In addition to all of your points, I'd also like to add that by making these remarks,

Just try to imagine a similar accusation, say, against other instances of civic, mostly progressive nationalism, e.g. SNP in Scotland. Not to mention the fact that the "ethnic stigma" bit is ridiculous.
And that by asserting

Hi Scolaire,
That section really exploded. I actually reverted the edit of another user who now seems on a mass edit change to the page. His edits had removed significant portions of Collins' biography with no explanation or defense.
I hadn't actually seen your name and reference correction, sorry it got caught up in that other editor's issues. I agree with your correction to the spelling and much more reliable source. To be fair to some other editors, Collins himself spelled it several different ways as Gaelic was just coming back into vogue. Regardless, I didn't mean to revert your edit specifically, thanks for pointing out that it was changed.

I didn't change my password because it is a strong password, I can remember it easily and nobody else could possibly know it.

Please repair your closure at
Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Ireland-related_articles#Irish translations of names for topics. Your flippant "discourage the indiscriminate addition of {{
lang-ga}}
templates to articles" doesn't summarize the discussion accurately and is very misleading. The conclusion was to not indiscriminately add Irish-language versions of terms and names, and only add them when they're likely to be encountered by users of English Wikipedia. That has nothing at all to do with lang templates. If the Irish version appears, it definitely should be templated so that the language metadata is correct. —

Hello Scolaire (you mention in your profile, no fada, so I'll go with that, with trepidation, no insult intended). I think you could be the right person to look at a citation for me (when you have a chance). It is citation No 15 on the Éire page. I'll try and paste the whole specific relevant section (no sure style/format wise, what to include on this to help and when it borders on "over helpful/stupid re links etc at this second I'm struggling to copy it so I hope mentioning above is OK from an etiquette perspective). So initially I felt the source was really a journalist stating an opinion and tried to edit/remove it on that basis. It was reinserted so I reconsidered it. So if the journalist was suggesting the use of Eire and not Éire was falling out of usage obscure etc that makes sense. So I word searched the document to check for usage of Éire (none) Eire two only, the page quoted and one about Saor Éire The Saor Eire result on the lack of correct spelling usage in the citation and as a result I now believe more surely the citation and quote are much weaker and much more likely to be a statement of opinion where it is actually being suggested that "Éire" is obscure and falling out of use. I do understand there may have been financial considerations at the time of printing fonts/type sets etc but I do personally think it is worth a look from a Scoláire 😉 I hope you don't mind me asking, I couldn't decide between you or Bastun and I thought better of asking you both. I can see that this might have been discussed before (is there a way for me to check that?) sorry if I appear to be some guy who likes having old arguments or lives to drag over the coals. I hope to impress people with time that this is the near unbridled enthusiasm of a noob. With the best of intentions and hoping to become a worth while contributor. All help greatly appreciated and please feel very free to refer me elsewhere if you think I'm barking up the wrong tree. Eimhin de Róiste ( talk) 05:45, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
Scolaire, Previously you made the sensible decision to remove nationality and citizenship in an info box in order to avoid a dispute. We agreed that such information is not needed in the info box were a more nuanced description is given in the lede in line with standard encyclopaedia style, especially where people get confused between nationality and citizenship, which are two different things. In the Beaufort article I fixed it a while back. Somebody had described him as having Irish nationality which didn't exist until the 20th century and British citizenship which didn't exist until 1983. It was wrong on both counts so I removed it. Somebody has reverted back again. I will fix it again. It should become a general policy to remove these terms in an info box where a dispute arises. Centuryofconfusion ( talk) 21:08, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
@ Centuryofconfusion: as you say, I removed nationality from the infobox of the Cecil Frances Alexander article in order to avoid a protracted dispute. I did think that the field was not necessary, but I never said or suggested that someone should go on a campaign to remove it from all infoboxes. I didn't agree, don't agree and will never agree that it is wrong or "unfair" to call Irish people Irish. You are not just confused about Irish nationality; you are plain wrong. Scolaire ( talk) 17:24, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
It should become a general policy to remove these terms in an info box where a dispute arises.I took that to mean that someone should go on a campaign to remove it from all infoboxes, especially since the dispute "arose", in this instance, from you changing an infobox that was stable for seven years. And yes, I intend to ignore everything you say at Talk:Francis Beaufort, since it's not my problem. All I did was to revert to the last stable version while the rest of you discuss it. Please don't bother to respond again; I will delete any further posts on this thread. Scolaire ( talk) 18:18, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
this RFC is currently host to what I feel is going to be the WP community shooting itself in the foot. Naomi Osaka has dual Japanese and American citizenship (and was raised and lives in America.)

Scolaire ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
I can only assume that I have been blocked for reverting Sennen goroshi's edits at Naomi Osaka. My reverts numbered FOUR in total over a FOUR-WEEK period: one on 29 May, one on 2 June and two on 15 June – with clear edit summaries – here and here. During the entire period I discussed the content on the talk page, and my two reverts were because he was reverting to his edit when the consensus on the talk page was against it. I will mention that there was one other editor involved in the discussion who also reverted Sennen goroshi's edit on a number of occasions. (And by the way, have a look at Sennen goroshi's idea of consensus here.) There seems to have been a glib assumption that Sennen goroshi was disruptive so "the other fellow" must be just as bad. I have edited Wikipedia for 14 years with a clean block record; to slap me with a one week block on the basis of two reverts is disgraceful. What is the point of a three-revert rule if an admin is going to block someone on a whim for two reverts, without any prior warning or even communication?? Nevertheless, I resolve to unwatch Naomi Osaka, never again to interact with Sennen goroshi, and to keep myself to a personal 1RR rule in future. That ought to be sufficient for an unblock. Scolaire ( talk) 18:08, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Yes, that more than suffices. Will consult with the blocking admin first, but otherwise, I am, indeed, inclined to grant this request. El_C 07:58, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
Done.
El_C 13:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
@ Nyttend: I am just stating again here for you and for the benefit of future readers that what you called a "slow edit-war" consisted of FOUR reverts in total over a FOUR-WEEK period. It's farcical and pointless having a three-revert rule (i.e. not more than three reverts in 24 hours) if an admin can decide on a whim that four reverts in four weeks is edit-warring and slap a one-week block on the editors without warning. I'm also copying for the record what No such user said at AN/I:
@ Jpgordon: I am just stating here for you and for the benefit of future readers that what Nyttend said in that AN/I thread shows that it was indeed "about four reverts in four weeks". For you to use innuendo to paint me as a persistent edit-warrior, when everybody who knows me knows that that is the opposite of the truth, is despicable. Scolaire ( talk) 09:18, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Someone just came through an article I created which I happened to be looking at. They changed a birth place from Ireland to United Kingdom and Ireland. While this is entirely correct since the birth was in 1918 it was the birth of a nationalist in a nationalist household. It started me wondering what exactly the rules for calling the country at the various times in its existence actually are... I know we will likely never get everyone to agree on nationality names... ☕ Antiqueight chatter 13:01, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
I take great exception to you describing my edits as 'a mess'. In both instances they were intended to improve the referencing - which they did. It is interesting to note that the only real improvement you made to the latter of my two edits was in respect of one reference (out of 11 in total). Your first edit largely reverted to a version that had mainly incomplete references. An apology would not go amiss. - Derek R Bullamore ( talk) 14:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Glad you're back, hope you're well. I was wondering if you could take a look at Charles Gavan_Duffy#An "Irish Mazzini" and see if you think it's acceptable writing? My feeling is that, despite repeated criticism from multiple editors including both of us, the unacceptable standard of writing is continuing. However it'd be best to get a second opinion first.

Thanks for adding that, I wasn't sure if it belonged in the article but thought it best to leave some information available if anyone else thought otherwise. As stated I couldn't find a reference that confirmed the reconvened Sinn Féin ard fheis pledged allegiance to the Provisional Army Council. Depending on what Mac Stíofáin actually said, I thought his speech had a touch of farce about it, since by pledging allegiance to the Provisional Army Council he was pledging allegiance to himself.

My reverts numbered FOUR in total over a FOUR-WEEK period: one on 29 May, one on 2 June and two on 15 June – with clear edit summaries – here and here. During the entire period I discussed the content on the talk page, and my two reverts were because he was reverting to his edit when the consensus on the talk page was against it. I will mention that there was one other editor involved in the discussion who also reverted Sennen goroshi's edit on a number of occasions. (And by the way, have a look at Sennen goroshi's idea of consensus here.) There seems to have been a glib assumption that Sennen goroshi was disruptive so "the other fellow" must be just as bad. I have edited Wikipedia for 14 years with a clean block record; to slap me with a one week block on the basis of two reverts is disgraceful. What is the point of a three-revert rule if an admin is going to block someone on a whim for two reverts, without any prior warning or even communication?? Nevertheless, I resolve to unwatch Naomi Osaka, never again to interact with Sennen goroshi, and to keep myself to a personal 1RR rule in future. That ought to be sufficient for an unblock.

Accept reason:
Yes, that more than suffices. Will consult with the blocking admin first, but otherwise, I am, indeed, inclined to grant this request. El_C 07:58, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
Done.

@ Nyttend: I am just stating again here for you and for the benefit of future readers that what you called a "slow edit-war" consisted of FOUR reverts in total over a FOUR-WEEK period. It's farcical and pointless having a three-revert rule (i.e. not more than three reverts in 24 hours) if an admin can decide on a whim that four reverts in four weeks is edit-warring and slap a one-week block on the editors without warning. I'm also copying for the record what No such user said at AN/I:
@ Jpgordon: I am just stating here for you and for the benefit of future readers that what Nyttend said in that AN/I thread shows that it was indeed "about four reverts in four weeks". For you to use innuendo to paint me as a persistent edit-warrior, when everybody who knows me knows that that is the opposite of the truth, is despicable. Scolaire ( talk) 09:18, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi Scolaire, thanks for your help on the Osaka page. I don't see why you got blocked, but I'm glad to see it was overturned. Sportsfan77777 ( talk) 05:40, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
On 23 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ernst Christoph Dressler, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ernst Christoph Dressler, an 18th-century operatic tenor, violinist, composer, and music theorist, composed a march on which Beethoven based his earliest published work? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ernst Christoph Dressler. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Ernst Christoph Dressler), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for quality articles such as Ernst Christoph Dressler, Konrad Schmid, Events of 6 October, beginning with L'amour est bleu and Ireland unfree shall never be at peace in 2006, for moves to names known and in sources, - Peter, lifelong pacifist, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
I just created Irische Legende, DYK? This is a prize from the cabal of the outcast, such as banned or unfairly blocked ;) - Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:04, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
Someone just came through an article I created which I happened to be looking at. They changed a birth place from Ireland to United Kingdom and Ireland. While this is entirely correct since the birth was in 1918 it was the birth of a nationalist in a nationalist household. It started me wondering what exactly the rules for calling the country at the various times in its existence actually are... I know we will likely never get everyone to agree on nationality names... ☕ Antiqueight chatter 13:01, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
I take great exception to you describing my edits as 'a mess'. In both instances they were intended to improve the referencing - which they did. It is interesting to note that the only real improvement you made to the latter of my two edits was in respect of one reference (out of 11 in total). Your first edit largely reverted to a version that had mainly incomplete references. An apology would not go amiss. - Derek R Bullamore ( talk) 14:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for implementing my suggestion. I've had an account for a long time but only recently active (thanks Covid!), still learning the ropes. I appreciate your interactions and collaboration. Retswerb ( talk) 00:28, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
Glad you're back, hope you're well. I was wondering if you could take a look at Charles Gavan_Duffy#An "Irish Mazzini" and see if you think it's acceptable writing? My feeling is that, despite repeated criticism from multiple editors including both of us, the unacceptable standard of writing is continuing. However it'd be best to get a second opinion first. Thanks. FDW777 ( talk) 14:07, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Scolaire Im pretty new to creating articles and I wonder if you might take a look at Draft Patrick McGrath (Irish Republican) which I submitted .several months ago. I appreciate any help/advice you might offer. Thanks, Palisades1 ( talk) 18:05, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for adding that, I wasn't sure if it belonged in the article but thought it best to leave some information available if anyone else thought otherwise. As stated I couldn't find a reference that confirmed the reconvened Sinn Féin ard fheis pledged allegiance to the Provisional Army Council. Depending on what Mac Stíofáin actually said, I thought his speech had a touch of farce about it, since by pledging allegiance to the Provisional Army Council he was pledging allegiance to himself. I have finally managed to obtain a sensibly priced copy of his book which is currently on its way across the Atlantic, I might be able to find out what he actually said when it arrives.

On 10 November 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Maureen Cleave, which you created. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Step hen 01:23, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
Just thought I would let you know as you mentioned this in the talk page of the article -I have removed the sentence about the relationship between conor Clune and the archbishop. This was shown to be wrong in a TG4 programme tonight called Sagairt na Síochána. Also removed it from the archbishop's page Aineireland ( talk) 23:44, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
