[edit] Transistor
In what way exactly is the transistor a Scottish invention?
[edit] Name
Suggest that once the deletion vote has been concluded, that the article is renamed Scottish inventions and discoveries, in order to allow such things as the noble gases to be included. Astrotrain 21:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable. --Mais oui! 22:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

- I suggest having two seperate lists - one for Scottish inventors, and one for things invented in Scotland. The current system invites redundancy with other similar lists such as English inventions.--Nydas 15:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Citations
Seems a lot of citations are needed, I've started to put them in, most of the information is easily verifiable through respected websites. If anyone has an issue with the style or content of the citations please feel free to delete/change.Finewinescotland 00:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Maxwell
Interesting that the entry on James Clark Maxwell is listed under Power Innovations. I would have placed him under Scientific Innovations where his contributions are much more widely attributed. (In fact he is often classed along with Newton and Einstein.) Also not sure why further citation is needed - the article on Maxwell himself is heavy with citations and is clear on his contribution. If there are no objections I will move his entry under Scientific Innovations. VJDocherty 10:03, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Please do, and we would really appreciate it if you would add a couple of refs, as per WP:CITE - eg just nick some from the Maxwell article. All those bloody "citation needed" things are a complete style nightmare - all we need is a notice at the top. I'll sort that out (somebody went bananas on them a while ago). --Mais oui! 10:38, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
