I think everything should be written according to Modern Gaelic, as the GOC intended, so I think we should change all accent letters to graves: ó -> ò. What do you think? --[[User:AileanMacRaith|AileanMacRaith]] 08:03, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
:That's reasonable. I like the idea of using GOC spelling but (a) I don't have a dictionary that uses it and (b) the GOC appears to be in the process of changing its mind again, so even if we do use it we'll be wrong again in a year or two. The two different accents do indicate two different pronunciations -- that's why I like them -- but okay, I'll just use graves for the moment and if I introduce other grammatical or spelling errors, just fix them or let me know what I should have written.
:As a matter of interest, the policy of some other Wikipedias is to allow all variant spellings that appear in some dictionary rather than to impose specific spelling rules on contributions. However we don't have to do that. -- [[User:Derek Ross|Derek Ross]] 17:49, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
::I completely understand the argument for using the different accents, but I just think it makes things easier to read if we try to stick to the same format - especially for learners, as being honest, the majority of users here will be learners including myself.
::I have taken steps to draw more users to it by emailing Sabhal Mòr Ostaig and Commun Luchd-Ionnsachaidh. Could you see to it that the Scots Gaelic Wikipedia is added to the English list of languages? I don't know how to do this. Also, I see that some of the interface has been changed to Gaelic. How do you do this? I'd like to see an entirely Gaelic interface including the logo. Cheers. --[[User:AileanMacRaith|AileanMacRaith]] 18:06, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
