[edit] Northern Ireland

I have reverted the flag / arms descriptions to the previous stable version (from a sample of previous versions), hopefully this is suitable. Thanks/wangi 21:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template talk:IRAs

Hi User:Red King, I noticed that you were involved in the last discussion at Template talk:IRAs, and I'd like to discuss a few changes I'd like to make. When I started last, someone reverted me, so I'd really like some other folks' input. I'd appreciate your thoughts at Template talk:IRAs. Erin Go Bragh


[edit] Description/Descriptions

Why does a minor correction need discussion? (Sarah777 00:20, 13 February 2007 (UTC))

Red you said: The change you made is not a minor one. It implies that the description "Republic of Ireland" is incidental - that it is just one of many, with the same status as (say) "Emerald Isle". Not so. I reckon the RoI is one of just TWO arguably 'official' descriptions (RoI and Ireland). But two is plural. (Sarah777 01:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC))

Thanks for the tip-off Red - but I already have it covered!! Only 30 more days to go now.....(Sarah777 21:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Coat of Arms of Ireland

I would like to know why User:Djegan insists in put back the old PNG file of the COA, since the SVG one is exactly the same, appart from the brownish color (which, in my opinion, is not the correct one). I think that it is almost vandalism, since he reverts the editions without reasonable arguments. If there is any problem in the SVG file, it can be corrected, instead of put back the PNG file. --Tonyjeff 14:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, Red King. Actually, for the strings, it's supposed to be silver, according to this article; in the link you gave ([1]) seems to be so, indeed. In fact, each of the sites you found seems to use different versions of the harp, don't they? I used CMYK colors in order to be less "high" compared to RGB colors, and really think Brian Boru should be yellowish instead of the brownish one of the PNG version. Anyway, I'm going to try to find the pantones -- If you could help me, I'd appreciate. = ) Thanks for your tips, pal! --Tonyjeff 01:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No Personal Attacks Please

I should like to remind you of WP:NPA, which you violated on your RV summary of Ireland edit regarding my earlier edit. Manopingo 22:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

  • o_O - since when has using the word pedantic become a "personal attack"?? - Alison☺ 12:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment--any personal attacks against me, from this on, whatever the nature, will be met with a robust response, and that especially applies to User_talk:Ali-oops too. You have been warned! Manopingo 13:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • You going to bring it to WP:AN/I like you did with Kathryn?? You're totally overreacting here - Alison☺ 13:12, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
The fact of changing 83% to 82.75% is pedantic. That is a factual statement, not a personal attack - I even had doubts about my own change from five sixths to 83% in interests of readability. I did not say that the editor who did it is a pedant, which would be. I don't take kindly to threats. Take your tanks off my lawn. --Red King 19:46, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland Flags

I only voted "disagree" because I was simply answering the question as it was presented. Simply removing the flags would not place the article in the position that I think it should be. Re-state the question, then I will change my vote ( to an unqualified one). I will even help in the reformatting of the article.Gary Joseph 22:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pan-European identity

212.83.71.69 placed an undated comment at the talk page, to make it look as if you and two others support his proposal to restore the title 'Europatriotism'. For the record I still have no objection to a European identity article, but it should be founded on reliable sources, on that controversial issue.Paul111 11:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
