I'm curious as to why you would remove the source kindly provided by O Fenian on the talk page with the edit summary "per source provided on Talk page"? Ivor Stoughton (talk) 19:04, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Why is it important to note that, like all MPs, he's entitled to expenses and that his expenses are in order?" Will we add that he wears nice suits and turns up to work on time also? Mo ainm  ~Talk  19:08, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The fact that he claims expenses to rent a house in London is worth noting, as the article mentions that he does not take his seat in Westminster. Gives a more complete picture of his actvities as an MP. Ivor Stoughton (talk) 19:12, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Take it to the talk no sense having discussion in 2 places. Mo ainm  ~Talk  19:18, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Belfast West by-election
Hello

Thanks for the notice.

I think you are mistaken with my intentions. All my paragraph wishes to provide is a link to show that the Parliament website (and therefore House of Commons authorities) regard Belfast West as a vacant seat. It is not meant to be a controversial paragraph. It merely provides an extra bit of evidence and context. The article is not, by and of itself, part of "The Troubles", as this would have been put in the Talk page at creation. doktorb wordsdeeds 15:59, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Better to use caution in articles as the notice and the content is concerning Gerry Adams. Mo ainm  ~Talk  16:06, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand there has to be caution, but the article itself is not directly related to the content of the notice. Belfast is, Gerry Adams certainly is, but a parliamentary by-election to Belfast West is tenuous (at best). My paragraph simply shows that the authorities have taken him off the list of Members and regard Belfast West as vacant. No known Wiki rules have been broken, as far as I can see... doktorb wordsdeeds 18:09, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Not saying there was but just letting you know about 1RR as it has a habit of catching editors out. Mo ainm  ~Talk  18:21, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Aye, I understand that (though I have been here for many, many years and have never, not once, been made aware of these rules). I'll try to keep it in mind though. All this has gone on and we've not even got any candidates selected yet, it's going to be fun this article, I can tell.....doktorb wordsdeeds 18:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Possible copyvio
Thanks for elaborating on several issues for the benefit of the new user at their TP. I may have appeared a bit terse. RashersTierney (talk) 23:06, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Not at all I should have done it after I reverted. Mo ainm  ~Talk  23:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

The Grey Organisation
Hi,

I'm researching a project and as part of it I have just created a page on The Grey Organisation. It has received a banner saying "This article may be written from a fan's point of view, rather than a neutral point of view. Please clean it up to conform to a higher standard of quality, and to make it neutral in tone."

I was hoping you could give me an example of this as I feel I have tried to use an academic stand point. I appreciate you feedback

If I can't comment on the talk page, then where should my comment go? Thanks, Nirmos (talk) 15:21, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Try and create an article on the subject as you are now placing a comment onto an article talk page that doesn't have an associated article. Mo ainm  ~Talk  15:31, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

James Connolly
I'm curious about your rationale for removing references to Connolly's Scottishness - "he was an Irish leader". Do you dispute that he was also a leader in the Scottish socialist/trade union movement? Ivor Stoughton (talk) 18:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It is covered in the lede were he was born. Mo ainm  ~Talk  18:44, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Where he was born, and where he had a lengthy career as a leader in the Scottish socialist/trade union movement. Do I take it you now accept that he was more than simply "an Irish leader"?Ivor Stoughton (talk) 18:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No. Mo ainm  ~Talk  18:55, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * So you dispute that he was a leader in the Scottish socialist/trade union movement? Ivor Stoughton (talk) 18:58, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, but is not notable for his couple of years working with them. Mo ainm  ~Talk  19:04, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * So do you favour removing all of the references to his work with them from the article? Ivor Stoughton (talk) 19:18, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No why would I? Covered in a section and no need for it in the lede. Mo ainm  ~Talk  19:22, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Because you claimed that Connolly's activism in Scotland was not notable. You also claimed (wrongly) that it lasted only a couple of years. If you really think it's not notable, it shouldn't it be in the article. The fact that you can't make that leap suggests that his Scottish connection is more notable than you allow. My own view is that his career in Scotland is highly significant. Ivor Stoughton (talk) 19:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * So will we call him an American socialist also he was involved with them. Mo ainm  ~Talk  20:06, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If he had been born in the U.S. and lived 25-plus years of his life there, absolutely - he would then be Irish-American rather than Irish-Scots. Ivor Stoughton (talk) 20:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
