Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Scotland you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Goodreg3 -- Goodreg3 (talk) 20:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
GA nomination
Hi @Goodreg3: I saw Scotland listed at WP:GAN. I see that you opened Talk:Scotland/GA1 in error and I have asked for that review page to be deleted so that an independent reviewer can make a fresh start.
Having looked at the article and at the talk page, there seems to be a debate over the wording of the lead. I am also concerned that the citation style is inconsistent (the rp template and sfn template are both used at the moment). I would recommend withdrawing your nomination temporarily (just delete the template on the talk page once Talk:Scotland/GA1 has been deleted) until the current debate has played out and until you have addressed the issues with citation style.
I hope this is helpful input. Best wishes Mertbiol (talk) 10:19, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Kilmarnock
The article Kilmarnock you nominated as a good article has failed 
; see Talk:Kilmarnock for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Stevie fae Scotland -- Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 14:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Different tack
This morning I recalled your comments at Talk:Scotland#Sweeping_and_inattentive_changes that you “do not feel supported by (me) whatsoever” and how much of a slap in the face that felt, in the light of all the work on your edits and copious feedback I’d given, for years now. But it prompted a memory of a similar, lengthy interaction I had with another enthusiastic editor, a long time ago, initially very frustrating but which, to my great surprise, became cordial and productive. I will not be able to devote very much time but, if you are genuinely in search of support and you can slow down and be patient, I’ll see if we can try a different tack. What do you reckon? Mutt Lunker (talk) 22:35, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- I would welcome that, and it would certainly be a step in the right direction. Thanks. Goodreg3 (talk) 23:24, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi Goodreg3, as you've had a fair few disambiguation link notifications here, you may not be aware that there's a useful option that highlights links to disambiguation pages, very visibly. If you go to your user preferences, select the gadget tab, scroll down to the appearance section and check "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange", any such pages will become highly visible, alerting you to change it to the correctly disambiguated page, if that is what is required. I find it really handy.
On another matter, do you remember I asked you if you could "(make) smaller individual edits to allow them to be followed more easily", at the Scotland talk page? This diff might be a useful example, where you seem to be dealing with several different and unrelated aspects of the article in one fairly large edit. To allow others to follow what your intentions are, it's easier if they are broken down individually, into smaller, separate edits. That is particularly the case if it involves moving sections of text from one part of the article to another, as any changes to the text don't really show up in the diff. What's more, if there is an issue with part, but not all, of the changes made, it's then possible to revert one of the several, smaller edits and leave the rest intact. If the various aspects being addressed are all done in one major edit then the choice is between a time-consuming and complicated edit to pick out the problem parts from those that are fine or much more simply reverting the whole lot but possibly throwing the baby out with the bath water. Cheers, Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:00, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
I'll elaborate on my amendments to this edit of yours. You've been attempting to avoid your previous tendency to post material that is variously copyrighted, copied without attribution or without sufficient paraphrasing. If you do paraphrase though, make sure you retain the meaning of what is stated in the source. The source notes a record figure in regard to generation but your wording indicated consumption, not the same thing. The word "equivalent" re the 113% figure is required for it to make rational sense. It's "country's overall consumption", as it is the consumption by the country, not that of plural "countries".
