== N21/Adare Bypass ==


Hi Sarah777: No, I feel that the Adare bypass article would best remain seperate from the N21 page. I created it as an aside to the Adare page and, if anything, should be merged into that. The bypass is going to impact on Archaeology and the economy of Adare (including property rights) during the construction phase. When the road is completed <i>then</i> I would support merging it into the N21 page. ]

== Edit warring admins == == Latest version ==

Hi Sarah, read just Domer48 (talk) 20:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC). They are still causing problems, on a number of pages I edit. Fozz placed it on the An/I notice board, and it just got filed away. Check out the posts of Fozz's talk page re: shot at dawn, fozz is being helpful. About the only one. Look after yourself, or we will be in the dock again ;). --] (]) 15:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

:If everyone is cowed for fear of being in the dock we ain't going to solve the ] and the abuse of Admin powers. Someone has got to be prepared to speak out. (] (]) 15:43, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

::Hey Sarah, there is no easy way through this. Although Misplaced Pages is not supposed to be a democracy, when it comes to content disputes in high profile articles, it is a democracy of admins and the outcome tends to be the PoV of the majority of those admins who care enough to be involved in a given article. This is not at all how WP policy says things should work, but it's how they work in practice. Moreover, this is an efficient way to keep codswallop off the wiki but it also can smother highly meaningful, published "minority" takes on topics.

::Discussing this kind of thing on an article talk page can result in blocks for disruption, even vandalism (threats/warnings will almost always come first though). RfCs only help when admin "abuse" is way, way over the top or an admin has become very unpopular ("disruptive") among a big group of other admins. The only steadfast way to get by two or more PoV warring admins is with three or more very experienced, articulate, cool-headed and patient editors who have some understanding of the topic and khow to cite under ] and ] and are willing to spend the time doing it but, it's hard to find three editors like this who are all so keen on the same article at the same time (even if one goes looking for them). Without this, the most helpful thing one can do is find articles meaningful to you but which aren't steeped in controversy (there are tens of thousands to look through) and grow them with strong citations. A little "back and forth" about article content is always ok but when it becomes a dispute or PoV war, you may find the time you're spending on it isn't worth it, neither for you or WP.

::Having said this, I should say Misplaced Pages more or less "works" over longer stretches of time, which is one of the cool things about this wiki. Another cool thing about it is, editors who like nothing more or less than researching and writing in themselves, to helpfully edit articles for the sake of it, can always find something to do without stirring up a fuss. I've found that abusive admins, sooner or later, do either mend their ways, get de-sysoped or stop editing altogether (I've seen this happen so many times). Mind, this is only my take on this, as an editor. Cheers! ] (]) 16:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

::::The problem Gwen, is the system is '''NOT''' working, in certain crucial areas. Not even nearly. One of which is on the issue of the "Anglo-American" world v. it's opponents. "List of massacres" shines a spotlight on this; we have two Admins edit warring currently and applying a totally uneven requirement of proof for killings by US Marines and other Western forces compared to killings by others. (] (]) 19:08, 23 December 2007 (UTC))

::::::Yes, this is what I was trying to say. If an article (wontedly one on a topic which is widely known in popular culture) becomes controversial, the system may not work. As written, it should, since sources one way or another are given their sway, but some PoV warring admins have learned the trick of rejecting the sources themselves and when challenged, they resort to anything... like ridicule, followed by disruption warnings if one persists in discussing it on a talk page, I've even seen vandalism warnings. At the pith, there is a self-selecting bias in the system for the PoVs held by admins (whose first interest here is often, but not quite often enough, editing articles for the sake of it). Sometimes this saves time but too often it keeps helpful content out of articles. Moreover, this can get flipped: Admin bias can wind up encouraging sources which are nothing more than empty and dodgy hearsay but which support the prevailing popular PoV among admins. ] (]) 19:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I've no problem going up against this , I just bury them in top notch references, and watch them wriggle. It's when they abuse their admin tools, because they lack the cop on, to back up their opinions is were the community should step in. First off, a no nonsence approch accross the board on civility on article talk pages. If it is an admin, who should know better, impose a loss of tools on a graded scale. --] (]) 17:02, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
:Yep, spot on. The latter's easier said than done though. I mean, some folks are here more for the ] side of this wiki than out of any thrill for writing, research or meaningful learning (never mind the ]s since that's not what we've been talking about). ] (]) 17:13, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

== Delvin Castle ==

Merry Christmas Sarah....

Your editions are mis-informed (incorrect) concerning Delvin / Clonyn Castle.
In Delvin, there exists the old and the newer (or more recent) castle both are associated with Delvin town.
The older and more VISIBLY obvious exists within the town itself. The more recent castle exists some 300m away situated on higher ground, where exists today an excellent golf course. One of the accesses to the Castle exists on the N52,from Mullingar arriving into Delvin on the left hand side. The golf-course castle access is situated on the Collinstown/Drumcree/ Castlepollard road living Delvin on the left immediately having passed the Catholic Church on the right.

With all the good will that you possess, your edit is therefore utterly incorrect. Clonyn and Delvin are undissociable.
Admit others with exact local knowledge to proceed at their guise.

Happy New Year 2008

:Deepest apologies. What threw me was that the article stated that Delvin Castle was in Mullingar - which it obviously ain't. I checked a few websites and saw there were two separate castles.- Delvin/Nugent (which I know well) and '''Clonyn''' which I had never heard of. And I see Clonyn is again described (twice) as being in "Mullingar", which is 18 km from Delvin. Need to fix that, local or not! (] (]) 14:22, 26 December 2007 (UTC))

Incredible number of articles where no one has bothered to cross link to Years in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

== 1641 ==

Hi Sarah, you have raised a number of very informative comments on the above article. I have some concerns myself, but am a bit tied up right now. I had a bit of luck on one of the articles I like to edit, there was a lot of information I wanted to add, but could not work out how to introduce it, until this presented it's self. I have a copy of a number of the witness statements, and a lot on the type of bullets, if I had added it earlier, the cry of POV would have been sounded. Some of the most intresting information is in the National Archives, so it should address any and all concerns. Take care, --] (]) 13:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks Domer; I guess the ''reaction'' to my attempts to eliminate pov language from certain articles gives the game away (or at least the sympathies of the authors). While some of us have no difficulty openly declaring our POV (without seeking to introduce it into Wiki) some folk with manifestly equal and opposite pov either believe or pretend to believe they have none. Many of these articles need to be examined for anti-Irish editing and nobody better to spot the bias than pro-Irish folk! (] (]) 14:08, 26 December 2007 (UTC))

I have laid out my pov on my user page, and referenced it first. The one POV that really gets my goat is the whole religious conflict in Ireland one. Religion was introduced into the conflict, by the occupying power. If the Irish had been the same religion as the planters, some other difference would have been exploited or invented. This . One of the best books I’ve read on the subject is “Life of Hugh O’Neill, by John Mitchel, first published in 1845. First chance I get, I post some quotes on the talk page. Paul Larkin, used some of the information from it, in his latest film which was screened on TG 4. Take care, and in the words of Tom Williams, “carry on my gallant comrades.” --] (]) 21:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

== List of Massacres ==

Hi Sarah. I don't know whats going on in this article, but regarding edit summary, you are are mistaken. I'm guessing you are referring to The Trouble's ArbCom. Firstly, I doubt this article would be covered in that decision, and secondly, the remedy is that a revert of an IP does not count among the single revert per weeks afforded to those under probation. It does not apply to ], which will still be invoked for IP reversions. I just wanted to let you know before you find yourself blocked for 3RR without realizing it. ]<font color="black">e</font>] 03:28, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Sarah, I answered you on my talk page and while I tend to agree with you about the content, I wholly agree with ], you could get blocked if you rv more than three times in one day on this article (even an IP's edits) and moreover, if you steadily rv a couple of times a day for several days you could be blocked for edit warring. All the best to you! :) ] (]) 03:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

::That is a very poor system; it means if I have to go away for say, a week - come back, make the change and then one of the tag-team simply reverts again in minutes. That is where I came in! The only way to combat that would be to form ones own tag-team - hardly a recipe for constructive editing. This collaborative effort by a group of editors has succeeded for '''THREE YEARS''' in keeping this article "safe for the West". What is being offered is no remedy at all. (] (]) 03:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC))
:::Think of it this way, a consensus of editors sticking to ] can, over time, helpfully sway almost anything on this wiki. ] (]) 04:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
::::But it hasn't worked here, where the main consensus is that ''US troops don't do massacres in Iraq, period''. And literally '''every''' trick in the book has ensured that nothing has been achieved in three years. ] can be managed and manipulated; that is what is happening here. -- ] (]) 04:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

: The decision is ]. Note that it is a remedy the lists the "terms of probation" specifically for those listed, and that they are limited to 1RR per week on articles related to the Troubles. As far as I am aware, you are not on probation from that case, so it doesn't apply to you, and this issue is not related to the Troubles or baronets, so it wouldn't apply even if you were.
:However, it does raise an interesting point, that if an IP was editing appropriately on a Troubles related article and someone on probation reverted 4 times in 24hrs, they could possibly claim that ArbCom said "reversion of edits by anonymous IPs do not count as a revert" and thus are exempt from 3RR. I don't think this is what ArbCom intended, as the remedy was specifically to counter the named people from gaming the system by logging out, not to diminish the contributions of people who choose to edit anonymously. I guess if that happened ArbCom could clarify.
: Regarding the content itself, I'm not quite sure the basis for it being removed, but it looks fine to me. Some of the sources, like Indymedia, are not exactly ] but there are enough of them to make up for that, and alongside The Independent I don't think it is a big deal. Is the "tag-team" removing it on the basis that it is not accurately sourced? ]<font color="black">e</font>] 04:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, the content looks ok to me too. Meantime the article name is rather PoV and the content is list/label-oriented, which draws PoV warriors to it from both sides. I mean, I think any war is a massacre from beginning to end. Either way though, the outcome of the edit warring is, the page is now protected from editing. ] (]) 04:29, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

::The article name is a disaster; more appropriate to the ] than Wiki. How the top guys don't simply come down and say "this is not an appropriate article title for a serious encyclopedia" I do not know. At least myself and PB Shearer agreed on that but it failed proposals to merge or delete it. A handful of objecting editors = no consensus; thus this blot on Wiki's credibility remains. While I think Philip's perspective is skewed I honestly believe that even with the most neutral Admin possible it wouldn't work - because any ''consistent'' test of massacre will either open the floodgates to thousands of incidents or will eliminate everything.

===reduction to semi-protection 2008-01-19===

He reduced it to semi-protect, which ''will'' keep that anon from editing, but I'm not sure that really resolves the issue. I mean, he ''is'' an admin ''and'' an interested party on the page's content. He says in his edit summary that he wants to see if the edit war can be resolved, and removed all of what he said you had identified as problem entries to the talk page for discussion there.

That's just borderline, in my opinion, to using admin powers to gain an advantage in a content dispute. In continuing to assume good faith, I won't yet restore the full protection, but I at the very least would like to have been consulted first.

We'll see how it goes from here. If the edit warring starts again, I will restore the full protection. I also think what Phillip did is pretty much a tacit admission that we need an article RFC — the bones of contention are clearly far deeper than the reliability of sources for one entry on the list. ] (]) 19:43, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

: Hello Sarah. Sorry I got to the party late. Since your request on my page, things seemed to have progressed somewhat. Its difficult to keep track exactly, so I'm just going to respond to your request. My apologies if what I am about to say has already been mentioned.
:Firstly, I can't block TU for making more than one revert a week because he is not currently listed as being on probation per the Troubles ArbCom. The remedies were a bit of a mess at the end, and were not what I would have chosen, but we are at the mercy of ArbCom. My understanding of their decision was that only {{User|Vintagekits}} was placed on probation ''immediately'' (as a condition of his unblocking). All the other named participants and "any user who hereafter engages in edit-warring or disruptive editing on these or related articles" may "be placed on Probation by any uninvolved administrator". This has since happened to {{User|LiberalViews}}, {{User|MarkThomas}}. In addition {{User|Princess Pea Face}} and {{User|Aatomic1}} were placed under it for one month, which has since expired. So, all admins can do in the first instance is place editors under the probation.
: So should TU be placed under the probation? Well, it takes two to edit-war, and you were also reverting. How about you both discuss the issues rather than revert over it? It seems to have died down now, but if this info-box warring continues, then I will protect the article for a while, thereby stopping anyone from reverting. ]<font color="black">e</font>] 03:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

== On mature reflection.... ==

On the basis of the old "all out of step except Johnny" test (not applicable if all the those in step are from the same Army; but obviously that's not the case here) I wish to '''apologise to all involved for my bad-tempered behaviour'''; especially, Alison, Padraig (who was 100% correct about my 'pettiness' on the Ireland article, obviously) and TU (God this isn't easy!).

In mitigation (not defence) of my tantrum I can only say that I felt (and still do feel) that Domer was the victim of a bad call.

I will now self-impose a prohibition on myself and stay away from all Troubles-related articles (not including issues pre-1700) till 13:55 on January 15th for being such a twat and will resume my anger-management classes asap.

== User:86.158.67.84 ==

Hi Sarah and thanks for your message. I've dropped them a message about 3rr; you need to be aware that a content dispute is not something I can exercise my admin tools over, although I agree with you in this case on the content dispute. Secondly I cannot indef block an IP address as they may change over time and another user could be innocently blocked. I note that they have not reverted since I warned at 18:12 on 20 January 2008, so that's good.

If they do revert again, feel free to let another admin know (not me as I have reverted another of their unhelpful contributions and it might look like I was trying to enforce "my" version) and they can be blocked. For future reference any user can place a 3rr warning, but no user is likely to be blocked for edit warring unless they continue after a specific warning.

Best wishes to you, and thanks again for that help you gave me a while back. Slainthe, --] (]) 01:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

:Yes John, your warning may have worked, thanks. ] (]) 01:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== List of Massacres ==

Hi Sarah. I have re-protected the article, since compromise has clearly not been reached. I have asked any admin who is interested in the content of the article not to unprotect, instead to approach an uninvolved admin with the compromise. Its looking, to me, that now is the time to seek some type of dispute mediation process. ]<font color="black">e</font>] 01:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

You would appear to have added some categories like this one with the wrong template - It should have been built with {{t1|IrelandDecade}}. If there are others they will need fixing. Thanks. :: ] : ]/] 10:05, 22 January 2008 (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)
