You requested the following speedy category renaming:
Sadly, this is not a change that can be done under the speedy process; it's an acronym expansion, but not a country one. You'll need to put it through the normal CfD process. Sorry. JesseW, the juggling janitor 23:33, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Some advice from a much older person -- POV is in the eye of the beholder -- do not allow yourself to be manipulated by censors like Demiurge, etc. even with accusations re sockpuppets, which, even if they exist, are expressly not prohibited by Wikipedia, unless they've changed the rules, or "vandal", a subjective term used by Demiurge or whomever to shut someone up that they don't agree with.
And don't waste your time threatening me with 3rr; it won't stop me from telling the truth about the Irish in Scotland, Britain or anywhere else.

Boothy443- Eamon de Valera is not Eamon de Valera in Spanish (es), Cymraeg/Welsh (cy) and other languages, that's why I deleted them. Aren't accuracy and correctness supposed to count for something??
Brandubh Blathmac 09:58, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
If no articles existed at the changed links, then why was it necessary to rv??
Also, your calling me a bigot is a badge of honour for me b/c that is what the Irish always call anyone who disagrees with them or who dares to criticize them or show their ugly and brutal history. It's a good tactic, used by the likes of Cardinal Spellman (the American Pope), among others to silence critics, but that is just soooo 20th century. This is the 21st century.
What is more I don't feel like being criticized by someone who was brought up on arbitration and been deemed guilty by his peers of:
a) edit warring b) violations of 3RR. c) alienation with Wikipedia's administrative structure and dispute resolution d) [f] ailure ... to participate in dispute resolution in good faith

I noticed you made this edit. Would you care to make a statement at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#SqueakBox and Zapatancas, SqueakBox 13:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I don't blame you. Arbcom is not the sort of place I would have chosen to go no matter how much of a case I might have thought I had. Your edits talking to Zapatancas are in there anyway and as I wasn't really involved in your interaction with Zapatancas I won't be commenting on it myself.

For Philly neighborhoods, I've been consulting and citing this reference, which seems pretty authoritative: http://www.phila.gov/phils/Docs/otherinfo/pname1.htm Gee, we sure have a lot of neighborhoods! But, it doesn't always give a good definition of the limits of a neighborhood. Here's a site that's good for historical place names (topographical maps c. 1900): http://historical.maptech.com/ That's where I got "Harrisburg" (see SE part of "Germantown" quad). Wooden Bridge Run is unnamed. Sandy Run and most tributaries of the Poquessing (see SW part of "Burlington" quad) do have names. I grew up in Torresdale near Holy Family College, never heard of nearby Ashton-Woodenbridge (Ashton Road, Woodenbridge Apts., OK, but I just considered that part of Torresdale). This site: http://www.philaplanning.org/data/boundaries.pdf just calls it "Ashton Vicinity".--BillFlis 15:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I know it's been a while, but I've officially thrown my hat into the ring. I'm working on cleaning up the main page before it balloons any further. Also wondering about the Philly Portal: Does anyone formally run this or have say over it? I see a lot of potential here. My job's been killing me enough; this could be a nice distraction in the off hours. --Pastricide! Non-absorbing 18:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I reverted to a previous version by the IP Author. He seems to have added a lot of good information, then changed it all for a skewed POV view, which has no basis (the same reason was made months ago and removed for the same reason). So, I'm just giving you a heads up on what I did, and you're right: that last edit didn't sound right. --MPD01605 04:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that's a strange one. Dunno what happened, thanks for fixing it anyway Jdorney 09:23, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey Boothy, I don't have any objection to your plan. As long as you don't mind doing the work, go right ahead :). --Jfruh 14:06, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I've just picked up a revert on a recent edit in which a beer was moved into a brewery. This is an ongoing (and almost complete) procedure which is taking place on all isolated beers. If you feel there is a case for keeping beers brewed by a brewery apart from the brewery itself it might be worth your while bringing the matter up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Beer for discussion. SilkTork 18:02, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi again. The merging of beer brands into brand holders or breweries is a process that has been taking place for a while now by various members of the Wiki beer project. Your activity is against the trend. Please, if you feel that the process is wrong either in an individual case, or as a general policy, then raise the issue on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Beer to get consensus. Your revertions at this point might be considered vandalism. I will, again, undo what you have done. Please do not revert again until the matter has been discussed and resolved. If, after discussion, it is felt that your view is the proper one, then there will be no conflict - at the moment we have conflict. I hope you will do the right thing and move toward avoiding conflict rather than getting into a revert war. Cheers. SilkTork 07:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I see you've been reverting Devin79's pov edits. Any chance you could do the same here. I have browser issues etc Jdorney 21:09, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Had a look at the section. The paragraph seems to concentrate on cartoons, which seems to be a bit trivial to me, although highly visible. Certainly, in the 19th century the Irish in America werre disliked as dirty, violent and Catholic (Protestantism was big part of American identity at the time). The Klu Klux Klan was very anti-Irish at this time, there were also several "nativist" societies who were dedicated to stopping Irish immigration. This might be a more fruitfull area for the paragraph to explore. In the mid 19th century, there was a spate of burnings of Irish Catholic churches in New York, which was stopped when Archbishop John Hughes (archbishop) threatened to burn parts of New York in reprisal! (His exact words were, "to make New York another Moscow" -in reference to the burning of that city in 1812). I think these are the kind of issues the article should really deal with. Jdorney 11:59, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Ah right. I didn't get that before. The present wording looks ok to me. Arguably the computerised search thing is original research though and should be deleted, but I thinks its ok to say that historians disagree over how much discrimination the Irish faced at that time. My concern wold be that narrow focus of the section. I would suggest that hte nativist v immigrant angle is more important. However I wouldn't claim that any special knowledge on the subject.

Please read my statement on Maryland's Talk Page, under "Mid Atlantic State?" and give me your opinion on this matter. History21
Robbert Goggins the publisher of the Information that i posted, and the photographer of the Picture has this posted on the shamrock rovers web site: This information is the copyright of Robert Goggins and Shamrock Rovers Football Club and may be freely used so long as the source is credited so in effect its both ok for copyright, and its informative. but you be the judge of its suitability —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blu sonic (talk • contribs) .
Yeah your right about the seperate pages for players but i was too lazy, not an excuse a reason. I'll see if i can get some clarification on the photo and bios but i think that little programme sellers note is as good as they'll go.

Pardon me, but I was attempting to make a comment on the Category:Northern States dispute page but cannot seem to do so. When I opened the page and selected "edit," the only thing available for editing was a list of the different categories of disputed articles. I would appreciate your assistance. User:Joan53
I have tried in good faith to steer the MD to sourced info and NPOV statements. My edits have been repeatedly reverted by newbies User:Joan53 and User:History21 among others. WHAT CAN BE DONE? I don't want to be 3RR'ed. WillC 00:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at how User:History21 has mocked you by editing your comments to me on my talk page under Maryland....he went back and corrected your typos....isn't this considered vandalism? WillC 00:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
That section does seem to be heavily biased and full of assumption. I would say that it should either be properly sourced and reworded, or just heavily trimmed. --tomf688 (talk) 00:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Ever so sorry for offending your sense of Civic Pride in Your Country's Equally Proud and Also Upstanding Metrorail System by suggesting there may be an alternate viewpoint towards the practice of arresting 12 year olds for eating french fries. However, might I point out that "reference" is spelled as such, and "refrence" hardly contributes to a sense of academic well-being on your part? --Nugneant 09:31, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey Boothy,
I noticed that you reverted me at the above template. You may want to read some of the talk at Template talk:Infobox University, where there has been extensive discussion about the country based infoboxes. There have been two separate TFD on the country specific infoboxes Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 March 28 and Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_April_25#Template:UC_taxobox. I have added back in the deprecated. Please leave me a message if you think it should be retained, or leave a comment at Template:Infobox University Thanks! --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 17:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Isn't it about time some participants got blocked for their constant reverts without any explanations whatsoever? Over and over it is stressed that they need to be NPOV and unbiased and they will not follow Wikipedia policy. This is beyond content dispute; this is utter disregard for our rules. I have tried to be as civil was possible, gently explaining policy to these noobs and noting how they need to argue to make their point. It is like arguing with a stump. WillC 03:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
You might have right the there have been no discussion in it's talk page, this is because all univerity boxes have been handled as a whole, the reality is that it is deprecated, there is no reason to not mark it as such. If you have any objection to deprecate this template, please voice your conserns on Template talk:Infobox University (edit | template | history | links | watch | logs) →AzaToth 05:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
I took a look at the Maryland article, and twiddled with the "Cultural Identity" section a bit. I mainly did a little rewording, some Wikifying, and added a ((fact)) tag regarding Lincoln during the Civil War, as I think a reference point there would be helpful. That would at least partly eliminate the claim of original research in that article.
Also, I'm actually not from DC - I'm from Stuarts Draft, Virginia, in the western part of the state. However, I do spend a LOT of time in the Washington area, and am looking to move up that way. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:28, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Look, don't take the whole typo thing personally; it's not as if I dislike you or anything, it's just that grammar is a particular sticking point for me. I was glad to see that even you have recognized that WillC is not conducting himself in a responsible manner. You have repeatedly accused me of vandalism, but I just don't think that what I've done could be described as vandalism.
I mean, honestly, all of my information was cited. I would sincerely like you to write on my talk page and tell me why you think I've vandalized the Maryland article. We may disagree, but we can still be professional. And any differences aside, we both know that what WillC is doing is contrary to Wikipedia values by reverting whole sections of cited facts even as debate is ongoing. Please contact me soon.

:::What is your problem? I simply warned you about protocol? Why are you making this an issue? IrishGuy 06:39, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
The poll you put back in is unreliable. It only has data from presidential elections. It also has no information as whether the people polled were 100% Irish Catholics, or people who just claimed some Irish ancestry.
In say that Irish Catholics vote 50-50 is POV because the only source is for a presidential election. You need to have sources from local political elections. That is more important than national politics in determing if someone is republican or democrat. The poll Richard Jensen is promoting has no data from any local elections. It is unreliable and does not belong on wikipedia because it does not have all the facts.
Also, Ed Gillispie is the former RNC chairman, and why should he be mentioned and not the 13 or so Irish Catholic DNC chairmen? 75.3.4.54 18:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
You think that one poll from one election of people from California and Texas that claim Irish heritage can determine how a group has voted in every election in 36 years? You can't seriously think that is a reliable source. 75.3.4.54 18:25, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Would you consider "redneck" to be an example of Wikipedia policy-violating name calling? WillC 20:34, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Why do you allow stuff that is obviously untrue into the Irish American article. How can one poll from the 2004 presidential election determine how all Irish Catholics have voted in every election since 1968. If you read what you keep reverting to you should see that is what it says and if you checked the source, you would see it was only from one election. The only reason for you wanting to keep that in is because you would have to have an anti-Irish Catholic bias. 75.3.4.54 22:14, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, this message is because of your comments opossing Ta bu shi da yu admin here. Because of the abuse of authority of Ta bu shi da yu, Tens of thousands of images have been deleted by a small handful of wikipedians, citing "fair use".
Would you be interested in joining a group on wikipedia which counters the heavy handed tactics of the copyright police. We can't fight them on my own. User talk:Ed g2s has began deleting fair use image on every person's user page and on several other pages, inspired by WP:FUC which was written by another paternal copyright policeman with absolutly no legal training and little understanding of copyright law. Ta bu shi da yu created the WP:FUC page and was responsible for deleting hundreds of Time magazine covers and refused to stop even after Time magazine sent an e-mail allowing wikipedia to use the images.
We stared this page, with this purpose: User:Travb/Misguided and heavy handed tactics of some admins regarding copyright
Please tell others about this project. The paternal copyright police are well organized and are intoxicated with their own trival power here on wikipedia. Like most authoritarian personalities, these misguided copyright fanatics have finally have overstepped the bounds of good sense and restraint, when they began deleting tens of thousands images from wikiusers' pages. Only a large number of wikipedians will stop this abuse. Travb 13:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:TallahasseeFL.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the ((GFDL-self)) tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as ((Non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell 13:41, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but if any text copied from another website appears in a Wikipedia article—no matter how slight—and the original writer of that text has not given his/her permission for that text to be on Wikipedia under the GFDL, it is a copyright violation and it must be removed. Simply removing the offending text in a regular edit does not fix the problem, as the copyright violation would still be in the page history. Denelson83 19:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey i was wondering if you could help me with Template:Infobox GAA player. What i want to have is to deal with dual players so where it currently has sport should have maybe (({sport1))} (({sport2))} and when the second sport is picked sport changes to sports .
Also i was wondering if i would be possible to have links based on the sport(s) Shane_Ryan is the only articial using it atm . What i'd like to see is Provincial titles to change to Leinster titles and link to Leinster Senior Football Championship. And all-ireland to link to All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
Is this too many if's in the code would it be better to change it to Infobox gaelic footballer and create Infobox hurler ? (Gnevin 15:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC))
