Help
[edit]Hi Murry1975,
You and another person who monitors the articles have indicated the same things which I am doing wrong. I thought the process was a lot easier then it is and have looked into getting some professional advice/help from someone who is better then I am at this.
Once things are clearer to me and more importantly in better shape to be accepted by yourselves, these articles will be submitted again. I wasn't aware I was meant to save them to be reviewed and then move forward from there.
I do apologise and sorry for my poor understanding on how to use Wikipedia in the right way.
Kindest regards,

Simon Palmer & Back2Basics
[edit]Hi Murry1975
You recently the deleted the page that was set for the radio show Back2Basics indicating that it was a local radio show and not of sufficient notability. We're listened to by 100,000 worldwide through iTunes, are a Feature Podcast on Podbean and would also like to confirm that show has now been picked up by national radio and we're in the process of transferring to RTE. The show will shortly be airing on RTE Pulse and will be the first all vinyl radio show on RTE in approx 20 years (RTE's PR department is confirming the exact date). I can't confirm this on my page yet because we haven't made the formal announcement with RTE. This is why I recently amended my own page to highlight that the show has finished on Dublin South FM. My apologies as I forgot to log in. Once we make the announcement from RTE I hope to be able to reinstate the page for the show itself. Will this be possible? Is there anywhere the content is saved? I will also annotate my own page.
Thanks for your help.

- Stop editng that page. WP:COI. Stop edtng your article page, again COI. You shouldnt confirm anything on "your page". Stop using wikpedia to promote yourself and your show. If it is indeed notable enough others will do the editing for you. Understand this is an encyclopedia with notability criteria, a collection of many things, please read these links. I see you have had a few articles deleted, and also copyright issues over images.
- You are on here since 2007, with over 400 edits (not including deleted articles, nearly 80 deleted edits). So not a fantastic high total, but still one that would allow you to come to an understanding of wikipedia. My utter honest advice to you is read the links I have given, dont edit an article that mentions you, dont create one either, read as many guidelines, WP:MOS is a must read, it shows the standard style edits n here.
- I hope these are helpful to you, but I will be blunt, dont promote yourself on here. Edit martial arts articles, improve the ones you already have edited, and enjoy being on here. Murry1975 (talk) 18:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
OK thanks for the advice, which I will read and refresh myself with. Thanks, Simon Simonjohnpalmer (talk) 21:11, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
Back2Basics
[edit]Hi Murry1975, I was just updating the page of national Irish broadcaster RTE Pulse, providing details of various shows that are not included. I have just seen that one of the pages has been deleted for a new show called Back2Basics. I was going to add a page. Are you aware that the show is national show on RTE. It is the first all viny show on RTE (for 20 years) and is now significantly more than a local show of insignificance for which it looks like it was deleted. I also understand it has significant international listeners. Is is possible to reinstate the page for the show. Regards, Roger P.S. Sorry as I saved I saw the comments on the show above. I can confirm that what is stated there is correct.
Charles Algernon Parsons's Nationality
[edit]Dingley doesn't give up:

Do you want to, or should I? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.2.213 (talk) 15:12, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
I added some information on Charles Algernon Parsons, and I just happened to note it was quickly removed, both last week and today. Why is this? Why do you want to remove references to Ireland? Parsons came from a famous Irish scientific & Engineering family, from a town named after them, 'Parsonstown'. Parsons is celebrated in Ireland, but yet a neutral reader would think he had little or no connection to Ireland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donn300 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- The fact is do you have references to add Ireland? He came from an Anglo-Irish back ground- mentioned and sourced. He was born in England, grow-up in Engalnd, studied in Ireland and England, and businesses were English. All sourced. Now how is he Irish? And yes he did have little connection with Ireland. Murry1975 (talk) 15:58, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Charels Parsons grew up in the family home in Ireland (in fact he also grew up in the family town, called "Parsonstown"! Parsonstown is now called Birr, in County Offaly (formerly known as King's County)). Charles and his brothers were tutored by eminent scholars working in his father's observatory at Birr Castle on the Western edge of the town. He then went to a good univesity in the capital, Trinity College Dublin, and later went to Cambridge. By contrast, what is is your view on the great philosopher G.E.M. Anscombe? She was born in Limerick, Ireland, but nobody says she was Irish (nor "Anglo-Irish"), she was a British person who happened to have been born in Ireland (her father was stationed there). There are countless examples of the same. Also, using the term "Anglo-Irish" does explain a bit more about a person's heritage, and social class, but in fact the "Anglo-Irish" were surprised to hear of themselves being described as a 'hyphenated Irish' person! This is because they themselves considered themselves as "Irish". At different stages of varying political debate and intensity some of the (Anglo-)Irish may have called themselves British ASWELL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donn300 (talk • contribs) 19:13, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Back2Basics Definition national or not?
[edit]Hi Murry1975, RTE Pulse is defined as national by RTE are they are the national broadcaster obviously, but also because the stations can be picked up national via the RTE Saorview service, and also UPC, so whilst digital coverage and UPC are not quite national Saorviews does cover the whole of the country. RTE also included reference to it being national radio in their media release. All their stations are national in some way as far as I'm aware. Thanks, Simon Simonjohnpalmer (talk) 20:35, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- "RTÉ Pulse is one of a suite of digital radio services from RTÉ available on digital radio (where available), on Saorview Channel 205, UPC channel 943 and the internet via the RTÉ Radio Player, which is available on all mobile devices", qoute from the cite you added, nothing about it being national.
- Its a digital service, or are you now going to claim because its on the internet its an international one like you have done before?
- I have asked you before to stop editing your own article. Murry1975 (talk) 20:43, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Murry1975, I only added references, I didn't alter text. Saorview is a national service, and RTE Pulse is national digital station i.e. you can get it wherever you live in the country and that's without having to resort to the internet. Yes they put "where available" after digital but they shouldn't have to put "nationally" after Saorview because they assume everyone knows it is national. RTE also included 'national radio' in the quote they wrote for me in their media release. If you don't want to put that then it's cool, no biggie. Thanks anyway. Simonjohnpalmer (talk) 20:57, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
Just checked Wikipedia's own definition of RTE Pulse https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/RTÉ_Pulse and it says in the info box "Broadcast Area: NATIONAL, Ireland". Maybe I'm being pedantic but I'd hate my page to contradict the main page for RTE Pulse ;) 109.255.90.92 (talk) 21:03, 20 January 2014 (UTC) That was me that added that last comment.

Dear Murray
[edit]I am the person who recently deleted a line from your entry on the Provisional IRA:
'"The United States includes them in the category of "other selected terrorist groups also deemed of relevance in the global war on terrorism"'
The source you quoted is the US State Department's Country Report on Terrorism. You have cited the (outdated)2004 report which included this section at the bottom. However this is not an official designation(unlike the FTO categorization),hence it was changed to "Other Groups of concern" in 2006 (http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/crt/2006/82738.htm)
and removed completely from all subsequent reports(latest is http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/crt/2012/209989.htm). This is the reason I deleted the offending line. Perhaps if you modified it to use the past tense it would be acceptable.
In any case, I was trying to help improve the accuracy of this entry and would appreciate it if you would be a little more courteous in
future(calling someone a "quack" and questioning their grasp of English is offensive and unnecessary). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.71.202.123 (talk) 12:52, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Antrim_forum.jpg/220px-Antrim_forum.jpg)
The Antrim Forum is a multi-purpose activity centre located in Antrim, Northern Ireland.[1] It opened in 1972 as the largest of its kind in Northern Ireland and still is to this day.[2] The Antrim Forum has been home to the Antrim Hockey Club since 1991.[3]During the 1980s it was a popular venue for concerts, hosting acts such as Ozzy Osbourne, Meat Loaf, Dio, Status Quo and Metallica.[4]

- I think you are failing to understand what makes a place/building/venue notable. Clear media coverage is one, not a list of where bands are preforming, or a mentioning in an article on a website or in a paper. This link here WP:GEOFEAT is the one that has to satisfied for buidlings
- Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments can be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance. They require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability
- So you have to prove significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability, for the article.
- And one phrase you use in your message to me sticks out
- "recreate my Antrim Forum article"
- We may create articles on here, but we dont own them, there is no my.
- BTW there was no big fight, we discussed from two different viewpoints, which is what is meant to happen.
- Hope this info helps, but I cant see significant coverage of the topic still. If you find it add it here, and I will help you put forward an article for creation. Murry1975 (talk) 12:46, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

RIC
[edit]Just realised you did a revert of the IP as I was editing the section, so just a heads up that my edit sumary is directed at them. Do we need "armed" in the lede? I removed it as the following sentence mentions "unarmed" which to me implies the RIC was armed, as many police services are. I also don't think we need to state the partition in the first sentence as it is mentioned in the last sentence of the paragraph where it gets a little more explanation so think it's unneeded, should also stop the IP. Mabuska (talk) 11:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- The lead isnt great, I think mentioning it was armed is needed- I will re-jig it later. The IP seems alittle confused :$ Will get back later. Cheers bud. Murry1975 (talk) 12:03, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Irish Free State map
[edit]The 1922 map is too small and its quality is horrible. And it's not even a 1922 map. It's a 1933 (1929-1938 to be more accurate) map just like the one I added. But the borders of Europe didn't really change between 1922 and 1938 so it doesn't really matter. The map I added shows the same thing, but it's bigger, has better quality and shows more than the old, small map. Look at the other pages. These kind of maps are not used anymore, it should have been changed already. --Emihunty (talk) 10:32, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
The old map is a 1922-1938 map and the one I added is also a 1922-38 map, since the borders of Europe didn't really change between 1922 and 1938. I just wrote 1933 on a whim. --Emihunty (talk) 12:11, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

List of foreign Premier League players
[edit]Please do some research first before you undo others changes. Nick Proschwitz is now on loan to Championship side Barnsley and Marko Marin has left Chelsea last Summer for FC Sevilla. I also didn't delete Proschwitz, but put his name at the right position according to the alphabetical order. Please be more thoroughly when you edit articles. DrunkenGerman (talk) 20:01, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Marko Marin is still a Chelse player, on loan to Sevilla, still primary club Chelsea, so you do the research. Murry1975 (talk) 20:10, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Please do read the introduction and requirements of the article before you edit. The list is not about where a player is somehow signed. The list is about capped players. Only players which have been capped in 2013/14 are listed with a "–14" at the seasons. And only players capped in 2013–14 and currently being members of a Premier League squad are in bold. Really poor work by you. DrunkenGerman (talk) 20:19, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Nope you cant read right,
- Note that seasons, not calendar years, are used. For example, "1992–95" indicates that the player has played in every season from 1992–93 to 1994–95, but not necessarily every calendar year from 1992 to 1995
- In bold:players who have played at least one Premier League game in the current season (2013–14), and are still at the clubs for which they have played. This does not include current players of a Premier League club who have not played a Premier League game in the current season
- In other words if is still signed to the club, and he is, he is listed as XXXX- still, but as he hasnt played this season you dont bold him.
- In your way if he plays for Chelsea when his loan expires he is 2012-13 and 2013-14, yet the above says 2012-14. Murry1975 (talk) 20:26, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Marko Marin has played no game in the Premier League in 2013-14, only in 2012-13. Thus the correct entry is 2012-13. If he would play yet a Premier League game in 2013-14, the entry would be changed to 2012-14. Pretty simple principle....DrunkenGerman (talk) 20:33, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Please do read the introduction and requirements of the article before you edit. The list is not about where a player is somehow signed. The list is about capped players. Only players which have been capped in 2013/14 are listed with a "–14" at the seasons. And only players capped in 2013–14 and currently being members of a Premier League squad are in bold. Really poor work by you. DrunkenGerman (talk) 20:19, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Can-Linn
[edit]Hi Murry, you undid my change in Can-Linn. Can means sing (imperative, 2nd person singular), linn means with us. So, why do you think "sing with us" is wrong and "to sing together" is correct? To sing together is canadh le chéile.
The cite in http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=ireland_to_be_represented_by_kasey_smith is wrong. -- MacCambridge (talk) 17:24, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi MacCambridge, it mat be not correct but until one of us two finds a source to say otherwise we have to leave it. I presume it was a translation mix-up, I would say Irish to French or German and then back into English on the the part of Eurovision. Give me a day to try and find a correct translation in an article. Cheers. Murry1975 (talk) 17:55, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- A quick search isnt too helpful. Murry1975 (talk) 18:14, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Well, sorry to insist. ;) The best source for a translation is a good dictionary. The best Irish dictionaries (Ó Dónaill, de Bhaldraithe) are available online. Irish verb can: http://breis.focloir.ie/en/fgb/can (Irish verbs are cited in most dictionaries by their root form, i.e. 2nd person imperative singular, so can = sing! Here's the conjugation of that verb: http://breis.focloir.ie/en/gram/can Irish linn: http://breis.focloir.ie/en/fgb/le Linn is a pronominal form of le = with (see: http://breis.focloir.ie/en/gram/le) so linn = with us. -- MacCambridge (talk) 20:59, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

- I pointed out another article, thought we might have a discussion about it, but first thing you do is go off and change. That's quite silly. We should probably take this to the naming dispute page and please leave any pages in their current state until the issue has been discussed. Snappy (talk) 19:46, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
(edit conflict)Done on the UK article, your example is wrong, as per WP:DERRY, Londonderry City parliamentary constituency is a specific entity and should be named as such. While linking to counties and cities we use Derry for the city, no matter when in history.
IMOS then Snappy? Murry1975 (talk) 19:48, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Imos and I left a note on the UK/NI reg page too. Also there was an act of parliament specifying each county/city and its code, the act said Londonderry City - IU, that is what is being referenced in these articles. Snappy (talk) 19:54, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Unfortunately Snappy, another act states the name of the city as Londonderry not Derry. Murry1975 (talk) 20:15, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the curatorship you've done on the above article re: relationships. Unfortunately, I am extremely busy IRL and simply don't have the time (or the energy!) to respond to the objections being raised by Malik047 on the talk page. I also don't want this to just be an argument between me and him—right now it looks like I'm the only one making a 'consensus'. If you have a moment please drop a line there with your views; otherwise the silence will probably be taken as an inability to refute the points and the content will just be re-added. Thanks!

Wikihounding: Cease and desist immediately.
[edit]I recall you are the same editor who made implicit threats of wikihouding on my talk page recently. This is deemed a serious conduct violation by Wikipedia policy, as is clearly outlined by WP:STALKING, and especially when it is being coupled with tendentiousness. This appears to be an accurate description of your behavior on the McCann article's talk page, in particular. Indeed, your recent and sudden involvement in multiple unrelated talk page discussions in which I am active implies you are following through with the threats that you've issued. Your actions are being well-documented, and will be brought to the attention of a Wikipedia administrator if they continue. Malik047 (talk) 16:55, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Bring it to the admins attention, as per stalking, if an editor sees behavour which isnt in-line with policy he is perfectly permitted to follow the edits. And throwing around accusations of racism isnt permitted, whether they are specific or general, if they are unfounded.
- And I didnt threaten you, as was point out by another editor. You have continually shoved a POV on the two articles I, so go on WP:ANI is where to go, and it will save me filing it. Murry1975 (talk) 17:17, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a collection of random lists and facts. Its an encyclopedia, and these lists have a form. Maybe in a few years time he will have an article but not now and unfortunately we dont guess at these things. Murry1975 (talk) 19:04, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Gaelic football
[edit]Hello Murry1975,
I see you have removed my insert on the Gaelic football wiki to the Gaelic football rankings on the grounds that they are unofficial with no source. Nevertheless, I clearly stated that the rankings were unofficial and in the Gaelic football rankings page, the method used to calculate the rankings, in addition to the source of all information, are clearly described.
If you have any other concerns about linking a Gaelic football page to a unofficial Gaelic football ranking page, please let me know so that I can address them. In the meantime, if you can undo your delete, it would be appreciated.

Removing my links
[edit]Hello You removed my links the other day. I am sorry if you thought I was spamming. I was just inserting an external link to the page to a website that I thought was very relevant to the subject matter of page - ie: the page is about rivers and the website is also pertaining to rivers and seems to be earnestly researched and hardly inappropriate. I'm sorry that I put this information out in quick succession on a few pages and it obviously appeared to be spam to you! All I can say to you is that I acted in good faith and had no malicious or devious intention. I hope you could reverse the removals. Birdhillbilly (talk) 20:13, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Birdhillbilly, first of all welcome to wikipedia. I understand you acted in good faith but I am not going to reverse my removals on the basis that the generic site you listed adds nothing that isnt contained in the articles themselves. Sorry about that, but if you have a more specific site you know that could be added in my opinion. I see I wasnt the only one who removed your links, thats usually an indicator that links are not meant to be added by some guideline on here. Murry1975 (talk) 12:40, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Murry, while the link to http://www.dicklerfitz.com/ probably shouldn't be added to all of the individual river pages, I still think it would be a benefit if it were added to the Rivers of Ireland page. Within that page there are rivers listed that have no length details (let alone flow rate details!). Important rivers like the Inny, Boyle, Laune, Kings, Brosna have no lengths given! Some rivers have lengths given but with no references or sources - Moy, Liffey, Slaney. The river Suck has a wrong length given with no reference and an external link to data from an 1846 source. Other pages like the river Lee has a reference that leads nowhere. Also I think a link http://www.dicklerfitz.com/lakes/ would be of benefit to the List of loughs of Ireland as it supplies extra info: perimeter lengths, lake volumes etc. Birdhillbilly (talk) 20:21, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Murry. I left a talk message above (20:21, 20 May 2014 (UTC)) stating why I might insert links to those pages. I was hoping you would set me straight on the matter. - as you can see I am no wizard at this! - However, since I got no reply in over a week, I decided to insert the links as mentioned in the above message. Why did you not reply to the above talk message? Now all I have for my troubles are warnings about being blocked and websites being blacklisted! You do understand that the only agenda I have is the furthering of knowledge regarding our waterways, which I am passionate about! Birdhillbilly (talk) 08:26, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry to disappoint you about me not getting back, I pop on and off this some days alot some days very little (or even lately not at all). The point of the matter is that the link is to a site that doesnt under scrutiny pass WP:RS or fails WP:ELNO. Also as far as I can make out you might be adding it for its own benefit. Murry1975 (talk) 09:02, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Couple of edits regarding Ireland and its territories
[edit]Demographics of atheism. I've been 'bold' and reverted your edit. I gave a reason why in the edit comment thing: we need to ensure the readers aren't confused, as the statistics specifically concern the Republic of Ireland alone, and not the whole of the island, which is also called Ireland. Also, the link pointed to a disambiguation page, rather than the page on Religion in the Republic of Ireland.
As for the Counties of Ireland, as six counties are a part of the United Kingdom, this article must also belong as part of that category. That the other counties are there too, the reverse argument could be made regarding the Republic of Ireland versus Ireland (the island): 26 of the counties don't belong to Ireland (the Republic). I'd be interested to hear if you have any suggestions, if you still protest at the idea of including the article in both the Republic and UK categories. One possible compromise might be to exclude Northern Ireland from the article all together. There is an article already dedicated to Counties of Northern Ireland anyway, I believe. We could then rename the article Counties of the Republic of Ireland.
I apologise, as I'm not aware of the previous conversation you've suggested. That's not to say it didn't happen - I'm just not aware of it!
I've enrolled here recently, so I'm not sure this will show up. I've not logged in. --75.176.181.60 (talk) 03:30, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi. You've undone my edits now three times. The first time, you offered rationale in your edit comment. I answered that by explaining here (and in my edit comment when I undid your edit) that there is clear ambiguity in this table: the territory which uses the name of the island (Republic of Ireland) is not the same as the territory which is the whole island. The table strongly suggested (before my edit) that the whole island follows the statistics listed. That is not the case. The statistics very definitely apply solely to the territory of the Republic of Ireland alone.
The wikilink also directed to a disambiguation page, rather than to the page relating to Religion in the Republic of Ireland.
The Manual of Style/Ireland-related articles page is, apparently, a set of guidelines. Here is what Wikipedia says about guidelines:
Guidelines are sets of best practices that are supported by consensus. Editors should attempt to follow guidelines, though they are best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.
So these guidelines suggest:
Use "Ireland" for the state except where the island of Ireland or Northern Ireland is being discussed in the same context. In such circumstances use "Republic of Ireland"
So I've inadvertently followed the guidelines anyway: Northern Ireland is being discussed in the same context (as a part of the United Kingdom in this case).
I've also attempted to follow the Wikipedia guidelines for editing - a "bold --> discuss --> edit -->" cycle. However, so far, you've not followed that process yourself.
This will be my last edit to the article for a while. Of course, you will probably undo my edit again, but I have more important things to waste my time on! Following guidelines here on dispute resolution, I am taking a break from this specific article. Perhaps this will give you time to reflect and perhaps help me come to some kind of solution which we both feel will aid the Wikipedia site, and which we will both agree to.
I feel the article was misleading to readers, which is why I made the edit to begin with. Hopefully you can see your way to replying here in the next day or two? I will come back to the article at some point in the next few days probably. If my edits have been undone again, I will follow the guidelines and request an administrator to help out. Thanks.
--75.176.181.60 (talk) 00:56, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- The ONLY mention of Ireland on that page is the state, so NI isnt being mentioned at all, yet alone in the same context, its a table of states so NI wouldnt be on it anyhow. Also sign in while editing.
- I also notice you seem to edit UK instead of Britain/Great Britain in articles, because its the states name, dito for Ireland so we use that. If you cant see the double standard of your edits. Now if you wish we could bring this up at IMOS. Murry1975 (talk) 06:06, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for replying. It's a table of states, yes - so we would need to be unambiguous, to let the readers know that it's the state of Ireland specifically that the table is referring to. Many people I have met in my life who are confused because they think the whole of the island is a single country. The Wikipedia exists to enlighten people on facts, so we should surely endeavour to bring to them the information that there are two sovereign states currently in Ireland. Again, I think common sense should prevail here, as the guidelines suggest. Northern Ireland is mentioned in the context of the UK. Its statistics (although I haven't checked) would include Northern Ireland.
I have no idea what you think my other edits regarding the UK and the name of an island have to do with this. If anything, I'm being completely consistent with those edits by referring to a specific political entity, rather than an island. For example, Ireland & Britain are islands; the Republic of Ireland and the UK are sovereign states.
Anyway, have we any common ground here regarding this dispute? Perhaps we could move on from there. --75.176.181.60 (talk) 04:59, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Ireland is the name of the state. If you want to misinform people of its name go somewhere else, the guideline exist to help, you edits exist to push your point of view. There is no mention of NI in the artilce, and its a list of states, if you have not constructive to add stop adding it. The name of the specific polical entity is Ireland, if you have a problem with that, as you seem to have, contact http://www.oireachtas.ie and ask them to change it.

Yeah there are times when I read an article and think "minority hating nationalist is more appropriate", but I step back. I believe in society working for society, and to an extent wikipedia is such, its a society of editors using their varing abilities to contribute to an encyclopedia for society, it has rules, guidelines and formal processes like all societies. If you want to contribute please feel free to follow these, but like all societies should, break these and the society will remove you from it. Its not a democracy on here and several other things.

As I currently applying for positions I needed the reference removed urgently. Apologies for doing this myself, but I could not get an independent third party to do it quickly enough. Regards, Simon.

Deleted text from Leixlip: Notable people
[edit]Hi, I've restored Richard Guinness and Matt Goff to Leixlip's notable people.
1. Richard Guinness has been on the page for over a year. Why remove it now?
2. Matt Goff has his own page, and a local bridge is named after him. Why remove him but retain the likes of Enda Murphy who, to be fair, isn't going to have any landmarks named after them anytime soon?
Anyway, that's the reasoning. If you disagree, please answer questions posed rather than escalating to an edit-war.
Thanks.
- Richard Guinness doesnt have an article (the standard for notability) and Matt Goff wasnt linked to an article, and BTW Byrne plays for Arsenal Ladies, not the PL team. Guinness should go. Murry1975 (talk) 19:17, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed on Byrne; it was a pre-existing error that I did not catch. However, rather than delete the Matt Goff reference immediately it would have been polite of you to consult with me, or at least do a quick Google search of him. You were too quick to edit IMHO.
- I agree that a Wikipedia page is a standard for notability, but this metric is imperfect. Wikipedia is not perfect. This is acutely true in the case of 18th century businessmen. Some pages are not yet written. Richard founded Guinness with his brother Arthur and, seeing as he lived on Main Street in Leixlip, likely played a role in the choice of Main St in Leixlip as the location of the original brewery. His page does not exist yet, but he is a notable person in Leixlip's history. I think you're playing your cards too quickly here... again.
- I have no reason to "consult" with you, the evidence needs to be added by you. As for Richard Guinness, his page doesnt exist, so the idea that he is notable doesnt follow, your logic of not written yet,and imperfect metric, doesnt show how by consensus it should remain.

change to Ireland MOS
[edit]I agree that it isn't necessary to remind users that these MOS pages only apply to the English language wikipedia nevertheless I think it is useful for new editors to include this reminder. The justification for many of the policies on this page is that the policies only apply to the English language wikipedia and thus the policies are tilted to suit English language speakers. This is different from the practice in some parts of the Republic of Ireland where many documents try to be more even-handed between English and Irish speakers. I think it might even be useful to put a bannner accross the page confirming that:

Commonwealth of Ireland
[edit]I am just wondering why you undid the edits on the Irish Free State article and on the Dominion article. The republic of Ireland was the successor of the Commonwealth of Ireland. The Commonwealth of Ireland was when the constitution of Ireland was established and had loyalty to the crown.

Undoing informational edits
[edit]Hi Murry1975,
understanding both the history of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland I can see your views on Carl Frampton being "British" as Northern Ireland is technically part of the UK, however Frampton represents both communities, he does not walk to the ring in the union jack flag or the tricolour, he is Northern Irish, because he is from Northern Ireland. As for the rest of what I posted I put my references there, and my sources have been cited, everything I posted is true and I felt relevant to the article, why you deleted it I have no clue, as you cited zero sources. Merely voicing my opinion here, my edits were informational and unbiased, whereas yours seem to be biased towards claiming Frampton as a Brit, which he hasn't even done himself, in fact he even said himself he was proud to box for Ireland so actually, technically he boxes for Ireland, but factually he is Northern Irish. That is a fact, you can't dispute that. Anyways cheers, and please don't revert my edits, I am trying to edit without bias here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluelightning40 (talk • contribs) 03:33, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- No "fact" you added shows Northern Irish, the fact is he boxes under a British pro liecence, is considered as reason enough, here and [2]. You state "he is Northern Irish, because he is from Northern Ireland", this simply is not true, it is vastly more complex than that and hours have been spent discussion the subject on here. The section added aswell is not fit for the lead, and aswell the daily mail is not a WP:RS. To confuse matters you add his manager calling him Irish into the lead. Now Irish describes anyone or thing from the island, it can also mean someone who holds Irish citizenship. Sources can be found for British here, and here for example. And ALL the fight tables across wikipedia use the union flag. I look forward to your accurately cited addition or corresponding discussion.
- And for the record I am Irish, very much no basis for your "seem to be biased towards claiming Frampton as a Brit", I like his boxing style and could not give a hoot what his nationality is, but I edit from facts and by guidelines on here, so my nationality can be totally obscured by the facts I enter- which it should. So now that you ideas the fail WP:RS and WP:OR, as well as the fact that Norhern Irish can also contravene WP:NPOV I have removed it. Murry1975 (talk) 10:31, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
In this link you sent me here he is called Northern Irish. He is only called British by scott quigg. Frampton has never once called himself British — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluelightning40 (talk • contribs) 12:19, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- "The unbeaten British pair have been constantly linked with a domestic dust-up as their professional careers have continued to soar in the last few years. " The wordss of the beeb. Again you have used poor sources on a BLP I ask you this time to remove them yourself. Also you edits I have browsed over are mainly unencyclopedic POV fluff. Murry1975 (talk) 12:22, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Well the article calls him both Northern Irish and British, so it contradicts itself. Anyways, saying he is Irish upsets the loyalist community, and calling him British upsets the republican community, so seeing as how Frampton is himself a symbol of neutrality, I think Northern Irish is best suited for him, seeing as how he is from Northern Ireland. I have moved the edit I made on the quote from McGuigan calling him Irish as you are right, placed there it contradicts and can confuse a reader. We can compromise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluelightning40 (talk • contribs) 18:26, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Bluelightning40 it doesnt matter what either you or I think, he is the British title holder and omitting that from the lead is unencyclopdic. Just as using an unreliable source, which btw can be removed as a BLP violation, he is neutral so he married a catholic? WTF? When is that a condition of nuerality? Its what is normal in every free society, marry who you choose. It would be biased if he refused on religious grounds but it does not make a point of neutrality.
- Speaking of BLP violations, "implying" that someone is an Irish republican or adding incorrect inforamtion on purpose are violations, these will get you blocked if they are repeated and kept up.
- Also sign your comments on talkpages with ~~~~ thanks. Murry1975 (talk) 15:15, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Well, Murray1975, the thing is in Northern Ireland there tends to be a division between the catholics and protestants, the catholics see themselves as Irish republicans, and the protestants tend to be seen as British loyalists, so very rarely does a catholic marry a protestant as they don't get along well. And in addition to wearing pure white or pure black on his shorts, frampton does NOT wear the tricolor or the union jack, so he has become a symbol of neutrality to the north. And eammon O'kane is from a republican area in northern ireland, and he wears the rosary on his way into the ring, so he would see himself as Irish. Frampton however represents neither side. That is one of the things that makes him special. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluelightning40 (talk • contribs) 16:03, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- Are you really failing to understand sourcing? You cant use a tabloid as a sand alone source in a BLP. What you have typed above is know as original research. And again his marraige doesnt show neutrality. Murry1975 (talk) 16:10, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Mitchell St. vs Parnell St.
[edit]Hi Murray1975, You've now twice reverted an edit I made to Clonmel relating to an image of a street which is mislabeled, despite the fact that I provided evidence (https://www.google.ie/maps/@52.3532316,-7.7004521,3a,75y,251.92h,80.18t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sAYPxBh8GXNndPeeuFX3bCg!2e0) to show that my edit was correct. I happen to have lived in Clonmel for my entire life and unless the street was renamed yesterday and all of the maps are wrong, I can confidently say that the image is of Mitchell Street, and not Parnell St. which adjoins to it. Mitchell St. is locally known for being a pedestrianised street as you can see in the image. Parnell St. is not pedestrianised. It is blatantly obvious to anyone who has lived in Clonmel that it is Mitchell St. and not Parnell St.
Here is a StreetView image which actually shows the street sign: https://www.google.ie/maps/@52.3533044,-7.6999538,3a,75y,284.54h,84.49t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sOV00TndDuwWrBOWqovL1GQ!2e0
I won't edit the page again for fear of getting wrongfully banned over something so trivial, but I hope you'll reconsider your erroneous reversion...

Map
[edit]Murry, you seem to have got hold of the wrong end of the stick regarding my edits of Manchester derby: I wasn't trying to suggest that Old Trafford is within the boundaries of the City of Manchester but rather that the map shows those boundaries, with the ground clearly outside them, rather than Greater Manchester as a whole which would include Bolton, Wigan etc. Haldraper (talk) 14:17, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Emmet Dalton reversed edits
[edit]Hi Murry1975, I am baffled by rv.s on 14 Dec. of my 24 Nov. edits without comment. Elsewhere similar edits have not been reved. Fact is Dalton like most other voluntary recruits, were not commissioned into the regular British Army but certainly in Ireland joined Irish regiments of the temporary New British Service Army. Why is it a problem with being clear about this? His image does not suffer in any way. Implying he was in the Regular British Army (=British military) may appear to enhance his image, but it is technically incorrect and misleading. I intend to re-enter my edits. Should there be relevant objections, please let's discuss them on the talk page. Thank you. Osioni (talk) 19:35, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- There were edit summaries used, WP:EASTEREGG. Murry1975 (talk) 16:09, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
- OK thanks, got it, I did not recognize the term first time. Regarding the very unspecific term "British military", the term "British New Army" (= i.e. link Kitchener's Army)" is both clearer and correct in the case of the National Volunteers, which I propose using instead.
