Hi folks....I'm back now! wassup?!!(Sarah777 15:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC))

They're threatening to ban you for an entire bloody year at Arbcom. Absolutely f**k*** outrageous!

Show them your article creation list, Sarah, I think you probably have the record.

Sure you lose your rag from time to time - but don't we all, especially when faced with extreme provocation and wind-up merchnats....Gaimhreadhan talk • 17:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Your latest intro

Are you open to suggestions on stuff like sentence structure. I'm quite happy with the substantive stuff, but there are a couple of small things I think need addressing. Would you like suggestions? or should we lave well alone? Fmph (talk) 12:16, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm always open to suggestions...Sarah777 (talk) 02:14, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

From the Ireland Collaboration

Well, it was poetic & a tongue twister. GoodDay (talk) 22:58, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Geograph

Sorry MJ - just spotted this now! I am very distracted these days. It's a holiday thingy! Sarah777 (talk) 22:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Position Statement

Please edit your statement at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Ireland_Collaboration/Poll_on_Ireland_article_names/Position_statements/Sarah777. Thanks! -- Evertype·✆ 13:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

On Saturday - very busy in RL! Sarah777 (talk) 19:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Time marches on. Deadline is Wednesday. -- Evertype·✆ 12:51, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I never miss a deadline :)Sarah777 (talk) 08:18, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

You could pretend the deadline was today. ;-) -- Evertype·✆ 08:44, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I was aiming for 23:00 on 29th - to allow for the vagaries of International Time. Sometimes Wiki-time seems to be an hour ahead of real time - sometimes not. I guess Wiki sets it's clock according to concensus. Sarah777 (talk) 22:28, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Deadline is 21:00 UTC. I really must find out what UTC time is sometime... I presume its not a British imposition, anyway ;-) Bastun 14:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

UTC? Never heard of it. Sarah777 (talk) 22:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Coordinated Universal Time. BigDunc 22:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Would that not be CUT? Sarah777 (talk) 22:09, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

UTC means 'Universal Time Clock'. GoodDay (talk) 22:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Would that not make it the same time everywhere? Sarah777 (talk) 22:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Ha ha, you've got less then 2hrs, to present your Position Statement. GoodDay (talk) 22:17, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

(ec) UTC English backronym = Universal Time, Coordinated. BigDunc 22:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm..another backronym? My Position Statement is in Position. On the button; as per my internal clock. Read it and weep.....Sarah777 (talk) 22:22, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you put something in the 'nutshell' part, please? Bastun 22:35, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Bastun, done. Though I'm a bit worried when you ask for more from me. Sarah777 (talk) 22:49, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

(Outdent) Ya should see the volume (word wise) of my 'Position Statement'. GoodDay (talk) 22:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Sarah, I asked your question on the project talk page. Consensus is anyone can endorse a statement. I've linked your position under the 'Alternative perspectives' section of my statement, and likewise linked to mine from your statement. Bastun 09:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

OK. Thanks - I just wondered if it was procedurally correct. Sarah777 (talk) 17:06, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Happy Birthday?

Hi, Sarah. Just saw this on your user page. Does that mean it's your Birthday today? If it does, then, Happy Birthday! If not, well, Happy Birthday whenever it is. Jack forbes (talk) 14:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Happy Birthday Autodidactyl (talk) 19:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Happy Wiki-Birthday to you, Sarah777 of Ireland, part of the British and Irish Isles. -- GoodDay (talk) 20:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Heck no - it's my Wiki Birthday! I was three a few weeks back:) Sarah777 (talk) 20:35, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Does that mean your now over the terrible twos? :) Jack forbes (talk) 20:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

:)Sarah777 (talk) 22:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Aren't you a Virgo, Sarah? That means your birthday is approaching.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:52, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

List of Robot Chicken episodes

Holy Cow Rock! The quality of the editing here is awesome. I tried to find a stray comma or a misplaced colon but I gave up. Sarah777 (talk) 08:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Heeeeeeeeellllllp!!

SOS. I went into the archives of this page looking for a photo only to discover that everything archived since November 2008 seems to have vanished! Obviously they are going to get me - one way or another. (I'm not sure the post November 2008 stuff was ever there as this is the first time in years I peeked into the archive). Sarah777 (talk) 08:49, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Seems a bit screwed up. I've added links to the "missing" archives above. The counter is set to 23 so it has still been archiving, but it appears to have screwed up the numbering between Archive 13 and Archive 20. --HighKing (talk) 11:00, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! Sarah777 (talk) 16:55, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

This is what I was looking for. I'm not sure why. It seemed like a good idea at the time:) Sarah777 (talk) 17:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ahem! What were you planning exactly, Sarah? Jack forbes (talk) 17:57, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Well...it appears you only need a plutonium core, some high explosive and some blue arrows connecting them and - BANG! Sarah777 (talk) 18:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I heard those blue arrows were hard to come by. Without them it's more of a snap, crackle, pop. Jack forbes (talk) 18:07, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Sugar! Sarah777 (talk) 18:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

MiszaBot is numbering as instructed. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Jeez. Why did I do that?! Sarah777 (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Spooky stuff

In the article, Dunkettle railway station, I read: The station does not yet exist. It serves the town of Glanmire in County Cork. It is also a park and ride facility. The current station opened on 30th July 2009." Sarah777 (talk) 18:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

That was indeed a bit of a timewarp. I went in and fixed it for you. Thanks for the barnstar. --John (talk) 00:35, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Settler rights

Hi Sarah. You're right that I'm quibbling but (I hope) it's not about what you imply. I completely agree that the sources that survive on the 1641 rebellion are overwhelmingly mediated by an English and/or Protestant perspective. I wasn't trying to disagree with the current state of the article or condone the sources quoted on that particular sentence, and actually I would agree 100% that the rebellion wasn't an attempt at genocide. It was just that in the context of a NPOV article, "thought of by" seemed to do the job much better than "ironically claimed by". Greycap (talk) 17:43, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

You are 100% correct Greycap! The phrase I inserted was not encyclopedic. No problem. It is important to keep an eye on me:) Regards Sarah777 (talk) 20:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Population template

Hi Sarah, What is your opinion on the ongoing application of this template under different user names across the project. Seems a clear case of WP:DIS to me, due to the shotgun approach being taken by the ed. and his/her determination not to reply to questions or generally give a damn. To me this 'data' amounts to WP:OR and is more problematic than it might casually appear. I've asked for general comment at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Ireland#Historical populations template. Regards. RashersTierney (talk) 11:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Oops! I thought it was a table but upon further investigation I see it is based on a template {{Historical populations}}. ww2censor (talk) 17:04, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the information is very interesting if it can be integrated into the layout without ruining the articles. I'm not up to speed on the history of how they were added/by who; I came across a few of them but never looked into who was adding them or how. Even though I personally find them interesting I certainly agree such widespread additions must be discussed at IrlProj and some rules about how, where and when they are added should be drawn up. Sarah777 (talk) 23:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Requested move

Sarah, you may be able to throw some light here and here? Bastun 08:56, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Your position statement

Hi Sarah. Please clarify if you would like the summary by your name to read "in favour of option C, A, B, D and E, against option F" or only "against option F". Many thanks! -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Certainly not "only against option F"! I have distinct preferences amongst the alternatives. Sarah777 (talk) 15:41, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

No doubt you do but your position statement doesn't say what it is or why (only "...continue on down the list omitting only the 'Republic of Ireland'). It is the contents of your position statement that is being described by that tag line, not your preference (or so I thought at least).

In any case, are you sure it is option C you prefer first ("A general "all-Ireland" topic at Ireland. The island at Ireland (island). The state at Ireland (state).")? I thought it was D ("The island at Ireland. The state at Ireland (state)"). --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 18:45, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

This is a question of what I prefer and what to vote for. Clearly, the major problem is calling the state "RoI" as if that is it's name. Simply not acceptable. After that I might think Ireland (state) will get the most support but I'd prefer one article for one Ireland. Also Ireland (Republic) was dropped over my protestations (which were simply ignored), something to which we may need to return in due course. Sarah777 (talk) 18:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Poll on Ireland article names

A poll has been set up at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Ireland_Collaboration/Poll on Ireland article names. This is a formal vote regarding the naming of the Ireland and Republic of Ireland and possibly the Ireland (disambiguation) pages. The result of this poll will be binding on the affected article names for a period of two years. This poll arose from the Ireland article names case at the Arbitration Committee and the Ireland Collaboration Project. The order that the choices appear in the list has been generated randomly. Voting will end at 21:00 (UTC) of the evening of 13 September 2009 (that is 22:00 IST and BST).

Hey Sarah, you can profile me as Cookie Monster. Seriously though, I think people are over-reacting, as there's no 100% way to find out if one's British, Irish, Russian etc. GoodDay (talk) 20:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
