What is Scots Wikipedia?
The Scots Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. It is part of the larger Wikipedia family. The main difference is that all the articles are written in the Scots language. Scots is a language spoken mainly in Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland. It is related to English but has its own unique words and grammar.
What Happened in 2020?
In August 2020, the Scots Wikipedia received some attention. People on social media and in the news started talking about it. They noticed that some of the articles seemed to be poorly translated from the English language. This meant the Scots language used wasn't always natural or correct. Because of this, the Wikipedia community is now looking closely at the articles to make them better. They want to make sure the Scots Wikipedia is a high-quality resource for everyone.
