support

Brocach, I don't know you from Adam, but I'm prompted to reach out with a gesture of support. I see from ANI that your treatment there is a very typical example of an editor threatened with disciplinary action after making accurate, good-faith edits. My perception is that these disputes are invariably tilted towards accusers. Your detailed defense was dismissed as TL:DR; your record was examined for its adherence to contradictory, wikipedia policy impossible to satisfy; you're assigned bad motives and casual insults; any sharpness in your responses is interpreted as disruptive; and now that you've been mud-splattered you're one false move from a block or ban. It's a shameful way to treat a good volunteer. I want you to know I see the glaring unfairness here, and I encourage you to stay productive and engaged as an editor. all best --Lockley (talk) 01:20, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Irish counties

The NI county ledes have been argued over in the past and an agreement in the form of a stop-gap measure was implemented that has remained stable for around 3 years with no trouble despite the fact NI county ledes give more mention to the 32 counties than the RoI counties do (which is none). You would be wise to seek a consensus for any changes to their format or maybe even wiser to just stop pushing your agenda. Your extra addition in regards to their local government status is also redundant seeing as "is one of six counties that form Northern Ireland" - wikilinks to an article that makes it clear in its own lede! Mabuska ^(talk) 23:39, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I actually agree with Brocach and think it's reasonable to state in the lead that the county is no longer used for governmental administrative purposes. That seems quite relevant. The 32 traditional counties of Ireland (if that even means anything anymore) is slightly vaguer in my mind. Canterbury Tail talk 12:46, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wonders never cease... but having just spent a few days working on GAA programmes, I can assure you that in some quarters Ireland is still a country where the 32 counties mean something. Brocach (talk)

They're called "fantastists". — Jon C.^ॐ 16:14, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A new word for me. We live and learn. Brocach (talk)

Maybe it could be mentioned outside of the first paragraph of the lede seeing as the intros have been stable for around 3 years and should remain as they are. Sourced and better detailing of their current usage would be required however. Yet doing this for all Irish counties would be quite repetative, no? Hence why maybe it should be left to the actual counties of pages. Mention of the traditional 32 counties is relevant in terms of historical and non-governmental context: ie the GAA and Orange Order. I note however that Brocachs changes once again don't seem to make it across the border?! Mabuska ^(talk) 16:33, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I started with the six because the same text could readily be applied there; in the rest of the island many counties retain administrative functions so more nuanced wording is needed. Having been stable for three years (not sure that this is so in every case) is not in itself a reason to stop improving a lede, and I am still mystified as to why a factual, neutrally-worded edit counts in Mabuska's eyes as "pushing an agenda"; perhaps he/she could explain? Brocach (talk)

More nuanced? Hardly. Your rearranging of the lede was what that was in regards to. Also note how in my previous comment I suggested putting the former stuff in a subsequent paragraph. Thats called coming around to seeing how to include your addition that would keep the intro, aka the 1st paragraph stable. A more indepth explaining on the past and current usage can then be added to a "History" section to beef the articles up a bit. That would do more to improve the article and should really sort the issue out. That means I'm saying go ahead and stick the former stuff back into the ledes but in the 2nd or 3rd paragraph. I'll add historical stuff to the article body later. Mabuska ^(talk) 17:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastists. They live in a fantasty world. (No, it was a typo. Still, my point remains – yer a Nordie, get over it.) Agree with Mabuska that NI is the primary topic here; they're counties of Northern Ireland specifically and Ireland more generally. — Jon C.^ॐ 19:10, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They are/were also counties within the UK... Mabuska ^(talk) 20:01, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Counties of Ireland

After a period of calm, Laurel Lodged has gone on the offensive creating Category:Sportspeople from South Dublin (county) and Category:Sportspeople from Fingal.

Sockpuppet

Hi, just a note to let you know that 86.168.0.62 is back & editing. Regards Denisarona (talk) 13:43, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing my best with the articles that User:MFIreland continues to work on, but contributions by you, User:Guliolopez, User:Rivertorch and others have been very helpful. MFIreland clearly knows a bit about his topics; he could make a useful contribution if he understood how this venture works, and it is a pity that he hasn't the common sense to come clean, apologise, seek removal of the block and resume editing while abiding by the rules. As an unqualified psychologist I have him down as an Irish Army reservist frustrated by non-promotion and trouser-related disappointments. Brocach (talk) 23:28, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I know you are frustrated (the guy really pee-ed me off last year when this first started), but I just want to make 2 points:

You asked in an edit "why bother engaging with a sock?". I engage because it would be hypocritical to demand that other users (whoever they are) engage in CON and avoid editwars when I am not following that line myself.
In the above (and this edit) you seem to have taken the position to revert the guy no matter what. You acknowledge that some of his edits have merit. I saw this edit and decided it was one those "good edit"s. You saw it and reverted because it was a "bad editor". If the guy is ever going to come back from the dark-side, then we have to acknowledge the good.

I am far from suggesting some kind of Zen/Jedi approach to DDE, but we need to be careful about friendly fire. Guliolopez (talk) 14:28, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

His edits are likely to be routinely reverted while the block remains. His behaviour is so consistently unreasonable that I haven't, and won't always, take the time to sort out the wheat from the chaff. However I have made some further edits at that page. Brocach (talk) 15:11, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He's back at it, deleting improvements and reinstating unsourced or otherwise inferior versions. I will revert at will and encourage you and others to do likewise, this man does not listen. Brocach (talk) 22:00, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't elaborated at the SPI because it seemed this editor was finally beginning to engage. I'm pretty sure there is at least one registered account and another IP that could be added (without delving very deeply). I have always thought they could be a valuable asset to the project, but editors, no matter how certain of their 'correctness', should explain their position when asked and be otherwise prepared to engage constructively. That, surely, is not a big ask. It isn't my wish to 'close them down'. I would be the first to support the lifting of MFIreland's block if they asked, and were to edit using only that account. RashersTierney (talk) 12:13, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a good cop/bad cop approach would yield some results. But I tend to the view that a blocked, sockpuppeting editor should expect anything they edit to be reverted. Those of you who think that yet another chance should be given, despite the repetition of the offending behaviour again and again, can try that approach. I will certainly revert on sight any edits by him that remove improving material, or that are completely explained. Brocach (talk) 21:22, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I saw where you undid some sockpuppetry on 3rd Infantry Battalion (Ireland) where the sockpuppet changed the unit from 3rd to 3 Bn, however I believe that in the Irish DF he/she is correct. Adding suffixes to unit names is incorrect, it may be widely ignored/forgotten about but there is some merit in using the correct names.Bakaattack (talk) 14:04, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked both at official sources and at media coverage, it seems to me that the ordinals (3rd, 56th etc.) are frequently used, even in military sources, but that strictly speaking the numeral (3, 56) is the official form. I think the articles could go with the ordinal at first mention, and thereafter abbreviate; see 56th Reserve Infantry Battalion (Ireland), given after first mention as 56 Bn.

Gaelic names

Better provide sources for those Gaelic names otherwise they are viable for deletion for violating the IMoS in regards to the use of Gaelic names. Also your being quite pedantic about the birth places. Mabuska ^(talk) 23:19, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also it seems quite odd how rather than adding a {{cn}} tag to the birthplaces you go straight out and remove then despite the fact there are in some cases many unsourced things in those articles that you've ignored. Anti-Londonderry prejudice again Brocach? In fact you could simply just change the articles to state "from" instead. Why have you not? Mabuska ^(talk) 23:24, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The original and authentic Irish-language versions of GAA players' names are the names with which they are officially registered as GAA players. It is not possible to violate IMoS by giving the names as Gaeilge of GAA players who by definition use the |Irish version of their name (if one exists): it is, in fact, a requirement of IMoS that the Irish name, even if less used, be in the first sentence. For people whose notability relates to their achievements as members of the GAA, separate sources could more credibly be demanded for the Anglicised versions of their names, so stop challenging the Irish names.

As for birthplaces: either a Derry GAA player was born in a hamlet, village, town or farm without maternity facilities, or they were born in one of the four maternity hospitals in which almost all Derry people still active in the GAA were born. I know where those four places are, being a Derryman, but I don't know in every case who was born where. If there is a source saying that someone was born in a particular place that's fine. I have no problem with people being listed as "from" X, and have never changed that, if they merely happened to be born in Y because that's where the maternity facility was, but were brought up in X. Brocach (talk) 23:57, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And for an editor with such an interest in Derry GAA articles, how come it took me to update the senior team managers list seeing as the present manager in it had stepped down last year! Mabuska ^(talk) 23:43, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Living now in Armagh and being more than a bit involved with Armagh GAA, I do not follow Derry affairs as closely as I would if I lived there, and although I try to keep myself up to date, I do not dash to Wikipedia to input every change that occurs in Derry. I rely on other Gaelic sports enthusiasts like yourself to do that. As you probably have noticed, I edit extensively on GAA matters across many counties. So long as we all work together in a collaborative and respectful way, we can improve this encyclopaedia together, and it doesn't matter who says what as long as the overall quality and reliability is maintained. I am deleting your latest post here since it doesn't meet those criteria. If you want to engage with me, stop using insulting and aggressive language. I'm ready to listen if you can remain civil.

In response to your reply: if you dropped your blatant anti-Londonderry prejudice from your editing, and formulated factual and logical reasons for most of your opinions, rather than endlessly repeating poorly thought out arguments that shows your lack of historical knowledge, as well drop your edit-warring nature that your now associated with, then maybe I could engage with you on a more mature way.

Ballymaguigan

According to [3] it's "Naomh Trea Baile Mhic Uiginn CLG" not "CLG Naomh Trea Baile Mhic Uiginn". Considering that's at least two Gaelic clubs that disagree with your view of what they are called, maybe you should give it a rest. Mabuska ^(talk) 11:58, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Been away for a while so just seeing this now. This is a non-negotiable grammar issue; "Naomh Trea Baile Mhic Uiginn CLG" is the exact equivalent of "Football Club Manchester United". It's wrong, even if it's on two or more GFC websites. Brocach (talk) 19:34, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is original research. Just to point out I saw a source that has Slaghneills with CLG at the end of the name as well. Are all these clubs wrong or maybe is it you? If several clubs say their name is such a way then who are you to overrule them without any evidence that says they have it otherwise? Mabuska ^(talk) 17:42, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am at a loss to understand why using the long-settled grammatical rules of a particular language could possibly count as original research. The grammar of the Irish language always and everywhere demands that, in phrases describing a thing that is located in a place, or a thing that is named after a real or mythical person, the thing gets named first followed by the descriptive element. Thus "Armagh Cinema" is rendered as "Cinema of Armagh" (Amharclann Ard Mhacha), "St George's Church" can only be given as "Church of St George" (Eaglais N. Sheoirse) and so on, hence "CLG Naomh Trea" rather than nonsensical forms such as "Naomh Trea CLG". It is for those proposing novel forms outside the rules of grammar to provide some authority. Brocach (talk) 21:37, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whether your right or not, Wikipedia works with sources and so far I've found quite a few official club websites that stick the CLG in the Irish form of their name at the end of it and none so far with it at the front. You may very well be correct but I've seen no proof of these clubs using the "gramatically correct" form. Mabuska ^(talk) 20:16, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you really saying - I've read it a few times but can't take it in - that you haven't found any pages that use the correct form "CLG XXX"? Shall I take you by the hand and lead you through the GAA cyberspace? Brocach (talk) 22:33, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

March 2014

This applies to your recent edit at Shane O'Neill's GAC as you are still pushing your flawed and disruptive POV in regards to removing Northern Ireland from the intros of articles on places/teams etc. and in regards to you acting as if you know the Irish names of clubs better than the actual club does even when it is cited. Also add in your complete failure everytime to provide any sources to back up your claims that these clubs spell their Irish names the way you say they do. Shane O'Neill's own website clearly states Cumann as does the club badge. Not CLG. Please cease and desist these disruptive edits. Mabuska ^(talk) 00:00, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! You finally found a source after all this time to back yourself up. Pity the clubs website still contradicts this and I'd say the club knows its name better. No reason why both can't be added though. Mabuska ^(talk) 00:05, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Cumann" as used in the club website is, for anyone familiar with GAA club sites, an abbreviation of "Cumann Lúthchleas Gael". This is the Irish for Gaelic Athletic Club. "Cumann" is the Irish for "Club". This particular club is a Gaelic Athletic Club. It is registered with Armagh GAA as a Gaelic Athletic Club, "Cumann Lúthchleas Gael", and is subordinate to the Armagh County Board of the GAA. Armagh GAA is subordinate to the Ulster Council, Ulster GAA. The cited source from Ulster Council - two levels of governance above the club - shows that the proper name of the club is Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Sheáin Úi Néill. Do you have any higher authority?

Nomination of Armagh Cricket Club for deletion

Hi there. I recently nominated Armagh Cricket Club for deletion, and I noticed that in it's previous deletion discussion you had mentioned that you might try to improve the article. I did not find enough sources and I therefore believe that it fails notability, but I thought I would notify you in case you wanted to contribute to the discussion.
