cheers, its saturday is I'm am going to work on it for most of the day - come back and have a look at it later as there are plenty of things that I do not know how to do, cheers Vintagekits 11:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Well done

These are mainly good edits you are making now. Maybe just check and correct after you make a link that it works. Anyway, no hard feelings, and happy editing. --Guinnog 00:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

MacManus

All 4 versions of the name should now point to the article Joseph MacManus weggieWeggie 22:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Good man Weggie, I've also put in link to a reference on Seam MacManus also Vintagekits 22:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

No probs the name change to Joe, he already has a re-direct for that name so you could use that page if necessary...Weggie 19:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Yep, sorry was working on another page! Had another look - the only other piece of information that I removed was the claim that he was a B-Special. I was going to check to see if this can be verified before I re-added. Which bits are you concerned with apart from this? Will be leaving the site until tomorrow night in about 10 mins...Weggie 23:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I am going to revert it and input the minor editing remarks that you suggest and you verify the details in the book, have you got the book? Vintagekits 23:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

BoxRec

You shouldn't write a reason for why it should be changed, only tell the story of the controversy. If you write a reason, someone is just going to go in and delete, or counterpoint it, and then you will come back and give your two cents. Keep this simple, don't make this into a pro/con debate. I don't think that is what this is site about.

This controversy is really not a controversy to me, it's just people making a big deal of something that is personal to them (nationality/ethnic identy), that is really not important to the essence of what BoxRec is.--Matt1978 02:12, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I dont agree - its states the reason why Boxrecs reason they didnt change it and makes Duddy fans look like they had no basis in asking for the change. It needs to show 1. that there is a disagreement 2. Boxrec side 3. Duddy's side and 4. the conculsion Vintagekits 10:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

John Duddy

Hi Vintage, you have missunderstood the Irish amatuer boxing situation. There is no Irish team or British NI team, there is a combined All Ireland team. Duddy fought as a British representative on the All Ireland team not for the Irish team. see http://www.iaba.ie/boxing/main/IABA-profile.htm

You dont need to give me that link to his profile - I posted in on his page. You obviously havent a clue what you are talking about, I know the IABA situation, I should do my family has been through it at all levels! Duddy didnt fight as a British representative he fought for the All Ireland team - there is no distinction between the fighters, trained in Ireland, based in Ireland coached in Ireland and won his Irish title in Dublin, Ireland. If he wanted to fight through the British system he would have fought in the commonwealth games - he didnt! Vintagekits 17:12, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Please recheck the facts, the IABA is a transnational body, it is not the Irish team. To state that is missrepresenting the situation.

you need to recheck the facts, both countries fight under the banner of Ireland and the flag of the repblic of ireland and no distinction is made between either country - its based on a provincial system Vintagekits 18:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes excactly as you say, both countries fight under the banner of Ireland, thus saying Duddy fought for the Irish team is missleading as it implies that he fought for that team alone and not the combined team.

Please keep it civil

I saw you removed the tag at this image. Please add source and license tags to the image instead. Thank you. --Fang Aili 23:11, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I took the photograph myself in Dublin Vintagekits 23:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Then put that in the image description, and add {{gdfl}}. --Fang Aili 23:17, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

New images

You need to add tags to the images you uploaded lately. Images uploaded with no tags are automatically tagged with "I3", a speedy delete criteria, and they can be deleted immediately. Please add tags, or these images will be deleted quickly. This is a friendly heads up. Cheers, Fang Aili 23:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

what tags? I stated where it came from and that the owner of the website has given me permission to use them here Vintagekits 23:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags. You cannot just say "they gave me permission". We have to have proof of that. The easiest way to do this is to have the website owner post its content as "GFDL"; this makes it usable on Misplaced Pages. --Fang Aili 23:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Boxing Images

Misplaced Pages only isn't free enough. they need to be released under a free lisence such as the GFDL or certian CC lisences we are also trying to cut down on the number of promotional images particularly those of living people.Geni 13:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

3rr

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Séamus McElwaine. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Demiurge 10:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

you can go and take a jump, I have noticed that you have now taken to bullying newbies - you sir are a clown and I will permanently keep my eye on you. Vintagekits
