1934 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Hi, I want you to read this . It's from FIFA.com, the most reliable sources and which confirms that the team who played as Mandatory Palestine in 1934 World Cup qualifiers is the direct predecessor for the current Palestinian national football team.--Uishaki (talk) 21:25, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, this shows affilated since 1998 and Isreal 1929. Both founded in the same year 1928. But please discuss this at the football project page for a wider community view. Thanks again. Murry1975 (talk) 21:32, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Tyson Fury

I'm new to wikipedia, so I haven't a clue what the message:

"(Reverted good faith edits by Sweeney581 (talk): As per pervious. (TW)) (undo | thank)"

means, but why did you change what I'd written? Sweeney581 (talk) 14:56, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

It means I revert it to read what it previously read, as per the talkpage and consensus.

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=479205&cat=boxer shows British

http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/sport/story/203415.html# Calls him British

Also linking Ireland to Irish isnt done in the modern era (post independence).Murry1975 (talk) 15:06, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

http://www.irish-boxing.com/2012/07/tyson-fury-stripped-of-irish-heavyweight-title/ Makes interesting reading, will add it to the tp. Murry1975 (talk) 15:16, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer. I made the change after nobody replied to my comments in the talk page. Boxrec only ever lists one nationality, and there are lots of news articles that call him Irish. If you don't object, I'll change it back to my version tomorrow? As for his title being stripped, that was because he subsequently fought under a British license (which he needed to do to fight in England), not because he didn't qualify as Irish. (I don't know if this talk page or the Tyson Fury talk page is the correct place to discuss this) Sweeney581 (talk) 15:16, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

I object, he boxes as a British boxer, the link above shows how this lost him the Irish title, he cant fight for British titles with an Irish licience, but he still can fight in the UK with an Irish one, there are plenty of Irish boxers in Austrlia,the US and UK who fight under irish ones. Also the reason why nobody replied is, as you also done here, we post at the bottom of talkpages, a stale discussion line from over 18 months ago. Post at the bottom or on recent discussions, if they are not there start a new one. Murry1975 (talk) 15:24, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

So I should have put this under the 1934 bit? He can fight in Britain with an Irish license, but it's easier with a BBBofC license because you don't have to deal with the foreign boxer requirements. Sweeney581 (talk) 15:41, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Then it his choice of conveince to remain a British boxer, and on wikipedia thats what he should remain. PS dont worry about the order I will sort it later bud. Murry1975 (talk) 15:43, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Your comment

I just find it very hard to believe he is watching every single page I have just edited plus the fact that he reverted every single one of my edits without a single word to me on my talk page not to mention he accused me of POV in one of his edit summaries, not a very good experience, it kind of puts me off from editing. ÓCorcráin (talk) 22:06, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I have added more on his page. Yes he has, in my dealing with him, near enough all Irish politcal articles covered on his watchlist, he is a decent enough guy and discussion is the only way. Edit a football article or something unrelated, dont edit war, its Irish politics and can end up getting messy. Murry1975 (talk) 22:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah ok, I retracted my accusation which I wrote when I was frustrated on seeing all my edits reverted. I must assume good faith after all. ÓCorcráin (talk) 23:11, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Mulgrew and Commons. I work for Celtic Fc. I know these lads. I know they had the kids out of wedlock. It's a fact. It's on their twitter. Charlie even got arrested for abuse to his child. Facts are online. Check for yourself ! Now fuck off. I know I am right. I will called Krissy and Chico right now.happy? From.harrybhoy67. I know more about Celtic than you will ever know so leave the facts to me sunshine .

I've taken care of it Murry. SonofSetanta (talk) 15:18, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Harry Baxter

Harry Baxter was born in Kilkenny (Ryder p69). You've obviously got an idea so fill yer boots. SonofSetanta (talk) 13:43, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

I would put County Kilkenny. The sentence is: "Born in Kilkenny, he was the fourth generation of his family to serve in the British Army." That's all. I would do it myself but I'm grafting away on the UDR stuff. Pity we hadn't got a good image of Baxter. I'll have a wee rake about. SonofSetanta (talk) 13:57, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

COI

Accusing someone of COI without explaining what it is that you think the conflict is, is bad faith. COI applies where a person may benefit personally from something. You haven't even gone anywhere near establishing that. Nor have you addressed the core question, which is about bibliographic accuracy. I see you are a relatively new editor, so you be forgiven, but you have been heavy-handed in your assumptions and have not backed it up with relevant argument. -- Evertype·✆ 13:12, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Micheal, I have indeed backed-up my point. You are trying to conform MOS here to mirror the MOS your publishing company use. Until consensus is reached, please dont revert. Bibliographic accuracy can co-exist with commonname policy, linking non-English names to the article shouldnt be done, its English wiki. The average reader would have to follow every link to find out actually where they are published and this in essence is unencyclopedic. Misplaced Pages is meant to be informative to many different levels of knowledge and understanding, a 💕 for the masses, most people in Ireland dont know where Cathair na Mairt is, and the general poplulation has been exposed to a least 9 years of Irish, so I dont expect some one from rural China to grasp it either.

I will read over some articles and get back with a proposal that hopefully will suit all. Thanks for taking the time to reply here. Murry1975 (talk) 13:53, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Be careful.

Be mindful when reverting/reporting vandalism. This recent revert you made is not vandalism and is actually a proper grammatical correction. only (talk) 14:02, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Daniel Devine

Okay, no bother. I assumed that as he stated he no longer wants to be considered for Northern Ireland's national team - opting instead for the Republic, that the ROI would be his designated flag. Sorry for reverting your edit. I'll go and change his flag on the Inverness CT 'current season' page. Cheers. Woodlandscaley (talk)

Anon IP

An accusation of sockpuppetry?. Pretty serious stuff for a new IP... --HighKing (talk) 14:54, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

If only there was some sort of evidence — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.198.223.107 (talk) 18:04, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

lol, new, lol, good one :)

Both Zoombox and this IP arent new, as their knowledge of wiki proceses shows, and the admins at AN/I quite rightly picked up on it, both hey we could be the same guy! Actually we do have a bit in common bud, both Irish third-level educated dyslexics who edit in the same area and gnome it with IMOS. The IP is wikistalking my edits now, I have left a message for him to stop, if he doesnt I will report it, then the IP will get blocked and the actual account that uses it would get blocked too due to this. The admins will get a collatteral unblock request and hey BINGO. Murry1975 (talk) 15:01, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
