To whom it may concern: I am using the Internet at the NY Public Library for the Performing Arts. I have never had this problem at other library branches. Thanks!El chulito 21:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Frente Amplio

I noticed that you had changed the political party affiliation of Larriva to just the socialist party, but if Frente Amplio is only Uruguayan, why is it listed on the Spanish wiki as being from Ecuador? -Yupik 12:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

If you are going to move or change article titles

1. Discuss it first and 2. do it properly via the "move" tab at the top.--Vintagekits 15:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Máire Nic an Bhaird

Sorry for reverting you at Máire Nic an Bhaird; I meant to revert Vintagekits' edit; dunno how I missed your intervening change. That said, I have just changed your re-edit a wee bit... jnestorius 17:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Background

Would you by any chance be of Puerto Rican and Guatemalan background?--Vintagekits 02:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Anglo-Irish War

I have seen you revert this away from Irish War of Independence citing POV as the reason. Can you please explain this?--Vintagekits 03:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I didnt mention you calling me a fenian (which if I was in a more sensitive mood could have called that a personal attack!!). Anyway, Tan War and Anglo-Irish War are both redirects to the correct page which is Irish War of Independence, so how can that be, as you say, "emotive, manipulative and POV" - if anything that shows me that you possibly do not have an indepth knowledge on the subject, and add that to you calling the PIRA "terrorist's" and this shows you could have a potentially biased POV.--Vintagekits 04:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Listen, bud: If I have a "potentially biased POV", you have an indisputable one, and you have corrupted numerous pages related to Northern Ireland or Northern Irish people with your pro-IRA slant. Do you think I haven't noticed the term "Óglaich" in the Gaelic translations of Irish names or your use of the term "Volunteer" which was sent to mediation and as far as I know never concretely resolved (if I am wrong and the term is approved, please just send me a link) or your overwhelming use of pro-republican/pro-IRA sites and media as your sources for decidedly non-encyclopaedic phraseology?? I am going to let your redirect of Anglo-Irish War to the other term slide, but I will keep an eye out for NPOV and if necessary we will go to the Administrator's noticeboard.

As far as "Fenian", I don't think undue sensitivity will ever be a problem for you. El chulito 05:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

"Bud", calling the IRA "terrorist" is POV, and if you cant see that then that is possibly the most worrying thing. 2. Volunteer is the correct term and is correctly used. If need any further information on the issue I suggest you read Military volunteer, Volunteer (Irish republican) and go also if you require further information (it should be noted that it is not proper wikiette to directly alter member to Volunteer and vice versa during mediation). and frinally back to 3. Tan War and Anglo-Irish War are both redirects to the correct page which is Irish War of Independence, so how can that be, as you say, "emotive, manipulative and POV"--Vintagekits 05:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Antoine MacGiolla Bhrighde

I see you highlighted a number of mistake in that article. I think you will find that they are there because Astrotrain reverted it to yesterdays version. Astreotrain seems to just log on and revert my edits (probably without reading them) simply to annoy me. I will revert to the version immediately prior to Astrotrain, so you can have a look at it from that point. regards.--Vintagekits 03:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

17 December 1983 Harrods bombing

Can you explain the revert on this page?--Vintagekits 06:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Volunteer

If you do not self revert each time you removed Volunteer and replaced with member whislt mediation is still on going then I am going to report you.--Vintagekits 06:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Begley

You made a number of edits on this page, can you please explain them.

1. You removed the reference to Volunteer, you know this is against mediation, why do you keep doing this?
2. You deleted the line "Begley not only believed in Irish republicanism but pure republicanism and non sectarianism." Can you explain why?
3. You added " He had little schooling and was referred to in published reports following his death as "illiterate"" - this is POV and weasel words - to start off, can you provide a source for this?
4. The Glenbryn Estate reference - why did you delete this, it was clearly referenced on the BBC website and refered to Belgey directly.--Vintagekits 06:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Paddy Quinn (Irish republican)

Again you have had a number of edits without discussion, can you please explain the following edits.

1. You again removed the reference to Volunteer, you know this is against mediation, why do you keep doing this?
2. You substituted Irish War of Independence with Anglo-Irish War when you have already been informed that Anglo-Irish War is a redirect to Irish War of Independence and the correct term is Irish War of Independence.
3. You added the following "His mother, despite her aforementioned republicanism, described how awful it was to see her son suffering "epileptic fits". They helped to get him medical help to save his life, and some other families followed suit." Can you add a reference for that claim and clarify is with more detail.--Vintagekits 06:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
