence wis cut, but the title wis applee'd tae the song the mice sing when thay work on Cinderella's dress. Additionally, thare wis a scene that teuk place efter the ball in which Cinderella wis seen returning to her home and eavesdropped on her stepfaimily, who war rantin about the meestery girl at the ball, an Cinderella wis shawn tae be amused by this acause thay war talking about her wioot realizing it. Walt Disney reportedly cut the scene acause he thocht it made Cinderella leuk &quot;spiteful&quot; and felt the audience wad lose sympathy for her.

For the first time, Walt turned to [[Tin Pan Alley]] songwriters to write the songs. The music of Tin Pan Alley wad later acome a recurring theme in Disney animation.  ''Cinderella'' wis the first Disney film to hae its songs published and copyrighted bi the newly creatit Walt Disney Music Company. Afore movie soundtracks became marketable, movie songs haed little residual value tae the film studio that owned them and war eften sauld off to established music companies for sheet music publication.

The song &quot;[[Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo]]&quot; became a hit single on four occasions, includin a civer version recorded by [[Perry Como]] and the [[Fontane Sisters]]. Woods beat exactly 309 girls for the pairt of Cinderella efter some demo recordings of her singing a few o the film's songs war presented to Walt Disney. Houiver, she haed no idea she wis audeetionin for the pairt until Disney contacted her; she initially made the recordings for a few friends who sent them to Disney wioot her knowledge. Reportedly, Disney thocht Woods haed the right &quot;fairy tale&quot; tone to her vyce.

Interestingly, awmaist 30 years afore he made &quot;Cinderella&quot; intae a feature-lenth animated film, Walt Disney already made a short film of it as the last o the [[Laugh-O-Gram Studio|Laugh-O-Gram]] series, as a [[Roaring 20's]] version. This short is included as an extra on the ''Cinderella'' Platinum Edition DVD.

During production, Walt Disney pioneered the uise of overdubbed vocals for the song &quot;Sing Sweet Nightingale&quot;, afore it haed been uised by artists in studio recordings sic as [[the Beatles]]. When Ilene Woods haed completit the days recording of &quot;Sing Sweet Nightingale&quot;, Walt listened and asked her if she coud sing harmony wi hersel. She wis apprehensive about the idea as it wis unheard of; tho she ended up singing the dooble recording, includin seicont and third pairt harmonies. Ilene Woods reveals the innovation in an interview.&lt;ref&gt;{{YouTube|i6Prjci0Hu4}}&lt;/ref&gt;

The claes an aa received considerable attention. A scholar haes demonstrated that [[Salvador Dalí]], wi whom Disney worked on the short [[Destino]] a few months afore stairtin Cinderella, inspired the dress that Cinderella's stepsisters tear apart and that the magic new gown worn by Cinderella at the ball references French haute couture and, mair precisely, the style of [[Christian Dior]], who traveled throu the U.S. in 1947.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last1=Lugli|first1=Emanuele|title=Tear That Dress Off: Cinderella (1950) and Disney's Critique of Post-war Fashion|url=http://brightlightsfilm.com/tear-that-dress-off-cinderella-1950-and-disneys-critique-of-postwar-fashion/#.VeWdKtO6feR|website=Bright Lights Film Journal}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Certaint elements o the film war considered tae bear a resemblance tae a 1960s Japanese [[anime]] telly shaw, ''[[Kimba the White Lion|Jungle Emperor]]'' (kent as ''Kimba the White Lion'' in the United States), wi chairacters haein seemilar analogues, an various individual scenes bein seemilar in composition tae the shaw.

If one of them were familiar with Kimba they didn’t say. Of course, it’s possible... Many story ideas developed and changed along the way, always just to make our story stronger. I could certainly understand Kimba’s creators feeling angry if they felt we had stolen ideas from them. If I had been inspired by Kimba I would certainly acknowledge my inspiration.
