Great Irish Famine
I'm working on an Article at the moment, and will turn to the Great Irish Famine at a later stage. Cecil Woodham-Smith's The Great Hungeris the source I was referencing. Regards --Domer48 19:10, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

The one published in 1963? I think there's been a lot of revision and change in academic views since then. I don't have a copy to hand although I read it a long time ago, but I don't recall it referring to pre-famine investigations other than those into the condition of Labourers as part of the Poor Law and Corn Law reforms, is that what you are referring to? Eg, the ones that were Britain-wide? MarkThomas 19:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Alice Roberts image
Just wondering if you made the page for Alice why not get a photo off her and put it in the page?

 * Hi Jules, I did, and the powers that be removed it! To be honest, it's so flippin complicated filing an image at Wikimedia now that I can't be bothered. MarkThomas 08:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yet again, please stop
Mark, I notice that despite repeated requests, you continue to breach WP:NPA. You have now accused me of "blatant Anglophobia and hostility bordering on racism" on another editors talkpage User talk:Gold heart. This is clearly an abusive attack and is completely untrue. The irony - that all this abuse is coming while I'm defending allegations of incivility (which you support) - is amazing. Please stop it now. Right now. (Sarah777 15:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC))


 * Nope, the statements you made are listed on the RfC page and they are very characteristic of the comments I made, which I fully stand by. The question is - will you withdraw them? MarkThomas 18:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Mark do not revert Sarah777's copying of sections of your user talk page. Under the GFDL you have released the rights for her to reproduce that material freely, and policy does not support you here. You are being extremely disruptive. Given your incivil baiting on User talk:Gold heart and the RFC talk page where I had warned you previously, I'm blocking you for 24 hours. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Denny Crane.  21:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Kurykh, his block has expired but he still can't get back on. I've lifted the autoblock and the regular block both just to make sure. I haven't spoken to him since then but yeah the last email I got from him he could not get back on. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Denny Crane.  00:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That's weird. Aren't autoblocks supposed to last for only 24 hours? And I apologize to MarkThomas for my mistake. — Kurykh  03:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem, it seems to work now - no idea what was causing it. Thanks both of you for your help. MarkThomas 07:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
