WT:GAA
Thanks for expressing your preferences at the WT:GAA page - it's very helpful to have this calm and well-ordered discussion on what has previously been a very heated topic! There is a new proposal which has come in after your contribution, which you might also like to comment on. Many thanks! Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk)  08:06, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Blackwatertown
If you give me a day or two I'll add refs for the fact that the Irish-language placename is increasingly in vogue in English-language usage; I happen to know that as I don't live far away but I am sure that I will be able to add sources. "Blackwaterstown", on the other hand, is a form, that I have never heard used locally and have seen only in sources from elsewhere. Brocach (talk) 20:11, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, no probs. Look forward to seeing what you come up with up. (And that wasn't sarcastic – it's so hard to tell over the internet!) — Jon C.  ॐ  20:14, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually your last edit is the best way of putting it. Brocach (talk) 20:18, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

IMOS application
I thought that when NI is being discussed Republic of Ireland is used over Ireland to remove confusion. Are these edits correct..., , , , , , , .Factocop (talk) 17:01, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * You could've just asked at my page Facto... You're right in that when Northern Ireland (or even the island) is being discussed in conjunction with the state, it is best to qualify which is which. So for that reason, we'd say "Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland" or something similar - to make sure the text is as clear as can be.  But there's no need to use the descriptive form when using "UK" since this can't be confused with anything other than the name of the state.  Otherwise you'd have people arguing (as has happened previously) that *all* use of "Ireland" in reference to the state can be "confused" with the island.  We had to draw a line somewhere...  --HighKing (talk) 18:57, 15 February 2013 (UTC)


 * IMOS is pretty black and white and your edits go against this. But curiously Rashers has reverted all of these edits sparing you the 1RR case.Factocop (talk) 05:42, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Your statement at the IMOS talk page of For me personally common usage would be either to use Great Britain and Ireland or United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland is plain wrong. We'll continue the discussion over there rather than cluttering up JonC's talk page. --HighKing (talk) 16:09, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, gents. I'll chime in over there at some point. — Jon C.  ॐ  17:27, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Stop
You appear to be following my edits and to what appears to be wiki-hounding, everything I said is common knowledge so please cease and desist if you want to make claims that the Easter Lily is attributed to paramilitaries provide the sources.

As I said, please unwatch me and please stop following me around on Wikipedia and reverting what edits I make. Regards. Considering what your political views are if you have a problem with the Easter Lily (badge) and how the article has been cleaned up please raise it with a neutral party whose judgement we know would be impartial. If I did the exact same thing on the poppy page associating the poppy with loyalist paramilitaries there would be a massive outcry.ÓCorcráin (talk) 13:39, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The Easter Lily badge was the brainchild of Cumann na mBan, a republican paramilitary, and is generally only worn by republicans now. You have tried to paint it as a non-political Irish symbol, which it isn't, and you haven't provided any sources to say as such. In fact, you've deleted two and left one pointing to a miscellaneous issue of An Phoblacht. If you can provide some sources that say the Easter Lily is no longer considered to be associated solely with republicanism, be my guest – but until then, I reserve the right to reserve inaccurate and unsourced edits. — Jon C.  ॐ  13:56, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Especially this: Since the Good Friday Agreement, the wearing of the Easter Lily has gradually become more popular and acceptable again. It is seen as the Irish alternative to the predominantly British Remembrance poppy.
 * Says who? — Jon C.  ॐ  13:57, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * generally only worn by republicans now.
 * It generally is but not exclusively, I made that point already.


 * You have tried to paint it as a non-political Irish symbol, which it isn't, and you haven't provided any sources to say as such.
 * Completely untrue where did I say or imply that? I am not trying to paint it was a non-political Irish symbol but the myth that was on the article of insinuating it to be exclusive to paramilitaries and their 'volunteers' is dishonest.

 * I strongly suggest that you stop reverting, following my edits and engage in discussion first,you won't engage on the talk page, you have persisted in followed every single one of my edits on wikipedia, and that is wikistalking. Your history shows you have been blocked before for the very same behavior. I do not want to report you but if I must I will. ÓCorcráin (talk) 14:17, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Open a discussion and I'll see you there. You seem to be a little bit confused about things here, so I'll explain them to you: if you seek to change an article and your changes are reverted, you don't re-revert, you open a talk page discussion and attempt to gain WP:consensus for your changes. The onus is on you as you're the one trying to alter the article – I am merely reverting to how it stood before. WP:BRD is a good essay explaining the protocol around reverting.
 * I look forward to discussing your proposed changes with you. — Jon C.  ॐ  15:45, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Removal of sourced material
Jon,

You removed sourced material with this edit. Please revert yourself. Thank you.

Witb regard to you edit summary, did you have consensus to add a demonym with this edit? Have you considered restoring the version that existed before your bold insertion of a demonym (that was contrary to previous discussions)? That would allow a consensus to develop.

-- RA (talk) 13:59, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It's still under discussion, and the version with only "Northern Irish" is the way it's stood for a month-and-a-half. Is that not stable, in your book? I'll self rev if you think I'm not playing by the rules, but that's the stable version to me. — Jon C.  ॐ  14:06, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see, it now says "Ulsterman/woman", too. Fine, I'll self-revert. Why does everything around Northern Irish topics have to be so excruciatingly drawn out and mock-controversial? Gah. From following the inner workings of Wikipedia, you wouldn't think NI was a place that exists and actually functions fairly normally from day-to-day. — Jon C.  ॐ  14:10, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile in Northern Ireland ... -- RA (talk) 14:20, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

"Hispania" -> "HRT"
I know that the team was known as "Hispania" during the 2010 Season, But the Constructor name of the team was offically "HRT" And we allways use the constructor name to refrence them on drivers articles for example: "Renault" not "Renault F1" and "Red Bull" not "Red Bull Racing" also "Toro Rosso" not "STR" or "Scuderia Toro Rosso" It would be easier keeping all titles as "HRT". Well thats my opinion whats yours? Daniels Renault Sport (talk) 11:01, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
