Something strange has been going on here. Over the past two days loads of US military planes have been flying over my house. Weird....and a wee bit mystifying. What the hell is going on!!!!!. Another thing, I'm having sporadic server problems.-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 12:31, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Jeanne, sometime ago you were very kind on reviewing Teresa Cristina of the Two Sicilies, then a FA nominee. If you have the interest, could you take a look at Princess Maria Amélia of Brazil? The nomination page is here. Whther you support or oppose it, it won't matter. A third opinion is always appreciated. Regards, -- Lecen ( talk) 20:09, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Jeanne, I know I miss Jack as well! As for the articles I think there's a shortage of possible articles to create, I'll probably spend alot of time expanding and improving. I believe you're not creating articles anymore?-- David ( talk) 10:47, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I read your comment at Talk:Teena Marie. I left a comment of my own, and just wanted to invite you to respond, especially since you seem to have known her personally.

A request, would you have a chat with him. He seems to be loosing it completely at the moment and at this rate sooner or later he will get a block. The ANI report showed the level of feeling in the community. His behaviour today was just farcical.

I've seen you use this term a lot and am intrigued by what you mean as devolutionists. What you really need to understand is that devolution is a UK policy of devolving power to the various bits of the UK. Corrections on those articles I fear is something you are not able to do because, unfortunately, sadly, you are very much misinformed of British/Irish affairs. Please take Jeanne's, Snowded's and Ghmyrtle's advice and put the proverbial sock in it. You are not doing you yourself any good. Just step back--give it a rest and get more sleep.

I promised to let you know when I'd finished my latest article. Well, here it is: Timothy Everest. I stumbled across it while working on List of Welsh people. It consisted of direct copies from articles found on newspapers, magazines and websites, and so had to be completely re-written. I found it even harder than writing an article from scratch!

I assume you're the same as the User:Boleyn that has edited the Ladies Hall article? Either way, I thought you'd be interested in this (on loan from someone on WP:LIBRARY so I should get him to take it down within the next few hours) which suggests that the whole idea of it being a school is just Chinese whispers based on Nichols's supposition (p283-297). I'd be interested to know exactly what the source is that talks about a foundation in 1615 - Shapiro makes a half-decent case that this was just the queen's attendants putting on a show whilst the king was away.

A UVF patrol led by Major Boyle was suspicious of two vehicles, a minibus and a car parked near the border. Major Boyle ordered his patrol to apprehend the occupants for questioning. As they were being questioned, Major Boyle and Lt Sommerville began to search the minibus. As they began to enter the vehicle, a bomb was detonated and both men were killed outright. At the precise moment of the explosion the patrol came under intense automatic fire from the occupants of the other vehicle. The patrol sergeant immediately ordered fire to be returned. Using self-loading rifles and sub-machine guns, the patrol returned fire killing three of the attackers and wounding another. The patrol later recovered two Armalite rifles and a pistol. The UVF maintains regular border patrols due to the continued activities of the Provisional IRA. The [1] Mid-Ulster Battalion has been assisting the South Down-South Armagh units since the IRA's Forkhill boobytrap which killed four British soldiers.
Three UVF members are being treated for gunshot wounds after last night but not in hospital.
Punctuation, capitalisation and paragraph breaks are as per the original source (Martin Dillon, The Dirty War, London: Arrow Books 1991) The [2] symbols do not appear in the original source but where inserted by me to indicate the page break in the book. Everything before is from page 214, everything after from 215. Hope it's useful. Keresaspa ( talk) 18:08, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Jeanne, you seem to be interested in articles deal with The Troubles - I saw all the work you put into the Miami Showband killings article (good work btw!). I happen to be very interested in Bloody Sunday, and would like to work on the article, but I've done a pretty poor job of that so far, making enemies with everyone (some of whom may be your friends). If you have the time, any chance you might want to get involved editing that article? I have no problem if we disagree 100%; in fact that might be even better. Cheers!

Llongafarchiadau/Congratulations. Your excellent article on the Miami Showband killings has been promoted to WP:GA. It is a difficult subject, which you handled with sensitivity and a neutrality that shows true class. Thank you. Good work Jeanne, it is well deserved. Daicaregos ( talk) 21:14, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
1. Quick question Jeanne: who is quoted as having said "Please don't shoot me, don't kill me"? The full sentence reads as if it was said by them both. "Both men had pleaded for their lives before they were shot, having cried out: "Please don't shoot me, don't kill me". It would be odd that both men to have used exactly the same words before they were killed. Daicaregos ( talk) 09:46, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
2. Do you have a source saying "The UVF's Mid-Ulster Brigade, led by Robin Jackson, was one of the most ruthless paramilitary groups that operated in the 1970s." (from the mural caption)? Daicaregos ( talk) 10:10, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
That Irish Times reference you just added is interesting. The part about up to 700 bands criss-crossing the country every night is surprising - and notable. Are you sure the paragraph is relevant to the killings? It should certainly be on the Miami Showband article though. btw, I reckon you have cracked in-line citation referencing Jeanne. Well done.

Good afternoon, Jeanne. I have just found a front page article in the Boston Globe to go with my morning coffee, and know immediately that you will appreciate reading the contents of it. The article describes an oral history project of the college in which a republican and a loyalist interviewer recorded the thoughts of several combatants in the Troubles, each interviewing persons on their respective sides of the conflicts. The interviewees were not warned that in the future the government might subpoena the tapes of their conversations; now at the request of the PSNI the US Department of Justice has done just that. The project states that the interviews basically would not have been possible if the participants knew their statements may be released publicly and those whose statements were recorded were told that such publication would only occur upon either their personal release or death. You must understand the implications of all this. It is an important story, and the college is now being pressured to fight the subpoena by other researchers in order to protect the genre of oral research in such sensitive areas. Here is a link to the article on boston.com, the web arm of the newspaper. I am a daily subscriber to the paper, and have full access to the website as a result. If for some reason you can not read it, please email me and I will send you a text and PDF version for your library of information. Incidentally, it is mentioned in the article that Boston College was "founded in 1863 to educate the children of refugees of the Irish famine"; the BC website states "Through its first seven decades, it remained a small undergraduate institution, serving the sons of the Irish working class." The college is a Jesuit institution, attendance at which is considered the pinnacle of education success among some in the Irish American community here (my OR but trust me it's true). The status of being a "triple eagle" (the school's mascot is an eagle) is code for identifying persons, all male, who are BC stalwarts and graduates of BC High School, BC and finally BC Law School. Please let me know if you need a copy of this, I thought you would like to know as any battles over the PSNI initiated subpoena will likely become an ongoing legal and academic saga.

Hi Jeanne! Well done with Alix, I remember coming across her when I expanded her mother's article. I didn't realize there was so much information about her; especially her trip to the middle-east. I've been trying to look for that portrait of Isabella Appiani, you know when you get attached to a person and you want to know what they looked like? I've looked through several Vouet online galleries, alas I find nothing. There's two articles I created last week that you may be interested in Isabella of Scotland, Countess of Norfolk and Matilda FitzRoy, Countess of Perche. Cheers-- David ( talk) 09:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
You might have created alot of articles based around historical female figures, but you clearly do not understand how titles actually work so i'm going to show you:
Sir Thomas Boleyn married Lady Elizabeth Howard, but due to her title of "Lady" coming from being a Dukes daughter, she automatically outranks a Knights wife so she would be known as Lady Elizabeth Boleyn. If she had just been plain old Elizabeth Boleyn she would have been styled Elizabeth Boleyn, Lady Boleyn.
Mary Boleyn, as the daughter of a knight is known as just Mistress Mary Boleyn as the children of those with knighthoods are given no special style. Upon her marriage to Sir William Carey, she will be styled Mary Carey, Lady Carey as she is the wife of a knight. However upon her fathers elevation to an Earldom she automatically moves up quite a few ranks in the order of precedence and because of that she is now styled Lady Mary Carey not Mary Carey, Lady Carey, as her father's title outranks her husbands title. The same applies when she married Sir William Stafford.
Trust me I know alot about these kind of things as my aunt who is the daughter of an Earl married a baronet and there was alot of confusion on what she was supposed to be styled now, but it got sorted out soon enough when we wrote to Debretts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack Wills It ( talk • contribs) 09:38, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey Jeanne! Last week I created an article on Alice of Armenia, part of the article was on her struggle to claim the Armenian throne which was held by Isabella, Queen of Armenia. Other people attempted to claim the throne, including Isabella's older sister Stephanie of Armenia (an article I created a while back) and Stephanie's young son John. Her husband John of Brienne was to claim Armenia (as his wife and son arguably had a better claim than Isabella) but Stephanie and their son soon "died" within a week of each-other and I was unable to draw up a reason for their deaths, so I'm wondering if foul play was involved in Stephanie and John's death as I believe it is too much of a coincidence that they both died at such a major time, unless they were murdered. Maybe Isabella's regent Constantine of Baberon wanted shut of them? He had already exiled Isabella's mother, imprisoned Alice and killed Alice's son.

Hello there, Jeanne boleyn. I've been reading some of your series of articles on subjects related to loyalism. First of all, congratulations on your industry - you are certainly putting content out there. I find the articles to be engaging reads and full of detail.

I've done a bit of digging and discovered that the Eagle was the former name for what is now called the Royal Bar on the Shankill Road. It's on the corner of Snugville Street more or less facing the West Kirk Presbyterian Church and thus smack in the heart of the UVF's traditional mid-Shankill stronghold. Now that I think of it the bar's top floor does look like a weird mixture of an office and a fortress! It's also very close to that other UVF hangout the Rex Bar where C Company began the feud back in the day. Keresaspa ( talk) 01:53, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I create articles at Wikipedia for one reason only: to educate readers. I spend hours, days, weeks, sometimes years on an article, making sure it's factually-correct, well-written and backed by reliable sources. I put as much care into the articles I create as a gardener does for the flowers in his or her garden. When someone suggests that an informative, useful article I created or expanded should be deleted from Wikipedia or merged, it's like a herd of bulls rampaging through the metaphorical garden. It's sad and bodes ill for the future of Wikipedia.

Hi Jeanne!
I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!
It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!
Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

I often wonder though, are you ever troubled by writing about the troubles? Do you never feel like taking a break and writing something that is a little more light hearted?

But mainly for fighting, of course. Hi, just kidding with you there, it's lovely to see you being so open when the majority of us are so secret. You take a nice picture and are quite interesting and that's great, but I want to challenge your position on IECOLL. Maybe I think you are weak or something and I am going to coerce you. Well I do not doubt your integrity, but I'd still like to coerce you if that is not too strong a word. As I've come to you personally, and I do not see any flaws promoting such behaviour, I should intend to avoid bringing this up elsewhere, or being insistent with you for that matter. I just want to challenge you respectfully on a minor point and see what you might say. So, some time after, your vote and statement on IECOLL, I asked you this. Perhaps you didn't wish to respond, but as you haven't been conspicuously involving youself, I supposed you might not have seen it or it was too long and insensible to read, so I supposed I might contact you here. Please, tell me you aren't interested, that's fine of course, I could be notorious for being long and slow to read with a high possibility of making little sense in the end, but here's what I ask, and hopefully it takes your interest for just a few moments:
You told us that a person from the republic, when asked what country they are from, responds simply, "Ireland." If you were in a position where you needed to make the distinction, that you were from the republic in particular, you'd have to say, "I am from the Republic of Ireland," or "The South," or something. Apparently you do not concieve of, or are not familiar with such a situation. Would you reason the same without claiming you have no care or requisite to distinguish, and if that be the case, if you do not need to distinguish, aren't you claiming to be from the island when you answer "from Ireland"? Aren't you really saying that those who do not require to distinguish reply, "from Ireland," rather than those only from the republic? And how would you value those from the north, in this respect, who also reply, "from Ireland"?
Hopefully to find you well and to leave you that way, ~ R. T. G 13:20, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

I am not well-versed in some aspects of Wiki, as you may know, so I am asking you, is it possible to propose a compromise in the middle of the vote? There seems to be a growing liking for James VI and James I. It would (hopefully) bring over the editors who opposed the name as too long. Also, some of the most adament Europen editors, both English and Scottish seem to like the idea (or at least that is what I am seeing in their comments). I think the Canadians might go for it as well. Not too many American represented as of yet, except myself and maybe one other. Hard to say.
What do you think? What would be the proper procedure? The numbers seem to stay tied now. It might be the solution.

PS: Daicaregos knows he did wrong & that's why he just deleted my showing of it to you guys, at his talkpage. PS: He's lucky that I'm not of the habit of running to ANI, AN, Wikiquette, etc etc. GoodDay ( talk) 16:42, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
I'v redd a number of news articles and also saw a documentary a few months ago that described John 'Bunter' Graham as the UVF's current (and long-standing) top man. Whether this means he's the Chief of Staff, I'm not sure. In these news articles he's variously described as the "UVF chief", "UVF leader" and "long-standing top commander". In Crimes of Loyalty: A history of the UDA he's mentiond (once) as "the UVF's commandant", while The Northern Ireland Question: The Peace Process and the Belfast Agreement calls him its "long-serving overall commander".
What do you think? ~Asarlaí 19:03, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
I am not canvassing, but since you asked a few weeks ago about remaining here against the constant pressures of deletionists and the bickering that becomes a required part of participation, I would like you to take note of issues that are surfacing at Sarah's talk page. In my view, your writing deserves to be read and you could do similar things, following the same formal citation style, on a private blog. You may even be able to make money doing that. I seriously have a problem with the informal "Jimbo kingdom" and the administrators who fashion themselves authorities, when they are merely loudmouths. So, one man's opinion. They don't necessarily deserve people like you or Sarah or Rashers or others, and maybe it's time they lose. Sswonk ( talk) 14:38, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

I notice you linked Pound Loney in the Falls Road, Belfast article so I thought I should let you know that Pound Loney already had an article but it was redirected to Subdivisions of Belfast about a year ago by User:Asarlaí as its content was pretty weak. I target the redirect to the Falls yesterday as I felt it was a more appropriate place but just so as you know if you do intend to make this article it has already existed and could be recreated at Pound Loney instead as disambiguation is probably not needed (unless there are other Pound Loneys I don't know about!). Incidentally the same was true of Sailortown which existed previously but was merged in similar circumstances. Keresaspa ( talk) 18:44, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Firstly, I must apologise for adding the category to far too many articles. Once again, my enthusiasm got the better of me. It would have being better if I created articles on the surnames concerned, all of which demonstrate British ancestry (I mean British in both sences - Cymric speakers from Strathclyde/Cumbria/Wales/Cornwall/Isle of Man, and people from the island of Britan). Breathnach, Walsh, Wallace, and related names belong in this broad category. I also included people who bore surnames of French or English surnames, or who had a parent or grandparent who was French or English, in similar categories. Regarding Isabel de Clare, I thought that as she was part-Welsh it would be obvious that she was of British descent. Shall I revert all the articles, or have you already done so? Thanks for your input, and especially your courtesy! Is mise, Fergananim ( talk) 04:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I've used many of your articles to learn the lineage of Colonial American governors. In this process I found a source, The Magna Charta Barons and Their American Ancestors by Charles H. Browning, published 1898, that lists an additional daughter for Sir Thomas Fienes 8th Baron Dacre and Lady Anne Bourchier: Lady Catherine Fienes who married Richard Loudenoys/Londoniis. I do not know if you already considered this source and rejected it, or have not read that particular entry (page 300). It is available online at http://books.google.co.jp/books?id=LsYJ_YB8dpwC&pg=PA301&lpg=PA301&dq=charles+h.+browning+harlakenden&source=bl&ots=2YuZDyXPNf&sig=kZ-IGeKlHL0n0GeJfBbzqzqVkJw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=f8EST42JF8rxmAWQlYGBCg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false.

Today I came upon the website of the Glenravel Local History Project. It publishes books and magazines on the history of Belfast. However, I was surprized to find that, since 2001, it's been publishing a whole stack of magazines about the Troubles! Each issue is an in-depth timeline of each month of the Troubles, drawn from old newspapers and the like. After more serching I found a website that lets you read them in their entirety (well, a lot of them). Surely sources can't get much better than this :-P ~Asarlaí 13:05, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure what to think, to be honest, Jeanne. Assuming good faith on Brocach's part (even though I've clashed with him on a few occasions in the past), it does appear that Frazer himself has suggested that the Tandragee murders were in some way related to him, so I'm not sure it's a BLP violation and is probably notable.

Hi Jeanne,
Please accept my apologies for not discussing my changes on the article's talk page last night. I'd been meaning to contribute to the page for some time and only got round to it last night. You're quite right I should have discussed any major changes to your work before I deleted them. I see you made a lot of effort today in tidying up the page and it's certainly better than when I left it last night when tiredness over took me.
Thanks for creating the page and for the other work you've done on pages about the Troubles. I plan to put stuff on the talk page in future before making significant edits.
Best wishes,

![]() Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Jeanne boleyn. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click

I've seen you use this term a lot and am intrigued by what you mean as devolutionists. What you really need to understand is that devolution is a UK policy of devolving power to the various bits of the UK. Corrections on those articles I fear is something you are not able to do because, unfortunately, sadly, you are very much misinformed of British/Irish affairs. Please take Jeanne's, Snowded's and Ghmyrtle's advice and put the proverbial sock in it. You are not doing you yourself any good. Just step back--give it a rest and get more sleep.

I assume you're the same as the User:Boleyn that has edited the Ladies Hall article? Either way, I thought you'd be interested in this (on loan from someone on WP:LIBRARY so I should get him to take it down within the next few hours) which suggests that the whole idea of it being a school is just Chinese whispers based on Nichols's supposition (p283-297). I'd be interested to know exactly what the source is that talks about a foundation in 1615 - Shapiro makes a half-decent case that this was just the queen's attendants putting on a show whilst the king was away.

A UVF patrol led by Major Boyle was suspicious of two vehicles, a minibus and a car parked near the border. Major Boyle ordered his patrol to apprehend the occupants for questioning. As they were being questioned, Major Boyle and Lt Sommerville began to search the minibus. As they began to enter the vehicle, a bomb was detonated and both men were killed outright. At the precise moment of the explosion the patrol came under intense automatic fire from the occupants of the other vehicle. The patrol sergeant immediately ordered fire to be returned. Using self-loading rifles and sub-machine guns, the patrol returned fire killing three of the attackers and wounding another. The patrol later recovered two Armalite rifles and a pistol. The UVF maintains regular border patrols due to the continued activities of the Provisional IRA. The [1] Mid-Ulster Battalion has been assisting the South Down-South Armagh units since the IRA's Forkhill boobytrap which killed four British soldiers.
Three UVF members are being treated for gunshot wounds after last night but not in hospital.
Punctuation, capitalisation and paragraph breaks are as per the original source (Martin Dillon, The Dirty War, London: Arrow Books 1991) The [2] symbols do not appear in the original source but where inserted by me to indicate the page break in the book. Everything before is from page 214, everything after from 215. Hope it's useful. Keresaspa ( talk) 18:08, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

1. Quick question Jeanne: who is quoted as having said "Please don't shoot me, don't kill me"? The full sentence reads as if it was said by them both. "Both men had pleaded for their lives before they were shot, having cried out: "Please don't shoot me, don't kill me". It would be odd that both men to have used exactly the same words before they were killed. Daicaregos ( talk) 09:46, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

That Irish Times reference you just added is interesting. The part about up to 700 bands criss-crossing the country every night is surprising - and notable. Are you sure the paragraph is relevant to the killings? It should certainly be on the Miami Showband article though. btw, I reckon you have cracked in-line citation referencing Jeanne. Well done.

Good afternoon, Jeanne. I have just found a front page article in the Boston Globe to go with my morning coffee, and know immediately that you will appreciate reading the contents of it. The article describes an oral history project of the college in which a republican and a loyalist interviewer recorded the thoughts of several combatants in the Troubles, each interviewing persons on their respective sides of the conflicts. The interviewees were not warned that in the future the government might subpoena the tapes of their conversations; now at the request of the PSNI the US Department of Justice has done just that. The project states that the interviews basically would not have been possible if the participants knew their statements may be released publicly and those whose statements were recorded were told that such publication would only occur upon either their personal release or death. You must understand the implications of all this. It is an important story, and the college is now being pressured to fight the subpoena by other researchers in order to protect the genre of oral research in such sensitive areas. Here is a link to the article on boston.com, the web arm of the newspaper. I am a daily subscriber to the paper, and have full access to the website as a result. If for some reason you can not read it, please email me and I will send you a text and PDF version for your library of information. Incidentally, it is mentioned in the article that Boston College was "founded in 1863 to educate the children of refugees of the Irish famine"; the BC website states "Through its first seven decades, it remained a small undergraduate institution, serving the sons of the Irish working class." The college is a Jesuit institution, attendance at which is considered the pinnacle of education success among some in the Irish American community here (my OR but trust me it's true). The status of being a "triple eagle" (the school's mascot is an eagle) is code for identifying persons, all male, who are BC stalwarts and graduates of BC High School, BC and finally BC Law School. Please let me know if you need a copy of this, I thought you would like to know as any battles over the PSNI initiated subpoena will likely become an ongoing legal and academic saga.

You might have created alot of articles based around historical female figures, but you clearly do not understand how titles actually work so i'm going to show you:
Sir Thomas Boleyn married Lady Elizabeth Howard, but due to her title of "Lady" coming from being a Dukes daughter, she automatically outranks a Knights wife so she would be known as Lady Elizabeth Boleyn. If she had just been plain old Elizabeth Boleyn she would have been styled Elizabeth Boleyn, Lady Boleyn.
Mary Boleyn, as the daughter of a knight is known as just Mistress Mary Boleyn as the children of those with knighthoods are given no special style. Upon her marriage to Sir William Carey, she will be styled Mary Carey, Lady Carey as she is the wife of a knight. However upon her fathers elevation to an Earldom she automatically moves up quite a few ranks in the order of precedence and because of that she is now styled Lady Mary Carey not Mary Carey, Lady Carey, as her father's title outranks her husbands title. The same applies when she married Sir William Stafford.
Trust me I know alot about these kind of things as my aunt who is the daughter of an Earl married a baronet and there was alot of confusion on what she was supposed to be styled now, but it got sorted out soon enough when we wrote to Debretts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack Wills It ( talk • contribs) 09:38, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey Jeanne! Last week I created an article on Alice of Armenia, part of the article was on her struggle to claim the Armenian throne which was held by Isabella, Queen of Armenia. Other people attempted to claim the throne, including Isabella's older sister Stephanie of Armenia (an article I created a while back) and Stephanie's young son John. Her husband John of Brienne was to claim Armenia (as his wife and son arguably had a better claim than Isabella) but Stephanie and their son soon "died" within a week of each-other and I was unable to draw up a reason for their deaths, so I'm wondering if foul play was involved in Stephanie and John's death as I believe it is too much of a coincidence that they both died at such a major time, unless they were murdered. Maybe Isabella's regent Constantine of Baberon wanted shut of them? He had already exiled Isabella's mother, imprisoned Alice and killed Alice's son.

Another article I'd like to write but would struggle with BLP issues on is the figure nicknamed the "Beast in the East" - quite a lot to say on him! Warofdreams talk 15:31, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

![]() | On 1 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article UVF Mid-Ulster Brigade, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the illegal loyalist paramilitary group the UVF Mid-Ulster Brigade was founded in 1972 by Billy Hanna, a decorated war hero? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Howdy Jeanne. It's been awhile since I last was involved with British & Irish political articles. I've managed to cleanse my passions for those topics & starting today - will lift my self-imposed restriction a little. I'm limiting myself to 'straw polls' from now on.

Hello there, Jeanne boleyn. I've been reading some of your series of articles on subjects related to loyalism. First of all, congratulations on your industry - you are certainly putting content out there. I find the articles to be engaging reads and full of detail. I have made a few minor edits to some of them, all to do with making the language a bit more neutral, ie substituting "unit" for "gang", "volunteer" for "hitman" etc. Hope you don't mind.

I've done a bit of digging and discovered that the Eagle was the former name for what is now called the Royal Bar on the Shankill Road. It's on the corner of Snugville Street more or less facing the West Kirk Presbyterian Church and thus smack in the heart of the UVF's traditional mid-Shankill stronghold. Now that I think of it the bar's top floor does look like a weird mixture of an office and a fortress! It's also very close to that other UVF hangout the Rex Bar where C Company began the feud back in the day. Keresaspa ( talk) 01:53, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I create articles at Wikipedia for one reason only: to educate readers. I spend hours, days, weeks, sometimes years on an article, making sure it's factually-correct, well-written and backed by reliable sources. I put as much care into the articles I create as a gardener does for the flowers in his or her garden. When someone suggests that an informative, useful article I created or expanded should be deleted from Wikipedia or merged, it's like a herd of bulls rampaging through the metaphorical garden. It's sad and bodes ill for the future of Wikipedia. So my fellow editors out there, affirm that there is a need for me to remain here or am I just wasting my time?-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 08:55, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jeanne!
I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!
It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!
Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Hi Jeanne. How are you? I'd like to say that I am a fan of your work on different aspects of the troubles, specifically indivduals involved in the troubles. You do a wonderful job. I often wonder though, are you ever troubled by writing about the troubles? Do you never feel like taking a break and writing something that is a little more light hearted? I say this because I think I myself would likely start feeling a little depressed if I wrote so much on those subjects. Carson101 ( talk) 15:12, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

But mainly for fighting, of course. Hi, just kidding with you there, it's lovely to see you being so open when the majority of us are so secret. You take a nice picture and are quite interesting and that's great, but I want to challenge your position on IECOLL. Maybe I think you are weak or something and I am going to coerce you. Well I do not doubt your integrity, but I'd still like to coerce you if that is not too strong a word. As I've come to you personally, and I do not see any flaws promoting such behaviour, I should intend to avoid bringing this up elsewhere, or being insistent with you for that matter. I just want to challenge you respectfully on a minor point and see what you might say. So, some time after, your vote and statement on IECOLL, I asked you this. Perhaps you didn't wish to respond, but as you haven't been conspicuously involving youself, I supposed you might not have seen it or it was too long and insensible to read, so I supposed I might contact you here. Please, tell me you aren't interested, that's fine of course, I could be notorious for being long and slow to read with a high possibility of making little sense in the end, but here's what I ask, and hopefully it takes your interest for just a few moments:
You told us that a person from the republic, when asked what country they are from, responds simply, "Ireland." If you were in a position where you needed to make the distinction, that you were from the republic in particular, you'd have to say, "I am from the Republic of Ireland," or "The South," or something. Apparently you do not concieve of, or are not familiar with such a situation. Would you reason the same without claiming you have no care or requisite to distinguish, and if that be the case, if you do not need to distinguish, aren't you claiming to be from the island when you answer "from Ireland"? Aren't you really saying that those who do not require to distinguish reply, "from Ireland," rather than those only from the republic? And how would you value those from the north, in this respect, who also reply, "from Ireland"?
Hopefully to find you well and to leave you that way, ~ R. T. G 13:20, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

I am not well-versed in some aspects of Wiki, as you may know, so I am asking you, is it possible to propose a compromise in the middle of the vote? There seems to be a growing liking for James VI and James I. It would (hopefully) bring over the editors who opposed the name as too long. Also, some of the most adament Europen editors, both English and Scottish seem to like the idea (or at least that is what I am seeing in their comments). I think the Canadians might go for it as well. Not too many American represented as of yet, except myself and maybe one other. Hard to say.
What do you think? What would be the proper procedure? The numbers seem to stay tied now. It might be the solution.

I'v redd a number of news articles and also saw a documentary a few months ago that described John 'Bunter' Graham as the UVF's current (and long-standing) top man. Whether this means he's the Chief of Staff, I'm not sure. In these news articles he's variously described as the "UVF chief", "UVF leader" and "long-standing top commander". In Crimes of Loyalty: A history of the UDA he's mentiond (once) as "the UVF's commandant", while The Northern Ireland Question: The Peace Process and the Belfast Agreement calls him its "long-serving overall commander".

I am not canvassing, but since you asked a few weeks ago about remaining here against the constant pressures of deletionists and the bickering that becomes a required part of participation, I would like you to take note of issues that are surfacing at Sarah's talk page. In my view, your writing deserves to be read and you could do similar things, following the same formal citation style, on a private blog. You may even be able to make money doing that. I seriously have a problem with the informal "Jimbo kingdom" and the administrators who fashion themselves authorities, when they are merely loudmouths. So, one man's opinion. They don't necessarily deserve people like you or Sarah or Rashers or others, and maybe it's time they lose. Sswonk ( talk) 14:38, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

I target the redirect to the Falls yesterday as I felt it was a more appropriate place but just so as you know if you do intend to make this article it has already existed and could be recreated at Pound Loney instead as disambiguation is probably not needed (unless there are other Pound Loneys I don't know about!).

Firstly, I must apologise for adding the category to far too many articles. Once again, my enthusiasm got the better of me. It would have being better if I created articles on the surnames concerned, all of which demonstrate British ancestry (I mean British in both sences - Cymric speakers from Strathclyde/Cumbria/Wales/Cornwall/Isle of Man, and people from the island of Britan). Breathnach, Walsh, Wallace, and related names belong in this broad category. I also included people who bore surnames of French or English surnames, or who had a parent or grandparent who was French or English, in similar categories. Regarding Isabel de Clare, I thought that as she was part-Welsh it would be obvious that she was of British descent. Shall I revert all the articles, or have you already done so? Thanks for your input, and especially your courtesy! Is mise, Fergananim ( talk) 04:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I've used many of your articles to learn the lineage of Colonial American governors. In this process I found a source, The Magna Charta Barons and Their American Ancestors by Charles H. Browning, published 1898, that lists an additional daughter for Sir Thomas Fienes 8th Baron Dacre and Lady Anne Bourchier: Lady Catherine Fienes who married Richard Loudenoys/Londoniis. I do not know if you already considered this source and rejected it, or have not read that particular entry (page 300).

Today I came upon the website of the Glenravel Local History Project. It publishes books and magazines on the history of Belfast. However, I was surprized to find that, since 2001, it's been publishing a whole stack of magazines about the Troubles! Each issue is an in-depth timeline of each month of the Troubles, drawn from old newspapers and the like. After more serching I found a website that lets you read them in their entirety (well, a lot of them). Surely sources can't get much better than this :-P ~Asarlaí 13:05, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Grrrmpf. I've never been able to persuade Giacomo of anything, I'm afraid, and this time I won't even try, as you can see on his page. May I ask why you don't have an e-mail link so publicity-shy people can answer you more conveniently? Bishonen | talk 18:19, 8 February 2012 (UTC).

I'm not sure what to think, to be honest, Jeanne. Assuming good faith on Brocach's part (even though I've clashed with him on a few occasions in the past), it does appear that Frazer himself has suggested that the Tandragee murders were in some way related to him, so I'm not sure it's a BLP violation and is probably notable. What are you thinking? — JonC ॐ 21:50, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

If you provide an email link, I have found some info from the 1930 census about identified persons in the photos from the collection including the three women.It seemed inappropriate to post personal info about them on Ref Desk. Edison ( talk) 16:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jeanne,
Please accept my apologies for not discussing my changes on the article's talk page last night. I'd been meaning to contribute to the page for some time and only got round to it last night. You're quite right I should have discussed any major changes to your work before I deleted them. I see you made a lot of effort today in tidying up the page and it's certainly better than when I left it last night when tiredness over took me.
Thanks for creating the page and for the other work you've done on pages about the Troubles. I plan to put stuff on the talk page in future before making significant edits.
Best wishes,

Wowsers, this is weird. 1) I'm topic-banned from British & Irish articles. 2) Daicaregos is retired. 3) Carson101 is virtually retired. 4) Snowded has been fairly quiet recently. GoodDay ( talk) 18:17, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Can you tell me who the person on this photo is please?

Thanks for the invitation but I honestly cannot remember anything about my rare participation in dispute resolution. I vaguely recall ahving taken part within the last year but the details are foggy. I'm sorry.-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 18:03, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
