Sorry about Siobhan O'Hanlon; I guess thats 4 for 4. Now she's reunited with her comrades in hell -- you should be happy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.101.79.171 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Childishness

What is childish is for you to delete things without reading them b/c others tell you to, whoever they may be (I have some suspicions). I know that as an Irish Catholic censorship and apologetics are in your DNA, but on Wikipedia, you are supposed to move beyond that, and if you can't or won't, then you don't deserve to be on it. Spread the word.

Hello Robert! I'd love to say it's good to hear from you again but, sadly, I'm a man of integrity who is above lying and distorting the truth (unlike a fellow wikipedian i could mention...). I did actually read your edit of the Irish-Scots page-it was the usual sectarian drivel that you spout with one or two new members on your hate list/"Irish-Scots".GiollaUidir 20:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, Robert. You've annoyed yet another editor *and* you've called them Catholic. Quelle surprise! - Ali-oops✍ 20:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC) (PS - you also vandalised this editor's userpage. Naughty, naughty!)

[edit] Bobby Sands

You describe my edits as misleading and POV could you explain how they are misleading as I disagree. --Karatekid7 12:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Karatekid7 has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk pages. Happy editing!

Hi, Thanks for your message, sorry if I accused one of your edits as being vandalism, I was not trying to be confrontational. The important thing to realise with someone like Bobby Sands is that he is very open to POV edits as different people will have different POV on him. My main area of edit on the article was the area relating to the singing of songs by Rangers fans about Sands. Originally the article had mentioned the well known song about "chicken suppers", this song is rarely sang. I also thought that it would be better to put in the POV that Rangers fans would see Bobby Sands as both a terrorist and as an antihero. Highlighting what one sides POV is in a debate does not make a section of an article POV even if you disagree with it. Thanks --Karatekid7 23:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glasgow

Wow, that is quite amusing... I've been away from Glasgow for the past year, but I can't wait to get back in September. I never thought I'd miss that place. Peter Z.Talk 23:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Heh, well I started out on a work placement at a research site in England owned by Merck, a big pharma. Half way into my placement year Merck closed the site (heard of the Vioxx scandal? it definitely didn't help) and relocated me to another site in Italy. I am sort of working there now. Sort of, because I am actually stuck in Russia, the country I have citizenship in, waiting for a visa to enter Italy :) You can reply here if you want btw Peter Z.Talk 23:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah, not good. At least you get to do nothing for a few months and blame it on them. :P GiollaUidir 23:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cappagh

I edited Cappagh to match pretty much every other "Villages in Nothern Ireland" node to actually match the geographical and political reality that it's in Northern Ireland, not the mythical, very POV Ulster construct you popped it in. Unfortunately the NI Town info box doesn't support villages very well, as it demands a population figure, and the census doesn't go down to village level, only to ward, hence the clippage. You might want to consider proposing a new info box, as well as looking at how the current ones work (you don't have to do them as manual tables!). So please, keep the geography NPOV, after all your definition of "active service" makes me seeth, but I'm not about to jump all over it because it's *almost* neutral --Blowdart 21:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Aye, twas James McDade that raised the hackles, but I don't think there will ever be language both sides agree on. At least not for a couple of hundred years after the mess is sorted. --Blowdart 09:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] A plea

Please stop supporting terrorist organisations like you did here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Irish_National_Liberation_Army#INLA_.2F_IRSP.

Thank you.

We both know that those kind of informations would have been impossible to find out without being close to them.Even if you are their member,you still shouldnt support it publicly and making them look good.It will be nice if you revert that edit,and as Ia sign of good will I wont report you to admins,but please revert it.Thanks Ice Cold 15:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your edits to United Kingdom, the issue of 'Britain' has had a lot of discussion. Please do not simply make changes in this area without discussing. Thank you. DJ Clayworth 21:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mairead Farrell

Hi, the article seems fine to me, although I don't have any additional information about her. The only thing I'd question is whether the IRA luanched "massive offensive" in 1976, in response to the revocation of special category status. Firstly, the IRA ended a year long ceasefire early in that year, so an offensive bombing campaign might just as easily have been a response to that. Secondly, the normal version of IRA organisation at this time is that they "downsized" to have smaller, cellular structures rather than recruiting many more young operatives as they did in the early 70s (for internal security etc). Either way, quoting a source might clear things up a bit.

[edit] Dominic McGlinchey

Hi, [Dominic McGlinchey|the article] was edited due to false information being removed, in line with the encyclopaedic principle of wikipedia. Please do no revert the article back to include known false information.

Regards, Lessthanthree 16:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

As you can see the information you kept deleting has been readded with refs. Anyone with even a basic knowledge of the past 30 yrs in Ireland would have known that. Please refrain from vandalising articles and posting rubbish on my (i.e. here!) talk page. Ta! GiollaUidir 13:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User page image...

Without comment on the content or caption of it, the placement of said image may trigger the automatic assumption of regular Wikipedians that one of the subjects is the operator of the account. This may not be what you intended. 68.39.174.238 00:43, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I very much doubt they would. Thanks for your concern, nonetheless.GiollaUidir 16:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Volunteer

I thought you would be interested to see the following discussion where we are debating the use of the term volunteer as a member of the IRA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_%28Ireland-related_articles%29#IRA_articles:_usage_of_the_word_.22volunteer.22 Vintagekits 16:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death of Bobby Sands

On what basis do you think the lack of acknowledgement, or whatever you want to call it, in the House of Commons for the death of Sands was notable? Logica 01:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

PMJI but I think (as the person who added this to the article first) that it should be debated on Talk:Bobby Sands. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 21:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Irish History

You seem like you have a lot a knowledge with respect Irish history so maybe you would like to comment on the historic basis of this term here Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-12-02 IRA 'Volunteer' usage —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DownDaRoad (talk • contribs) 20:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
