I think comments about MCconnell's "contribution" should be on his own page as this is more about the office than the incumbent. ( StudentSteve 04:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC))
THE ARTICLE NEEDS a section about Salmond's constant breaking of the law since taking 'office'. It won't get it of course because wikipedia is garbage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.219.249.5 ( talk) 19:29, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
The image Image:HenryMcLeish.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

This article is about the office and not about an individual who holds this office. Thus it should be the same for the appointer of this office. GoodDay ( talk) 12:19, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
The result of the fudge of compromise is frankly horrendous. The FM is appointed by the Sovereign; whoever happens to hold either office at the time the appointment is made. Endrick Shellycoat 09:26, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
IMHO the present statement is overly wordy. Why not simply " Her Majesty The Queen", end of... Endrick Shellycoat 07:54, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
In the content of the article, it says the FM's appointer is the Queen. It's not a problem for the content, so it shouldn't be a problem for the infobox. GoodDay ( talk) 02:47, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
The article includes, in the second paragraph of the Election and term section, the curious sentence, Given the nature of the mixed member proportional representation system that is used to elected Members of the Scottish Parliament, it is not usual for a single party to gain an overall majority of seats in Parliament;[8] this did however occur in the 2011. The 2011 what, Mister Heinz? I'm not full bottle on Scottish affairs, so if someone can work out what is meant and fix it, that would be a huge improvement in the flow of the prose. -- Pete ( talk) 21:40, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Was there a PM of the Kingdom of Scotland? (prior to James Stuart) -- 65.94.79.6 ( talk) 11:00, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
I've added a section showing the candidates and votes for each candidate in each election for the post so far, I needed this for something else and spent ages trying to find the articles with numbers so I thought I may as well put it here in case someone in the future needs the same, that said I haven't a clue how to make it look nice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnotacylon ( talk • contribs) 01:28, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
