Hello Sarah,
YOU have literally copied my text from Fore Abbey to Fore County Westmeath, which is in any case, is one of the same. Take it from a local.
Best regards,
Gav (as you call me). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavigan 01 ( talk • contribs) 11:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
ps I call you Gav because it sounds less formal than Gavigan; but I will call you Mr Gavigan if it offends you. ( Sarah777 11:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC))
I've come across many articles which have no Irish translation and I've had trouble finding the Gaeilge for them. I'm taking note of the articles in Windows Notepad, but it's not ideal. Is there any way I can add these articles to a category so I can come back to them later? What do you recommend? Wiki01916 15:16, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Per your revert, you really think that interior picture is better? Besides being in color, mine is more than 10 times higher resolution. It's also taken from quite a bit further back, giving more detail (I took one from about the same place as the B&W one but it came out blurry and useless). I could crop out the bottom if you think that would help (I have a lossless cropping/rotating tool). — Wknight94 ( talk) 23:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
OK. Don't really like the B&W artiness but that is pure pov; it is the composition rather than the resolution or colour; the totally symmetrical view. But I think yours is rather good too so if you feel strongly I won't impose my ideas. I'm just thinking of the other photographers reaction; as someone who puts up[ a lot of photos I get bugged when one is replaced if the replacement isn't obviously and clearly better. See what you can do with your cropping - it certainly isn't a bad picture and no offence intended. Regards ( Sarah777 23:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC))
Despite the diseased trees I like this photo (left), which now does link to a Wikipage which is read by thousands of people every day.

"Hurried forward by the agency of steam, the astonished passenger glides, like Asmodeus, over the summits of the houses and streets of our city — presently is transported through green fields and tufts of trees — then skims across the surface of the sea, and taking shelter under the cliffs, coasts among the marine villas, and through rocky excavations, until he finds himself in the centre of a vast port, which unites in pleasing confusion the bustle of a commercial town with the amusements of a fashionable watering resort."

Hi Sarah! Do you happen to have any images of Market Houses in Ireland? I need them for "my" pages: Market Houses in Northern Ireland & Market Houses in the Republic of Ireland. Any help would be appreciated Peter Clarke 09:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC) p.s.

Hi Sarah. The painting I took out as spam was uploaded by LongZ ( talk · contribs) a.k.a. Olivier Longuet. I first came across a painting that he uploaded in Connemara [4] where he put his painting at the top of the article, moving 4 photographs down the page in the process. I took a look at his contributions and saw that he had also added his paintings to Salthill [5], pub session [6], Galway Hooker [7], Surf art [8], Irish traditional music session [9], and Roundstone, County Galway [10]. Most of the paintings had the caption "by Olivier Longuet", and he also added external links to a website where his paintings could be bought eg [11] and [12]. My view was that User:LongZ put his paintings in the articles to promote his artwork, so I took out all of them except the one in Surf art, which might be encyclopaedic. I called it spam because I was also taking linkspam out of articles last night, and I thought that the paintings were the same kind of self-promotional spam. If you think any of the paintings should remain in the articles, I'll put them back in. All the best, Bláthnaid 21:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Three apparently random images were deleted from apparently unrelated articles by a Bot on 26th October. Anyone got any idea why? (Licence was fine). Bot says "Removing deleted image" but the article record shows no prior deletion and the history of the image disappears completely along with the image.
Whar are you Doing ????
Your photographs as lovely as they are... are disposed very poorly, as they partly obliterate the associated Headers and texts. You persist to di-pose images without revising the consequences of your acts with other Video monitor dimentions. Keep up the good work exercising particular care and consideration to technical display restrictions from other display screens other than your display.

If you seek balance, you must first establish verifiable notability for a derogation from what is normal. Verify a decent and proper source (see WP:V) that shows three constituent countries to be common enough to be notable, and then we can consider inclusion.

Sarah, coming out from a few conversations with others, I've created a Gaeilge task force to coordinate translations of Irish place names and other Irish-language related work. Since you are the queen of Irish geography (and since you seem to have taken interest in the topic over on IMOS), maybe you could add your name to the list of participants? I'm sure the usual Sarah gusto will blow the cobwebs of any lingering untranslatables. I don't think a massive knowledge of Irish is necessary, just a good spirit and a dictionary. You might want to also drop a line on the talk page so that we can all "get to know eachother" as the man might say. -- sony-youth pléigh 15:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sarah, (my co-defendant) I think my talk page skills have improved a lot, and I don’t even feel the need to bite my lip. At least things are now moving on the article, material being added, and referenced. All good. I now feel I’m above all that petty snivelling backstabbing childness of the past and am starting to enjoy Wikipedia. I particularly try to think better of people. You must admit I’ve come a long way. Wonderful to talk again. -- Domer48 22:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Howdy Sarah. I see that you downgraded Development and preservation in Dublin from a B-class to a Stub-class when your complaint was with it being POV. Why not tag the it as POV? While I basically agree with you, it is definitely more than a stub (a short article of a few sentences but you know that) and this is, for sure, more than that. Even if you don't like it, Start-class would be more accurate.

Hi Sarah777
I noticed that you have an interest in Irish geography, and wondered whether you might be able to help clear something up for me. My question concerns whether or not there is a place in County Sligo called Derry. According to the Derry (disambiguation) page, there is, but when I then added it to the list of towns and villages in the County Sligo article, someone removed it after a couple of days saying that the place does not exist. However, I have since found reference to a Derry on a map at this website. Please could you advise?
Many thanks 81.152.144.209 12:42, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

You see that I replaced the Mukaradeeb wedding party massacre on the List of massacres. It actually has an article in WP already. If you pull some of those sources in I think it makes a stronger entry. I am not opposed to having legitimate U.S. massacres on the list, but I recommend presenting less anti-American attitude if want help, instead of resistance. Collect legitimate sources first. Events like Haditha and Srebrenica are all over the major Western news sources and television networks. Left-wing anti-war blogs and agenda driven editorials are not a good starting place. If you have to scrape bottom barrel .org sites, then perhaps an event should not be included on the list. If an event dose not have an article on WP already, perhaps it shouldn't be on the list at all.-- Knulclunk ( talk) 20:55, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
For the record - my addition of Fallajuh was instantly twice reverted though all the "Muslim massacres" are left sitting there with no references at all. When I pointed that out I was told by the reverter that my source was "a joke" and this was endorsed by User:Swatjester who said it was unacceptable. So I added that the unacceptable site was actually quoting from The Guardian newspaper to be told that this was a "biased source". So, in summary -
And that, Your Honour, is the wacky Wiki recipe for "NEUTRAL POINT OF VIEW" ( Sarah777 ( talk) 11:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC))

Hi. You'll find it here.
The decision is completely illogical nonsense - but I'm still bound to curtail my freedom of expression based on it. This is the bit you'll be interested in: Sarah777 engaged in original research 2) Sarah777 ( talk · contribs) engaged in original research on Great Irish Famine over the usage of the term " genocide."

My argument that the famine met the current UN definition of famine was not disputed - but rather was dismissed as "synthesis" and hence "original research". ( Sarah777 ( talk) 20:14, 22 November 2007 (UTC))

Hi, Sarah. Thanks for supporting my suggested page move (Ballynacarrigy --> Ballynacargy)... and putting it into effect. It looks from the page history, though, and because the Talk page content was lost in the renaming, that you didn't use the normal "move" function. See ( Help:Moving a page). Have now copied over the Talk content manually. Being no techie myself, I apologize in advance if I'm teaching anyone how to suck eggs :-) -- Picapica ( talk) 09:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for that, ww2censor. I still hold to the view, nevertheless, that the move was correct given usage "on the ground". Your "pre-1975 Irish Language Commission" reference confirms me in my view that Ballinacarrigy is more the result of linguistic correctness than of any reflection of the name "as she is spoke". -- Picapica ( talk) 20:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I feel a bit odd saying this, as I seem to sit on the same side of the table as you with respect to Giano's candidacy. But I am uncomfortable with some of the comments you are adding to the talk page of his vote. While we may not agree with the behaviour of other editors, or the reasons they've used to make their voting decisions, they do have the right to their own opinions. Giano has been (perhaps remarkably) very restrained in his response to the votes received, and I am not certain it serves him well that opponents are being challenged essentially at the ballot box. Would you consider refactoring some of your comments, or at least making further commentary on the talk page of the individual involved? Best, Risker ( talk) 14:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Though flattered, I'm no admin - just a volunteer election official person. So anything an admin might decide about the box will trump anything I could tell you. However, strictly in terms of the election - anyone can vote as they wish, so long as they have suffrage, and add a link to their user or talk page with a further (possibly lengthy) explaination of why they voted as they voted. I interpret your "I voted for Giano box" as such a statement. The fact that it happens to be at the top of your talk page is not relevant - the key is that you are not telling other users to how to vote, or attempting to drum up support for a candidate from users who would not otherwise vote. In other words, a statement on your talk page is not canvassing, unless you push it on others in manners prohibited by policy. So, you're probably OK.

I should look at the contributor as well as the article before I do a speedy. You recently added a new page with an Irish title. (I am sorry; I should have done a cut-and-paste on it so that I could make the right connection here.) On the page were two photos and a lot of what appeared to be coding of some sort. I marked it as a speedy because, in English, it was undecipherable and apparently unnconnected with anything. You might want to take a look at it, and let me know what I should have done. Bielle ( talk) 23:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Now I have found the article ( Sliabh na Caillí) and it would appear that the coding was meant to be (and now is)infoboxes. At the risk of asking a sensitive question, does the title of the article have an Eglish translation. (I am not trying to be rude, but en.wikipedia usually uses translated names.) {Perhaps there isn't one.

Thanks for uploading Image:OCDuallaSign 031c.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

Well indeed it might, Sarah a chara, but -- in the original spirit of what I call "Wiki-constructive-anarchism" -- I feel I must do my bit to counter the forces of uniformism... The "standard" infobox is all well and good, but I find the "map on table legs" ugly and the "hunt the pale green circle" tiresome. Experience has taught me that resistance to uniformism may indeed be, in the short term, futile (especially when the uniformists come equipped with all kinds of multi {{{ }}} curly-bracketed techno-transclusions, as I think they're called) -- but in the spirit of 1916 I will persist for now in adding republican location maps where maps are currently absent. I am not so revolutionary as to insist on replacing already existing maps: though that may inevitably follow once the shooting of volunteers starts... -- Picapica ( talk) 21:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Dare to say it, Sarah!
I'm not (all that) against infoboxes as such (anal-retentive alarms notwithstanding) -- it's just that I'd hope they could, mapwise at least in the case of Ireland, be improved... but you must be prepared to don some extremely thick personal-attack-proof armour should you ever want to try anything head-on against the techie/uniformists.
I'd be ready, though, to argue for synthesis in the form of an infobox-with-better-map.

your edit changed the word "prevention" to "relief", please give an account of your sources to back up this change. the meeting held in Gaulstown mentioned "famine prevention" and not relief. please do not amend text to suit popular image without prior authentication. famine prevention means to prevent famine whereas relief means to relive victims already suffering famine, two totally different things wouldnt you agree.
So far I've been reverted without comment and accused of calling this user a troll all for refusing to permit an entry supported entirely by POV-pushing sources.

Ok, it's nearly 2am here, so bear with me. I'm willing to unblock here, as the block was arguably done outside of process. It was done in good faith, IMO - RK meant well - and you were edit warring. If you undertake not to edit that article for the next 31 hours, in deference to what's gone on there tonight - you were edit-warring there and a number of admins have declined so I'm sticking my neck out - then I will unblock. Deal? - Alison ❤ 09:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
I think the block should be unconditional, the block was wrong according to our policies. That is, the admin was involved in the article. It sends out all the wrong messages, an admin can block an editor they are in a dispute with, against policy, and have no action taken against them, while the editor is blocked regardless. -- Domer48 ( talk) 09:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. I am the original creator of the article for Dromore Castle, which you rated as start class back in September, which I think is quite reasonable - I'd be keen to improve it, and so I was wondering what kind of thing you'd be looking for in order to see it rise higher than that? It was rated start class for the architecture project by another user a few days ago, but as of yet, they have not responded to my request for feedback, so I thought I'd have a go asking you! Thanks, Robotforaday ( talk) 21:39, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Ali now that I have cooled down a bit - and stayed well away from "the list". But this can't be the end of the affair; I do not accept I was edit warring; and I do not accept the block was made in good faith. Read the history of this article; there is a long history of cooperative editing by a certain group to keep certain types of massacre off the list. This is the second time this year that I have been blocked by an Admin involved in a personal dispute. I think Rklawton must resign his Adminship or be relieved of it as he is manifestly not fit for the job. What is the procedure for removing him? ( Sarah777 ( talk) 16:35, 22 December 2007 (UTC))

I've come across many articles which have no Irish translation and I've had trouble finding the Gaeilge for them. I'm taking note of the articles in Windows Notepad, but it's not ideal.

Per your revert, you really think that interior picture is better? Besides being in color, mine is more than 10 times higher resolution. It's also taken from quite a bit further back, giving more detail (I took one from about the same place as the B&W one but it came out blurry and useless). I could crop out the bottom if you think that would help (I have a lossless cropping/rotating tool). — Wknight94 ( talk) 23:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
OK. Don't really like the B&W artiness but that is pure pov; it is the composition rather than the resolution or colour; the totally symmetrical view. But I think yours is rather good too so if you feel strongly I won't impose my ideas. I'm just thinking of the other photographers reaction; as someone who puts up[ a lot of photos I get bugged when one is replaced if the replacement isn't obviously and clearly better. See what you can do with your cropping - it certainly isn't a bad picture and no offence intended. Regards ( Sarah777 23:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC))

Hi Sarah. The painting I took out as spam was uploaded by LongZ ( talk · contribs) a.k.a. Olivier Longuet. I first came across a painting that he uploaded in Connemara [4] where he put his painting at the top of the article, moving 4 photographs down the page in the process. I took a look at his contributions and saw that he had also added his paintings to Salthill [5], pub session [6], Galway Hooker [7], Surf art [8], Irish traditional music session [9], and Roundstone, County Galway [10]. Most of the paintings had the caption "by Olivier Longuet", and he also added external links to a website where his paintings could be bought eg [11] and [12]. My view was that User:LongZ put his paintings in the articles to promote his artwork, so I took out all of them except the one in Surf art, which might be encyclopaedic. I called it spam because I was also taking linkspam out of articles last night, and I thought that the paintings were the same kind of self-promotional spam. If you think any of the paintings should remain in the articles, I'll put them back in. All the best, Bláthnaid 21:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Sarah, coming out from a few conversations with others, I've created a Gaeilge task force to coordinate translations of Irish place names and other Irish-language related work.

Howdy Sarah. I see that you downgraded Development and preservation in Dublin from a B-class to a Stub-class when your complaint was with it being POV. Why not tag the it as POV? While I basically agree with you, it is definitely more than a stub (a short article of a few sentences but you know that) and this is, for sure, more than that.

Hi Sarah777
I noticed that you have an interest in Irish geography, and wondered whether you might be able to help clear something up for me. My question concerns whether or not there is a place in County Sligo called Derry. According to the Derry (disambiguation) page, there is, but when I then added it to the list of towns and villages in the County Sligo article, someone removed it after a couple of days saying that the place does not exist. However, I have since found reference to a Derry on a map at this website. Please could you advise?
Many thanks 81.152.144.209 12:42, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

You see that I replaced the Mukaradeeb wedding party massacre on the List of massacres. It actually has an article in WP already. If you pull some of those sources in I think it makes a stronger entry. I am not opposed to having legitimate U.S. massacres on the list, but I recommend presenting less anti-American attitude if want help, instead of resistance. Collect legitimate sources first. Events like Haditha and Srebrenica are all over the major Western news sources and television networks. Left-wing anti-war blogs and agenda driven editorials are not a good starting place. If you have to scrape bottom barrel .org sites, then perhaps an event should not be included on the list. If an event dose not have an article on WP already, perhaps it shouldn't be on the list at all.-- Knulclunk ( talk) 20:55, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
For the record - my addition of Fallajuh was instantly twice reverted though all the "Muslim massacres" are left sitting there with no references at all. When I pointed that out I was told by the reverter that my source was "a joke" and this was endorsed by User:Swatjester who said it was unacceptable. So I added that the unacceptable site was actually quoting from The Guardian newspaper to be told that this was a "biased source". So, in summary -
And that, Your Honour, is the wacky Wiki recipe for "NEUTRAL POINT OF VIEW" ( Sarah777 ( talk) 11:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC))

Hi, Sarah. Thanks for supporting my suggested page move (Ballynacarrigy --> Ballynacargy)... and putting it into effect.

I feel a bit odd saying this, as I seem to sit on the same side of the table as you with respect to Giano's candidacy. But I am uncomfortable with some of the comments you are adding to the talk page of his vote. While we may not agree with the behaviour of other editors, or the reasons they've used to make their voting decisions, they do have the right to their own opinions. Giano has been (perhaps remarkably) very restrained in his response to the votes received, and I am not certain it serves him well that opponents are being challenged essentially at the ballot box. Would you consider refactoring some of your comments, or at least making further commentary on the talk page of the individual involved? Best, Risker ( talk) 14:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Though flattered, I'm no admin - just a volunteer election official person. So anything an admin might decide about the box will trump anything I could tell you. However, strictly in terms of the election - anyone can vote as they wish, so long as they have suffrage, and add a link to their user or talk page with a further (possibly lengthy) explaination of why they voted as they voted. I interpret your "I voted for Giano box" as such a statement. The fact that it happens to be at the top of your talk page is not relevant - the key is that you are not telling other users to how to vote, or attempting to drum up support for a candidate from users who would not otherwise vote. In other words, a statement on your talk page is not canvassing, unless you push it on others in manners prohibited by policy. So, you're probably OK.

I should look at the contributor as well as the article before I do a speedy. You recently added a new page with an Irish title.

Well indeed it might, Sarah a chara, but -- in the original spirit of what I call "Wiki-constructive-anarchism" -- I feel I must do my bit to counter the forces of uniformism... The "standard" infobox is all well and good, but I find the "map on table legs" ugly and the "hunt the pale green circle" tiresome. Experience has taught me that resistance to uniformism may indeed be, in the short term, futile (especially when the uniformists come equipped with all kinds of multi {{{ }}} curly-bracketed techno-transclusions, as I think they're called) -- but in the spirit of 1916 I will persist for now in adding republican location maps where maps are currently absent. I am not so revolutionary as to insist on replacing already existing maps: though that may inevitably follow once the shooting of volunteers starts... -- Picapica ( talk) 21:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Dare to say it, Sarah!
I'm not (all that) against infoboxes as such (anal-retentive alarms notwithstanding) -- it's just that I'd hope they could, mapwise at least in the case of Ireland, be improved... but you must be prepared to don some extremely thick personal-attack-proof armour should you ever want to try anything head-on against the techie/uniformists.
I'd be ready, though, to argue for synthesis in the form of an infobox-with-better-map.

As a result of all these factors, you are now blocked from editing. Rklawton ( talk) 06:49, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't think a block is warranted for RK. Lara ❤ Love 08:02, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
(outdent)I decline to unblock. I've already criticised Rklawton for blocking someone he was in conflict with, but you did continue to revert, which you know you're not allowed to do. If it takes this for you to learn that edit-warring is not allowed, then so be it. I'll leave your template up as I know this is being discussed centrally. You really need to learn from this, whatever happens. -- John ( talk) 08:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Ok, it's nearly 2am here, so bear with me. I'm willing to unblock here, as the block was arguably done outside of process. It was done in good faith, IMO - RK meant well - and you were edit warring. If you undertake not to edit that article for the next 31 hours, in deference to what's gone on there tonight - you were edit-warring there and a number of admins have declined so I'm sticking my neck out - then I will unblock. Deal? - Alison ❤ 09:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
I think the block should be unconditional, the block was wrong according to our policies. That is, the admin was involved in the article. It sends out all the wrong messages, an admin can block an editor they are in a dispute with, against policy, and have no action taken against them, while the editor is blocked regardless. -- Domer48 ( talk) 09:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
I would agree. -- Domer48 ( talk) 10:29, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
11am here;) Night night. -- Domer48 ( talk) 10:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Done. I added the talk page because it's a fairly common stricture in cases like these. Daniel Case ( talk) 02:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Take a look, I think for a first try it's looking pretty damn perfect! (In case you're wondering, this would be my specialised Irish-only version.) Schcambo ( talk) 15:04, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Nice one Sarah, I never even got a hearing. -- Domer48 ( talk) 19:17, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello there. I am the original creator of the article for Dromore Castle, which you rated as start class back in September, which I think is quite reasonable - I'd be keen to improve it, and so I was wondering what kind of thing you'd be looking for in order to see it rise higher than that? It was rated start class for the architecture project by another user a few days ago, but as of yet, they have not responded to my request for feedback, so I thought I'd have a go asking you! Thanks, Robotforaday ( talk) 21:39, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Ali now that I have cooled down a bit - and stayed well away from "the list". But this can't be the end of the affair; I do not accept I was edit warring; and I do not accept the block was made in good faith. Read the history of this article; there is a long history of cooperative editing by a certain group to keep certain types of massacre off the list. This is the second time this year that I have been blocked by an Admin involved in a personal dispute. I think Rklawton must resign his Adminship or be relieved of it as he is manifestly not fit for the job. What is the procedure for removing him? ( Sarah777 ( talk) 16:35, 22 December 2007 (UTC))
