Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate
your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to
Carter (name), it appears that you have added
original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses
combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a
reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the
tutorial on citing sources. Thank you.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Excuse me? When have I blanked anything? The original page had no mention of the origin of the name, I added a source. I put it in that order because I put the first source for the Irish origin first. You claimed my source was illegitimate even though I pulled that source out of the original website, you said the source was illegitimate and now it needs citation you removed parts from the source for no reason like you had done on the James Monroe page are now ranting and raving like a lunatic. https://www.houseofnames.com/mcveigh-family-crest#cite_note-1 How am I to know what sources you consider acceptable to use? the source I added Munro, Colin (December 2015). "The Deep Ancestry of the Munros" (PDF). Newsletter of the Clan Munro (Association) Australia. Vol. 13 no. 3. Australia: Clan Munro (Association) Australia. pp. 4–5. Retrieved 12 January 2019. It seems acceptable for the Clan Munro page but not by your standards? I'm guessing it's acceptable there because you haven't got on that page and edited it yet? correct? Also I was not aware that & wasn't allowed on wikipedia I will note that future edits. I also didn't say Clan Monroe is not Scottish, I simply added their origin similar to Clan Sweeney for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Mcdermott2 ( talk • contribs)
Switching wording around is not blanking, you're guilty of blanking in removing parts of my edits and then claiming they need citations. Seems only the parts you agree with are acceptable regardless of what sources I use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Mcdermott25 ( talk • contribs)
You have claimed I blanked? when? Your pov pushing not me. You delete sources and pov push when you don't like an edit, which you're not allowed to do. See my original post — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Mcdermott25 ( talk • contribs)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at
Talk:Irish Americans, is considered
bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Or are you saying that the IP that made the original comment is another of your IP socks?

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Irish Gaels were affected by the policies of the Tudors and the Stewarts, the Gaelic Irish and, to a lesser extent, the Highlanders, were viewed both mentally and culturally as a lower form of humanity [1] (second paragraph) The English and later British sought to anglicise the population and bring Ireland under stronger centralised control, as part of what would become the British Empire. In 1542, Henry VIII of England declared the Lordship of Ireland a Kingdom and himself King of Ireland. The new English, whose power lay in the Pale of Dublin, then began to conquer the island. Gaelic kings were encouraged to apply for a surrender and regrant: to surrender their lands to the king, and then have them regranted as freeholds. Those who surrendered were also expected to follow English law and customs, speak English, and convert to the Protestant Anglican Church. Decades of conflict followed in the reign of Elizabeth I, culminating in the Nine Years' War (1594–1603). The war ended in defeat for the Irish Gaelic alliance, and brought an end to the independence of the last Irish Gaelic kingdoms.
In 1603, with the Union of the Crowns, King James of Scotland also became king of England and Ireland. James saw the Gaels as a barbarous and rebellious people in need of civilising,[83] and believed that Gaelic culture should be wiped out.[84] Also, while most of Britain had converted to Protestantism, most Gaels had held on to Catholicism. When the leaders of the Irish Gaelic alliance fled Ireland in 1607, their lands were confiscated. James set about colonising this land with English-speaking Protestant settlers from Great Britain, with the majority of the colonists being Scottish in what became known as the Plantation of Ulster
[2] By 1622, a survey found there were 6,402 British adult males on Plantation lands, of whom 3,100 were English and 3,700 Scottish – indicating a total adult planter population of around 12,000. However another 4,000 Scottish adult males had settled in unplanted Antrim and Down, giving a total settler population of about 19,000. literally says it in the source The result was that over the ensuing decades many Catholic Scots...were persuaded to settle in this part of Tyrone [Strabane] and a significant minority of these being Scottish Catholic Gàidhlig speakersCite error: A <ref>
tag is missing the closing </ref>
(see the
help page). The result was that over the ensuing decades many Catholic Scots...were persuaded to settle in this part of Tyrone [Strabane] not in my original edit but also from the same bookCite error: A <ref>
tag is missing the closing </ref>
(see the
help page). (The whole article)
Since then, the Gaelic language has gradually diminished in most of Ireland and Scotland. The 19th century was the turning point as The Great Hunger in Ireland, and across the Irish Sea the Highland Clearances, caused mass emigration (leading to Anglicisation, but also a large diaspora). The language was rolled back to the Gaelic strongholds of the north west of Scotland, the west of Ireland and Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.

Was just curious to see what you would do, the former edit made on here is not cited anywhere in the source added, I added the exact reference What would you consider constructive? So adding information most likely more accurate information about the topic is not constructive??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Mcdermott25 ( talk • contribs)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at
Gaels, without citing a
reliable source. Please review the guidelines at
Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. In the main I have been leaving detailed edit summaries when certainly, after being familiar with your misrepresentation of sources, I could be saving myself a lot of time by blanket reversions. Read the summaries. You make edits then attach a source as a supposed ref when, almost exclusively, it says nothing to support your edit. If what you claim is in the source is not there, that's all I can say about. If you believe there is a passage in a reference that does support your edit, if nobody else can spot it, point it out to us; quote it. Do it succinctly too as your long incoherent rambles are impenetrable and it is a further imposition on others for us to try and pick through them.

Hello, I'm
Mutt Lunker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
MacBrien, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the
tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Stop using this shopping site as a reference, it is not a

Please stop your
disruptive editing. If you continue to
vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at
McVeigh, you may be
blocked from editing. As you have been told numerous times, using an ampersand generally goes against
WP:MOS; see
WP:AMPERSAND. And stop making petty and pointless changes such as changing the order from "Scottish and Irish" to "Irish and Scottish", or blanking mentions of other countries or people to leave only mentions of Ireland or the Irish. It's embarrassing.

Excuse me? When have I blanked anything? The original page had no mention of the origin of the name, I added a source. I put it in that order because I put the first source for the Irish origin first. You claimed my source was illegitimate even though I pulled that source out of the original website, you said the source was illegitimate and now it needs citation you removed parts from the source for no reason like you had done on the James Monroe page are now ranting and raving like a lunatic. https://www.houseofnames.com/mcveigh-family-crest#cite_note-1 How am I to know what sources you consider acceptable to use? the source I added Munro, Colin (December 2015). "The Deep Ancestry of the Munros" (PDF). Newsletter of the Clan Munro (Association) Australia. Vol. 13 no. 3. Australia: Clan Munro (Association) Australia. pp. 4–5. Retrieved 12 January 2019. It seems acceptable for the Clan Munro page but not by your standards? I'm guessing it's acceptable there because you haven't got on that page and edited it yet? correct? Also I was not aware that & wasn't allowed on wikipedia I will note that future edits. I also didn't say Clan Monroe is not Scottish, I simply added their origin similar to Clan Sweeney for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Mcdermott2 ( talk • contribs)
Switching wording around is not blanking, you're guilty of blanking in removing parts of my edits and then claiming they need citations. Seems only the parts you agree with are acceptable regardless of what sources I use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Mcdermott25 ( talk • contribs)
You have claimed I blanked? when? Your pov pushing not me. You delete sources and pov push when you don't like an edit, which you're not allowed to do. See my original post — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Mcdermott25 ( talk • contribs)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at
Talk:Irish Americans, is considered
bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Or are you saying that the IP that made the original comment is another of your IP socks?

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Irish Gaels were affected by the policies of the Tudors and the Stewarts, the Gaelic Irish and, to a lesser extent, the Highlanders, were viewed both mentally and culturally as a lower form of humanity [1] (second paragraph) The English and later British sought to anglicise the population and bring Ireland under stronger centralised control, as part of what would become the British Empire. In 1542, Henry VIII of England declared the Lordship of Ireland a Kingdom and himself King of Ireland. The new English, whose power lay in the Pale of Dublin, then began to conquer the island. Gaelic kings were encouraged to apply for a surrender and regrant: to surrender their lands to the king, and then have them regranted as freeholds. Those who surrendered were also expected to follow English law and customs, speak English, and convert to the Protestant Anglican Church. Decades of conflict followed in the reign of Elizabeth I, culminating in the Nine Years' War (1594–1603). The war ended in defeat for the Irish Gaelic alliance, and brought an end to the independence of the last Irish Gaelic kingdoms.
In 1603, with the Union of the Crowns, King James of Scotland also became king of England and Ireland. James saw the Gaels as a barbarous and rebellious people in need of civilising,[83] and believed that Gaelic culture should be wiped out.[84] Also, while most of Britain had converted to Protestantism, most Gaels had held on to Catholicism. When the leaders of the Irish Gaelic alliance fled Ireland in 1607, their lands were confiscated. James set about colonising this land with English-speaking Protestant settlers from Great Britain, with the majority of the colonists being Scottish in what became known as the Plantation of Ulster
[2] By 1622, a survey found there were 6,402 British adult males on Plantation lands, of whom 3,100 were English and 3,700 Scottish – indicating a total adult planter population of around 12,000. However another 4,000 Scottish adult males had settled in unplanted Antrim and Down, giving a total settler population of about 19,000. literally says it in the source The result was that over the ensuing decades many Catholic Scots...were persuaded to settle in this part of Tyrone [Strabane] and a significant minority of these being Scottish Catholic Gàidhlig speakersCite error: A <ref>

(see the
help page). The result was that over the ensuing decades many Catholic Scots...were persuaded to settle in this part of Tyrone [Strabane] not in my original edit but also from the same bookCite error: A <ref>
tag is missing the closing </ref>
(see the
help page). (The whole article)
Since then, the Gaelic language has gradually diminished in most of Ireland and Scotland. The 19th century was the turning point as The Great Hunger in Ireland, and across the Irish Sea the Highland Clearances, caused mass emigration (leading to Anglicisation, but also a large diaspora). The language was rolled back to the Gaelic strongholds of the north west of Scotland, the west of Ireland and Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.
Which source does not support my edit? Did you check the sources or just delete them? If you believe one of my sources was not accurate can you quote which one, thanks.

Was just curious to see what you would do, the former edit made on here is not cited anywhere in the source added, I added the exact reference What would you consider constructive? So adding information most likely more accurate information about the topic is not constructive??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick Mcdermott25 ( talk • contribs)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at
Gaels, without citing a
reliable source. Please review the guidelines at
Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. In the main I have been leaving detailed edit summaries when certainly, after being familiar with your misrepresentation of sources, I could be saving myself a lot of time by blanket reversions. Read the summaries. You make edits then attach a source as a supposed ref when, almost exclusively, it says nothing to support your edit. If what you claim is in the source is not there, that's all I can say about. If you believe there is a passage in a reference that does support your edit, if nobody else can spot it, point it out to us; quote it. Do it succinctly too as your long incoherent rambles are impenetrable and it is a further imposition on others for us to try and pick through them.

Could you please only add information based on reliable sources to the article? Plain speculation, especially unsourced, should not be added to an encyclopedia. A neutral stance is also highly appreciated. The Banner talk 13:00, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Irish Americans, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages John Fitzgerald, Bruce Hart and Keith Hart. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
