It would be great if you could re-add this. When moving or deleting large areas of text from an article, one needs to at least retain a skeleton of what was there this means at least mentioning some of the names of individual pipes and the places they are used. It is very vague and mysterious about exactly where pipes exist. New pages I've created or unredirected:Įnjoy! Calum 13:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC) As it reads now, the "types of bagpipes" section is not good. The history section needs revisiting (I've only patched up one sentence). It isn't finished yet - the lists of music/bands needs clobbered as well. A lot of material doesn't have an obvious home for example the linguistic discussion on the term 'gaita'. Graham/pianoman87 talk 12:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC) OK, much has been moved.
If I've removed any sections from here that need to be on the main page, feel free to put them back.
Talk pages on here are usually archived when they become outdated for more details see Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page. I am removing the material on types of pipes and putting most of it in their own article pages, where the information isn't already there. Is there a guideline on this? Calum 10:45, 27 February 2006 (UTC) Graham/pianoman87 talk 10:21, 27 February 2006 (UTC) So should comments never be removed unless copied? A lot of the comments will be meaningless when this re-edit is done - for example - my discussion with Finlay over a year ago is already out-of-date and irrelevant. I don't mind if they're copied to other talk pages. The comments about different types of bagpipes *were* relevant to the history of this article, so they should be kept. Calum 10:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC) Yes, but please do not remove comments from talk pages. I appreciate after a major rework like this everyone with an interest in this page will wish to work on it, but please bear in mind it is a generic page about bagpipes and not a listing of every kind and genre of bagpipe in existence. I am heavily re-editing the article and so most of the stuff on this discussion page is now irrelevant, so have blanked it. I would like to emphasise that it is not me planning to work on this article! Please remove the "inuse" template within the next hour or so, or immediately after editing.- Mais oui! 09:35, 27 February 2006 (UTC) A quick note to say that editing continues, despite the passage of time! Calum 10:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC) Calum's big edit Calum 09:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)Á I left a comment at the User's page explaining that you cannot leave comments on articles. I'm starting a major edit of this page just now - I intend to thin it down a bit, move much of the content to other pages and generally turn the page into one about bagpipes and not just a directory listing of types as it currently is. Temporary: In use Removed here from article by Mais oui!. 16 Pipes and the Scottish British embassy.15 Bag section is written with a mouth-blown POV.7 Proscription of bagpipes after the '45.His daughter, Taylor Richardson, said he would prefer to leave it "as a mystery good deed". The ABC reached out to the mystery bagpiper but he respectfully declined to be interviewed. "Now that we've calmed down we'd like to see him again," she said. The family only knew the man by the name Shane and posted to the Locale Northern Gold Coast Facebook group in the hope of tracking him down to offer their thanks. "She was the only family member who did not go to his funeral, and she was the only one missing, that's why it makes it super special." Mystery bagpiper The mystery musician placed his hat on the four-year-old Ryleigh and began to play Amazing Grace to the Robertson family. "He just looked at us - and I think he could just tell, because we were both crying at that point, and he's just like 'sure'." "So, I'm leaning through the window going, 'Excuse me, my father-in-law is Scottish and he's just passed away and we were just wondering if we could hear some of your bagpipe music?' "My husband was just so choked up he couldn't speak. "Just as we pulled into the carpark … he was putting his bagpipes into the back of the ute," he said. The family, who had been in Canberra before the border closure for Alex's funeral, decided to pull off at the nearest exit and to see if they could find the man. Ms Robertson said they could not believe what they were seeing and it felt like a sign. Alex passed away the week before the Robertson family came across the mystery bagpiper.
