Revision as of 03:33, 22 August 2005
- i myself am a fenian and like most fenians i think that brits are a bunch of gobshites.
Misplaced Pages has a policy of not allowing provocative usenames that may cause offence to other users. You name is likely to fall foul of that policy. I suggest that you change it. Otherwise there is a likelihood that the name will be changed by Misplaced Pages itself. FearÉIREANN

- If anyone thinks this name is offensive leave a message on this page.Otherwise I will not change it.--Fenian Swine 01:00, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- What will simply happen is that people will complain to admins because they think your name is an attack on 'fenians' (ie, republicans and nationalists), or an admin will see your name, decide it is a breach of Misplaced Pages naming rules, and either block you from Misplaced Pages for using an "offensive name", or automatically delete your name and move you to something else whether you like it or not. Names that are seen as provocative, offensive or attacking, are automatically deleted and frequently the user is blocked. If you want to risk being blocked from Misplaced Pages for a name that may cause offence to people, that is your right. But don't be surprised if you then end up blocked from being on Misplaced Pages or having your name forceably changed over your head. FearÉIREANN

- Give me an example of this(people complaining to administrators).Otherwise this is just a racist bombardment of the Republican movement.--Fenian Swine 17:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- You'd be well advised to listen. Your compatriot is just trying to help you. Deb 21:49, 8 August 2005 (UTC) PS. I'm not English.
- I am listening.Its just that no one would ever find my name offensive.Im clearly not slagging fenians considering I am one.--Fenian Swine 23:23, 8 August 2005 (UTC) P.S.I'm a Fenian and your not funny.
People regularly misunderstand names here. One user called himself Jesus saves. He was a born-again Christian. But Christians thought he was mocking christianity, eventually a complaint was lodged and his name was blocked. One user decided that my Irish name was threatening because he thought it meant fear eireann (ie, be afraid of me!). Your name is not offensive to me because I know what it means. But others, going by past history, will see it come on edits and presume that you are attacking fenians and that all your edits are anti-Irish, and so they may automatically rollback your edits, and follow everything you write. The trouble with sarcastic names is that you may mean it to mean one thing, but someone else may think it is something else. Or some admin may see it, deem it offensive and anti-Irish, and hit the block button. It isn't worth the hassle, mate. At least calling yourself 'The Fenian' or something would be less likely to cause trouble for yourself. FearÉIREANN\ 23:36, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Someone seriously offended by a name would surely check this page and see it's a sarcarstic pro-republican name! KEEP IT Tunney 22:27, 21 August 2005 (UTC).Cheers Tunney.--Fenian Swine 22:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Unwelcome?
I would like to know why I never got welcomed into the Wickie community and was never given a set of rules like other newbie's.Is this because of my highly controversial and offensive;) name.--Fenian Swine 03:00, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I've just reverted your recent edits to Terry Wogan, Gerry Adams, Michael Collins, and Johnny Giles because they all included the identical category line ], which means they all get classified under the "B"s. Please be a bit more careful with cut'n'paste and remember to put the person's actual name in the line! :) -- Arwel 01:25, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- You were a bit quick asking your question while I was typing my explanation! Cheers. -- Arwel 01:27, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Not sure what to make of your username. Reckon you'd do well to listen to FearÉireann as he knows wot's wot. Seeya - Pete C 01:48, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- It is'nt offensive in any way.Read my 'user page'.I'm not slagging fenian's.--Fenian Swine 01:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- Not saying it is (nor is FearÉireann, far as I can see). Just that you're going to wind up getting blocked. :-/ - Pete C 01:53, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
