I have taken the 173.174.159.84 Flag icon issue to AN/I and mentioned your attempts to advise/warn the user. He/she doesn't seem to have learned anything from the previous block.  Tigerboy1966  22:22, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bhotha Mhuintir Uí Fhialáin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Irish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Made a list...
... of every article I can remember adding an Ulster-Scots name to. I never would have got this nerdily far if it wasn't for your barnstar! — Jon C. ॐ 21:35, 21 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Glad to know I inspired someone lol :-) It's great to see a parity of esteem where possible in having translations in Ireland's three languages where applicable. Obviously there will always be detractors from some in the pro-Gaelic camp, yet Ireland is not a mono-cultural entity - never has and never will be. Those that seek recognition and parity of esteem for their culture should act likewise for other cultures. Mabuska (talk) 21:26, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Couldn't have said it better myself :) — Jon C. ॐ 08:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If you ever get the time, you should do the same for places in Scotland. I added lots of Scots and Gaelic names a while ago, from a couple of sources I found, but I havn't kept at it. A lot of articles do hav' the Scots names but no sources for them. ~Asarlaí 02:12, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Would seem like a good job for Jon, maybe get an extra star for it :-) Mabuska (talk) 20:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Asarlaí, thanks for the tip – I very rarely edit any Scottish articles but if I'm stuck for something to do on here it could be a nice little project. :) And Mabuska, by the by, could you perhaps cool it on all this edit-warring/topic-ban talk? I reverted twice on that article, and not at all since the current discussion started, so I'm not quite sure what I've done to piss you off. — Jon C. ॐ 18:11, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You've done nothing to piss me off lol, just Scolaire didn't make it exactly clear who he was referring to and i thought he was insinuating me and you over your proposal to which i queried and made a point over the edits. Mabuska (talk) 12:57, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
