There are a couple of reasons not to include him. One he is nowhere cited as Druze (should be eas enough), and the big number two he is not notable to have an article. Wikipedia is not a collection of random lists and facts. Its an encyclopedia, and these lists have a form. Maybe in a few years time he will have an article but not now and unfortunately we dont guess at these things. Murry1975 (talk) 19:04, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

How many Lebanese, Druze, doctor and Lt colonels in USAF do you know? If Samir Kuntar the infamous is notable! You should keep this list for people like him. Thank You.

Thanks for removing Samir Kuntar.

Gaelic football

Hello Murry1975,

I see you have removed my insert on the Gaelic football wiki to the Gaelic football rankings on the grounds that they are unofficial with no source. Nevertheless, I clearly stated that the rankings were unofficial and in the Gaelic football rankings page, the method used to calculate the rankings, in addition to the source of all information, are clearly described.

If you have any other concerns about linking a Gaelic football page to a unofficial Gaelic football ranking page, please let me know so that I can address them. In the meantime, if you can undo your delete, it would be appreciated.

(Mistakenly posted this in your archives last week - first time using the talk function!)

Cheers. Tinahinse 11:46, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

OVERLINK

Hi there MURRY, AL from Portugal "here",

i'll never understand that approach by WP (to me the only thing that should not be linked even once would be "England", and common words as "hand", "nose" or "eating", etc), but i have to respect it.

Happy week, cheers --AL (talk) 19:01, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Removing my links

Hello You removed my links the other day. I am sorry if you thought I was spamming. I was just inserting an external link to the page to a website that I thought was very relevant to the subject matter of page - ie: the page is about rivers and the website is also pertaining to rivers and seems to be earnestly researched and hardly inappropriate. I'm sorry that I put this information out in quick succession on a few pages and it obviously appeared to be spam to you! All I can say to you is that I acted in good faith and had no malicious or devious intention. I hope you could reverse the removals. Birdhillbilly (talk) 20:13, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Birdhillbilly, first of all welcome to wikipedia. I understand you acted in good faith but I am not going to reverse my removals on the basis that the generic site you listed adds nothing that isnt contained in the articles themselves. Sorry about that, but if you have a more specific site you know that could be added in my opinion. I see I wasnt the only one who removed your links, thats usually an indicator that links are not meant to be added by some guideline on here. Murry1975 (talk) 12:40, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Murry, while the link to http://www.dicklerfitz.com/ probably shouldn't be added to all of the individual river pages, I still think it would be a benefit if it were added to the Rivers of Ireland page. Within that page there are rivers listed that have no length details (let alone flow rate details!). Important rivers like the Inny, Boyle, Laune, Kings, Brosna have no lengths given! Some rivers have lengths given but with no references or sources - Moy, Liffey, Slaney. The river Suck has a wrong length given with no reference and an external link to data from an 1846 source. Other pages like the river Lee has a reference that leads nowhere. Also I think a link http://www.dicklerfitz.com/lakes/ would be of benefit to the List of loughs of Ireland as it supplies extra info: perimeter lengths, lake volumes etc. Birdhillbilly (talk) 20:21, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Murry. OK I give up - House Robots rule!Birdhillbilly (talk) 22:47, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Nothing has changed since you last added them, why did you re-add them? Murry1975 (talk) 22:51, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Murry. I left a talk message above (20:21, 20 May 2014 (UTC)) stating why I might insert links to those pages. I was hoping you would set me straight on the matter. - as you can see I am no wizard at this! - However, since I got no reply in over a week, I decided to insert the links as mentioned in the above message. Why did you not reply to the above talk message? Now all I have for my troubles are warnings about being blocked and websites being blacklisted! You do understand that the only agenda I have is the furthering of knowledge regarding our waterways, which I am passionate about! Birdhillbilly (talk) 08:26, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Sorry to disappoint you about me not getting back, I pop on and off this some days alot some days very little (or even lately not at all). The point of the matter is that the link is to a site that doesnt under scrutiny pass WP:RS or fails WP:ELNO. Also as far as I can make out you might be adding it for its own benefit. Murry1975 (talk) 09:02, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Murry. Ok - we'll agree to differ! Anyway, I won't post links to the offending site again!79.97.237.150 (talk) 09:04, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Couple of edits regarding Ireland and its territories

Demographics of atheism. I've been 'bold' and reverted your edit. I gave a reason why in the edit comment thing: we need to ensure the readers aren't confused, as the statistics specifically concern the Republic of Ireland alone, and not the whole of the island, which is also called Ireland. Also, the link pointed to a disambiguation page, rather than the page on Religion in the Republic of Ireland.

As for the Counties of Ireland, as six counties are a part of the United Kingdom, this article must also belong as part of that category. That the other counties are there too, the reverse argument could be made regarding the Republic of Ireland versus Ireland (the island): 26 of the counties don't belong to Ireland (the Republic). I'd be interested to hear if you have any suggestions, if you still protest at the idea of including the article in both the Republic and UK categories. One possible compromise might be to exclude Northern Ireland from the article all together. There is an article already dedicated to Counties of Northern Ireland anyway, I believe. We could then rename the article Counties of the Republic of Ireland.

I apologise, as I'm not aware of the previous conversation you've suggested. That's not to say it didn't happen - I'm just not aware of it!

I've enrolled here recently, so I'm not sure this will show up. I've not logged in. --75.176.181.60 (talk) 03:30, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. You've undone my edits now three times. The first time, you offered rationale in your edit comment. I answered that by explaining here (and in my edit comment when I undid your edit) that there is clear ambiguity in this table: the territory which uses the name of the island (Republic of Ireland) is not the same as the territory which is the whole island. The table strongly suggested (before my edit) that the whole island follows the statistics listed. That is not the case. The statistics very definitely apply solely to the territory of the Republic of Ireland alone.

The wikilink also directed to a disambiguation page, rather than to the page relating to Religion in the Republic of Ireland.

The Manual of Style/Ireland-related articles page is, apparently, a set of guidelines. Here is what Wikipedia says about guidelines:

Guidelines are sets of best practices that are supported by consensus. Editors should attempt to follow guidelines, though they are best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.

So these guidelines suggest:

Use "Ireland" for the state except where the island of Ireland or Northern Ireland is being discussed in the same context. In such circumstances use "Republic of Ireland"

So I've inadvertently followed the guidelines anyway: Northern Ireland is being discussed in the same context (as a part of the United Kingdom in this case).

I've also attempted to follow the Wikipedia guidelines for editing - a "bold --> discuss --> edit -->" cycle. However, so far, you've not followed that process yourself.

This will be my last edit to the article for a while. Of course, you will probably undo my edit again, but I have more important things to waste my time on! Following guidelines here on dispute resolution, I am taking a break from this specific article. Perhaps this will give you time to reflect and perhaps help me come to some kind of solution which we both feel will aid the Wikipedia site, and which we will both agree to.

I feel the article was misleading to readers, which is why I made the edit to begin with. Hopefully you can see your way to replying here in the next day or two? I will come back to the article at some point in the next few days probably. If my edits have been undone again, I will follow the guidelines and request an administrator to help out. Thanks.

The ONLY mention of Ireland on that page is the state, so NI isnt being mentioned at all, yet alone in the same context, its a table of states so NI wouldnt be on it anyhow. Also sign in while editing.

I also notice you seem to edit UK instead of Britain/Great Britain in articles, because its the states name, dito for Ireland so we use that. If you cant see the double standard of your edits. Now if you wish we could bring this up at IMOS. Murry1975 (talk) 06:06, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

Dear Murry1975 as you will discover I will not be found guilty of sock puppetry .......As you are well aware DDI are not a right wing organisation, and you know we have majority of left wing people in the party. I myself done quite a bit of free work for Sinn Fein in the past and SF have a lot of supporters in DDI and we transferred a lot of votes to you in the local elections. So please drop this attack on us as we agree on a huge amount of issues. We have a common enemies...namely the government and the banks...lets beat them and then sort out our differences if we even have any, Martin Byrne Martinbyrne6 (talk) 13:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
