Thanks for uploading File:Glengoyne 17yr.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 16:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Haha, that's really weird. I left him a message saying we have similar sig's. Conversation probably can't go much further than that though. -- SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 03:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
I have nominated Category:WikiProject Spirit ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. Cabe 6403 ( Talk• Sign!) 14:32, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
haha, the only thing i know about spirits is that Southern Comfort tastes nice.
I would watch out if i was you though, I'm pretty sure that you can get shut down for having less than five members. Did you bring it to the WikiProject Council before you started? In the Proposals section they have ways of finding you other members really quickly. -- SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 00:21, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello Don't get me wrong, I've not contributed to this page, I'm just curious as to what NPOV is. I do work for the Jets & have spotted several errors on the page already & will endeavour to get them sorted. Can you inform me what exactly you have issue with? Cheers

I know you second opionioned it, but how did you feel about the article in general? Just curious.-- What!?Why?Who? ( talk) 20:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Sure thing, I'll take a more detailed look tomorrow. -- Sabre ( talk) 23:59, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
Sorry to disturb you. We'the finalized version of the new Wikipedia:Sock puppet investigation page (a long-planned merger of WP:Suspected sock-puppets and WP:Requests for CheckUser) is being done as we speak. But you appear to have used the planned unused shortcut, by a coicidence of timing.
The SPI page will be heavily used and referenced. We probably should have pointed the redirect at it earlier, which would have saved asking. Would you mind very much considering whether the Spirits WikiProject might allow it to be used for this project page instead, as the most likely memorable shortcut for a well-used process?
Thanks and appreciated if so!

I note that you have placed an article for deletion tag on this page that I created only afew minutes ago. I think you should give this page time, like on Norwich park and ride. That was going to be deleted, but it was made into a good page. Reply on my talk page. Dennisman ( talk) 17:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
hi,
what made you think WikiProject Spiders is inactive? i now created WP:SPID for it instead, but a little post on the discussion page would have been nice. -- Sarefo ( talk) 12:42, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi and thanks for your note. I have replied on Talk:Glengoyne Distillery/GA2 in some depth. I don't object to the majority of the text in the article, which is generally at or about GA, apart from the marketing hype, e.g. "favoured" and "boasting". The main problem is that the majority of the article, as it currently exists, in respect of "page length" is little more than WP:SPAM. For a start, keep the text, keep the illustrations, but throw away those tables about "nose". I would urge that you look at other articles in Category:GA-Class Food and drink articles to see how these articles avoid being little more than spam. Your user page states that you are a student at Strathclyde University, use the library and use the Mitchell library - the distillery is only about 30 miles away; don't accept company hype uncritically. The Scottish whisky industry is discussed in Turnock, David (1979). The New Scotland (Industrial Britain), Newton Abbot: David & Charles and there are numerous references cited. When you have the ability to add local information, why base the article around third and forth-rate material that anyone can find using google or yahoo? Rob Roy hid 1,000 ft from our still, or the Lowland/Highland line goes through the middle of our site is a marketing angle and little more.
I'm willing to discuss it more, if needed, but I may not reply for a week or so. Pyrotec ( talk) 15:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
