unexplained revsion
You keep reverting my edits without explaining and you accuse me of vandalism? Explain yourself Apollo The Logician (talk) Apollo The Logician (talk) 17:19, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Read the original edit summary "unexplained removal of categories". Tim! (talk) 17:20, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

You read my edit summary "NPOV". There is clearly POV pushing. Apollo The Logician (talk) 17:22, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Line 1: "This article is about the 1882 murders". Tim! (talk) 17:23, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Actual line 1 "The Phoenix Park Killings[1][2] were the fatal stabbings on 6 May 1882 in the Phoenix Park in" Calling it murder is an ethical judgement, most would consider the act an act of rebellion against the British Empire.Apollo The Logician (talk) 17:26, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

There is a line before that. You can call it line 0 if you prefer. Tim! (talk) 17:27, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Now tell me why I should care what some random wiikipedia editor thinks? I notice you have ignored what I have said.Apollo The Logician (talk) 17:29, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Ireland by year
Hello. I'm a bit bemused by your edit to this category. Ireland is an island, not a country. We have separate categories for Category:Years in the Republic of Ireland (which is a country) and Category:Years in Northern Ireland. What consensus is needed to remove an incorrect category from the Ireland category? Number  5  7  03:12, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The problem with your edit is you removed Year in Ireland from Year by country which goes back as far as  and placed the category back into the main year category. Almost universally across Wikipedia Ireland categories are placed in by country categories; see for example  is a subcategory of . I understand the point you are making but it seems odd to not categorise the years under by country when the majority of Ireland categories are in the respective by country trees. Tim! (talk) 17:48, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I think this is more of a POV issue by some Irish nationalists refusing to accept the titles of the abovementioned articles regarding Ireland. How about I manually add the country categories to the Ireland years up to the point where the island was no longer also a country (i.e. the Acts of Union 1800), and then it can be be removed from the template? Cheers, Number   5  7  16:42, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That would certainly remove a large part of my objection, but I would prefer that the categories do not sit directly as a subcategory of the year. i.e. should not be in  but there are alternatives such as . Tim! (talk) 18:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
