 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at List of stadiums in the United Kingdom by capacity, you may be blocked from editing. – 2 . O . Boxing  23:47, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Carl Frampton. – 2 . O . Boxing  23:48, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Conduct notice
Just so you know, Wikipedia is not the place for you to push your agenda regarding the status of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom. I would advise you to refrain from going against the accepted consensus regarding the status of the nations that occupy the island of Ireland. – PeeJay 16:26, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Ireland does have a rugby team. Who do you think competed in the World Cup? The national flag of Ireland is the Irish Tricolour, Amhrán na Bfhiann and Ireland’s Call are the national anthems of Ireland which are both used at Ireland matches. The flag that was being displayed on the page was the logo for the IRFU, not the national flag like the rest of the teams used. FootlongWiki (talk) 22:57, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * No, the Republic of Ireland does not have its own team. The Irish team that competes in international competitions represents both the Republic and Northern Ireland. The tricolour does not represent Northern Ireland, so we use a version of the IRFU flag instead. Hope that clears things up for you. Don’t be afraid to drop me a line if you’re confused about anything else Ireland-related. Cheers. – PeeJay 10:35, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, but I’m pretty sure Ireland used the Tricolour along with the Ulster flag before matches in the World Cup. FootlongWiki (talk) 12:28, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * If that's even true, the key words there are "along with". You replaced a flag designed to cover both nations with a flag that, by definition, only represents one (and a minority of people in the other). You also changed the links from Ireland national rugby union team to Republic of Ireland; if that doesn't betray your intent here, I don't know what does. Finally, I don't know where you got the idea that Ireland's Call is the anthem of the Republic of Ireland; that song was written for use at Ireland rugby matches and has come to be adopted by teams in other sports that represent the entire island of Ireland. Do you see where you've gone wrong yet? – PeeJay 13:18, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Blocked
It is quite clear that your entire account's purpose is to remove mention of Northern Ireland and to promote the concept that all of Ireland is one country. All your edits have been around removing mention of Northern Ireland or representing the entire island as belonging to the Republic of Ireland which is purely vandalism. It is very clear you are most definitely not interested in building an actual encyclopaedia, and are instead just editing to promote your own agenda. As a result you have been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia. Canterbury Tail talk 23:22, 14 July 2020 (UTC) You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Am I wrong though? Michael Conlan is Irish, The Tricolour is the flag of Ireland and Derry GAA play in Derry (hence the name Derry). All of my edits were helpful to whoever is reading those pages. Wikipedia is a place where it is easy to find information. All of my edits help make it easier to understand. FootlongWiki (talk) 21:36, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The Tricolour is the flag of the (Republic of) Ireland, not the island. Northern Ireland isn't in the Republic of Ireland, it's part of the UK. Removal of Northern Ireland to just Ireland is as wrong as changing references to France to read Europe. As for Derry, the county is called County Londonderry, County Derry is purely colloquial (see WP:DERRY) but yet again, you were deleting references to Northern Ireland. Canterbury Tail talk 13:22, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Wrong as in not recognizing the existence of Northern Ireland (or vice versa) per WP:DERRY; by the way (as far as I'll tell you), Canterbury Tail lives there and knows the current political status of both Irelands (which won't change anytime soon). Just saying from experience. --2603:9000:A511:9E76:85F1:C7BA:A507:7733 (talk) 01:24, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
