Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Carlingford Lough. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Mo ainm~Talk 17:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Troubles restrictions

The article Carlingford Lough, along with other articles relating to The Troubles, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a previous Arbitration Enforcement case that closed in October 2007, and was amended by community consensus in October 2008. The current restrictions are: All editors on Troubles-related articles are directed to get the advice of neutral parties via means such as outside opinions. All articles related to The Troubles, defined as: any article that could be reasonably construed as being related to The Troubles, Irish nationalism, and British nationalism in relation to Ireland falls under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per day). When in doubt, assume it is related. Clear vandalism, or edits by anonymous IP editors, may be reverted without penalty Editors who violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense. If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the guidelines laid out in the above link. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it on this talk page first. Thank you.

Carlingford Lough

Not sure what is going on Hackneyhound but these edit are vandalism of Carlingford Lough: . Perhaps your account has been comprised? Bjmullan (talk) 22:18, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I honestly didn't think that it was intentional and I let the first one go, but after seeing the second one I thought that something was wrong with your account. Please be assured that I don't think that you are a vandal but was concerned that your account might have been compromised. BTW my prediction on the rugby result was right! Still a great game but England was the stronger team. Bjmullan (talk) 22:24, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Have a look at your recent edit. This is the third time you have added characters to other parts of the thread. Do you need a new keyboard? Bjmullan (talk) 10:32, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

There you go again, this time adding an o to the word would, see here. Just a couple of other things; can you please sign your comments with four ~ and also indent it makes reading and following threads is easier. You indent using the semicolon. Bjmullan (talk) 17:40, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Misleading edit summary

This edit summary is misleading and also breaches WP:CIVIL. There is no one single user refusing to compromise. You have been unable to put forward a proposal which others can agree to so you have decided to make the change against the current stable consensus. This is against WP policy and any change against consensus will be reverted. Bjmullan (talk) 18:16, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Notice of Troubles remedies

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to The Troubles. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read in the Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles#Final decision section of the decision page. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page.

You have engaged in aggressive editing and apparent POV-pushing at Carlingford Lough and its talk page. Since your account was only created on 24 February, it raises the question whether you are here to actually benefit the encyclopedia. Nationalist turmoil does not help progress here. I'm sure you know there are many articles about Ireland that can be edited and improved without causing any disturbance at all. EdJohnston (talk) 01:26, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Please show me the diffs? I have joined in on talkpage discussion and also tried to gauge consensus through "reaching consensus through editing". Please do not interpret this as something that it is not.Hackneyhound (talk) 10:49, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Please stop trying to disrupt the project as you are doing here and here. Making frivolous reports can result in blocks as the other SPA has discovered. --Domer48_'fenian' 10:53, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

so am I right in thinking that you were on a 6 month probation for constructive edits? Please go away.

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Misplaced Pages policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
