Clan Moutray

This article is not ready to be in article space. Would you move it back to your user space to work on until it's ready? Mostly it's just way too long, but some other issues are:

  • The references quote long passages from other works; in some cases it looks like entire works are quoted. That is not appropriate for a Wikipedia article; a reference entry in a Wikipedia article should direct the reader to material used as references, not quote the reference.
  • Much of the material doesn't seem directly related to Clan Moutray. An article about one clan should not recap general Scottish history.
  • Wikipedia articles (from any language Wikipedia) cannot be used as references. Links to Wikipedia articles can be included in "See also".
  • Noted members or relatives of the clan don't need their entire biographies in this article. Instead, include a list of them (maybe with brief descriptions), and create separate articles for them.

Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:43, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the article to userspace. Please follow the above tips from Auntof6 and try to improve the article. Welcome to Wikipedia! MoozerSkadoozer (talk) 05:53, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Clan moutray

A tag has been placed on Clan moutray requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Re: right direction

Hey..., please don't give up so soon! Consider to read this article >> Wikipedia:MMORPG and maybe you can find other meaning of Wikipedia.

Editing the Clan Moutray article

Hi, I got your message on my talk page. When you click on "talk" next to my user name, the message goes on my talk page. I'd rather communicate either here on your talk page, or on the talk page of the article (User talk:Moutray2010/Clan Moutray), whichever is easier for you. To do that, just edit the page and type your reply under the text you're replying to, leaving some space between the old text and your reply. I'm using the "watch" function on both pages, so I'll see it either way. How about if you pick one of those pages, then leave a message about what ideas you have for the article? --Auntof6 (talk) 12:17, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aunto ,

I'd rather reply under the article page , as its easier to keep track of the discussion in relation to that article . Thanks regards Paul

John Moultrie, Lieutenant Governor of East Florida under Governor Grant

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of John Moultrie, Lieutenant Governor of East Florida under Governor Grant, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.drbronsontours.com/bronsonjohnmoultrie.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:51, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of St.Andrews Society

The article St.Andrews Society has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unsourced and reads as WP:original research.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 13:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Use of {{hangon}} isn't correct when and article has been proposed for deletion. Instead you can just remove the {{PROD}} from the article. However to prevent the article being listed for deletion you should expand the article to show why, for example, the society is notable. Currently this isn't clear and doesn't explain anything about the society, what it does etc. NtheP (talk) 16:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Moutray of Seafield and Roscobie, now of Favour Royal, Co. Tyrone: an Historical and Genealogical memoir of the family in Scotland, England, Ireland and America

A tag has been placed on Moutray of Seafield and Roscobie, now of Favour Royal, Co. Tyrone: an Historical and Genealogical memoir of the family in Scotland, England, Ireland and America requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

==Speedy deletion

its not copyright infringement as its taken from Samuel Lewis topographical dictionary , which is out of copyright 200 years ago . just because some other website has also quoted from it , doesnt mean i am infringing the other website, as the other website, is referencing the same UNcopyrighted information that i am ..

remove this block now , and stop wasting my time .

you are incorrect .

nomination of Portclare==

A tag has been placed on Portclare requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

No context

Your new article has been tagged for deletion for providing "no context". What this means is that you have not given the rest of the Wikipedia community enough context to identify what it is you're trying to write about in this article. There's a lot of information in the article (probably too much to be useful in a single article), but it's not clear what the unifying concept behind all of that information is. Can you please seek help to identify what it is you're trying to write about so that the article can be properly written? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Moutray of Seafield and Roscobie, now of Favour Royal, Co. Tyrone: an Historical and Genealogical memoir of the family in Scotland, England, Ireland and America

I have nominated Moutray of Seafield and Roscobie, now of Favour Royal, Co. Tyrone: an Historical and Genealogical memoir of the family in Scotland, England, Ireland and America, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moutray of Seafield and Roscobie, now of Favour Royal, Co. Tyrone: an Historical and Genealogical memoir of the family in Scotland, England, Ireland and America. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

William Moutrie

The article on William Moutrie is for information about him, not relatives who may or may not merit their own article. Also articles should be written in an encylcopedic fashion not just a list of one or two line statements followed by a load of links that don't explain what they refer to or support. NtheP (talk) 15:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

email from Moutray 2010 posted
thank you for your comment .
however your opinon is no more valid than mine , so i believe we havea difference of opinion .
who makes you the final arbitrare of who / what is appropriate?
i think you are out of order, adn incorrect.
i stand by my submissions .
i will resubmit if you have altered it .
its about the person , which can include his background , to make it more comprehensive.
who are you to say otherwise ? ?
If you'd written about his background I wouldn't mind but you wrote about his brothers and what they did and are commemorated, that's not relevant to this article. I'm not the final arbiter of who or what is appropriate, wikipedia is a collective effort and has substantive policies to assist in the development of articles. All I beleive I did was to apply these policies correctly. You may believe differently and as you said my opinion is no more valid than yours, all I was doing was offering advice.

Not your personal genealogical website

Please note that Wikipedia is not your personal genealogical website. While you are clearly passionate about the history of your family, it is not the purpose of Wikipedia to serve as the repository of that history. Many of your family appear to be notable, and such articles are appropriate. However, this edit to Seafield Tower contained vast swaths of irrelevant and unreferenced material, including large sections of untranslated Latin text which does no one any good without a translation.

Conflict of interest

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.Template:Do not delete

You have been blocked from editing, for a period of 72 hours, for disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Former user 20140220 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Your reason here

Decline reason:

I am declining your request for unblock because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    • understand what you have been blocked for,
    • will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    • will make useful contributions instead.

Please read our guide to appealing blocks for more information. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:18, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Paul, please note that "Your reason here" will not get you unblocked. You actually have to give a reason. ToxicWasteGrounds 17:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Former user 20140220 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

yes , i want to appeal the block . 1. i am providing information , of historical record . 2. i am finding my informatino deleted , by speedy deletion , in less than 30 mins , adn sometimes 5 mins . 3. in frustratino i have addressed my discontent with the behavoiur , in particular , wikidan , radiofan , and tan , who have now , attempted to block me , which i believe is an abuse of their position . this woudl not be permitted in real life situation , where they are pushing users who are attempting to contribute , simply when i am on a learning curve . yes i know this is not a personal genealogical website, however, when there is information of historical fact, adn i am in a postion to know this , as it is something i have researched, then i am adding it , to find that it is blocked under miniscule frivolous reasons, without proper explanation . when i complain and object to it , then i am finding myself blocked , eg what is the reason that Tan has blocked me . i believe there should be a penalty on those who are using blocks inappropriately , all i can do is appeal to logic . if there is a historical fact, that is included in encyclopedias, in national archives, in scotland and washington , there are places , whos history corroborates the infomation , then i dont dont see why i am having my entries deleted , regardless of whether they are family members or not , if presidents and kings have honoured them as notable , and noteworthy , eg the peerage , debretts , then who are these petty 'editors' to say that i cant add these facts? even when i link to other books , eg raineval , other families have provided links to their family , but then when i do it , then its put up for speedy deletion , give me some explanation , otherwise i am going to collect all this information and complain directly to wikipedia . i think it is either , incompetence or negligence in the way i have been treated. i dont see why anyone woudl waste their time , to contrinute work , charitably, to be treated in this manner , i have recieved complaints from other people who have got frustrated at deletionists and pettiness , that they havent bothered to continue to contribute . time for some common sense . i look forward to recieving satisfactory response . this is harrassment , and im not happy to have information misrepresented , as i dont like the slant of the incorrect informaiotn you have redistributed . yours sincerely paul

Decline reason:

I am declining this because it does not seem to address the two main problems, as far as I can see. The number one problem from my perspective (which may be slightly different from the blocking administrator's perspective) is your cavalier attitude towards copyright. Wikipedia has a strict policy against copyright violations (please read WP:COPYVIO) and you have been repeatedly cutting and pasting text from other sources into Wikipedia. The other issue I see is that you are creating articles which do not fit the style or purpose of Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia has an expected standard for the subject matter, organization, and style of article, both in terms of what sorts of material is appropriate to build an article about, and how to write those articles. Please read WP:NOT for the sort of material that is generally inappropriate for Wikipedia. A lot of the information you are trying to add to Wikipedia may possibly be appropriate in some manner, but you seem to be going about things all wrong, to the point of disruption. Please take some time to learn how to add information to Wikipedia, what sorts of things make proper articles, and how to work within the long-established conventions here. Since this unblock request does not seem to indicate that a) you understand why you are currently blocked, and most importantly b) how you intend to change your behavior to avoid being blocked again, I am going to decline it for now. If you read Wikipedia's policies and guideline I have cited above, and can indicate that you understand and intend to abide by them, you will be much more likely to be unblocked. --Jayron32 19:01, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Wikipedia is not your personal blog; you haven't read any of the applicable policies and instead play the victim persistently. There's a reason all your contributions have been deleted. If you opt not to conform to our policies, you will be immediately re-blocked indefinitely. Tan | 39 17:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And if you continue to insult other editors, you will also be reblocked indefinitely. Please read WP:AGF. You don't seem interested in learning how to be a good editor, you are simply asserting that you are right and others are (and here you put various insults). 72 hours isn't long, why not calm down, read the various links you've been given, and ask what you should do to make better articles? You also need to stop plagiarising other articles and in particular avoid copyright violations, I've removed the ones I could find. Dougweller (talk) 18:12, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For when you return from your block:

Hello, Former user 20140220. You have new messages at WikiDan61's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Paul, while you are blocked, you really should read the links that WikiDan61 has provided, the conflict of interest guidelines, WP:NPA, etc. if you wish your articles and edits to survive and continue to edit. Dougweller (talk) 17:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would also strongly recommend that you learn about how to cite your sources, as that is how information is verified on Wikipedia. Click here for an introduction. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:21, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding your comments that I am abusing my position, I have no position. I'm an editor just like you. All I can do is bring issues to the attention of administrators. I, and a number of other editors as you noted above, have identified a number of editing issues to you and finally to administrators. When your block expires, you should consider taking a step back and review Wikipedia:Your first article for good information on what is expected of all editors, particularly in citing sources.--RadioFan (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Paul, this has nothing to do with ArbCom. I'm speaking from my experience but not in my role as an ArbCom clerk here. Please also note if you haven't seen it that I've deleted St.Andrews Society as a copyright violation. This is not personal and I presume that this is just ignorance on your part of not just our policy but copyright laws, but I hope you aren't doing this in other venues as well and will demonstrate here that you won't do this again.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated articles are Portclare, Moultrie Courthouse. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to the relevant discussion pages: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Portclare for Portclare, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moultrie Courthouse for Moultrie Courthouse. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:04, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

YOUR BEHAVIOR MUST STOP

In a recent email to me, you stated: 

you are ridiculous and pathetic .
 
i will just keep reposting , as your biased attitude is apparent .
 
your opinion means nothing to me .

I'm not sure where there is a "bias". You're not posting on some contentious issue, you're just posting nonsense about your family tree or something. I'm not sure if you have read other articles on Wikipedia, but none of them look like yours. There is a certain style in which the information is presented, and certain standards a followed to determine if an article is worthy of inclusion in the first place. By stating that you will "just keep reposting", you are obviously trying to ignore all the standards and do as you please, making WP your personal place for posting disorganized nonsense. This leads to nothing but disruption for other editors, who have the unenvious task of performing rollbacks of clearly non-encyclopedic edits.

People have tried to help you, but you don't want it, and you threaten to continue your disruptions. I hope you are banned permanently. — Timneu22 · talk 09:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent message was unnecessary and removed by another editor. There are several users watching your edits and behavior. We hope you will be able to create meaningful content to improve Wikipedia, but if you are unable to listen to helpful advice and/or you continue to resent other editors, your stay on Wikipedia will probably be very short. We hope you'll change your ways. Good luck. — Timneu22 · talk 10:44, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that your userpage seems also to be a copyright concern, as it looks as though you have copied wholesale from several sources. I have blanked it pending some verification that you have usable permission for this text or that it is public domain. Otherwise, it will need to be removed and replaced with original content. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:18, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Former user 20140220 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

1. the block is not valid . ( if so , please giev me a legitimate valid reason . ...otherwise the arbitrariness , creates injustice .. im having all teh reasons except the kitchen sink thrown at me , to justify the block ... the user who blocked me , tanthalas39 , is no longer even a member of wikipedia , which sort of suggests to me , he joins under differnt member names, creates chaos , then retires, to restart again under a different user name . ... he has already threatened to keep blocking me , and the comments made by his friends here , suggest that they are bias ... 2. the user who blocked me , is no longer a member of wikipedia , which may be a reflection of his culpability , and wishing to atone for this . 3. as there was , adn is no reason to block me , you are infringing my rights and discriminating against me , having given no valid reason , i'd like this reviewed, by someone impartial and not friends of other reviewers , who have repeated the error and compaunded teh injustice , .

remove the block please. thanks very much

Decline reason:

It's true that User:Tanthalas39 is not currently active, but that doesn't seem to have had anything to do with this block. I'm not sure what you mean by 'bias' in this situation; you appear to have misunderstood what Wikipedia is, and tried to use it as a place to publish more of your genealogical research than is useful or appropriate in an encyclopedia article. When people tried to help and correct you, you didn't seem willing to learn to use Wikipedia in a way that's appropriate, and so a block was necessary. The unblock request doesn't indicate that you understand why you were blocked, and indicates that, if unblocked, you'd continue to make edits which are disruptive to the encyclopedia, so an unblock isn't possible right now.

You might find it helpful to read some of the rules that other users have linked for you: the notability criteria, the guidelines to reliable sources, and what Wikipedia is not. If you have other misunderstandings, there are useful links in your welcome message which might also be wise to read.

If you decide to request unblock again, make sure you can clearly explain what you did wrong, and how you'll edit differently in the future. Also, avoid blaming others for your block- as far as I can see on your talk page, many people tried to help you avoid being blocked, and instead of thanking them and taking their advice, you were rude to them. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:29, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Please, only make one unblock request at a time, and put them at the bottom of your talk page. It took me extra time to find and remove the templates for the extra two. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:33, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

i need an explanation of what i have allegedly done wrong .

the alleged reason for this block is disruptive editing ... please explain this . please illustrate with the disrputive editing policy , adn how it applies to me . this is why i am appealing the block

thank you .

Decline reason:

You were blocked for tendentious editing, threatening to continue same, violating copyright, accusations of bias sans proof, etc., etc. Demanding that we furnish you with an itemized list is flat-out filibustering (which is disruptive, as is your accusation of harassment) and as such I am now revoking your talk page access. Further unblock appeals must be made to the en.wiki Arbitration Committee at arbcom-l@lists.wikimedia.org . Good day. —Jeremy (v^_^v Dittobori) 18:52, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have you already read the links I made? You're a very fast reader. You have the answers to your questions now- why don't you go ahead and explain why your edits were disruptive, and how you'd edit differently in the future? I can't help noticing that you're choosing to use very poor spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and no capitalization. Wikipedia is a real encyclopedia; in addition to the material that isn't appropriate for an encyclopedia, we really do also need reasonably correct English. Are you able to write correct English, or would it be easier for you to suggest changes on article talk pages, and let others add the information in an appropriate form to the articles themselves? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:40, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Might I further suggest you read this definition of disruptive editing. In your case, the disruptive behavior involved tendentious editing: "repetitive attempts to insert or delete content which is resisted by multiple other editors", specifically, your desire to add vast swaths of material regarding the genealogical record of the Moultray clan, and your repeated introduction of copyrighted material. Further, you behaved in a uncivil manner toward those who tried to help you. Also, please note that you do not have to continue to post unblock requests. This just clutters up your talk page, but is unlikely to actually achieve the desired unblocking action. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:47, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


- so your argument is Might is right . so your gang is bigger than my gang , so you win ? thats your argument its called a difference of ipinion , eg i think tis relevant , others remove , without explaination . ? this is harrassment . are there not any other people who need your assistance on wikipedia , except for you to be on my back . ?

Look, we've all given you blue links to several pages which describe the many policies and guidelines you are violating. Your material was not removed without explanation, you were given in-depth explanations which you refuse to acknowledge. If you insist on ignoring it when people DO tell you what you did wrong, and instead try to divert the conversation away from the honest attempts to help you do it correctly, what do you want us to do for you? Instead of playing the victim, why not learn what you did wrong the first time, so you can do it right next time! --Jayron32 18:54, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Augher

Regarding your recent additions to the Augher article, do you think its really useful to add information that was written almost 200 years ago? The information might have been useful then, but is certainly no longer current or germane. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 00:28, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These are Facts . They are Historical Facts,hence under the History section. They are not my opinions,but from Public Domain sources. That is your opinion,but articles should just present verifiable facts . You don't own these articles , so if you have any further facts to add ,feel free. I personally am interested in the History of Ireland and Scotland prior to 1970. The Irish and Scottish like History and have long memories,hence the many local Historical Societies. I'd rather that local people edited the article if they prefer ,but if you start removing every post I make ,then I'll have to make a complaint ,as there is a pattern of behaviour from you and one or two others,of interfering with my submissions. I'm pleased to see other decent editors have improved the articles on Seafield Tower,Moultrie Courthouse and Sir John Moutray. It's probably better if you find someone else to scrutinise as I feel you are looking for trouble and your behaviour could be deemed as harrassment . I have however had useful comments from other editors. My comments refer specifically to you.

Hi. I'm afraid a huge obsolete description of the town, copied from an 1837 source, is really not appropriate as the main current description of the town in a modern encyclopedia article. If there are significant historical facts in it, by all means extract them and write about them in, say, a "History" section. It's great that you are personally interested in the History of Ireland and Scotland (I am myself, having ancestry in both places), but that doesn't mean you can change Wikipedia articles to be repositories of old writings. Please do pay attention to the way Wikipedia articles are written, have a read of WP:MOS, and please don't just copy in large tracts from old sources verbatim and out of keeping with the established Wikipedia style. -- Boing! said Zebedee 09:59, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


of course , lets debate this , but lets do so in teh article discussion section . that is your opinion , and i am sure you believe what you say , but its your opinion nonetheless , and the purpose of this is to present facts . if you want to add facts , then add them . you dont own the article , and therefore its better that this is discussed , about what is not factual.

this provides further information about the town , any articles about the town , refers to Favor Royal , from King Charles II . it refers to Alatdawin , which is on the Favor Royal Estate. The Favor Royal Forest is a local attraction , now called the Millenium Forest. It has the largest Megalithic site in Ulster for these reasons i dont think its appropriate for you to simply remove my submission in its entirety. please refer to submission on Portclare. Inclusion in Lewis Topographical Dictionary is reason for Notability. if you want to dispute any facts , on a factual basis , then please do so , but dont disrupt editing in the manner you have done , but removing it . please feel free to edit any passages which are factually incorrect , please provide the basis for your assertions.

Favour Royal Millenium Forest http://www.millenniumforests.com/16forests/map.swf In that portion of the parish which is in the county of Tyrone is a remarkable place called Altadawin, where it is said that St. Patrick assembled the first of his followers : it is a valley, 150 feet deep, through the centre of which a tongue or land of considerable altitude extends, and on the summit stands a large rock in the form of an altar, adjoining which is another rock, in the form of a chair. The valley is covered with trees, and a beautiful stream runs nearly through its centre. A royal residence of an independent prince of the O'Nial family is reported to have stood here formerly. http://www.from-ireland.net/mon/lewis/errigaltrough.htm

Hi. The disagreement is not about whether the information is factually correct, it is on whether it is appropriate to be copied verbatim into a Wikipedia article. Old documents can certainly be used as sources for your own writing, and some quotes can be taken from them, but Wikipedia is not a repository of old documents and they should not simply be copied verbatim into articles. Doing that will produce a whole mish-mash of styles that will make the encyclopedia very hard to read. Please do as people have suggested and read a lot of Wikipedia articles to get a feel for the style of the encyclopedia, and have a read of the style manual at WP:MOS - you'll find lots of information on how to use sources for your own writing, how to quote from them, and how to reference them.
Seeing as you have added the content and had it removed, you now need to discuss it on the article's Talk page - repeatedly re-adding material that has been challenged is considered edit-warring, and can lead to an editor being blocked if they continue. I'll start a discussion on the Talk page - it will take me a few minutes, so please be patient
-- Boing! said Zebedee 10:39, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've started a discussion at the article's talk page, Talk:Augher, and have included a link showing the addition you made. Please discuss it there and hold off re-adding the disputed content until a consensus is reached. -- Boing! said Zebedee 10:50, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for adding copyrighted material to Wikipedia. Please stop. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires.

FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:05, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We've talked about copyright before, so when you created two articles adding copyrighted material to Wikipedia, you broke the rules. From your edits, it's hard for me to tell whether you are choosing to break the rules, or whether you don't understand them. Either way, your edits have caused disruption that others are having to clean up, so I'm giving the other editors a one-week break from cleaning up after you. In addition, I want to remind you that we have rules against speaking rudely to other editors. I understand that you are frustrated because you don't understand how to edit in an effective way, but it is not acceptable to take out your frustration on other users, and I am willing to block you from editing again if your edits, or your interactions with other editors, continue to cause disruption after your block expires. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:05, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
