Thanks for the message - I didn't look at the times when I edited and didn't realise we were talking about a matter of minutes, so perhaps a little too quick off the mark! Good work on the rapid addition of sources and improvement, cheers. Lactical (talk) 17:10, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello again. I think you probably know by now that while we welcome and appreciate your contributions, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

AN/I

Best to refrain from making anymore statements. You've given your defence and editors have responded, and further comments will only get more responses to those comments resulting in prolongated discussions that people will skim over when making their decision. Wait until Calill or whoever comes along and makes a definite decision on the matter, and if it goes against you, you always have the right to appeal. Mabuska 15:00, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. Will do. SonofSetanta (talk) 15:01, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Drumcree conflict may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• others aren’t--> marches take place in the town. Throughout the 20th century, the police force (](RUC) was also almost wholly Protestant.<ref name="Mulholland"/>

Speedy Deletion tags

I am entitled as an editor, never mind being an administrator, to remove CSD tags that are inappropriate. The 'nonsense' tag applies only to things like 'actor formal house judicially enterprise wigwam soup' or 'uyytryt yutytyttyrrrr'. If the text is coherent (or obviously foreign), it does not fall under the 'nonsense' criterion. This article is quite coherent. I am suggesting that you remove the tag yourself, and if you have a problem with the article, that you raise it on the talk page. I also suggest that you read the criteria for speedy deletion.

Your recent editing history at Shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
