Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or  located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:23, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Gravyring, I received your message about re-opening the DR on this article. I looked back at the DRN and the article talk page. Rather than have me try to guess, could you tell me exactly what your concerns are right now? What changes do you want to make or not have made? If I can help, I will. I do not think re-opening the DRN is a worthwhile option right now. The DRN did mention the possibility of an RfC but that might not bring any better results. If I can, I am happy to help with the article.Coaster92 (talk) 22:19, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi again. Based on your last message on my talk page, I will have a look at the article as a whole then. I will see if I have any suggestions and let you know.Coaster92 (talk) 04:10, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Gravyring. I found some policies that seem to apply in this case. I left a comment on the article talk page along with the policies. Let's see if there is a response.Coaster92 (talk) 05:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Gravyring. Got your message. I am not an expert on dispute resolution but suggest you review WP:Dispute resolution, WP:Mediation Cabal, and WP:Consensus. It is tricky because these issues generally needed to be resolved by consensus, which is discussed in WP:Consensus (and can take time). Anyhow, let me know your thoughts after you have a chance to review the policies I mentioned. Good luck.Coaster92 (talk) 04:51, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Blocked
I've blocked this account indefinitely, because you are acting like a POV-pushing single purpose account in a Troubles-related dispute. I note in particular the two wormy ANI reports you've made in the last two days; throwing things against the wall just in hope that something sticks. This subject area is contentious enough when good faith editors have such strong feelings; there's no sense allowing bad faith editors to stir things up even more. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:56, 27 March 2012 (UTC)


 * This block is bogus. Using talkpages is hardly gaming the system. I will appeal as a block of this nature does not warrant the crime.Gravyring (talk) 23:23, 27 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I've fixed the unblock template for you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:32, 28 March 2012 (UTC)


 * ah but edit warring is not the reason for your block per se, as is noted both in the block log and in the block notice still visible on this page: "POV-pushing single purpose account, only here to stir up trouble" Also, the link you provide shows the blocking admin refusing to become the "beat cop" for Troubles-related-articles, which you can hardly blame him for considering it is an area subject to constant POV pushing by single-purpose accounts and sockpuppets. Perhaps if you indicated some other subject area where you might like to work, where your personal POV wouldn't cause you to act in a disruptive manner, an admin would feel more inclined to grant your request. If you wouldn't mind, could you restore the comments that were below the unblock request I declined? Since I cited them in my decline it could be useful to admins reviewing this request.

 * Hi Beeblebrox, I had no intention of setting up an account but got sucked in and responded to requests for me to set up an account here . I had no intention of focusing solely on The Troubles, but as I am from Northern Ireland, it is a topic that I am familiar with more than most. But other topics I would like to focus on would come under banking(Credit Risk) and Football(Soccer) but in the short time I've been on wiki I've not had a chance to spread my wings. I had removed the comments because I am just fed up with that particular user hounding me. Didnt mean to remove any of your reference.Gravyring (talk) 23:44, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
