The pictures really need to be arranged better. -- F a ng Aili 17:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
It's coming on very well & becoming quite comprehensive, as I wish all town articles would. Good work, Bill. -- Tagishsimon (talk)
There's some obscure functionality in wikipedia allowing you to make timelines - see Help:EasyTimeline syntax. I don't really know one end of it from the other, but thought I'd put my effort to date here, in the hope that either I or someone else will improve upon it & then parhaps replace the gif timeline in the article. Note that I've not made any effort to check the actual dates in the timeline (!) - Bill - you'd probably be able to do this. That part of the code is not too scary. -- Tagishsimon (talk)
Bill, if you have ISBN numbers for any of the books in the referenfces list, so add them, in the form ISBN 184115007X, and they get wikilinked, which is a good thing. And you have some footnotes on the current value of shillings & such. Probably better to say "worth £1234 in 2006 currency", since "in today's currency" will not survive the test of time. -- Tagishsimon (talk)
I intend to go back over both Lossiemouth and Elgin and add references to them in the near future. -- Bill Reid | Talk 17:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the so-called Gaelic town name from infobox and article. Lossiemouth is a completely English language construction, the town being established in relatively modern times. Gaelic died out in the Laich of Moray several hundred years before the town has built so it is misleading to suggest that Lossiemouth has an alternative name. -- Bill Reid | Talk 14:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Interesting stance. Although Lossiemouth is indeed a completely 'English language construction' as you say, the Gaelic version of the name does exist and is used for communication about Lossiemouth in Gaelic, so therefore is a legitimate version of the town's name in my opinion.
Interestingly, when 'Lossiemouth' was used specifically for the area around the river mouth (as opposed to including Stotfield, Branderburgh etc.) the term 'Inverlossie' (which is an anglicised version of the Gaelic 'Inbhir Losaidh') was used in some publications/communications to describe the collection of communities in the area as distinct from old Lossiemouth. I forget which ones exactly, but if you were to browse through the local collection section of Lossiemouth library I am sure you would find evidence of this. Chris Souter 17:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know where the information re Lossie Quarry and fossils came from? I have no reason to doubt the accuracy at all but grew up in its shadow and had no idea about this. Just interested to find out more.
On a side note - at the beginning of the article it is stated that Kinneader has "disappeared" however there are still a few scattered farm dwellings etc that still go by the name. Is it worth amending the article to reflect that?

Rgds, Bill Reid | Talk 14:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)The site is one of the richest late-Triassic-age reptile sites in Britain and has yielded eighty individuals representing eight different species. Some of the fossils are unique to this site, but they do have attributes in common with reptile faunas found in China, India and South America. The first specimens were collected and recorded in 1844 so historically this is one of the most important sites in Britain for vertebrate palaeontology.
Thanks a lot for the info on the quary (This is my new account) Thebenjster 17:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
It would seem sensible to redirect Branderburgh and Stotfield to the Lossiemouth article, as the latter already contains more information about Branderburgh and Stotfield than their respective individual pages. -- Deskford ( talk) 16:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
