Thanks for reverting that irritating vandal's work. I've reported the user, but as it's an AOL proxy server, it's hard for them to block it for very long.  J Rawle  (Talk) 19:35, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I've moved your signature to the end of your comment, which is the usual place. In my comment above yours, the user ID at the start of the comment is the name of the vandal I'm reporting! To sign a comment, enter four tildes at the end like this: ~


 * I used the "unsigned" template as I needed to look up who wrote the comment to leave you a message about the vandal – you didn't really need to change it to a standard signature, just remember to sign next time! The good news is that the page has now been protecrted so that unregistered users can't edit it. Hopefully that vandal will now give up on this page and go away!

The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as seal.

Former states
Hi Gerard. You're adding some of articles to the "Former State" category, some of which I believe to be in error. For example neither the Limerick Soviet nor the Muster Republic were states, even if their names suggest that they were. The Limerick Soviet was as a boycott and a strike. The Munster Republic was a extrajudicial area of the Free State during the Civil War, and thus if it were a former state, it would be the Irish Republic, not a state of its own. --sony-youth pléigh 09:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
