Possible vandalism
Hi there. Please do not alter references to Northern Ireland to Ireland, this can be perceived as vandalism. It makes no sense to alter a reference to a country to point to an island, it's like altering England to read Europe. Also please stop altering references to County Londonderry to read County Derry or point to County Derry. There has never been a County Derry in the history of Ireland, only a County Londonderry. Some may call it County Derry but it still remains that there has only ever been an official name of County Londonderry and on Wikipedia we must remain neutral and not use non-offical naming with a political bias and promotion.

A welcome and a warning
Hi. Welcome to wikipedia. Just wanted to recomend something, that guy, Ben W Bell, on who's Talk page you left a message, is up to no good. Pretty much ALL of the time when an article he's editing is about, or is related to Nothern Ireland. And he can be particularly vicous when anything pro-british is altered in any significant way. So I just thought I'd tell you to watch out for him watch out for him (he's been after me for months now). User: Teknolyze —Preceding comment was added at 22:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment
Thanks for pointing it out, but I'd have noticed it anyway. He is a known vandal who has been warned by several users, not just myself with a history of vandalism and personal attacks.

By the way in case I didn't make it clear earlier, welcome to Wikipedia and I hope your stay is a long and productive one. If you have any queries or need help with anything just drop me a line and I'll do what I can to help. Don't worry about some editors, I'm called both a protestant unionist bigot and a republican Irish pig on pretty much an equal basis (and I assure you I am only the former) by various editors who don't like neutrality and officialdom.

Again thanks for the thought and happy editing. Ben W Bell  talk  00:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Response
Just to clarify, I am not a known vandal of any regard and the only other user who has warned me of anything was due to something my sister edited messing around with my profile. Look, I have no interest whatsoever in personaly attacking anyone and would much rather spend my time while on wikipedia adding contributions to things I actually care about, not waste my time with nonsense political battles with fellow editors. While I do have a political opinion, I have no interest in enforcing it on other people in any situation at any time, least of all here. Once again I am not a vandal of any description but have no desire garner a reputation as one, so for that reason I'm going to meet you half-way and stop editing articles relating to Nothern Ireland. I don't think any one needs the hassle that would ensue. but I stand by my thoughts that you and I have very different definitions of what constitutes neutrality.

and on the subject of the article you mentioned about Hiberno-english, the additional saying I added was not mess acting. It's a commonly used phrase in inner city Limerick which I thought deserved mention. Nothing more. user:Teknolyze
