Your "Ghetto" Photograph

I saw Royston.jpg [1] and was intrigued by all the nice new(er) cars parked on the street.

Is there something in the the area that attacts "outsiders"?

I'm curious. :) ----~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Angrykeyboarder (talk • contribs) 04:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Childishness

What is childish is for you to delete things without reading them b/c others tell you to, whoever they may be (I have some suspicions). I know that as an Irish Catholic censorship and apologetics are in your DNA, but on Wikipedia, you are supposed to move beyond that, and if you can't or won't, then you don't deserve to be on it. Spread the word.

AnnaliviaPlurabelle 20:02, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello Robert! I'd love to say it's good to hear from you again but, sadly, I'm a man of integrity who is above lying and distorting the truth (unlike a fellow wikipedian i could mention...). I did actually read your edit of the Irish-Scots page-it was the usual sectarian drivel that you spout with one or two new members on your hate list/"Irish-Scots".GiollaUidir 20:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, Robert. You've annoyed yet another editor *and* you've called them Catholic. Quelle surprise! - Ali-oops^✍ 20:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC) (PS - you also vandalised this editor's userpage. Naughty, naughty!)

Bobby Sands

You describe my edits as misleading and POV could you explain how they are misleading as I disagree. --Karatekid7 12:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Karatekid7 has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk pages. Happy editing!

Hi, Thanks for your message, sorry if I accused one of your edits as being vandalism, I was not trying to be confrontational. The important thing to realise with someone like Bobby Sands is that he is very open to POV edits as different people will have different POV on him. My main area of edit on the article was the area relating to the singing of songs by Rangers fans about Sands. Originally the article had mentioned the well known song about "chicken suppers", this song is rarely sang. I also thought that it would be better to put in the POV that Rangers fans would see Bobby Sands as both a terrorist and as an antihero. Highlighting what one sides POV is in a debate does not make a section of an article POV even if you disagree with it. Thanks --Karatekid7 23:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Glasgow

Wow, that is quite amusing... I've been away from Glasgow for the past year, but I can't wait to get back in September. I never thought I'd miss that place. Peter Z.^Talk 23:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Heh, well I started out on a work placement at a research site in England owned by Merck, a big pharma. Half way into my placement year Merck closed the site (heard of the Vioxx scandal? it definitely didn't help) and relocated me to another site in Italy. I am sort of working there now. Sort of, because I am actually stuck in Russia, the country I have citizenship in, waiting for a visa to enter Italy :) You can reply here if you want btw Peter Z.^Talk 23:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, not good. At least you get to do nothing for a few months and blame it on them. :P GiollaUidir 23:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Cappagh

I edited Cappagh to match pretty much every other "Villages in Nothern Ireland" node to actually match the geographical and political reality that it's in Northern Ireland, not the mythical, very POV Ulster construct you popped it in. Unfortunately the NI Town info box doesn't support villages very well, as it demands a population figure, and the census doesn't go down to village level, only to ward, hence the clippage. You might want to consider proposing a new info box, as well as looking at how the current ones work (you don't have to do them as manual tables!). So please, keep the geography NPOV, after all your definition of "active service" makes me seeth, but I'm not about to jump all over it because it's *almost* neutral --Blowdart 21:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Aye, twas James McDade that raised the hackles, but I don't think there will ever be language both sides agree on. At least not for a couple of hundred years after the mess is sorted. --Blowdart 09:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

A plea

Please stop supporting terrorist organisations like you did here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Irish_National_Liberation_Army#INLA_.2F_IRSP.

Thank you.

Ice Cold 14:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hahaha,lets just stop now,ok? We both know that those kind of informations would have been impossible to find out without being close to them.Even if you are their member,you still shouldnt support it publicly and making them look good.It will be nice if you revert that edit,and as Ia sign of good will I wont report you to admins,but please revert it.Thanks Ice Cold 15:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your edits to United Kingdom, the issue of 'Britain' has had a lot of discussion. Please do not simply make changes in this area without discussing. Thank you. DJ Clayworth 21:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Mairead Farrell

Hi, the article seems fine to me, although I don't have any additional information about her. The only thing I'd question is whether the IRA luanched "massive offensive" in 1976, in response to the revocation of special category status. Firstly, the IRA ended a year long ceasefire early in that year, so an offensive bombing campaign might just as easily have been a response to that. Secondly, the normal version of IRA organisation at this time is that they "downsized" to have smaller, cellular structures rather than recruiting many more young operatives as they did in the early 70s (for internal security etc). Either way, quoting a source might clear things up a bit.

Regards, Jdorney 12:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Dominic McGlinchey

Hi, [Dominic McGlinchey|the article] was edited due to false information being removed, in line with the encyclopaedic principle of wikipedia. Please do no revert the article back to include known false information.

Regards, Lessthanthree 16:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

As you can see the information you kept deleting has been readded with refs. Anyone with even a basic knowledge of the past 30 yrs in Ireland would have known that.

User page image...

Without comment on the content or caption of it, the placement of said image may trigger the automatic assumption of regular Wikipedians that one of the subjects is the operator of the account. This may not be what you intended. 68.39.174.238 00:43, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I very much doubt they would. Thanks for your concern, nonetheless.GiollaUidir 16:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I thought you would be interested to see the following discussion where we are debating the use of the term volunteer as a member of the IRA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_%28Ireland-related_articles%29#IRA_articles:_usage_of_the_word_.22volunteer.22 Vintagekits 16:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Death of Bobby Sands

On what basis do you think the lack of acknowledgement, or whatever you want to call it, in the House of Commons for the death of Sands was notable? Logica 01:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

PMJI but I think (as the person who added this to the article first) that it should be debated on Talk:Bobby Sands. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 21:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

James McDade

Astrotrain should have contacted you as the creator of the article on James McDade to inform you that he has nominated the page for deletion. As he "forgotten" to do so I thought I would tell you. You can go here to see the nomination regards--Vintagekits 15:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks like its going to be kept. Just try and keep an eye on him as he has been trying to delete a number of articles without any prior discusion.--Vintagekits 17:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi mate!

what you been up to lately?--Vintagekits 15:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Worms!!!! sounds lovely. I have a couple of pictures of the Guilford pub missions - not sure if I should use them in the article. If you go to my user page you will be able to send me an email, if you email me I will reply and attached the photos and get your opinion.--Vintagekits 17:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Accusation of slander. That sounds pretty negative to me, and there was nothing to substantiate it. I don't understand the timings you've given. That has no relevance to a warning. Tyrenius 21:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Loughall Martyrs

Technically they could be brought back as standalone articles, but I'm not in favour of it. There's just not enough information about the rest of them in my opinion, whereas with Commander Kelly there is. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 12:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, I would probably bring back, Seamus Donnelly or Declan Arthurs but might think about Tony Gormely at some stage in the future.--Vintagekits 12:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

If we can get more information I've no objections, but at the moment it's pretty thin on the ground you must admit? One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 13:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, they should not be resorected in the near future and should problem be rebuilt through the WP:IR process.--Vintagekits 13:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

We've got permission from the deleting admin to resurrect any of the articles anyway, as they don't need admin help for the others. However he said we'd need to take it straight back to AfD if we did, so if an article can be created with enough information to pass an AfD then I'm all in favour.

Alistair McConnachie

hi. please explain why you added notability tag to Alistair McConnachie article. There are articles on the leaders of other very small scottish political parties. Please explain why he is significantly less notable than them. thanks. Willy turner 23:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Article Speedy Deletion Warning

A tag has been placed on Minor Scottish political parties, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Boricuaeddie^{Talk • Contribs • Spread the love!} 20:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. This is a reply to your comments on my talk page. Please do not create pages you are still working on, as Wikipedia:Stub clearly states that they are in danger of being deleted. Instead, please create subpages for articles you are creating but are still incomplete. Also, please see WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. Thank you. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie^{Talk • Contribs • Spread the love!} 20:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Boricuaeddie^{Talk • Contribs • Spread the love!} 20:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I've moved the article to User:GiollaUidir/Minor Scottish political parties for you to work on it. When done you can cut-and-past to a new article. Let me know if you any help. --Steve _(Stephen) ^talk 00:05, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Bobby_Sands.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bobby_Sands.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 10:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Cats in Irish Republicans

Hello. I note you have been editing the categories of a number of Irish republicans and adding Special Category Status to them. Please note that SCS was a very specific definition (according to the article) and many of the people who you have added that cat to were not afforded that status. I appreciate the "imprisoned for terrorism" status is under dispute at the moment, by myself and a few other editors are in the process of trying to recategorise all these individuals in a more neutral manner (see User_talk:Rockpocket#Prisoner_cats) It was be opened for discussion at CfD once we have a concrete proposal. However, in the meantime, I'm going to revert these as the SCS status is incorrect as far as my research shows (of course, if I am wrong and you can provide a source stating otherwise, then please do so). Thanks. Rockpocket 20:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

UK Life League

I have not deleted referenced information. I have removed a sentence, added to a statement and link added by another user, which incorrectly restricts the range of the statement in question, and thus suggests that UKLL oppose only gay rights legislation when it raises free-speech issues. This is not the case: the organisation is quite explicit in that opposes gays rights legislation per se, including, but not limited to, lowering of the age of consent in Northern Ireland (to which the reference refers) and civic partnerships, which have no freedom of speech issues.

This is not an issue of information suppression: please do not make it out to be. It is quite the reverse. Although an addition rather than a deletion, your edit has the effect of removing fully-referenced meaning from the article. Moreover, your addition is not supported by the link, which does not refer to free speech issues.86.0.203.120 17:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Pigeon feeding.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Pigeon feeding.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Holyrood Secondary Badge.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Holyrood Secondary Badge.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:DermO'N.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DermO'N.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

ASUs

It's not so much the existence of an ASU in Birmingham (IIRC Dillon says they were also sent over from Ireland, not recuited locally), it's the meaningless and ultimately misleading sentence that was there. As it was, it was a meaningless factoid that didn't really say anything informative.

What really needs to be in its place is how the IRA's England operations evolved over time. Starting with the 1973 attacks where Kelly, the Price sisters et al were caught at the airport after the "Close England" order. As a result they started using sleepers, which is why the Balcombe Street ASU were so effective as they remained in England. Then after that you've got people like Tuite operating, and in the 80s the setting up of the England Department which aimed to use new recruits with no background that would mean they would be known to the security forces, in order to avoid the ridiculous type stuff where Bobby Storey was sent over to break Keenan out of prison when he a well known IRA man and was supposedly one of the IRA's most recognisable members.

The previous sentence just ignored all that, it was talking about the Brigade structure right before it, and just seemed to add on "oh, and there were a couple of ASUs in England etc" while ignoring the whole new organisational structure. The best source for the England stuff is "Twenty-Five Years of Terror: The IRA's War Against the British" (also published as "The Enemy Within") by Martin Dillon. Doesn't seem to be readily available in mainstream bookshops, but it's easy enough to pick up cheap on Abebooks or Amazon Marketplace. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 19:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Holy Cross.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Holy Cross.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Troublesome use of AWB

You just recently used AWB to remove paragraphing at DNA Microarray that will have to be reverted or fixed by hand. AWB is suppose to save work, not create it for others.
Please stop using AWB to blindly force changes to article spacings and white space. This is too often an artistic judgment or a use that can't be trivially changed by automation.
I have previously used strings of <br>s to generate white space in places where it couldn't be created with returns, and there is nothing wrong with doing so.
Note that AWB guiderules specify that it is not to used for controversial edits. (Please reply here if desired) Milo 18:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Sheridan Faslane.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Sheridan Faslane.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [3], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Sheridan Faslane.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Polly (Parrot) 22:17, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

The change by 92.20.102.211, may have been incorrect as it mentioned "The Sun" instead of Scotsman.com which is cited as the source, but the other changes, including those made by me, were only made to represent more accurately what is claimed in the source. The relevant parts of the source are: "Its standard livery is green throughout Britain" (about Subway; does not say Larkhall is the only exception) and "a resident painted a stretch red, white and blue" (about the railings). --Snigbrook ^(talk) 18:23, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Bloody Sunday (1972) fatality figures

Hey GiollaUidir. I saw that your recent edit to Bloody Sunday (1972) re-inserted the figure for the number of protesters shot during the incident. This figure seems to be disputed between different sources, as I've mentioned at Talk:Bloody Sunday (1972)#Number_of_protesters_shot. Could you please have a quick read and offer your thoughts? Thanks! haz (talk) 14:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

AGF

A pointed reference to assuming good faith isn't particularly constructive, and referring to my edit as vandalism is definitely not on. The citation you provided here isn't a valid source for the text in the article. The source, at best, supports text such as "Two British MPs have compared the Gaza Strip to the Warsaw Ghetto". The text in the article implies that Gaza is a ghetto, which is patently false - it's a bit large, for one thing, and not part of a city for another (see the lead paragraph of Ghetto).

File source problem with File:DermO'N.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:DermO'N.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

The Famine Song

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Famine Song, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Famine song. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:10, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

American and British spellings

I notice you've lately been switching some spellings from "American" to "British"—for example organization to organisation and skeptic to sceptic. However, both of these are valid spellings in Britain and Ireland. Here, -ize spellings such as realize, realizing and realization are known as Oxford spelling (see here for more info). Skeptic is also the earliest known spelling of the word in English but, as it's become less common here, many mistake it as an Americanism. ~Asarlaí 16:22, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
