You have a good start with your work on Larne. I have grammatically corrected your paragraph to make it more encyclopedic. Also instead of using 'home rule' a more educated word is devolution. If you wish to link another article from with in wikipedia, you do not need to link the entire address. Simply write the word and surround it with two square brackets on either side. Example: [[Larne]]. Langara College 20:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I NEVER READ SUCH ARROGANT NONSENSE IN MY LIFE.

I hold a PhD and am a professional Author. You are entirely wrong in supposing that "devolution" is the correct word. Read some Irish history.
You have also decided to entirely remove my addition about the Princess Victoria disaster.
I conclude: Wikipedia is not reiable. I shall never contribute to it again.
Goodbye.

[edit]Firstly, the standard usage of talk pages is that you post the most recent posts on the bottom. Also, grow up. You obviously do not have a PhD as your grammar is simple elementary and you immediately resorted to childish name calling. I also found your reaction, for lack of better word, immature as you said "I shall never contribute to it again" and then on January 10 you made edits to Larne. I have placed {{fact}} on the section you edited as it is a controversal statement with no referencing. You are welcome to remove the template tag once you reference your source. Original research is not applicable in Wikipedia.
In response to your comment about my removal of the Princess Victoria disaster, I have no idea what you're talking about. See: Edit Summary Jan 7. I looked in previous edits and Princess Victoria is not mentioned in the article anywhere. Also, if there was an article about the Princess Victoria disaster, then I could not have directly deleted it as I am not an admin. It most likely failed WP:SPEEDY and was deleted by an admin instantly. Langara College 22:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
P.S. You mispelled 'reliable'.
