Also don't worry we're not all hostile, just the Coogan article is a regular target of a vandal that pushes an anti-Irish POV so I keep an eye on it. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 03:42, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Also my talk page is semi-protected right now, so if you need to reply here is fine. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 03:47, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I have been around a few years, have run out of steam a bit here. I do a couple of edits a day. Have been through some wars, and it wasn't nice. But still I believe in WP. 86.42.159.119 04:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

That's understandable, once you get bogged down in the trenches it's difficult to get anything constructive done. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 07:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

My "wars" were with some Scots editors who got very aggrieved with some of my editing. That's another tale. Well I still do some very constructive editing, but not everyday. It's usually some edits that don't make the headlights, and no one sees them as belong to me, and I'm not into increasing my credit count. For example, about 5% of the Ireland page is my writing. There are still many fine editors left on WP, but I think it's on the decline, and the police aspect is being given too much energy. Changes in the way WP is run will only ensure it's survival. 86.42.159.119 11:23, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

BTW, if you come back here. Well I made up a program about the Irish General Election 2007, it's called "Catch Bertie". It's proving qiute popular. You can get it here. http://www.catchbertie.uni.cc 86.42.159.119 13:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

For some reason the Scottish editors disrupt the IR related articles the most. Strange why as the IRA never targeted Scotland directly, although plenty of Crown Forces come from there admittedly. I did try downloading it but it crashed my browser, and I'm not that desperate to play it sorry. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 23:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm delighted for your sake, as it's a really stupid game, made in 2 hours. But still, it got over 2000 hits, and 1500 downloads. It makes me wonder. 86.42.159.119 23:57, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Irish contingent has now lost Bloomsday, because they won't work together. There is only one Bloomsday, and it's now a redirect. That's similar to situations which I fought in the past, but got no help with. 86.42.153.192 12:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

That has to be the most ridiculous disambiguation page I've ever seen! One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 12:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

It's a really silly move, there is no rationale to that! 86.42.153.192 17:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
