AfD article

When you create the AfD article, make sure you put the ===]=== at the top. Otherwise your text merges into the AfD above it on the day's list. I fixed this one. Fan1967 19:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah! Thanks. I wondered why I couldn't get it to format correctly. I can't believe I overlooked that. Thank you very much for correcting it. IrishGuy 19:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
I was just trying to figure out why you were talking about FrankandJames.tk in the AfD for IvyWise. Then I realized they had run together. Fan1967 19:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I noticed that when I first listed it so I tried it again. Obviously, I just needed to title the article but it just plain slipped my mind. Thanks again. IrishGuy 19:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Saint Patrick/Great Britain

I have a thing with editing out the term 'Britain', except when referred to for etymological or terminological reasons. Call it a compulsion, a pain in the neck, or whatever, there's a very good reason for it, and I always make sure that every time I edit away that word, I am doing something constructive, no matter how minor. Whereas 'Great Britain' clearly refers to an island, the meaning of which is unambiguous, 'Britain' is shorthand for the island (Great Britain), the archipelago to which it belongs (British Isles), or the country to which it belongs (United Kingdom). Thus, 'Britain' is either sloppy, misleading, or both sloppy and misleading.Bastin8 23:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Any time!

Any time, dear Irishguy... anything for a fellow éireann (even tho my Irish blood is somewhat diluted! ;) Cheers, Phædriel ♥ - 22:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:AIAV

Please do not list content disputes at WP:AIAV, as you just did regarding Bambi II — it is only for clear cases of habitual and obvious vandalism. Saravask 17:59, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

It isn't a content dispute. It isn't about differing opinions. It is vandalism. The content this person is putting in the article is completely made up. If you do a google search for the inane content he/she keeps adding you find exactly one hit: from this vandalism in this article. IrishGuy 18:03, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

If that is the case, then you need to properly warn the user by stepping through {{test1}}, {{test2}}, {{test3}}, and finally {{test4}} in that order. Only then may a block be handed out. I've just watchlisted the page and will monitor the anon's contributions for now. Saravask 18:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
He has just admitted that it is vandalism here. IrishGuy 18:07, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, he has just been blocked by someone else as a result. Saravask 18:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
As I was trying to research the data being included by the vandal (and coming up empty, except for Christopher Lee voicing a different character), I blocked the user for the diff listed below. :) RadioKirk talk to me 18:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

65.103.86.243 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) blocked 24 hours for this diff. Thank you for your diligence. Please don't forget to use edit summaries, each time. :) RadioKirk talk to me 18:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I apologize about the edit summaries. I am trying to be more cognizent of that, but I still forget. IrishGuy 18:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
YW. :) RadioKirk talk to me 18:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Tunday

What in the name of you-name-it is going on here? Give it a couple of hours and I'm putting the ^*&^*^%$ thing up for speedy as G3 (patent vandalism)! Tonywalton  | Talk 20:19, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

This is still going on? Good Lord! The guy who wrote this article needs to either come up with some sources (which I doubt) or just let it go. IrishGuy 21:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Yup. I've been out to the pub, had a curry, got back home and he (or they, which I sincerely doubt) is still trying to justify this "tradition" that nobody else in the known universe has ever reported. Odd. Tonywalton  | Talk 21:10, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
