AfD nomination of Rossport Solidarity CampAn article that you have been involved in editing, Rossport Solidarity Camp, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rossport Solidarity Camp. Thank you. Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. G My User and Talk PagesAs mentioned here:- [1]. Nothing has changed since then, I also include my user page in this. Please do not edit either of these. If you wish to engage constructively then please do so on articles talk pages. G Image cleanupThere is a copyvio purge going on, well it is not all about copyvios but a general image cleanup trying to save images. Maybe you can help out because while quickly looking through some of the pages I noticed that several of your images have no descriptions and some have broken information templates. Perhaps you can fix them yourself as you know what you uploaded and I am sure you will describe them far better than I. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 17:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to repeat it for clarity.
This situation has long gone beyond the point of being disruptive to wikipedia. I am now asking you to please stop editing on this topic as you don't seem to be able to edit with a NPOV. Other editors as well as myself have drawn you attention to your COI, POV and Soapboxing as well as other policy and guidelines and have been repeatedly ignored. Please now stop editing on this topic. G Requests for ArbitrationYou are involved in a recently-filed request for arbitration.

Just a reminder that you might want to contribute a statement to the RFAR - myself, Gainline and Steve all have now, and the case is pretty much assured acceptance by the committee (five accepts, one tentative accept - only four are required). Thanks! Fin©™ 16:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Hiya again. Just a note about the comment you made about refuting Gainline's statement, saying you'd get around to it if you had time. I don't want to be telling you what to do or anything, but refuting stuff on ArbCom should probably be fairly high (the highest?) on your editing priorities - if the ArbCom don't hear any comment from you, they'll just work of what we've given them, and that's obviously not going to be in your interest. Anyway, just thought I'd say. Thanks! Fin©™ 13:22, 21 August 2009 (UTC) An Arbitration case involving you has been opened, and is located here.

Regards, AGK 10:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC) CommentsI have made it clear that simple reversion of vandalism is not sufficient for someone to write a self congratulatory piece on the talk page, otherwise talk pages would be full of little else.

Why? As the photo is used in the article, it is to illustrate an Israeli soldier. Why does it matter if he/she is in a guard tower in Jerusalem, Jenin, Hebron or on the Egyptian border?

FWIW, I do not have any experience on RFA's, so my advice may be useless, but I think it would be good form for you to leave a statement (it doesn't need to be huge or all-encompassing) on the evidence page here since your opponents seem prepared to argue that your failure to do so is a sign that you don't care and don't take your editing seriously. To reiterate, I have a lack of experience with RFA's, so I don't know if this is typical or not, but it looks to me that the Admins are not going to shape the discussion that is occurring - they are letting both sides state their cases and will then make their conclusions based on the information presented AND (importantly) the behavior of those presenting it. If you like I can also give you some bits of paternalistic advice, based on my experience navigating the WP minefields. For now I will just say that no editor is without failings, and showing some sincere contrition where appropriate (for example about their charges of EW and PA - mutual as they may have been) would be a healthy and mature thing to do. Based on my reading of the history it does seem clear to me that GainLine started the disagreements and bad faith between between the two of you - his very first edits were some of the ones I cited in the section on his vandalism. His vandalism was on a BLP - which is considered very seriously at WP - and which is probably worthy of restatement. Good luck, Jgui (talk) 17:04, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
'lo. Again, don't want to be telling you what to do, but you probably shouldn't wait for Steve or the arbitrators to reply before moving on to further rebuttals - delaying might mean you don't get to add your comments on my or Gainline's evidence before the case closes (though I dunno how much advance warning we get of a closing case). Thanks! Fin©™ 12:18, 2 September 2009 (UTC) Update and g'dayHello, as of a couple of days ago, I am the drafting arbitrator for the case involving you - what I would really appreciate is some input on this page --> Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Lapsed Pacifist 2/Evidence as to your side of the story (I notice you said you'd replied to steve crossin but I can't now see where (?)).

Andy120290 (talk) 18:20, 19 September 2009 (UTC) What I mean is that criticisms for the reasons for the Iraq War belong in a criticism section or something similar. Putting it in the lead of the article shows an anti-war bias that violates Wikipedia's neutrality policy.

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. All articles related to Corrib gas controversy and the Shell to Sea campaign are placed under probation. All fall under 1RR, and a stricter rather than laxer interpretation of addition of and removal unsourced content. Lapsed Pacifist (talk · contribs) is strongly admonished for edit warring and is topic banned, indefinitely, from articles related to the Corrib gas project, broadly defined. He is also subject to an editing restriction for one year, namely is limited to one revert per page per week (except for undisputable vandalism and BLP violations), and is required to discuss any content reversions on the page's talk page. While GainLine (talk · contribs) is admonished for vandalising BLPs and sockpuppetry, he is also commended for desisting from early problematic behaviours and encouraged to pursue appropriate dispute resolution methods, and seek administrator intervention when required. Non-compilance to any of the above editing restrictions may result in a block, up to a week in the event of repeated violations. After 5 blocks, the maximum block shall increase to one year. - For the Arbitration Committee, Mailer Diablo 09:00, 12 October 2009 (UTC) CapitalismAn editor is questioning the lack of sources in the lead for Capitalism.

Let's put aside the rest of you blind revert and focus on the NASAKOM mention. I note your initial edit here had no edit summary - so please don't tell me that my edit summaries are insufficient. You will also note I explained each change i made to your unexplained changes, and indeed, I didn't change everything you added/changed yet (eg, "perceived" communist threat"), yours just reverted and said "disagree". At least explain your difference of opinion on the Nasakom acronym.--Merbabu (talk) 00:10, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Addition of materialHi, I saw your posts on talk pages and am replying here on both of them. I didn't now there was a programme on Corduff, my suggestion would be to post what you would like added to the Corduff article (inc refs) and if theres consensus then I (or some editor) can add it to the article. My worry would be that something like that may be WP:TRIVIA but we can let the community decide on that. I have been following the GSOC story in the Irish Times and while it says there is action pending it doesn't say what and to who ( I had presumed it was Gannon ). My feeling here would be to wait until such time that a disciplinary procedure has begun before adding info. On a separate but related issue from the above post, Coming from the the RfAR, I'd like to remind you that you should be discussing any reversions before you make them. Coming from the RfAR too, I belive you may help steer yourself clear of trouble by using edit summaries as you were encouraged to do. G

With all due respect to certain sources that use the term to refer to settlements, they are in the fringe. One doesn't need to go beyond a simple Google search to establish that the term means something else: 9/10 search results, and 10/10 books results on the first page refer to the term to mean something entirely different from settlements. Again, this debate would be entirely different if the term was used only to describe settlements (e.g. like Hamastan refers to the Gaza Strip according to some), but in this case, the term is widely-used to describe Jewish colonies in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. All of the above of course ignoring the racist overtones of using the term "Jewish colonies" to refer to settlements. —Ynhockey (Talk) 00:25, 11 December 2009 (UTC) WP:RFAR/AmendmentPlease see this thread.

I don't understand the problem with changing to Ulster, which covers a slightly bigger area; William's legacy is also celebrated by Orangemen in County Donegal annually. Nor do I understand the problem with noting the changing size of the British state; this had already been noted for its first change but not the subsequent ones. I remedied this omission. Pulling me on that seems an extraordinarily broad interpretation of the ban. I take your point about using edit summaries. In that particular instance, I had to revert the vandal manually as he had made more than one edit; ordinarily, the edit summary would have automatically shown it was a revert. I have an unhappy history with trying to get admins involved in disputes, and gave up a long time ago. On the Al-Shifa attack, I was under the impression that what was being challenged was the larger figure, that of the subsequent deaths from malaria, for which I then provided references. I concede I was very wrong about the number of immediate deaths. To me, your last point is still your weakest. Rightly or wrongly, it comes across as being from someone who has taken umbrage at a perceived insult to the "coalition of the willing", to use the favoured Orwellian term. I appreciate your comments elsewhere; despite our disagreements, it is refreshing to come across an admin who does not automatically assume bad faith.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
Lapsed Pacifist (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: William III was a 17th-century king. He took no part in the recent Ulster conflict that my first ban concerns. British Empire concerns England's colonies outside the British Isles, nowhere near the scene of that conflict and again, well before. Same applies to Fenian Rising; it took place over a century before the conflict in question even began, and as far as I know, all of it was outside Ulster. My reversion at Korean War was of a vandal. At Talk:Joe Higgins, I took a stand against a very stubborn editor, as there's rarely an excuse for blanking of inoffensive comments and I detest users acting as if they own certain articles. That was a stand you yourself vindicated. I did not restore text unsupported by sources, you ought to have looked more closely at that edit. Your last point I regard as nakedly political. Lapsed Pacifist (talk) 15:30, 11 December 2009 (UTC) Decline reason: I find this an unconvincing arguement, especially since your restrictions at [10] do not define an historical time period, rather they only say you should not be editing articles related to conflict in Northern Ireland. The Fenian Rising article could easily be construed as connected to such. If you wish to be unblocked, it is probably best if, instead of argueing against the justness of this block, you could convince administrators that you will not test the boundaries of your many restrictions, and will try to find areas of Wikipedia where you can edit which are unlikely to lead to conflicts.

Based on MOS:ABBR "U.S." is acceptable. Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 04:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC) Unreferenced BLPsHello Lapsed Pacifist! Thank you for your contributions.

I wasn't sure if I conveyed it all that well in the limited space available for an edit summary. Basically, a march can be unpermitted and legal (like this), while a permitted march may still be declared unlawful. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:13, 20 January 2010 (UTC) Warning: Pro-communist POV pushing & disruptive fact taggingYour edits in Salvador Allende are disruptive in nature. The information in the last paragraph of the lead is properly sourced to Communism: A History by Richard Pipes with page numbers. But despite this, you added some citation needed tag. "His economic policy resulted in inflation which exceeded 300 percent a year. He adopted the policy of nationalization of industries and collectivization. His policy of collectivization resulted in expropriation of lands and crop production dropped." - the source for this information is reference no. 3. "The Supreme Court criticized Allende for subordination of the judicial system to serve his own political needs and the Chamber of Deputies requested the military to restore laws in Chile" - the source for this is reference no. 4. You also modified sourced information that "Allende established a Marxist regime in Chile", You are entitled to believe in Communism, but you cannot push your pro-communist POV through malicious edits like this violating WP:NPOV. This is a warning for your disruptive editing. If you continue this disruptive fact tagging, you will be discussed in the appropriate noticeboards. --Defender of torch (talk) 12:55, 11 February 2010 (UTC) CfD nomination of Category:NGOs designated as terrorist by a governmentI have nominated Category:NGOs designated as terrorist by a government (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for deletion.

I've just read your profile and it seemed to me that you have a profile deeply interested in history, culture and minorities so maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... I'm a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this hasn't been approved up to that moment because Catalan doesn't belong to a/one state. We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care! Capsot (talk) 11:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Shell to Sea picturesHi there! I'm currently translating articles related to the corrib gas controversy in the French wp, but I can't import many of the pictures (mostly made by you) used in the english articles because they aren't on Wikicommons but rather on the public domain. Would you mind changing their status, so that I can use them ? I'm not living in Ireland any more and therefore can't make my own photographs of the protest ;-(--Internaciulo (talk) 14:57, 11 June 2010 (UTC) Articles for deletion nomination of CorporatocracyThis article could have been deleted as an expired PROD, but in view of its long history and number of contributors, and the fact that there are corresponding articles on a number of other Wikipedias, I have taken it to AfD to get more opinions.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing Burr (novel)I have reverted your edits to the article. I disagree with your rationale "Remove anachronisms" for replacing the word bastard with out of wedlock. This a pseudo-historical novel and bastard would be completely appropriate for the period. The fact that Videl has a preference for profane language in his writing makes its use here even more appropriate. Using out of wedlock is the anachronism here, and it lacks the pejorative meaning of bastard that is also integral to the novel's plot. --Wlmg (talk) 02:52, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee." |
