Whipping boy

I just saw The Times Jan. 16, 2018 article about whipping boys. Another one of those ideas that is just too good to be true, I thought, Wikipedia needs to know about it. Then I saw your great work predating the Times. I suppose it would be no mystery of how you beat the Times if you told me the details - so please just let me keep my impression of you as a wonder worker. Good job.

The image you replaced it with needs to be moved from commons, shrunk to minimum quality, and given a fair use rationale. Also, there is room for both in the article. jnestorius^(talk) 05:47, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Refimprove template on 'Irish revolutionary period' article

Hiya. A silly question. Which you are entirely welcome to ignore. In short, do you have a strong opinion on what additional references might be required, before the hatnote you added here might be removed?

(I ask only as I'm on a bit of a 'refimprove' kick at the moment. Trying to address some of the refimprove/nofootnotes/norefs/morerefs style templates on some high-level Ireland-related articles. Many of which have been place for a decade or more. I came upon this template which you added in 2012. Given that you had created the article originally, I was wondering if you had a specific goal/expectation for what improvement might be required before it might be removed? There's been a small handful of refs added since. And I can likely bulk up with a few more. But wanted to check before I boldly pushed ahead....)

Cheers. Guliolopez (talk) 20:42, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have no strong opinion. One might be lazy and cavalier and simply add any general history of the period as a reference, but of course it would be better to include page references for each assertion, fact checking as you go. It is of course unusual to add a {{refimprove}} to an article for which one has oneself been the only editor. This case was a refactoring: I copy-pasted the text of the then version of History of Ireland#Home Rule, Easter Rising and War of Independence (1912–1922), and that source text was unreferenced. jnestorius^(talk) 13:57, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
