Ireland - British Isles

Rv edit. The dispute about the term 'British Isles' in relation to the Ireland article has been exhuasted. It was decided that 'British Isles' should not be used. Wiki01916 03:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Jooler. Leading on from our exchange on Talk:Ireland - a selection of references were collected a while back at Talk:British_Isles/References. This isn't just a Wikipedia thing, in fact it was an English Conservative MP that coined IONA to get around the issue over a quarter century years ago. The current set-up, I think, is quite livable: on Ireland-related articles, use one of the many alternatives, elsewhere, use British Isles as much as is liked. --sony-youth^pléigh 23:13, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"I've looked into this and it am unable to to find a reference to the original quote or context of this usage. A pro-Republican magazine without quote or context seems to be the original source used by claimants in Wikipedia."

A quick Google will throw up a blue-chip publisher. For example, see Arthur Aughey, 2005, The Politics of Northern Ireland: Beyond the Belfast Agreement, Routledge: London --sony-youth^pléigh 08:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just seen that this was cited already in the article. You must have missed it as well. --sony-youth^pléigh 08:35, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are also several references for IONA in the list I gave you last night: Talk:British_Isles/References#Islands_of_the_North_Atlantic. --sony-youth^pléigh 08:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. No, I've never seen the original quote or it's exact original context either, but that's not very surprisig - rarely do we see transcripts or minutes of the kind of meeting that I suspect it was suggest in. Plenty of secondary sources reporting it though, so not really an issue, is it? --sony-youth^pléigh 12:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Repeating a myth does not make it true." - Honestly, Jools, you are now scraping a barrel called denial. The citation above is from a blue-chipped published book by a Northern Ireland-based professor of political science. The source you described as a "Republican magazine" is in fact a highly-respected, international, peer-reviewed journal of economics - with anything but Republician links!! (Just browse its list of contributors and topics to see why that assertion was so ludicrous!) Really, if there's a chip on your sholder, dust it off and move on. --sony-youth^pléigh 13:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair enough - and admittedly (I think you know) I was winding you up more than making a case for the current situation. Looking at it coldly what the effect:

No mention that Ireland is the second-largest island in the British Isles on the Ireland article
Alternatives used in other articles e.g the Shannon is the a largest river in Britain and Ireland.
The info box and the template on the Ireland page use some other name/descriptor
The info box on the Republic of Ireland and British-Irish Council use alternative descriptors.

Numbers 2 and 4 are just fine. there is absolutely no need to use "British Isles" in the Shannon or other such article when other terms can be employed to just he same effect. Link these to the British Isles article - but to me they would seem more like common speech. (I've noticed that the Shannon article now says nothing off this, and maybe I just biased but I do blame the revering backwards and forth by those who really want to say "British Isles" for that.)

Number 1 - is it such a big loss? The article says that its the third largest island in Europe behind Great Britain and Iceland, and that it's right beside Great Britain. What more is there to say? (Honestly, I'd lump this with the really want to say "British Isles" lot.)

As for Number 3 ... well, this is a new thing. It appeared after the "peace" and admitedly its a though one to integrate with the current "deal". It's the only place where the absence of mention of the unmentionable is "obvious." That said, well, you may say that "Britain and Ireland" is inaccurate and misleading. I may say that "British Isles" is inaccurate and misleading. I'm realtively surprised that it lasteed at all. If you'd like, why not propose something like the following:

British Isles / Britain and Ireland (see naming dispute)

Or a note along the lines of the Northern Ireland flags note (but a whole lot shorter). I would support more information and allowing the reader to make their own minds up rather than falling on one side or another. --sony-youth^pléigh 08:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Praise for 36th Ulster Division

I know it was badly formatted and was about to do the quotes thing properly after i found out how to do it correctly when i noticed that you reverted the section off.

However i ask what is so POV in adding documented praise from non-Ulster people who eye-witness accounted the Ulster division's actions? Its not my personal POV. Mabuska 15:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the WP:PEACOCK article, i have to say i don't think it quite fits into peacockedness. I wasn't using my own personal POV to say they were gallant and brave, but rather an eye-witness account which is sourced. The "incorrect" examples in the peacock article are the editor's POV and unsourced. Mabuska 15:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If i formatted the quotations properly would it be okay to have back up? Mabuska 15:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh! You have the list of films by gory death scene userfied! I've missed that thing. Can I ask how you're planning to work on it? At the moment, there's a general air of antipathy against lists in general and pop-culture ones in particular. A single editor can rework and repost a deleted article, but not only is this one on the massive side, but a quick AfD and a pile-up vote are real possibilities. The last time was - well - there were calls for deletion because the article was useless, on the basis of WP:LIST, and when the other side (myself included) detailed how it was useful, calls to ignore those arguments completely, on the basis of WP:ITSUSEFUL. Egad. What I'm planning to do involves getting the film wikiproject and the new Article Rescue Squad, well, involved, for both the manpower and to build consensus on an acceptable form. The first step is a small but crucial renaming, but, er, this is more than enough for my visions in a question about yours. --Kizor 01:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be pretty embarrassed not to have heard of him. I read his Origins of the Second World War circa 1976.

Dear Jooler. Could you please explain me again: do you agree or not agree with my proposal. I ask you because I don't see any appreciable contradiction between you and me. I think (like you do) that neither invasion of USSR nor the attack on Pearl Harbour could be considered the separate start dates. I don't agree with the proposal to split the War onto European and Asia/Pacific parts.
I admit, it was not a good idea to summarise my first proposal :"A single date is not appropriate", but, I think, the Wikipedians don't limit themselves with reading headers only.
Therefore, if we come to agreement about other details we could help to resolve the Cabal dispute soon. Here I repeat and extend a little bit my proposals.
First. The start date (in the info fox) should be Sept 1, 1939. So the summary should be "The starting date of the war is generally held to be September 1939 with the German invasion of Poland and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by the United Kingdom, France and the British Dominions" with no mentioning of Marco Polo etc.
Second. The Chronology section should contain a start date of the second Sino-Japanese War, invasion of Poland, the end of Phony War, invasion of USSR and the attack on Pearl Harbour. The end date should be Sept 2, 1945. It makes sense to mention Tokyo and Missouri battleship explicitly.
Third. I don't think it makes sense to edit The War Breaks Out section heavily. I don't see any problem that the invasion of Poland is in the middle: this event has been already mentioned twice. We just need to rewrite that sentence to make it more clear. Best regards --Paul Siebert (talk) 22:00, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orange (colour)

Hello, Jooler! I'm here to request your opinion on a rather unorthodox idea. I'm asking you because I know that this is a subject on which you're passionate.
As you're well aware, there there have been many failed attempts to move this article back to Orange (color) (and to switch to American English) for consistency with our other color-related articles. Understandably, this is opposed by those for whom "colour" is the traditional spelling, as it could be interpreted as an attack on British culture.
But it would be nice to establish the aforementioned consistency, and I'm hoping that we can devise a method that would satisfy everyone. It occurs to me that there might be a comparable inconsistency in the other direction (an article or minority of articles on a neutral topic, written in American English while the rest are written in British English). If so, perhaps we could agree to a swap of sorts (to establish that no one's motive is to spread one English variety at the expense of another); we could change the Orange (colour) article to American English and change one (or even several) articles anomalously written in American English to British English.
Does this seem like a realistic possibility? —David Levy 04:28, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that people are interested in horse trading, swapping article spellings or whatever and I'm certainly not in any kind of a position to make any kind of deal. I don't have a problem with inconsistency on this level. I have to cope with American idioms and spellings every day. It's a pity that some people who can't live with cultural standards outside of their own experience demand homogeni[s/z]ation. You might perhaps see some hypocrisy there, I dunno. To be honest I've totally lost faith in this project to deliver a product of any credibility given the current state of WWII article. Jooler (talk) 09:03, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly don't expect you to broker a deal, and I don't really think of my proposal as such. I regard it as a plan to improve the encyclopedia (by resolving annoying inconsistencies) while ensuring that no one exploits these efforts as a means of assigning preference to his/her preferred English variety (or perceives that others seek to do so).

I have absolutely no problem with British English or any desire to see it replaced with American English. It just bugs me to see a series of articles on a particular topic, with all but one written in a particular English variety (and if that were British English, I would strongly support changing the anomalous article to match). The status quo simply seems slipshod and unprofessional, and I suspect that we might have one or more other cases in which the same issue exists in reverse. If so, why not resolve them? What harm would it do?

WP:ENGVAR usually is cited in these instances, but it doesn't say that an article's original English variety is set in stone; it advises us to stick with that unless there's a good reason for change. Some people believe that only a subject's strong ties to a particular English variety (such as an article about a person from the United Kingdom or a city in the United States) should be deemed a good reason, but there is precedent to the contrary. For example, I strongly supported an article's move from the American Check (finance) to the British Cheque, as this enabled us to eliminate the parenthetical disambiguation. There was nothing about the article's subject that warranted such a change, but it nonetheless improved the encyclopedia.

I feel that the Orange (colour) article is a similar case; its subject has no link to any particular nation, but the encyclopedia would be better off with consistent spelling across all of its color-related articles. I suggest the above plan as a means of demonstrating good faith on the part of those (irrespective of nationality) who wish to resolve such inconsistencies. If it were to turn out that more articles were switched to British English, that would be fine by me. The idea is not to require an exact 1:1 trade, but to establish consensus for articles to be changed for this reason (with the assurance that neither side seeks to do so at the other's expense). If we could just get past the bickering, I truly believe that everyone would be satisfied with the outcome. —David Levy 12:22, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Barnes F.C.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Barnes F.C., by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Barnes F.C. seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Barnes F.C., please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Channel 4 News (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Channel 4 News (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Proposed deletion of Lord Darcy

The article Lord Darcy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A page to disambiguate Wikipedia pages named "Lord Darcy" with only one page listed named "Lord Darcy."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:01, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
