Misplaced Pages

September 2013

This is your last warning. The next time you add unsourced material to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Martin McGuinness, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Murry1975 (talk) 16:28, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

I made a factual change, that is all. The information was incorrect! I corrected it!

The articles fall under a 1 revert per 24 hour period, I suggest you revert before you get blocked from editing. Murry1975 (talk) 16:36, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Why would I get blocked from editing when I'm putting up factual information??? As I said before, the info was incorrect, I corrected it!

The information is incorrect, as they are Northern Irish politicians and are sourced and referenced as such. Your edits are disruptive and will lead to a block. Murry1975 (talk) 16:50, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

My information is correct, as even the dogs in the street know that when you're born in Northern Irish you are in fact Northern Irish, and a citizen of the UK and Northern Ireland! ie. a subject of her royal highness the Queen!

That is of no importance, as it is not a description of nationality but self-identify (see MOS:IDENTITY). Allow me to introduce myself, as one of many admins who has been asked to look at blocking you for disruption. If you continue edit-warring there's no doubt it's going to happen. If you're lucky it might even be prevented. The first thing you need to do is agree to stop making the same changes. Then, read the manual linked earlier. Then read WP:EW. Thanks. -- zzuuzz 17:08, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Then go ahead and block me if I've done something wrong, which I haven't! I've read the MOS:Identity and I've done nothing wrong! By my edit being changed back to an incorrect fact repeatedly that person should be blocked!!!! I don't tell people I'm American just because I wish I was from California!! I tell people I'm Irish, because I was born in the Republic of Ireland!

My intervention here is primarily to prevent you being blocked. I do not care what you change or what you write (within reason), but you cannot continue doing it repeatedly in the same manner. You did read those links did you? Do you think Gerry Adams has no basis to describe himself as Irish? -- zzuuzz 17:32, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

He has no basis to describe himself as Irish indeed! He is Northern Irish! I have contacted both users who insist on changing my edits to ask why.

Excellent. However you were warned about edit warring so have been blocked. You would normally now get a template like {{uw-3rrblock}}. -- zzuuzz 17:47, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Under the Irish Constitution both Adams and McGuinness are Irish citizens, so that nulls your point. If you have a problem with this write to your local TD. Article 2;

• "It is the entitlement and birthright of every person born in the island of Ireland, which includes its islands and seas, to be part of the Irish Nation. That is also the entitlement of all persons otherwise qualified in accordance with law to be citizens of Ireland."

They are Northern Irish! They were born in Northern Ireland! The fact that they call themselves "Irish" is their personal choice! Fair play to them! But alas they are "Northern Irish"!

Nope, WP:CONSENSUS for the guidelines here and contact your TD not wikipedia if you dont agree with the Constitution. Also a cautionary word, when your block is over editing either article in the same way, because of their nature, will result in another longer block. If you want help I will offer it, if you want to use here for your opinion, neither I nor the community will help, or tolerate you. Murry1975 (talk) 18:13, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Well I hope the other perpetrators of this "Edit Warring" have also been blocked! Otherwise I'll gladly take another block because I will be changing it back if they haven't! The only solution would be to delete my account, which I'm not bothered by at all, I just don't like seeing INCORRECT information!

Then stop typing it. Murry1975 (talk) 18:28, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something silly.

I have to keep changing it, it's INCORRECT!!!!!!!! They're Northern Irish(British)! If you quack it won't make you a duck!!!!!!!!!!

It's like the fuckin Nazi party up in here!

As an Irishman I'm highly offended that a terrorist from up the north is being associated with my country! Both of them! I don't care what other editors or moderators have to say on the matter! If they want to block me fine. As soon as the block lapses I'll edit it to how it should be! So they may as well delete me instead!

Troubles restrictions

The article Gerry Adams, along with other articles relating to The Troubles, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a previous Arbitration Enforcement case that closed in October 2007, and was amended by community consensus in October 2008. The current restrictions are: All editors on Troubles-related articles are directed to get the advice of neutral parties via means such as outside opinions. All articles related to The Troubles, defined as: any article that could be reasonably construed as being related to The Troubles, Irish nationalism, and British nationalism in relation to Ireland falls under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per day). When in doubt, assume it is related. Clear vandalism, or edits by anonymous IP editors, may be reverted without penalty Editors who violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense. If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the guidelines laid out in the above link. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it on this talk page first. Thank you.

I would advise you to take heed of what other editors are saying to you, the whole area regarding anything to do with The Troubles is very severely monitored by admins, if you continue to edit war you will not last long here as you will just end up with an indefinite block.

So be it, but I can guarantee you that you will get blocked, but as an Irishman myself born in the 6 counties, I never had a British passport or a Northern Irish passport, but in fact I have the same type of passport as you an Irish one and I'm every bit as Irish as you claim to be. Read Bunreacht na heireann and educate yourself on who can get an Irish passport. Mo ainm~Talk 20:42, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
