== Reply to ANI ==

I was going to reply on the ANI, but as it's closed now I'll reply here. With regards to your comment, uninvolved is not unaware. The Troubles perennially appears on ANI which I have on my watch list and I tend to avoid contributing to those discussions, or any of the ArbCom sanctioned areas, but I do make a habit of reading through them. So yes I am aware of the issues surrounding those various articles and that awareness keeps me from getting burned by those same issues. ] (]) 08:25, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

== Captain Lightfoot ==

Ah yes, you're right. The sentence does actually utilize multiple context's using Ireland as pre-state and then the state. Apologies. ] ] 14:32, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
:A friendly heads up. I can see at this article that you reverted several times with different editors and an anon IP - but you were also in breach of ] which you may have resulted in a block if reported. Don't get drawn into edit wars - it happens very easily even to "experienced" editors. --] (]) 13:57, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

::Thanks, Though I thought I was free to revert anon IP's? But feel free to help me. The anon IP has quite a long edit history. Why they have never set up an account is beyond me.] (]) 14:03, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

:::You are free to revert vandalism, reverting someone in an edit dispute isn't vandalism. The reverts on that article are edit warring, not vandalism reverting. ] ] 14:46, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

::::Even if it is an unregistered account? I thought 3RR is over 24hrs though I admit that 5 edits over 5 days is still edit warring, and 2 of those edits were rightly against the edits of you gents.] (]) 14:58, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
:::::There's no such thing as "rightly" - especially if you don't explain *why* you are reverting. You didn't give any explanation, you just reverted. That's also a reason to open a discussion on the Talk page. Anon IP's have as much rights to edit (except on any articles covered by The Troubles I believe) as anybody else, and this article isn't covered by The Troubles. --] (]) 19:25, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
:::::Also be aware that there is no such rule as "I can do 3 reverts in 24 hours, but no more". An admin can block you for less, or can take into account a "slow" edit war, etc. I've fallen foul of this myself in my early years, and I've the scars (and block log) to prove it. --] (]) 19:27, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

::::::HK, you need to tone it down. You have kicked people of your talkpage for petty less, ok? I believe I did leave an edit summary following every revert. I reverted your edit, and you seemingly agreed with me. So if you noticed this IP making the same edit, why not help me out? The IP's edits were against IMOS, hence why I made the revert. I can't do anymore. I'm not going to chase some anon IP.] (]) 19:39, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
:::::::Hey, I'm trying to help you here... I've the scars for the exact same behaviour you've just exhibited, and I wish someone had helped me out before I got too entrenched in a battlefield mentality in the early years. I'm not trying to take any particular "tone", I'm trying to save you time and grief. Believe me .. but if you'd rather I not, let me know. No worries, and no offense taken, etc.
:::::::Just FYI, you didn't revert my edit, because I didn't edit ] (I'm taking a sabbatical from any ] edits). I actually didn't see your edits till earlier today. Chances are, had I seen them, I'd have reported the anon IP - but then *you* might have been blocked too (depending on the admin) for your 5 edits. --] (]) 20:20, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
::::::::My mistake it was Murry1975. 3RR applies to 3 edits over 24hrs. The edits I made were justified and I'm sure you can see that. If you think my edits were incorrect then join a discussion or report me. As I recall you were one of the squabble that had me blocked first time so don't think you are doing me any favours now.] (]) 20:23, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
::::::::You only think they're justified, and some may agree with you, but it's still edit warring. And it doesn't matter if the other editor(s) are IP addresses that doesn't change anything on Misplaced Pages (the encyclopedia anyone can edit.) The only time breaking 3RR is acceptable is when reverting vandalism, and someone disagreeing with your interpretation is extremely far away from vandalism. Oh and you can be blocked for violating the spirit of the rule if not the letter, it's happened many times. ] ] 01:00, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

::::::::::Sound advice from seasoned pro's. What I really need is a wiki friend to do my reverting for me. Time. ] (]) 01:55, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
{{od}}Listen to Canterbury Tail, they now what they are on about and are pretty even handed. Though in regards to your "wiki friend" comment: we've suffered cabals doing that, with some instructing newbies via emails on what to do (which I once got a copy of, however unfortunately lost it), and it was quite disruptive for genuine editors but it has largely ended as of the past year, so there is less edit-warring between groups who would thus avoid 1RR and 3RR. Once you learn how Misplaced Pages works properly an how to do things right, you may make progress in some of the things you campaign for without needing "wiki friend"s. ] <sup>]</sup> 00:37, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

== Disruptive editing ==

If you continue your disruptive single purpose editing with regards to ], especially knowing you don't have consensus as per the talk page, you will be blocked for disruptive editing. Since your account is a single purpose account solely based upon editing around Derry it is likely the block could be indefinite. ] ] 13:21, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
:Seeing as Dubs boy , a block of some form is merited. ] <sup>]</sup> 21:51, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
::This is your final warning, if you continue your disruptive editing regarding the name of the city of Derry then you will be blocked. ] ] 22:33, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

::Slow? Its at a snail's pace. Its a factual edit! Why would you not want a factual remark in an encyclopedia? Go away.] (]) 12:45, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
::: @ ], with use edit summary ''Company use Londonderry. talkpage please''. Bye SPA. ] (]) 13:02, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

:::::Murry, company refer to the city as Londonderry, that is pretty clear in my edit summary and Canterbury us aware of the edit. Not sure why you are running a tally system on my edits when you yourself are an BI / IMOS Trojan, with dubious edits and tag teaming with sock Highking so please stay off my page and never return.] (]) 13:37, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

::::::And as I stated in my edit, company using Londonderry is irrelevant, on Misplaced Pages we use Derry and I kept that in there as Derry in my edit. ] ] 15:51, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

::::::Canterbury, that was not a dig at you, this is Murry1975, bringing up an event that you were already aware of, almost as if Murry1975 and Highking were in cahoots and trying to get me blocked. I have no issue with your revert, only with Murry1975 and his sniping.] (]) 16:09, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

== Thin Ice ==

Given your history returning to WP solely to troll HighKing's ANi appeal was a bad idea, by now you should have understood that the ice is thin when it comes to this kind of stalking behaviour in the ]/] area.
