Talk:Easter Rising

I am not aware that I reverted anything. I guess it was a mis-click. Sorry. The Banner talk 12:31, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

No problem. I posted at your talk page. You needn't respond. Scolaire (talk) 12:33, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

ANI thread about User:Jonathan f1

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Jonathan f1 should be prohibited from editing Ireland-related articles. Thank you. ComradeKublai (talk) 00:08, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

I have joined the discussion. Thanks. Scolaire (talk) 11:53, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for bungling that thread. I could see that the diffs you posted were the most important part of the discussion but for whatever reason when the user in question got way into the weeds of the Clontarf article I just couldn't help but respond in detail. I'll try to stay on topic in any future Wiki administrative matters. ComradeKublai (talk) 02:56, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

No problem. As I say, he does seem to have stopped posting his rants all over the place. If he starts again, he can always be reported again. Scolaire (talk) 10:58, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

ACAS

I would value it if you could add a ====Comment==== at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Requests for comment/Article creation at scale#Question 5: Minimum article quality when created at scale. I've been thinking about our conversation last month about whether stub creation should be banned wholesale (not just for mass creation, but for everyone). I think this question is close enough that I shouldn't propose another question directly about that, and I do still want to know why articles with <10 sentences are bad.

WhatamIdoing, I have done so now. Scolaire (talk) 15:08, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Question

Hi

If you don't mind, may I pick your brain regarding mark up language on a Wikipedia users page. What does a sole lower case 'r' indicate in relation to an edit detailed on a users contribution list refer to?

Thanks

Mogh Mogh Roith (talk) 20:14, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Mogh. I looked at your contributions. When I hovered over the "r" it said "This edit needs review". The edit was also highlighted in yellow. This is some algorithm that searches for I don't know what, and on the basis of that marks it as potentially problematic. Since you know it wasn't problematic, you can just ignore it. Scolaire (talk) 21:52, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Ah ok. Thanks Scolaire. Mogh Roith (talk) 21:56, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Martyr (politics)

The article Martyr (politics) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is fully covered by the main "martyr" article.

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. — Moriwen (talk) 14:18, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Black Irish

Hi @Scolaire.

I saw your comment on the redirect discussion for Black Irish.

As you have previously dealt with the old page for Black Irish (relating to white Irish with dark complexions), I though you might in interested in having a look at Black Irish (folklore). It's a new enough article and has already proven contentious.

Thanks for your time Boardwalk.Koi (talk) 17:53, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

I've edited to restore chronological order, but beyond that I don't care to contribute. I don't remember how I got involved back in 2013, but the topic actually doesn't interest me at all. I said at Talk:Black Irish back then that unless an encyclopaedia article can say unambiguously what it is about, it cannot serve a useful purpose. From the discussion, it seems that people still can't agree what it is about. Scolaire (talk) 19:21, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
