The page is still full of grammatical mistakes, beginning with its own title that should be "Warld Weir II" and not "Warld War II" since "war" is not a grammatically correct word in Scots (it is used among Scots speakers but is generally considered an Anglicism). I saw you are the creator of this article about the Second World War, but looks like you're neither native nor proficient Scots speaker, so I will try to correct your grammatical and punctual mistakes once I have more time. --Lurnton (tauk) 13:21, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Another perfect example of such incorrect grammar is the article Preesoner o war, where both "war" and "weir" are used in one short article despite having the same meaning and "war" being incorrect. --Lurnton (tauk) 13:29, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
