1934 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Hi, I want you to read this . It's from FIFA.com, the most reliable sources and which confirms that the team who played as Mandatory Palestine in 1934 World Cup qualifiers is the direct predecessor for the current Palestinian national football team.--Uishaki (talk) 21:25, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, this shows affilated since 1998 and Isreal 1929. Both founded in the same year 1928. But please discuss this at the football project page for a wider community view. Thanks again. Murry1975 (talk) 21:32, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Tyson Fury

I'm new to wikipedia, so I haven't a clue what the message:

"(Reverted good faith edits by Sweeney581 (talk): As per pervious. (TW)) (undo | thank)"

means, but why did you change what I'd written? Sweeney581 (talk) 14:56, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

It means I revert it to read what it previously read, as per the talkpage and consensus.

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=479205&cat=boxer shows British

http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/sport/story/203415.html# Calls him British

Also linking Ireland to Irish isnt done in the modern era (post independence).Murry1975 (talk) 15:06, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

http://www.irish-boxing.com/2012/07/tyson-fury-stripped-of-irish-heavyweight-title/ Makes interesting reading, will add it to the tp. Murry1975 (talk) 15:16, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer. I made the change after nobody replied to my comments in the talk page. Boxrec only ever lists one nationality, and there are lots of news articles that call him Irish. If you don't object, I'll change it back to my version tomorrow? As for his title being stripped, that was because he subsequently fought under a British license (which he needed to do to fight in England), not because he didn't qualify as Irish. (I don't know if this talk page or the Tyson Fury talk page is the correct place to discuss this) Sweeney581 (talk) 15:16, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

I object, he boxes as a British boxer, the link above shows how this lost him the Irish title, he cant fight for British titles with an Irish licience, but he still can fight in the UK with an Irish one, there are plenty of Irish boxers in Austrlia,the US and UK who fight under irish ones. Also the reason why nobody replied is, as you also done here, we post at the bottom of talkpages, a stale discussion line from over 18 months ago. Post at the bottom or on recent discussions, if they are not there start a new one. Murry1975 (talk) 15:24, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

So I should have put this under the 1934 bit? He can fight in Britain with an Irish license, but it's easier with a BBBofC license because you don't have to deal with the foreign boxer requirements. Sweeney581 (talk) 15:41, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Then it his choice of conveince to remain a British boxer, and on wikipedia thats what he should remain. PS dont worry about the order I will sort it later bud. Murry1975 (talk) 15:43, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Your comment

I just find it very hard to believe he is watching every single page I have just edited plus the fact that he reverted every single one of my edits without a single word to me on my talk page not to mention he accused me of POV in one of his edit summaries, not a very good experience, it kind of puts me off from editing. ÓCorcráin (talk) 22:06, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I have added more on his page. Yes he has, in my dealing with him, near enough all Irish politcal articles covered on his watchlist, he is a decent enough guy and discussion is the only way. Edit a football article or something unrelated, dont edit war, its Irish politics and can end up getting messy. Murry1975 (talk) 22:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah ok, I retracted my accusation which I wrote when I was frustrated on seeing all my edits reverted. I must assume good faith after all. ÓCorcráin (talk) 23:11, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Mulgrew and Commons. I work for Celtic Fc. I know these lads. I know they had the kids out of wedlock. It's a fact. It's on their twitter. Charlie even got arrested for abuse to his child. Facts are online. Check for yourself ! Now fuck off. I know I am right. I will called Krissy and Chico right now.happy? From.harrybhoy67. I know more about Celtic than you will ever know so leave the facts to me sunshine .

I've taken care of it Murry. SonofSetanta (talk) 15:18, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Harry Baxter

Harry Baxter was born in Kilkenny (Ryder p69). You've obviously got an idea so fill yer boots. SonofSetanta (talk) 13:43, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

I would put County Kilkenny. The sentence is: "Born in Kilkenny, he was the fourth generation of his family to serve in the British Army." That's all. I would do it myself but I'm grafting away on the UDR stuff. Pity we hadn't got a good image of Baxter. I'll have a wee rake about. SonofSetanta (talk) 13:57, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

COI

Accusing someone of COI without explaining what it is that you think the conflict is, is bad faith. COI applies where a person may benefit personally from something. You haven't even gone anywhere near establishing that. Nor have you addressed the core question, which is about bibliographic accuracy. I see you are a relatively new editor, so you be forgiven, but you have been heavy-handed in your assumptions and have not backed it up with relevant argument. -- Evertype·✆ 13:12, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Micheal, I have indeed backed-up my point. You are trying to conform MOS here to mirror the MOS your publishing company use. Until consensus is reached, please dont revert. Bibliographic accuracy can co-exist with commonname policy, linking non-English names to the article shouldnt be done, its English wiki. The average reader would have to follow every link to find out actually where they are published and this in essence is unencyclopedic. Misplaced Pages is meant to be informative to many different levels of knowledge and understanding, a 💕 for the masses, most people in Ireland dont know where Cathair na Mairt is, and the general poplulation has been exposed to a least 9 years of Irish, so I dont expect some one from rural China to grasp it either.

I will read over some articles and get back with a proposal that hopefully will suit all. Thanks for taking the time to reply here. Murry1975 (talk) 13:53, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Be careful.

Be mindful when reverting/reporting vandalism. This recent revert you made is not vandalism and is actually a proper grammatical correction. only (talk) 14:02, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Daniel Devine

Okay, no bother. I assumed that as he stated he no longer wants to be considered for Northern Ireland's national team - opting instead for the Republic, that the ROI would be his designated flag. Sorry for reverting your edit. I'll go and change his flag on the Inverness CT 'current season' page. Cheers. Woodlandscaley (talk)

Anon IP

An accusation of sockpuppetry?. Pretty serious stuff for a new IP... --HighKing (talk) 14:54, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

lol, new, lol, good one :)

Both Zoombox and this IP arent new, as their knowledge of wiki proceses shows, and the admins at AN/I quite rightly picked up on it, both hey we could be the same guy! Actually we do have a bit in common bud, both Irish third-level educated dyslexics who edit in the same area and gnome it with IMOS. The IP is wikistalking my edits now, I have left a message for him to stop, if he doesnt I will report it, then the IP will get blocked and the actual account that uses it would get blocked too due to this. The admins will get a collatteral unblock request and hey BINGO. Murry1975 (talk) 15:01, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Doherty

Hey there, I had based nationality on this "Note: Flags indicate national team as has been defined under FIFA eligibility rules." which is true for Doherty.Dubs boy (talk) 18:23, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

We go by who he has played for at the highest level, he hasnt played for NI, and may never WP:CRYSTAL, if you read above on Devine, its the same guidelines. Shane Ferguson aswell when it was widely reported he was switching. Flags should generally illustrate the highest level the sportsperson is associated with. Murry1975 (talk) 18:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Tupolevjet

He's been at it again. Keeps reverting the consensus on the Irish counties. I'm afraid that I indulged in some edit warring. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:34, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Tupolevjet needs to be reported to ANI. Laurel Lodged, thank you for reverting but you need to stop reverting now, or you could get slapped with a drive-by block as happened me recently. Snappy (talk) 21:38, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Step back, dont do anything silly bud. I saw his edits earlier and was trying to come to a phrasing for discussion that he may respond to. Dont revert anymore, its really not worth it. And he shouldnt stick to planes either from what I have seen :) Joking aside we have to get him to dicuss his issues, if he doesnt then other actions may be needed. Its a content dispute, so AN/I isnt going to help. Will template aswell it might help. Murry1975 (talk) 21:42, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Counties

hi , your saying there are 37 counties in Ireland {republic and northern ] when there are only 32 .Fingal,South Dublin north Tipperary are administrative counties,what are basically , divisions of counties what act together to run the county .i hope to be helpful so pretty please stop — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tupolevjet (talk • contribs) 21:51, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

LGBT

my intent wasn't to be condescending, and that's fine. i'm pretty sure that the site would, at the very least, consider themselves allies (as i do). but let's adhere to WP:V and WP:RS. Kaini (talk) 01:16, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Derry

Murry1975, Can you provide neutral wording for RFC to be raised at Talk:Derry, consuming the points I made for poll? thanks, Dubs boy (talk) 16:18, 27 August 2013 (UTC) I will give it a try, probably tomorrow. The only thing is the wording of the RFC has to be neutral and not giuiding, either way, and this is a little hard, it has to be worded carefully. I have been thinking about, just give me until tommorow morning. Murry1975 (talk) 18:39, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

whats happening with this?Dubs boy (talk) 13:36, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Post to geography RFC

"Looking for opinions/comments for conformity to WP:LEDE, infobox place and WP:NPOV"

Avoids pointing in a non-neutral maner, lets those commenting form input from thier experience and knowledge of these matters. Murry1975 (talk) 13:16, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Not sure what you are saying? Have you raised an RFC or sought comments from another page on the issue?Dubs boy (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Some help here would be appreciated.Dubs boy (talk) 17:57, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool update

Hey Murry1975. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:40, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
