Buttevant

That is the one I was trying to put on yesterday. It is truly splendid.

Well: M- how very coincidental. From B, but in exile. There is more to be put on about Canon Sheehan; especially an appraisal of his writing. Imagine the one who dumped him off yesterday. What Boeotians! Will get to Doneraile and Mallow but after Christmas. I am away to the Eallagh Vale for the Sacred Season. Happy Christmas.

Dear Alioops: have been trying to eneter three pictiures in article about Buttevant (Ballybeg section) but cannot resolve problems. Can you do anything. Thanks - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.43.58.100 (talk • contribs)

  • answered on your talk page - Ali-oops✍ 13:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

i do not mind if the photos are cropped. I am anxious to have apicture of the interior and exterior of the columbarium which is a fascinating building - not to mention what can be deducted from it. I was also trying to put on the picture from the Hours of the Duc de Berry. I will be happyy with whatever you can do as I do not understand muchn bout aòl these technical things. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.43.58.100 (talk • contribs)

  • Done! I've obtained permission from the photographer & uploaded the images to the article. Answered on your talk page - Ali-oops✍ 13:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks a million. The photographs worked out magnificently. See how marvellous the interior is and how well preserved it is after nearly 800 years. Any luck with the the Duc de Berry hours. There is a columbarioum on the right hand side.
  • Dear Ali,ù

I have included a few more pictures on the Buttevant site and would be obliged oif you could upload them. The picure from the Berry hours is already on the site for the book of hours as is the one of Napoleon. There are also two of Buttevant Friary by the same man who took the Ballybeg pictures. Alsoi, I have a oprint from Smith's History of Cork (1760) of the inside of the Friary before the tower fell down in 1814 and would loike to scan and mount it too. How do I do that?

Ali:

Thanks much for your welcome msg on my talk page.

A quick question about your edit on the CCO'B page....

You restored the commentaries leading to Bowen-Colthurst and WB Yeats, which someone (not me) had deleted. It seems to me that those sentences are wandering way off the topic and probably should be dropped. In the first one, we're reporting the retirement fate of someone who ordered the killing of the husband of an aunt of CCO'B. The second one discusses a former love interest of the mother of one of CCO'B's bosses.

I'm sure that this material is verifiable, but wouldn't it be better placed in the entries for those various individuals... yes/no?

Cheers,

JXM 23:57, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the edit assistance. There are still some items to come for the publications and bibliography.

Dear Alioops: could you please oblige by inserting the photograph in the Buttevant article. Thanks. Happy New Year.

Hi!

Strabane

There you go again, spreading falsities. I refer to: "reverting this is not 'spreading falsities' by any stretch." I never once said that you were 'spreading falsities' by reverting to your preferred edition. The falsities that I refer to are contained on the Strabane talk page. I refer to the unfounded personal attacks that you direct towards me there. Once again, distorting the facts to suit your own agenda. I urge you to back up your claims. Tír Eoghain abú 00:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I urge you to back off on your revert war that you've been carrying out for some time. It's incredibly puerile - Ali-oops✍ 00:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
    • A war that you seem more than willing to be engaged in. Puerile? Put away the thesaurus love. Tír Eoghain abú 01:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

        • You backed off because you were in breach of 3RR, not in the interest of civility. You seem unable to discuss changes to the Strabane page on the talk page - so why should the rest of us not follow suit? Hardly setting a good example is it? Now that's what I call puerile.

Transsexuality

Hi Ali-Oops. After seeing your revert of this article, I reverted part of it back. Even though I am a transsexual woman myself and I am against all forms of discrimination against transpeople, I also agree with the NPOV policy and strive to follow it when editing articles. Well, one thing I have noticed about this article is that it uses "transsexuality" in some sections and "transsexualism" in others; I think it should use one term consistently, other than for having a brief notation that both terms are used interchangeably (not within the article though). I have considered renaming it as "transsexualism" as that seems to be the term in widest use today, but as you recommend, I feel I should discuss such a change before making it. I left a note about this on the article's talk page, but so far, no one has responded. I also would like for this article to be featured, but it still needs a lot of work. I will appreciate anything you can do to improve it.

Did you want me to do something?

Regarding your comment on my talk page. Did you want me to do something about it? What in particular? MyNameIsNotBob 06:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

  • There's not a lot can be done about it, unfortunately. Robert was banned a few weeks ago due to his behaviour and attitude, yet he persists on evading the ban using various IP addresses. Most of his talk page comments are just personal attacks/accusations re. various editors. Right now, he's collecting editors who are monitoring his vandalism & on it goes. Thanks for the offer, though - Ali-oops✍ 06:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

hi ali-oops,

thank you for your reversion of my revision in the blarney entry of your encyclopedia. im sorry to have messed it up on you. i didnt realise you owned the entry.

  • I don't, but calling Cork people "knackers" with "monkey like arms" is just a weency bit POV, no? [1] - Ali-oops✍ 19:30, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

hi ali-oops,

myself and my buddy here reckon you need to lighten up a small bit. cork people all over the world are famous for taking the piss out of themselves. i take it you arent from cork so?

Hi Ali, you recently reverted 65.88.88.200 (talk · contribs) at Gerry Adams, calling him Robert. Could you let me know which user this is, please? Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 06:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, now I see you left it on my talk page: Robert Sieger. I accidentally deleted your comment without even seeing it when I deleted his. I take it this is rms@hotmail.com. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:56, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

INS

It was the beginning of my downfall. Can you review my edits and make a note in the edit summaries so they are not all automatically deleted by your countrymen?? You don't have anything better to do, do you?? I've been good and avoided the controversial pages, as you have undoubtedly noticed.

Thanks, luv —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.194.4.43 (talk • contribs)

I'll leave this comment on the main page, Robert. Firstly;

  • Quit calling me 'luv' - it's patronising and demeaning. Use my username or first name if you must.
  • You are using IP addresses to evade the ban imposed upon you. You've been doing this for weeks.
  • I review every single one of your edits. If there is POV/vandalism/etc, I'll either revert it or fix it. If it looks okay, I'll generally leave it. Same as I'd do with any other edits, really. I've no interest in 'censoring' anyone so don't go there.
  • Yes, I noticed you've left certain articles alone. Very good. However, the problem isn't necessarily the content but your approach. I don't think you realise that yet.
  • There are probably about 15 editors and maybe 3 admins watching your every move right now. You earned every one of them. I've no control over these people.
  • Demiurge may revert every one of your edits if Demiurge sees fit. You've been banned, after all.
  • I've plenty of better things to be doing, but I'll see what I can do. It sounds like you're trying to compromise/co-operate and that's a welcome departure.

Nastassja Kinski

Hi Ali-oops, I saw that there took place a little editwar between Demiurg and an anonymous pighead (who stated to be a former INS employee) about the date of birth of the German actress. I live in Germany and I adressed myself to the Berlin authorities (see). 1961 is definiteley correct. If the anonymous guy did edit the IMDb date - as he writes - he damaged this database, which is really a shame. Greetings to the beautiful Ireland --Bogart99 15:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

NPOV tag at Andre article

Since you placed the NPOV tag back in the article, can you please come to the article's talk page to dsicuss why it's needed? NPOV tags must be accompanied by information that justifies why you think the NPOV tag is needed, or the tag should be removed. NPOV tags should be accompanied by criticism that's fixable; if nothing is ever articulated as to what needs fixing, the tag has to come off. · Katefan0 (scribble) 03:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Greystones

I see that you too have reverted this page. Can we get protected it from editing by anon users? I think that might keep some of the vandalism from happening as most of it has been from anon users, not registered users, though not often several times in 24 hours. I don't know how to get that done. Cheers ww2censor 17:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

You-know-who

Thanks for the info re you-know-who's latest rant. However, I won't be replying, as it only encourages him. I don't know what he expects to gain from it, as it will only serve to advertise what a bigot he is...sad. Camillus (talk) 14:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Meaningless tag

{{sockpuppet|Purger|evidence=[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Purger]]}}

Note: The tag above is meaningless. This IP address (64.18.16.251) is not a single user address - rather a proxy server IP address used by many people - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.18.16.251 (talk • contribs)

  • It doesn't matter whether it's a proxy server addy or not. It marks the address as being a potential route for sockpuppetry/abuse and that's enough - Ali-oops✍ 22:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
You aren't too bright, are you? All I am trying to tell you - just discriminate between plural and singular i.e beween a proxy server (=many users) and a single user - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.18.16.251 (talk • contribs)
  • There's no need to be rude. Like I said, it doesn't matter whether its a proxy gateway or not (and yes, I did rDNS). It's obvious, even from this comment, that the address is *used* by a sockpuppet. Other editors may judge accordingly - Alison✍ 06:21, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


Did you read it

My position statement. Did you read it?

Do you see where I am comming from on this. We have to realize that both I and Bailey livein the same place. Chicago,IL USA. I will give it to you that in the wider world there may be other groupings that are relevant but here In Chicago there are only two. It was also the same in LA. In fact when I live in LA briefely, a decade ago, I never saw anyone who could be called an autogynephille. They just ran in totally different circles.

I am speaking from my own observations not anyone's book on the existance of at least two (possiblly three) types. With the third effectively bisexual type being nearly indistinguisheable fromt the homosexual type (using baileys nomenclature). Only difference is some needed to try sex with a woman a couple of times to be sure they did not like it. They did not need to marry women happliy for 20 years and raise five kids to be sure. Among other non trivial differences.--Smartgirl62 14:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Anyway I am creating a post merger version of the articles on "Autogynephillia" and "Homosexual Transexuals". I have entitled it Blanchard, Bailey, and Lawrence theory, I feel such a title gives no priority to anyone who would be in either group. I will redirect Autogynephillia and homosexual transsexual links to this article once it is copleate. I invite you to help. Be it known I will not stand for this article becomeing mostly about gutogynephillia and the reactions of people effected by that label. --Smartgirl62 14:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Answered on your talk page - Alison✍ 17:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Nice. I am no fan of BBL's theories either. Please realize same about most young, androphillic transsexuals. --Smartgirl62 00:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

No I think that's the perfect title for the article. It referes to who created the theory. Which is the scientific convention when the creator of the theory does not provide a name. I am going to execute the merger soon. I fugure we can work out whatever the problems are after that.--Smartgirl62 15:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Just make sure you're not operating unilaterally and have a certain community support for the merger. Otherwise it may go wrong. Maybe start a vote? - Alison✍ 15:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
    • The merger and redirect seem to have come off without a hitch. As all concerned parties agree this decision seems it will stand. Please feel free to edit the living crap out of the new article if you feel the need. Peace.--Smartgirl62 20:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

John de Courcy Ireland

Regarding maritime articles, and the fact that he was from Munster ... would you be able to dig up anything on John de Courcy Ireland? User:ClemMcGann is right in that we don't have much to show for an island nation, but anything on the late John would be a good start. Cheers, Fergananim 20:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Vunderbar; not to put more work on ye, but if you ever find out what relation he was to John de Courcy and Baron Kingsale I'd be delighted to learn. Incidently I heard years ago that "Ireland" was added to their name back in the 17th and 18th century to distinuish the de Courcys in Ireland from those that emigrated over to France. Would love to learn more on the family as they and I share a common maternal ancestor. Long story! Fergananim 20:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
