Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Canterbury Tail talk 11:41, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Please stop vandalising Wikipedia. Altering references that read Northern Ireland to read instead Ireland (an island rather than the country being discussed) is considered vandalism, as is altering references to County Londonderry to read County Derry. Please refrain from altering such references in the future or you may be temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia. Canterbury Tail talk 11:41, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Recent editing
[edit]Hi, I see you've been editing a lot of GAA articles lately, great we need all the help we can get. Just wondering why are you deleting the nationality in the opening line of each article. Nationality is notable enough to include in the opening line of an encyclopedia article. Also as far as I know the word "County" shouln't be shortened to Co., as people not from Ireland who stumble across the article won't know what Co. stands for.

Translations
[edit]Hi there. Please do not make translations of terms with respect to Northern Ireland and insert them into articles. If the translations are used and accurate they need to be referenced as there is no evidence that any of the translations you have recently provided have ever been used in any official capacity. Just making a translation into Irish is not the point of the Irish language section in some articles, it's to provide for when an Irish version is used. Canterbury Tail talk 23:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
