Hi, I see you left a red link at British Isles (Roman conquest of Britain). Is this a forerunner to a new article/renaming or does it need correcting? LemonMonday Talk 19:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Rann, In checking the history of this article I noticed you put in the references with bolding about the issue of NI being a country or not [1]. Would you consider unbolding the partial quotes? On glancing through the references all you see is the assertion the NI is not a country. To me this is not really acceptable, since the text is not (I assume) bolded in the originals. I think there's a bit of over-referencing here as well. LemonMonday Talk 19:56, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
As soon as I'd written "Éireann" I realised that it should have been Éire. Anyway, I'm not convinced that Seanad Éireann and Dáil Éireann are proper precedents.

Thanks for your work on that portrait. I agree with you about the frame: best to have removed it. I just wondered if it could be tweaked a little. Some of the detail seems to have been lost. (One can see the loss, for instance, in the lettering in the upper left hand corner of the painting.) In any case, just wondered if it be tweaked just a tad? In any case, thanks for your efforts.

On number three RA? There is no consensus for this part of the footnote that I can see, as I pointed out to Ghmyrtle when I undid his revert of mine claiming it. This claim within the UK footnote is a total and utter disgrace. An author saying something polemical and controversial (in itself for pete's sake) in a 'Reliable Source' somewhere does not mean you can simply 'transform' it into a plainly-written 'fact' - whether "can" is used within it or not. Reliable Sources do not HAVE to be used, and they do NOT equal facts. When will you let NI live in peace you guys? I despair, I really do. This is the footnote within the United Kindgom introduction and it's not even a properly verifiable comment - it's just a sectarian twist on the lack of 'official' status of the various terms (country, province, whatever). Wikipedia needs to clean-out the outrageous attempts to append the Troubles onto every mention of Northern Ireland once and for all. It's not always even the content for me - it's the constant dissemination of the theme. And sovereignty MUST come first - nationalism cannot have 'even weight' to it.

I reverted you at British Isles partly because I think we should get agreement at the Terminology article first, but also because I don't see many people positively liking your diagram.

First, congratulations on your RfA. You did an excellent job and it shows. But what I really came here for was to thank you. I read Wikipedia:IPs are human too many years ago when I was editing as an IP. I rediscovered it shortly after creating an account here last year. Your essay captures the essence of what makes Wikipedia successful. Every helpful contribution, no matter where it comes from, makes Wikipedia better. All of these contributions added together give us the Wikipedia we know today. This means we should encorage contributions from IPs as well as registered users as all of it helps our project. Your essay helps people understand this fundamental fact, that Wikipedia isn't just helped by registered users, it's helped by everybody. I thank you kindly for writing the essay. I must say I'm really very pleased your RfA was a success as I believe your viewpoint, applied to the administrative side of things, will help the project greatly. Thanks for everything.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ankita Bakshi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ankita Bakshi until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Sp33dyphil " Ad astra" 09:56, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

In the last few weeks, several people have complained to me that I archive too readily, and create too many archive pages. So I've been going around my old archives and condensing them. All the information is still there, but it's on 8 archvies instead of 13. Unfortunately, due to the current setup on Talk:Pluto, I can't get rid of the excess archives without deleting them. And I don't have the authority to delete them. Serendi pod ous 07:51, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. I do not understand why the original page was deleted when the main template was moved in the first place. At least the fact that there were double redirects would have raised red flags.— Ryulong ( 竜龙) 21:50, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Would you mind doing another one of these for the page Himitsu Sentai Gorenger?

Hello
On 04/01/2012 you tagged the article "Grepolis" for speedy deletion and it was deleted almost immediately. I strongly believe that A7 is not applicable for this case, since the mentioned article is as important (or unimportant) as the Travian, Freeciv.net, Evony or any other game from the List_of_multiplayer_browser_games. With the logic every article from List_of_multiplayer_browser_games should be given A7 and deleted. - LevanJugheli ( talk) 06:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
A7: An article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization (for example, a band, club, or company, not including educational institutions), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

I dont dispute that this article is salvageable but could you remove the versions with the copyvio please?-- RadioFan ( talk) 13:23, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
While I dont expect each administrator to be perfect, I am a bit surprised to learn of an administrator that is unaware of Wikipedia:Revision deletion.-- RadioFan ( talk) 14:37, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Done. Thanks to 28bytes who pointed to a similar case. -- RA ( talk) 18:05, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ankita Bakshi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ankita Bakshi until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Sp33dyphil " Ad astra" 09:56, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
I didn't know about the Display method, 'til now. Darn good executive thinking, RA. GoodDay ( talk) 12:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi, since when it is acceptable to take another person's comments in a debate as a reliable reference for BLP? No matter what Norris says, this statement cannot be used as a reliable reference for Higgins' religion. At best, all you can say is that according David Norris, Higgins is a catholic, nothing more. We need to have info from a reliable source before that kind of information can be included as per WP:BLP. Snappy ( talk) 20:51, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, RA, it's really appreciated. You've always been something of an inspiration on here for not letting personal beliefs get in the way of neutral editing, so it's nice to receive a star from you. JonC Talk 06:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Whilst i don't always agree with you (hardly ever maybe), you have always done your best to be collaborative, and open-minded to opposing opinions on thorny issues and willing to work towards a compromise that suits all involved - even when the discussion has gotten quite heated. Our greatest achievement collaborating with each other has to be MOS:IE#Other_names, which has worked out amazingly. Mabuska (talk) 19:53, 4 October 2011 (UTC) |
Hello. I removed the Sindo/Quantum "poll" as they don't seem to be conducted by a reliable agency. See the discussion at: Talk:Irish_presidential_election,_2011#Quantum.2FSunday_Independent_polls. Incidentally, I emailed the newspaper a couple of weeks ago asking them who or what Quantum Research are and they haven't bothered answering. Lozleader ( talk) 08:44, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Seeing as you're online now, reporting this here is quicker than AN/I. User 82.18.191.248 is adding Irish versions of names, uncited, to loads of articles right now in breach of the IMOS guidelines. Ignored a message I left on their talk page. Can you block? Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 11:58, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
I just wanted to bring to your attention and other editors that Mabuska, Jon and Goodday (and the usual suspects) are refusing to change this author's nationality from British even though he was born in Ireland and claims that was Irish, they refuse to engage in consensus, even for not even mentioning nationality, could you and the others help intervene. Sheodred tried to help but he was harrassed and accused of being a socket as a diversion to the POV pushing of other editors. 93.107.209.165 ( talk) 17:57, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
In relation to CS Lewis. I must concede to your point about showing England, Scotland, Northern Ireland & Wales in the British bio infoboxes. Afterall, the American bio infoboxes use their states & the Canadian bio infoboxes use their provinces, territories. GoodDay ( talk) 22:43, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Only seeing now that you have been given the mop, best of luck with it. Mo ainm ~Talk 23:05, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Congrats, on getting the Administrators hat. GoodDay ( talk) 03:45, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
In the last few weeks, several people have complained to me that I archive too readily, and create too many archive pages. So I've been going around my old archives and condensing them. All the information is still there, but it's on 8 archvies instead of 13. Unfortunately, due to the current setup on Talk:Pluto, I can't get rid of the excess archives without deleting them. And I don't have the authority to delete them. Serendi pod ous 07:51, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. I do not understand why the original page was deleted when the main template was moved in the first place. At least the fact that there were double redirects would have raised red flags.— Ryulong ( 竜龙) 21:50, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Although, why did you make a new template at Template:Editnotices/Page/Kamen Rider OOO (character) when making it a redirect would have been just as easy?— Ryulong ( 竜龙) 21:52, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Would you mind doing another one of these for the page Himitsu Sentai Gorenger? We have issues with the fandom's preferred spelling ("Goranger") and the official spelling provided by the production company within the past 5 years ("Gorenger"). Things really got bad tonight when someone went through the page and replaced every instance of "Goren" with "Goran", even when one instance was in the romanization.— Ryulong ( 竜龙) 00:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
File talk:Traditional Irish halloween Jack-o'-lantern.jpg - and it's a good one. Since you took the photo, I thought maybe you'd know the answer. (Please answer on the talk page!) DS ( talk) 14:53, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Are you the anon that was on the donate banner at the top? I won't tell anyone. I must know...it's driving me crazy.

Hello
On 04/01/2012 you tagged the article "Grepolis" for speedy deletion and it was deleted almost immediately. I strongly believe that A7 is not applicable for this case, since the mentioned article is as important (or unimportant) as the Travian, Freeciv.net, Evony or any other game from the List_of_multiplayer_browser_games. With the logic every article from List_of_multiplayer_browser_games should be given A7 and deleted. - LevanJugheli ( talk) 06:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
A7: An article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization (for example, a band, club, or company, not including educational institutions), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.
