Hello. And welcome to Wikipedia. Please consider reading the project's main policies. Including those which expects edits to be explained in an edit summary and supported by references. Otherwise, for your information, the: In short: Please stop making changes "for the sake of it". And certainly not without reading the references. And ideally not without providing an explanation. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 15:40, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * President of Ireland is not the Taoiseach (as this unexplained and uncited change asserted)
 * word Corcaigh is not pronounced "Kawkah" (as this unexplained and inexplicable change proposed)
 * European Capital of Culture is determined by a selection panel, not on the basis of a "vote" (as this misleading change implied)
 * term "almost half the population died" and "almost all the population died" are not the same thing. At all. A half and a whole are (quite clearly) not equivalent (as this change erroneously declared in a way which conflicted with the original text, basic math and available sources)

Well I I initially thought the president of Ireland always was the Taoiseach and ‘Corcaigh’ phonetically sounds like kawkah, while if the selection panel are choosing the European City of Culture, they are technically are voting themselves as well. Swanbeach241 (talk) 08:44, 10 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello.
 * Please do not base important changes on "what you thought" or "what I think something sounds like". Changes should be based on verifiable and external references. Not individual editors' personal opinions or thoughts.
 * Please also stop making changes "just for the sake of it" or purely to "make sentences longer". It is a tautology (and does not add anything) to add the word "Irish" in front of "musician" or "band" when talking about subjects from Cork. (Or sticking the word "human" on front of a venue's seating capacity, when it is unlikely that dogs or monkeys are in question. Or adding "native" into a sentence to change its meaning such that only "native" inhabitants could somehow influence the use/popularity of loan-words.)
 * Please also don't invent your own words. "Tone" is a perfectly valid English word. And was/is fine as it is. "Tonage" is not an English word.
 * Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 09:30, 10 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello. This is the last such advisory from me (as escalation will follow), but:
 * please stop adding unnecessary and unsupported editorial to articles. Your editorial flourishes (like "[sadly] attributed" or "[significant] revenue" or "[extensive] settlements" or "[only] X people" or "[very] heart of the area") are not supported by the refs and not in keeping with policy.
 * please do not change quoted text/sources in articles. Your change to the quoted text (in Paul Holm's The Slave Trade of Dublin, Ninth to Twelfth Centuries; 1986) did not reflect the original source. Don't reword quoted works to suit your own preference/ear.
 * please do not add (or change) words which affect meaning but provide no other value. Your addition of the word "local" to the phrase "where [local] ships used to moor" added nothing at all. And only served to give the (erroneous) impression that no ships/trade came from elsewhere. (Ports are, by definition, places that non-local boats also visit.) Same goes for suggesting that only the English called the area the Pale (when the Irish also did).
 * Randomly changing text (to include superfluous, misleading, unsupported and editorial words) is not improving articles or the project as a whole. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 11:24, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
