Hello there, I noticed the Kirkcaldy revamp too. I just thought I'd best give you a nudge about WP:UKTOWNS - the style and content guide on writing about settlements in Scotland and the UK. It has been adopted for most of the Scottish cities, and in Scotland's only geography-class FA, Neilston. I hope that helps, -- Jza84 | Talk 12:46, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Kilburn why did you revert the changes I made to the artcle? The section at the top of the page invites contributions.
Your recent additions are excellent and I was only trying to improve some of the grammer and wording of the new sections. I never made any significant changes and cant understand why you have reverted them?

right, let's get this straight now. i have been working very hard on this (i'm serious now) i will allow you to edit, as long as you respect my work and add a reference or two, that is all i'm asking of you. if you didn't know where to get a reference, then you should have come to me and i would have submitted them for you. anyway, i was planning to revise these areas, so they probably would have erased. i feel i have been a bit let down by your contribution.

Kilburn there's no need to get angry about it. We are grown ups after all.
I did source my change. You can check. I used a reference from the new Kirkcaldy & Mid Fife Local Plan which was recently approved at Planning Committee. You may wish to read it.
In what way has one not respected your work? I made minor grammer and wording changes. The article essentially read the same. You can't monopolise the article for yourself. Others may wish to contribute positively to your good work.

Hi! I noticed that earlier today you placed the {{ pp-semi-protected}} tag on the article Kirkcaldy. I just want to point out our Page Protection Policy, and just say briefly that only administrators can actually protect the page from being edited. Yes, anyone can add the tags, but this has no effect on the editing ability of others. I have removed the tag, as I feel the page does not meet the protection policy at this time. If you want the article to be protected, feel free to ask an adminstrator on the requests for page protection page, and an available administrator will review your request. :-) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
As per [1]: Quoting Defoe saying the town was “one street, one mile long” is a far cry from showing his responsibility for the nickname "Lang Toun". Please cite this. ...and don't remove the tag until you have done so please. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 22:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Ok. To elaborate a little, the cited publications may refer in the same section to the nickname "Lang Toun" and also to Defoe referring to the town as being long, but unless they directly and specifically attribute the coining of the nickname to him, to say he is responsible for the nickname is your own interpretation and thus should not go into Wikipedia. (At the very least, being English I don't imagine he spoke Scots, so I'm doubtful he would have used the very term "Lang Toun".) So, if there is no attribution of the nickname to him, just mention that the nickname is the Lang Toun, stating that Defoe famously noted the town being “one street, one mile long” - but no further interpretation of your own.
