Speedy deletion of Railroads in ireland
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Leonard( Bloom ) 19:15, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. I'll make the redirect. thanks for telling me. Leonard( Bloom ) 19:20, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Irish republicanism
You dropped a complaint about the current WikiProject Ireland assessment on an archive page which is likely not monitored by many people, so you are lucky I even noticed it but you have reminded me to add an archive template to the page. This is really something you should discuss on the assessment talk page or request a review here but you will see that even the Irish Republicanism WikiProject has rated it as High-class and not Top-class, so I doubt that WikiProject Ireland will make it top either.

BTW, I noticed you angry post about getting deletion messages. Perhaps, as a new user, you don't know that you can start an article in one of your user pages and when it is ready you can then move it to the mainspace, thereby avoiding such notices for pages with little or no content. Just add a slash and the name you choose for the page and hit the return button, up comes the options to save a new page by that name, e.g., User:Danfly/New page. You may well want to check out several of the halp pages where there are answers to virtually everything you need to know or ask at the Village Pump for help. It is better to learn the correct way to do things and do them right, rather than force other to clean up after you. There is enough work dealing with real vandals. Cheers (I respond where I first post, so I am watching this page). ww2censor (talk) 05:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I put the Republicanism comment where I did because I thought the talk page was for more important things (like if my comment was noticed and actually had support from other users). I had difficulty deciding where to place it since i looked at the assessment article and couldn't find the correct protocol. It also seemed that there were more minor suggestions on the page where I posted. Seriously, its only high importance to the republicanism project? hehe. They must have just copied wikiproject Ireland's ratings without thinking because that makes no sense whatsoever. It's exactly like the Ireland project rating Ireland as high rather than top. Anyway, I don't mind whether it's high or top as long as there is an explanation for it.


 * Thanks for the advice. That hadn't crossed my mind, but there are a lot of help pages on wikipedia about different subjects. Can you blame me for not reading all of them? I'll remove my rant section now since it serves no purpose anymore, which makes me sad, since I kind of liked it :) --Danfly (talk) 14:16, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Just realised I left it on an archive page. That must have been annoying. Sorry --Danfly (talk) 15:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. Indeed there is a lot in the help pages. Assessments are subjective and perhaps you are reading too much into it. We have been trying to be very careful to keep the top classification for just a small number of articles and will likely review all the top and high articles assessments but right one of our main contributors is on a wikibreak. If you need some help, just ask and I will try to help you. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 15:40, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Spelling! Oops! ww2censor (talk) 16:49, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

It happens us all :). Oh, and thanks very much for your advice on creating articles through a userpage. I was only able to make the Ardagh Chalice infobox because of it. --Danfly (talk) 21:13, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

New Section
I just put this heading here to put a bit of order on this talk page --Danfly (talk) 14:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Danfly, don't forget that if you want to reply to someone, you need to do it on their talk page, not yours. Keep up the good work! --Red King (talk) 19:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * (outdent) But not if they request otherwise or have a note on their talk page asking for the discussion to talk place where it started. Red King, my first post specifically asked Danfly to respond here as I personally hate having to jump from my talk page back to an other editor's talk page to follow a one-on-one discussion. Hey Danfly it depend on the personal preference of each editor but mostly he is correct but you may come around to my way of thinking when you have jumped around too much. I don't have the energy to hop anymore - maybe RedKing has Duracell batteries installed! Cheers ww2censor (talk) 23:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Heh, maybe. I explained the situation to him already anyway --Danfly (talk) 14:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, as it was I who welcomed Danfly, I felt I should stand ready to tip him off about the little foibles of WP. [Which was the reason for the deep indent - the typographical equivalent of a whisper from the wings.]
 * Well, Danfly, it looks like you have got your wings so I'll unwatch your talk page. All the best from here on in! --Red King (talk) 22:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

New Ireland Wikimedia email list
Greetings Danfly

I'm pleased to announce that we've started a new Ireland Wikimedian email list, that you can join, at WikimediaIE. For Wikimedians in Ireland and Wikimedians interested in events in Ireland and efforts in Ireland. It's there to to discuss meetups, partnerships with Museums and National Archives, and anything else where Wikipedia and real life intersect :) --Bastique demandez 17:04, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, would you be so kind as to give us support!
Hello, I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. I've just read your profile and I saw that you're interested in culture and archeology and also proud to be Irish (I wish I can visit your wonderful country some time soon!), so you understand what are a minorized language and culture and maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... I'm a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this hasn't been approved up to that moment. We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Supporting us will be like giving equal opportunity to minorized languages and cultures in the future! Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care! Keep on preserving your great culture, country, music and language! Slán agat! Capsot (talk) 07:24, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The 10,000 Challenge
Hi, at The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
