Greetings!
My name is Ryan, and it's my pleasure to welcome you, GerardKeating, to Wikipedia! First of all, I'd like to thank you for joining the project, and contributing to articles and discussion. I hope you can continue to take part in Wikipedia, because we need more valuable editors like yourself.

I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing!  --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 10:27, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] British Summer Time

Thanks for reverting that irritating vandal's work. I've reported the user, but as it's an AOL proxy server, it's hard for them to block it for very long. JRawle (Talk) 19:35, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I've moved your signature to the end of your comment, which is the usual place. In my comment above yours, the user ID at the start of the comment is the name of the vandal I'm reporting! To sign a comment, enter four tildes at the end like this: ~~~~
I used the "unsigned" template as I needed to look up who wrote the comment to leave you a message about the vandal – you didn't really need to change it to a standard signature, just remember to sign next time! The good news is that the page has now been protecrted so that unregistered users can't edit it. Hopefully that vandal will now give up on this page and go away!

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:KeatingCrest.gif, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 13:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Former states

Hi Gerard. You're adding some of articles to the "Former State" category, some of which I believe to be in error. For example neither the Limerick Soviet nor the Muster Republic were states, even if their names suggest that they were. The Limerick Soviet was as a boycott and a strike. The Munster Republic was a extrajudicial area of the Free State during the Civil War, and thus if it were a former state, it would be the Irish Republic, not a state of its own. --sony-youthpléigh 09:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ronnycoxcd-cowboysavant.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ronnycoxcd-cowboysavant.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 10:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
