[edit] Date formats

I don't want to sound patronising, so forgive me if I am. You do know that the date formats don't particularly matter because it can be set by your user preferences, don't you? --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

No problem, mate, as long as you're not in denial. :) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:19, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Message from User:Innaa placed on your user page

Are you a scammer ? It is criminal to first more or less steal private information and thereafter refuse to give it back, distribute it etc. You do not give any permission that this site can use your pages, pictures etc. Of course the owner has the right to delete whatever he/ she has in his box and published on this site. Ownership o the data etc has not changed. Perhaps something to think of here, also for you ? It will come a new day tomorrow. Perhaps you want to wake up and see it clearer than it was for you yesterday ? And what about a serious consent ? According to the police consents cannot be given through the net at all. It is totally illegal. This is the last nail in the coffin, isnt't it. Just some chatting on this WWW —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Innaa (talk • contribs).

[edit] Wikimania

Is cosúil go raibh Boston roghnaithe ceana féin mar áit Wikimania. Bheadh tacaíocht uaim ar 'bid' BhÁC ach sin sin ar aon nós. Slán go luath. - Dalta 23:13, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Place_names_in_Irish

I was given to understand that Hawaii and Rhode Island were the same in Irish...I guess Picapica is fairly forceful in her beliefs. I was updating the above referenced article and found that these states had different names at S.A.M.. I put them in hidden comments. It's up to someone who knows better...

[edit] O'Rothlain or Ó Rothlain?

A few questions for you...

• 1. Is the Proper wiki-way to take an anglacized name (O'Rothlain) and change it to it's gaelic (Ó Rothlain)? Please reference Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles)
• 2. Where did you get your definition of the name? You said it meant "decendant of Rothlan." Firstly you eliminated the "i" in O'Rothlain. Secondly where did this definition come from?

[edit] Thanks for the clarification

Thanks. What books are you referencing that you have??

[edit] Sinn Féin & I.R.A.

Sinn Féin is the political wing of the I.R.A. in the same way that Herri Batasuna is the political wing of ETA. Therefore, they do follow, given the fact that they are in the same class of subhumanity as ZANU-PF & the Maori Party - lower than that of pigs & cattle! - (Aidan Work 03:54, 10 January 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Rugby union project

There's a Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby union that you probably don't know about. The league equivalent is working quite nicely but the union one only has five participants. So I'm leaving messages on the talk pages of the main contributors. You don't have to sign up but your contribution would be welcomed.GordyB 10:57, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ó Róithleán

"I must admit that the translation might not be perfect, as I'm not sure whether Rothlan is just a name - it could be a title, occupation or something else. But the name does mean "grandson/descendant of [whatever Rothlan means]"."

Trust me on this, over nine out of any ten Irish surnames derive from a personal name of some sort, including nicknames. Smaller numbers are descriptive, occupational, but hardly any are derived from placenames. Having said that, I was myself looking for the original form of Rowland, and still have not satisfactorily come up with the original form. Seemingly a family from the lower classes of Gaelic society.

[edit] East Germany Vandalism

Sorry, I saw the sssssss vandalism, and got a little confused as to which edit it was, and accidently restored it, thinking that it was the non-"sssssss" edit. --Bill Du Talk 19:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Decimal separator

Hi Kwekubo, I was reading the article Decimal separator and noticed some countries with sizeable populations not listed in the sections ¨Dot countries¨ and ¨Comma countries¨ including Ghana. So I thought I´d look up an Ghanaian Wikipedian and suggest that you add Ghana to which-ever category it belongs. Thanks, AussieDingo83 10:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

What are you doing to Irish Government Buildings? Government Buildings is a generic term that cannot be used because it is used in hundreds of countries. It will simply get shunted off of that page because it will be turned into a disamb page, and then someone is going to have have to go through all the links you've changed and change them all back again. Irish Government Buildings, the name the state uses for them internationally to avoid confusion, was used on WP, to avoid a disamb mess and broken links.

[edit] VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

[edit] youre missing the point

i dont delete entries to let people know i read it! i delete them because i like my page completely unclutered, with only curent discussions. the message at the top is to reassure people ther message has been read(and almost invariably, replied to) if its not there. •USER•ADAM THE ATOM•TALK• 11:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Music site

Just thought I would let you know that there is already an AfD for this stie. Its located at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music free download. Please contribute there and remove the other AfD to keep things organized. --Hetar 17:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rESPONSE

The Wikipedia:Justice Court is a early warning system. It will not alienate users it will show them that they need to change their ways. Geo.plrd 01:37, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

By listing them on a "board of shame". Excellent idea, I'll go shoot myself right now. --Lord Deskana ^{I VALUE YOUR OPINIONS} 18:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] jokey

Ok, that was sort of an experiment to see whether anyone reads those comments but I've now gotten that out of my system, and it won't happen again. It was nice to get a response so quickly to a posting, albeit automatically generated. I want what I (visibly) wrote to be taken seriously, particularly considering the subject matter (that so-called history was historical fiction) so, yeah, no more jokey comments.

[edit] Worker's Party

REgarding your recent move of Workers Party (Ireland) to The Workers Party (Ireland). FYI, the correct name of the party is the Workers Party of Ireland (and there's no need to include "the" in the title of Wikipedia articles).--Damac 21:57, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northern Ireland mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee. It doesn't list you as a party, but you may wish to add yourself. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Northern Ireland and, if you wish, add you name and indicate that you agree to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dobedo

I deleted due to a lack of assertion of notability, and because it read as promotion spam, most notably with "Dobedo was NOT funded by advertising as this Wiki entry previously stated prior to revision. That was incorrect or at best incomplete information. Dobedo was funded by venture capitalists from its inception to its closure during the dotcom bust period around 2000. However, in the Swedish version of the site, ads were incorporated into the chat but that never happened in either the UK or German incarnations. In the UK, a deal was struck with MTV to provide the TV company with MTV-branded Dobedo chat rooms which led back from MTV to the Dobedo island but, unbelievably, no money ever exchanged hands. Dobedo gained nothing from the moneyless partnership and at the time many staff, particularly in the UK office which was known for being both the most radical and inventive branch of the company with its most senior editorial staff located in London, were at the time very angry at what they saw as the Swedish office going 'over their heads' and ignoring their advice about the deal." I'd be happy to provide you the text of the article if you want to revise it into something that asserts notability and makes a bit more sense. Phil Sandifer 01:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quick Revert

Thanks for the quick reversion to my userpage vandalism! Keep up the great work. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:26, 15 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) 21:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
