Résumé
The Scots Wikipedia (Scots Wikipædia) is the Scots-language edition of the free online encyclopedia, Wikipedia. It was established on 23 June 2005, and it first reached 1,000 articles in February 2006, and 5,000 articles in November 2010. As of , it has about articles. The Scots Wikipedia is one of the ten Wikipedias written in an Anglic language or English-based pidgin/creole, the others being the English Wikipedia, the Simple English Wikipedia, the Old English Wikipedia, the Pitkern-Norfuk Wikipedia, the Tok Pisin Wikipedia, the Jamaican Patois Wikipedia, the Sranan Tongo Wikipedia, the Nigerian Pidgin and the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia.
In August 2020, the wiki received scrutiny from the media for the poor quality of its Scots writing and the discovery that at least 20,000 articles had been written by an editor who did not speak the language. This attention led to a review of the wiki's content by Scots speakers as well as editors from the wider Wikipedia community. Most of the editor's articles have been deleted, which is evident in the decrease in the total number of articles from about 55,000 in 2018 to about 40,000 in 2021.
By February 2008, the site contained 2,200 articles and had outpaced Māori Wikipedia and Kashmiri Wikipedia. Reported reception, however, was mixed; Scotland on Sunday literary editor described it as "convoluted at best, and an absolute parody at worst", while Ted Brocklebank, culture spokesman for the Scottish Tories, described it as a "cheap attempt at creating a language". However, Chris Robinson, director of the Dictionary of the Scots Language, wrote: "The fact it is doing well gives a lie to all those people who decry Scots and try to do it down." In 2014, Jane C. Hu of Slate described the site as reading "like a transcription of a person [speaking English] with a Scottish accent" and said one Wikipedia editor had proposed that the project be closed, in the mistaken belief that it was a practical joke.
