User:Bigpad

Hi,

I was born in Belfast in Northern Ireland/Ireland.

My interests are cue sports and WWII, especially naval warfare.

I speak English and Irish, and French pretty well.

Notice board

Hi, just letting you know about the Northern Irish Wikipedians' notice board. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 09:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, that's fair enough. Derry Boi 11:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Alexander McDonnell edit

McDonnell played for effectively what was regarded as the unofficial championship of the chess world. There are not too many people from Northern Ireland who are regarded as being one of the top two players in the world. Furthermore, former world chess champion Gary Kasparov's book My great Predecessors includes a McDonnell game as the first important game in chess.

Secondly, you said it was a revert, which was not strictly true as I only replaced part of what you had removed. I normally edit anonymously. Incidentally, it was me that created the very page that you moaned about me editing anonymously :). (unsigned comment)

Err, excuse me? You restored an error; you got reverted (by a longer-time user). If your explanation had said you were aiming to remove a spurious link then I would have recognised that you had made a mistake and only corrected what you missed. Wiki-Ed (talk) 15:46, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Cuchullain

I did and I left my reasons on the talk page - it isn't a historical description. Cú Uladh is used as a personal name in Irish (or rather it was) BUT not for Cú Chulain. I think that this description should be included somewhere else not in the introduction which is talking about the Táin etc.

Half Bap

I'm mighty impressed by anyone who still knows what the Half Bap was! Gerry Lynch (talk) 02:15, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
