I do believe I have the honor of addressing Owen Rudge, yes? Mackensen (talk) 05:24, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
You do... indeed, Owen Rudge here. How can I help?
- Oh, just saying hello and such. I've played Transport Tycoon for years, and used to browse the forums regularly. I noticed your edit to Transport Tycoon and recognized the user name. Let me know if you need any help around here. Best, Mackensen (talk) 18:39, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Orcadian Wikipedians' notice board
Dear Orudge, please visit the Orcadian Wikipedians' notice board. Maybe you would consider joining the Category:Orcadian Wikipedians Mallimak
Orcadian Wikipedians - Scandinavian too?
Please see the discussion at Category talk:Orcadian Wikipedians#Scandinavian too?. Thanks/wangi 13:15, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
A portal created recently by User:Mallimak - the Orkney Portal - has been nominated for deletion. If you wish to take part in the discussion please contribute at:
Independent Orkney and Shetland wiki site
User:Mallimak and I held a meeting in Stromness this weekend with a number of interested parties and a group of visiting colleagues from Shetland.
We are all shocked at the way Orkney contributors and contributions have been treated on Wikipedia. It is clear to us that Wikipedia has less to do with encyclopaedic articles and more to do with information control.
There is currently a group of “Wikipedians” dedicated to editing Orkney articles to suit their own agenda and attacking anybody who tries to resist them. None of us can compete with those with the time and inclination to make literally a hundred or more edits each day. We would be willing to contribute scholarly articles and to allow them to be edited (if necessary) and added to by responsible editors – but that is not how things are happening on Wikipedia.
We have resolved to get our own independent wiki site up and running exclusively for encyclopaedic articles on Orkney and Shetland. We shall be approaching local internet service providers and website developers to help us set this up.
If you are interested in contributing to this project please leave a message on the Category talk:Orcadian Wikipedians page. (The Orcadian Wikipedians’ Noticeboard was demolished!)
Locally, we shall advertise in the press in due course.

St Andrews University
If it's not too strange to ask a fellow Wikipedian, can I ask what St Andrews Uni is like? I'm an A2 student, perhaps thinking of going there. I see from your user page that you're studying Computer Science there, which is also what I'm thinking of studying. Better to get insider information from an actual student, rather than the official website propoganda, right?
How good is the Computer Sciences department? What exactly does the course teach, and how is learning organised? How good are computer facilities/availability? What sort of culture is it there, from some pictures I've seen it looks quite traditional, but as its Scotland I'm assuming it's a bit less uppity than Oxbridge? What's the town like? What's the countryside like? (I'm into hiking/hillwalking.)
