Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mairead inghean Eachainn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bishop of Ross (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

G'day Brianann. You may be interested in a couple of articles I created recently (Scottish expedition into Argyll (1221–22) & Galloway revolt of 1234–35), but have been unable to expand properly, as I am renovating my house and my sources and main computer have been placed in storage. Any suggestions or improvements would be created appreciated. Regards Newm30 (talk) 04:31, 5 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hi Newm30. I had noticed the Galloway one but not Argyll. Thanks for alerting me. They look good so far. I'm pretty vague about the Galloway revolt. I was thinking of tackling Thomas' article some day. If I ever get to it, I'll have to research the revolt a bit. So I've got both articles in the my mind. Good luck with the renovation.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 01:24, 7 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
