Speedy deletion of Tubrid A tag has been placed on Tubrid requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Image Copyright{{helpme}} I have an image of a photograph from an Irish newspaper, dated 1921 and need some help deciding on copyright matters. When that has been decided I could do with some assistance posting it to a page I'm working on. In the meantime I'll continue to read on these matters.

Many thanks for replies. I've posted this question at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions and am hoping for further guidance there. Image copyright problem with Image:District Inspector Gilbert Norman Potter.JPGThank you for uploading Image:District Inspector Gilbert Norman Potter.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 22:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:District Inspector Gilbert Norman Potter.JPG)
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC) Gilbert Potter pictureYou have to provide a fair use rationale for it. I'm not entirely sure, having not dealt with too many images myself, but try Help:Image page for more information. Hope that helps! --Patar knight - chat/contributions 02:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
CaherHi. I understand the comment about "needing a sit down when that was removed". I appreciate that some work/research went into that. As noted, however, it wasn't quite right for the context. What you might consider instead is adding a note or two in the Place names in Irish article about "places starting with Caher-" and explain the etymology. Again, I wouldn't list every place that happens to have Caher in it, but it might be a way to salvage some of your research. Guliolopez (talk) 23:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC) Hey Rashers, I never meant to infer his ethnicity or nationality. A gaelic historian is a historian of gaelic stuff. Gaelic is a disambiguation page, so [little or no articles] should refer to it. I changed it to Gaels as I believed that he was someone wo studied/wrote the history of the Gaels. Either way, "Gaelic" can mean upto 18 things, I just picked one.

Hindu-German conspiracyHello Rashers, I wanted to thank you for your input to the Hindu-German conspiracy. Please feel free to invite as many authors as you see suitable, not least because I agree the article needs ironing out for a number of points, and I am beginning to feel WP:BALANCE maybe one of them. I will mention though that I have left a message on the talk page, which may serve as a caveat to the way forward. Nonetheless, I would tremendously appreciate input from others. rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 01:10, 9 August 2008 (UTC) NPOVPlease be careful to use language which is appropriate to the WP:NPOV guidelines. The description just added for the "Ballad of Clonmel" contains does not meet the guildelines. ("great", "haunting", etc).

Hopefully you have a good time, start many new articles and can contribute lots to the existing ones as we need that. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 00:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC) Notability of Andrew Belton (Kaid) A tag has been placed on Andrew Belton (Kaid) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article. If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — 72.75.110.31 (talk) 18:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC) Darrell FiggisHi, I notice you've been doing quite a bit of work on Figgis on wikipedia, I'm doing quite a bit of work on him myself aswell but I'm afraid I'm not really up to all this computer business and editing articles. I've got some photos that might add to the page (his autograph, his grave, and his old house in london) is there somehow I might be able to send them to you and perhaps you could put them in as you see fit? --Biggles85 (talk) 19:46, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I've emailed them onto you there, thanks a million for that! 213.94.236.210 (talk) 14:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC) RomaniansAh! I guess I figured that was your intent, and it seems we fully agree. You may want to check out the talk page for the article: months ago, one user argued, against the fabric of common sense, that such a tag was necessary, and another two decided to humor him (the majority, me included, was against). If they add it back, I'm seriously thinking about adding distinguish tags for "Manians", "Manian", "Omanians", and, of course, "Romulan". Dahn (talk) 14:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

As it happens, I had actually made them myself, I just forgot to sign in before doing so (have a horrible habit of doing that)! Still, major kudos for being so vigiliant, its very impressive :) ANB (talk) 16:05, 22 November 2008 (UTC) Ethnic groupI would be glad to see you put this page on your watchlist and contribute. On the talk page you took objection to a particular sentence or two. I think you are absolutely right and I think several other contributors to the article would agree too. There are only two editors to my knowledge who have argued otherwise: DAB:
and Epf:
A number of people have argued quite a bit on the talk page against or around these views. It would be very good to have a fresh voice. And add all the Stuart Hall you want! Slrubenstein | Talk 22:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC) Helpme
Thanks Roux. I'm trying to create a sub-category 'Bagwells of Marlfield' of 'Category:Political families of Ireland', and slot Richard Bagwell and John Philip Bagwell in. Also to link to other Bagwell 'lists'. I seem to be inadvertently creating pages rather than Cats. If thats not too clear I'll explain further. RashersTierney (talk) 14:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Romani MOSRT, I share your view that some universal style guideline for Romani-related WP articles in necessary. Talk:Romani language#Request for Comment: Romani, Romany, Roma was an attempt by me to also prompt the formulation of a consensus of this matter, so that we could collectively move on and get down to improving the content of the articles. Note that my position has shifted since the summer, and I am much more clearly in favour now of Romani over the other alternatives. This is based on my better familiarising myself with sources and issues in Romani studies scholarship. Regards, Zalktis (talk) 12:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Ireland - country or state?The island of Ireland is not a country it is an island, just like Borneo, Honshu, Java.... The island is made up of the country of Ireland and the constitute country of Northern Ireland. There is also really no difference between the definition of "country" or "state" when it comes to defining a sovereign country. The difference is that the definition of the word "state" does have an alternative meaning. Not only does it have alternative meaning but millions of people in the world have a different primary understanding of the meaning of the term. In many countries, including several large countries, the use of the word "state" has the primary meaning of a territory within a federation. Since part of this whole Ireland debate is the need to include or exclude terms on the "claim" that they are needed (or not) to make things clear to the reader who is not aware of the situation in Ireland (primarily people outside Ireland & UK). If that is really the reason for this whole thing then I find it kind of ironic that you would then use "state" instead of "country" when the word "state" is ambiguous to the same readers that people have been fighting for such a long time to make sure the article is clear for them. --T*85 (talk) 21:49, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Oxford dictionary
"A State (note the capital "S") is a self-governing political entity. The term State can be used interchangeably with country."[1] (from ref used in wiki Country article) "Examples of entities that are not countries include: Hong Kong, Bermuda, Greenland, Puerto Rico, and most notably the constituent parts of the United Kingdom. (Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England are not countries.)"--T*85 (talk) 00:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Roma (people)B2C has now gone an done a "bold" move to Roma (Romani subgroup) without consensus. I'm also on the verge of giving up my engagement with Romani issues once again. One tries to be constructive, one bones up on the shcolarly literature, arms oneself with refs, but to no avail, it seems. And I thought Baltic topics were nerve-wrackingI I supposed you get the same with Irish topics, though, too. Anyhow, your efforts are appreciated, even if we haven't always agreed. —Zalktis (talk) 10:02, 14 January 2009 (UTC) Propagandistic image?I doubt that this image maight be regarded as "propagandistic". Propaganda for the benefit of who? For the benefit of the National Socialism? I strongly doubt it. The Nazis propagandized a restrained attitude toward the stores of the Jewes and other "inferior peoples". This image contradichts with thies principles. The reality is another one: formerly, in Romania the entire commerce with flowers was in the hands of the Roma. If you wanted to buy flowers, you could do it only from the Roma. --Olahus (talk) 15:10, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Dunmanway massacreHi, I've noticed your edits to subjects around 1920s in Ireland and I'd appreciate your opinion at Dunmanway Massacre article. There are a few issues around refs, layout and tone and we'd be grateful for some fresh eyes, if you have time. See the talk page for (extremely!) lengthy discussion of the issues. Cheers Jdorney (talk) 13:02, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Fair enough. It's true, we're still very much in the realms of myth and speculation with tregard to the period. Especially with regard to the civil war, which is the area I'm most interested in personally and which are not even covered by the military history archives. I see the government has only just released douments relating to the report into the Ballyseedy Massacre of 1922. May we live to finally see an honest appraisl of the times!Jdorney (talk) 22:02, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Itinerarium Symonis SemeonisHi Rashers![I already posted this on my talk page, but, not being entirely au fait with how these things work, I thought it would cover all bases to post it here too!] The only complete modern edition is Mario Espostio's Itinerarium Symonis Semeonis ab Hybernia ad Terram Sanctam published (after a lot of pleading by M.E.) by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in 1960 as part IV of the Scriptores Latini Hiberniae series. I'm almost certain that it includes a parallel text English translation, but I will check it in the University library when I'm there on Monday and let you know. (You've probably seen this already but there's a brief account of his reference to the Romani in Crete here: http://www.ucd.ie/cai/classics-ireland/2003/murphy.html) ANB (talk) 18:16, 31 January 2009 (UTC) thanxthank you irish person —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.53.225.88 (talk) 20:07, 31 January 2009 (UTC) GrantedHey, no problem. And it really wasn't a minor issue: if any variant is incorrect, it really should be removed, and in any case you were right about an article going with one variant and one only (although it is perhaps a bit picky in an article which still reads like what it is - a racialist personal essay that was slowly mended through edit wars, but whose priorities are still painfully visible in the structural and informative quality of the article). I agree there should be more discussion on the project pages. But, for that to happen, there first needs to be activity. It seems that, for a period of weeks or even months, I was the only active user they had. This is ironic, because I wanted my participation in the project to be marginal - I expected others to hold it afloat, and me to contribute the odd article, tag some pages, apply the resolutions of centralized discussions). Although I believe I have a reasonable grasp of Romani history in Romania, although I enjoy writing about it, and although the articles in question have more or less serious problems that I could help fix, I never expected to be the focal point of what was once a fairly active group of users. I mean, I can't even speak Romani, and many of the discussions involving Romani culture in general are obscure to me. Things improve every time users like AKoan (Kenshin) and Kuaichik and you are around, so this it is a real pity when you guys spend loads of time disagreeing. Even more ironic is what happened on the Romania project, which also fell into my lap; the user who created it was permablocked or banned (can't remember which, but it was for good reason), and virtually all the others who officially signed up were in and then out. It has since even been described as "Dahn's project" by a user who spent much of his time criticizing and/or insulting me. There isn't ever much going on there, and real discussions migrate to other pages - but it's still a ridiculous situation.

Junction FestivalHello Rashers, I am sorry if I haven't used Wikipedia in the correct way. I simply couldn't understand why I couldn't add the link to our Festival's website in the related text. I thought it would be more logical but if it is not allowed I will put the link at the bottom of the page and replace it by an internal link as I want to create a page about the Junction Festival -if that's ok. I also would like to add an image in the actual article about the festival; is it possible?
