Irish town articles

Hi, would you help me get some Irish town articles edited?? I'd appreciate it! SunStar Net 23:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll look around and see what I can do. It would sped up the process if you could point me towards the specific articles or categories of articles you'd like help with. --Kathryn NicDhàna 02:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Cork -> Cork City

Why are you editing my requested move? I know the vote to move Cork (material) to Cork failed to achieve consensus, but many of the oppose votes indicated they would support the move I am now requesting (Cork to Cork City and Cork (disambiguation) -> Cork. I've set up the voting to take place at Talk:Cork. --Serge 06:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I really think this was already covered. Only a few people said anything about changing the disambig page. I thought the debate was over. --Kathryn NicDhàna 06:58, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Over a third (5 of the 13) opposing the move of Cork (material) to Cork indicated they would or at least might support a move of the dab page to Cork. Add that number to the 9 supporters of the first move and you have a clear majority (14 to 8), but I think we should have a specific survey for this to confirm. --Serge 07:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Upon review of the issue, i agree, it does appear as if the general concensus supported a move of Cork (disambiguation) -> Cork, even if they did not suport Cork (material) to CorkCleverlycreated 07:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Greetings from LJ

Hi there! Just waving atcha from over here now :) I remember meeting you on Fulacht fiadh a few weeks back - Alison✍ 19:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[Waves back] :-) --Kathryn NicDhàna 20:01, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

'allo

Believe we met, (irl 31 Oct 97, I brought pumpkin soup and a pomegranate) and again on Lj when someone was being trollish, and you one-upped them in trolling yourself . . . I think.--Vidkun 02:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I'm BEYOND screwed up on this one: I'm thinking of Ní Dhighe.--Vidkun 14:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Actually, it gets weirder. I think you may actually be thinking of a third person who shares those initials: my good friend who almost fits the same description of me on paper, has been confused with me before, and which confusion led to us having to create the "NOT the Same Person" icon :-) --Kathryn NicDhàna 20:23, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Nope, I'm actually thinking of Danielle Ní Dhighe, of AACT, whom I met at Samhain of 97. But I may have also seen you on nfp on lj.--Vidkun 20:44, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Oh hey, I know who DNíD is - we met on usenet about 10 years ago now. Wow - small world :) - Alison✍ 23:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I am acquainted with Dani from her work with Imbas. However it was Kym who founded AACT, and who lives in NH. :-) --Kathryn NicDhàna 19:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
ARGH. SHows you the faultiness of memory with age. I KNOW I was in NH, so I know (now) who it must have been. Dang all the similar sounding names!--Vidkun 19:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Once upon a time, long ago, some rogue spirit, god or non-god decreed, "Make all these women have ni/Nic names, and most of them include a D!" We didn't plan it, I swear. --Kathryn NicDhàna 22:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
AND a "k", too!--Vidkun 13:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Core Shamanism

Hi Kathryn. I'm interested in your last edits to Core Shamanism, which refer to criticisms of the system. Could you add citations and/or external links to that article which would make it easier to understand the what and why of these criticisms? I'm rather an outsider to understanding any of this, and I need more references. Thanks! — Coelacan | talk 16:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty certain my edits you are referring to were just a copyedit for clarity. I did not originate that section. Sourcing isn't really a problem, though, just need to do it. (Hmmm... [wonders if she can fit it in tonight...]) --Kathryn NicDhàna 01:34, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Rv question

Hi, I was wondering what happened with this edit? I'm unclear on what you intended to do. KillerChihuahua?!? 20:40, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Ooops!!! I was removing this. Something glitched and I didn't see that there had been edits since then. All apologies! I probably multitasked myself into a mistake: Was in process of warning 89.213.13.44, who appears to be return of blocked user 82.163.39.185. --Kathryn NicDhàna 20:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)


Rewrite of "More Irish than the Irish themselves"

I've posted a proposed edit on the talk page at Talk:More_Irish_than_the_Irish_themselves#Proposed_rewrite_of_final_section. (Abú ar an obair mhaith le Shamhain freisin. Go raibh maith agat!) --sony-youth 01:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations

Hi Kathryn, I'd mcuh appreciate your voice over at Talk:Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations. There's not much to explain; several of the organizations have been put up for AfD recently; CUUPs was kept, but others are still up in the air.

As a side note, have you see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikijunior_Ancient_Civilizations/Celts ? You might be interested in it; still has some work to be done, but the basis is there. There's only been one person editing, and it could use a second voice.

Some day I'm going to ask you to orient me in the world of CRP, oh fellow UU Gael. HellaNorCal 00:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Del Close

Just wanted to belatedly drop by and thank you for beating back the vandalism on the Del Close page. Cheers. Kgwo1972 04:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

And thank you for your work on the article, as well! The person who kept blanking text seemed to have some sort of agenda against Del. Maybe he was kicked off an Improv Olympic team or something. Maybe Harold didn't agree with him. I didn't really *know* Del, but we did cross paths a few times when I was doing improv in Chicago. I was simultaneously horrified and floored with amusement when I heard Charna showed up at Goodman with the skull. What an amazing joke. Similarly, when I heard the skull wasn't really Del's I was somewhat relieved, but mostly impressed they'd pulled it off as well as they did. I've got to love someone who is still amusing us so well, even from beyond the grave. Did we ever find out whose skull it was? --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 19:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I've been using it for a couple days now. Sometimes it shuts down for no apparent reason and I have to restart it. And at times I'm a bit dangerous as I learn what it can and can't do. Twice now I've accidentally left an AfD on the pages of anonymous IP vandals! Who knew. Other than that, it is quite useful for the thwacking. Thanks for developing it, and I look forward to v1.31.--Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 08:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Anonymous anger and disruption from 86.42.146.214

Why do you insist in filling WP with silly pejoratives that only comedians use. These terms, like "Miserly Scotsman" etc should only be in the WikiDic!! 86.42.146.214 00:10, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

To what are you referring? If this is about removing the ProD template from Plastic Paddy, I discussed that on the talk page. I think that hardly constitutes "filling WP" with anything. --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 00:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Whois angry? Maybe you are. I don't understand the term. Come to think of it, I don't know who you are either! LOL. A cara, hope you don't mind other people having an opinion. Slainte. 86.42.146.214 00:35, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
You have posted various talk page comments in all caps and with many exclamation points. This is generally perceived as shouting. You have also been using profanity and insults in some of your edit summaries. This violates WP:Civil. As you have often been contentious in some of these comments, it is not unreasonable to perceive these things as anger. While I am not angry, I do find some of your recent actions, such as your screaming "No POPERY around here!!!!!!!!!!!" on the Halloween article, and your abuse of NPOV templates by posting the template on an entire article when you disagree with a minor point in a subsection, to be counterproductive and not helpful to the encyclopedia. Your actions so far are those of someone who has come here more to pick fights than contribute. --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 01:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Where is your sense of humour, mainly tongue in cheek stuff, under the influence of a little wine perhaps. No, not you. Me! I have a user name, and you are not getting it. I only use it when I'm sober, HeHeHe. Just because I might be off the mark sometimes, well that doesn't make you correct. No POPERY around here!!!!!!!!!!! was a very targeted response to a particular editor. It was very appropiate. Now where was I with this novel that I'm trying to finish?? 86.42.146.214 01:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Using one account to do edits for which you wish to be accountable, and another for the purpose of disruption, violates Wikipedia policy on Sockpuppetry. While the right to edit under an IP is protected, if you routinely use your IP, or other IPs in your range which are obviously you, as in effect a "second account" to avoid accountability, you are risking being banned. Specifically see: WP:Sock#"Good hand, bad hand" accounts --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 22:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
