Closed AfD
Hey there, just so you know, whenever an AfD is closed, the AfD discussion page has to be updated to reflect this. I've gone ahead and done it for you. There are instructions on this here, in case you ever need to do this again (although normally only administrators can close them, so you probably won't need to worry about it much). Cheers!

We need to keep he is alive until we can confirm otherwise, if there are doubts we musnt make a mistake or end up with egg over our faces, SqueakBox 21:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

What you did was fine but I dont think we should mention it in the opening yet, SqueakBox 21:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Semi protection
Just thought you should know that the template sprotected does not actually semi protect a page, it just notes that a page has been protected. Only admins can protect or semi protect pages. There is a longstanding view that the main page feautured article should not be protected however. Although the target of much vandalism, it is the first page many see of the free encyclopedia anyone anyone can edit and its been felt to be offputting if that page cannot in fact be edited. Many users watchlist the mainpage FA and vandalism is reverted fairly quickly. Hope that clears up any confusion, WJBscribe 16:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Page move
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy and paste page move. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself using the move link at the top of the page, follow the instructions at Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Russ (talk) 20:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Excirial
With reference to your previous revert I feel the information contained in my edit is constructive. Perhaps you were put off by the nature of the language but that is the tone of this particular show. I have contributed to the article before and thus should feel no inclination whatsoever to purposefully vandalise my own work. from own talk page 11:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You are correct that the revert was based upon the tone of the edit. Normally i would have reverted the rollback after consulting the user page of the user in question, but at this time i seem to have forgotten to do so. My apologies. --Excirial 11:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

November 2007
Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'

Sorry
When I saw your unsuccessful redirect attempt I pressed the wrong button so it was labeled "vandalism", I apologize. WooyiTalk to me? 23:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Archive
Random comment! You seem to have a lot of subjects within your talk page, perhaps you'd like to archive it? I wouldn't resume to do so myself. Rehevkor (talk) 05:12, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

re: fair use images
Hi, thanks for your reply. I left the messages where I did because I thought it would be more organized under one topic. But I can see how you could miss them and I should've realized that As for replacability of images, I think Wikipedia's policies have gotten stricter since you've uploaded many of your images, but basically, copyrighted photographs of living people are almost never accepted. The key with fair use image is the notability of the image itself, rather than what's in the image - otherwise, if a person is alive and makes public appearances, it's not considered unreasonably difficult to create a free alternative. Again, thanks for responding on my talk page. --Mosmof (talk) 02:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The rules themselves haven't changed, at least not much, I think. I think they've gotten stricter about enforcing the rules. Just don't think of these dispute tags as saying you're doing something wrong - copyright is complicated -complicated enough that you can make good money as a copyright attorney- so it's normal not to know exactly what is and isn't fair use, and it's really a gray area. If you're not sure or you disagree, the best thing might be to take images to Fair use review and get multiple opinions on the matter. --Mosmof (talk) 16:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Cois Fharraige
It just reads rather like an ad promo, rather than an impartial description of the event. Take a look at other events' articles and try to make it more like their, perhaps? — OwenBlacker (Talk) 14:06, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Fáilte Towers
If you can increase the prose in Fáilte Towers to 1500+ characters before this is more than 5 days old, it may be possible to get a Did You Know hook onto the front page. The hook must be verifiably referenced and less than 200 characters long. Hope you can help do that. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 00:28, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I really didn't see the point of making an alt of alt hook, when all you seem to have done is modify the format of the article title and add a wikilink. Seems redundant really and complicates the DYK, as people need to look very closely for the differences. (I reply where the discussion starts, so I am watching you) ww2censor (talk) 20:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I had never been involved in that area before and was looking to broaden my horizons. Is the fact to be included as no one but us seems to notice? Should I ask someone else to run over its suitability before the time runs out? -- 02:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Regarding the DYK, there are admin who quality the hooks and verify the references, sometimes making suggestions on how to improve the hook or dismiss them as being ineligible. Just watch the page if you are anxious, or just wait and see if a DYK notice get posted to the article talk page. There is no need to ask anyone, unless there are questions about the hook or article, which is why you should occasionally view the article hook. Hope it works because it seemed interesting to me. I have been submitting them occasionally for some time and recently got a few published. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 03:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Gogan
Just left a note on the Larry Gogan article. While I'm here, don't know how old you are (but I'm guessing your musical interests don't cover these) but have you info to add to Gina, Dale Haze and the Champions or Luv Bug?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 16:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. I've got what I can from the net, so I doubt if you'd find much more. Never mind. Irish groups that don't make it outside of Ireland (certainly groups from the 80s) usually wouldn't have many fans - or at least ones that would contribute on here. Never mind, but I was just interested to learn more about them.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 17:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Ger McDonnell
Howdy. Just to let you know that I moved your suggestion for this on the DYK page from the August 14th to the August 12th section, as DYK generally works on the date the article was created (or expanded) rather than the date the hook was suggested. Just in case you had trouble finding it... but on the plus side it'll be on the main page two days sooner. Regards, Iain99Balderdash and piffle 20:12, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I made an expanded hook adding the first Irish person to summit K2 that I have also directly referenced in the article. The DYK admins like to see the facts of the hook directly referenced as opposed to having to search for a reference. Hope that works. I wondered who would start this article., BTW I'm not watching!!!! Cheers ww2censor (talk) 16:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Women's Marathon
I have posted 1-51, but some of the flagIOCathlete templates will not work. Perhaps you can fix them instead of reposting over me. Racepacket (talk) 02:59, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Featured List contest
Hey, this is , co-coordinator of the WikiCup; just informing you of the Featured List contest, starting this coming Friday. You may want to check it out; it will keep you busy for the time being before the WikiCup starts around January. Thanks for listening!  iMa tth ew (talk) 22:10, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Apology
Not a problem. If it was just an oversight, I can definitely live with that. The problem I have is with nominators who don't actually intend to work on the article, which apparently wasn't the case here. I apologize for my comments, as they were obviously unwarranted. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the sock notice from your userpage, as it is quite evident that you are not a sock, also, the sock notice was added by a now-blockd sockpuppet of a blocked vandal.

Hi Hi,

Hope you are doing well. I'm one of the producers for this film and would like to update this page with more information. The official website of the film is www.deathorcanada.com and the trailer can be viewed at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xkfoob54QM

Can you help me with this or let me know how to?

Thanks,

Daniel Thomson daniel.thomson@ballinran.com


 * Hi, thanks for the message. I'll stick the two links in if they haven't already been inserted. How do you like the page? Anything else I can help with or adjust? -- 22:45, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for that! I've been trying to edit it myself with mixed results :( I'm new to this.  It'd be great if you could help me.  I'd like to add a picture gallery as well.  Can we communicate over email so I can send you some snaps?  I love what you've done with this page so far!!!  Did you watch the film on RTE?  We are all very proud of it and are hoping to share it with as many people as possible.

Hello. Just to let you know, if you want to back up someone's proposed deletion rationale (as in the case of the mysterious Blain Murphy), there's a handy template to do that with: Prod-2. Makes things look less cramped. Cheers. -- Kife 21:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: DYK request
Hey, it turns out I'm about to be doing some traveling too, but I should have at least 30 minutes or so every morning to check stuff, so I will do my best to give yours a quick review either today or first thing tomorrow. Enjoy your holiday! Politizer talk / contribs 14:42, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
