Your edit to Ireland[edit]

Hi there--I removed the links you inserted on the main Ireland article; they seem like good links but would be better associated with more specific topics, for example, the Sheela Na Gig article and so forth. The external links on the main Ireland article are limited to sites which broadly pertain to Ireland as a whole. Dppowell 16:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Anthony Weir[edit]

A tag has been placed on Anthony Weir, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Chris 73 | Talk 18:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Irish poetry[edit]

Hi Weirwolf, Thanks for your contributions to Irish poetry. Unfortunately, I had to revert them as it's not appropriate to post autobiographical content in Wikipedia articles. Please check out the links others have provided above about Wikipedia guidelines. Thanks! ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 22:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Signing talk pages[edit]

I just thought I might offer you some help in signing talk pages, since how you've done it is unconventional. By inserting the text ~~~~ in the edit box of a talk page (by typing or pressing the signature button), your username and the time/date of your post will automatically be inserted without you having to type in your name. If you would prefer your name to appear after your posts instead of your username, you can use the "Signature" field in your preferences and still just type ~~~~ to sign. If you want to test your sig, I'd suggest using the sandbox. Let me know if you want more help with your sig. Happy editing! timrem 00:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sheela na gig[edit]

I think you need to cite your new additions and to keep on topic. The claims about images of Jesus with an erection seem rather far off topic, and again are uncited (I know Steinberg's Sexuality of Christ), but it is later. Some of the work of Michael Camille might be relevant, but a simple comment that sexual exhibitionist imagery was relatively common might be all that's needed. The comments about hiberno-feminism etc are rather too POV without citations. Paul B 11:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

REPLY: Photos of Jesus with erection appear on my website. I think Wikipedia is in something of a bind: it is a virtual would-be authority but it seems not to recognise virtual references, only published ones.

Frankly I don't care what you do with my edits because I do not have a high opinion of Wikipedia (its entries on subjects like this put the reader to sleep!), and I only made my recent contributions as a result of a reference I got from a friend. You can delete them all if you like. I cannot understand your instructions about 'signing' - they are written in gobbledygook. Whether I 'sign' or not is not important to me. And if it's important to you, either 'sign' for me, or erase everything I have written.

FURTHER REPLY: Your problem with this topic is that you are communicating with the sole expert in the field, who is still getting material and photographing it, and putting it online. I have visited well over a thousand Romanesque churches to research the context of exhibitionists and images of sin. My website on the subject is vast, and includes hundreds of photos, all illustrating a text which is successor to Images of Lust. My website is the authority - not Wikipedia, which so far as I can see is useful only for tyros and teenagers, or (for example) to check on dates, such as the Fourth Crusade or the Third Lateran Council.

With all due respect Anthony, please read Wikipedia: No Original Research and the pages on conflict of interest. I'm afraid your additions are going to have to be removed. I encourage you to please post them on your website, and to publish your work in hardcopy, then others can cite it. Thanks, - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 22:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My "instructions about signing"? What were they then? There's nothing about signing in what I wrote above. Please try to respond to what people actually say. Frankly, if you are such a great expert as you believe yourself to be, you should have no trouble citing scholarly sources, but you come across as a tediously blustering narcissist.Paul B 23:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC) .[reply]

Cathar castles[edit]

I have removed your edition to the above article and given reasons on the talk page. I hope it makes sense. You seem to have some knowledge of the castle at Penne. I don't know it - bit out of my area. Any chance of an article? Emeraude 12:24, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your spelling leaves something to be desired: "edition" is not the same word as "addition".

In view of the sub-literacy of the "editors" or "additors" or indeed "subtractors" there is no chance of an article for this no-nocyclopedia! Obviously, there were dozens of castles occupied by sympathisers to the Cathars, and all castles were prey to Simon de Montfort and his Ethnic Cleansers, so all that could be sacked were sacked. There's tons of information on this. I cannot see how to remove my 'profile' altogether from this thought-destroying site.Weirwolfwikipedia 19:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
