89.210.192.0/20

Hey Banner, I've just blocked that range for six months. Let me know if they pop up on any other 89.210 IPs because I deliberately kept it narrow to avoid collateral damage. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:00, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

I will keep monitoring the airports, so I can see when the vandal switches to another range. But thanks for this intervention, much appreciated. The Banner talk 13:12, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Irish/Icelandic ethnicity

Would you care to explain your revert of my edit on Irish people? How is it my 'personal opinion' to remove an assertion of Icelandic-Irish ethnic relation? The JSTOR source is one source; i.e. one person, making a dubious assertion of DNA relations. Whether or not English and Ulster-Scots relation remain in the infobox is debatable, granted, but again, that it is neither an 'opinion' nor 'personal'. To be honest, I'm not sure what exactly the Related ethnic groups is referring to (i.e. actual Ethnic-relation, cultural, or geographic etc.), so if you could enlighten me, I would be grateful. Still, next time you disagree with my edit, why not take it to the talk page, or at least write something sensical/fair in your undo-explanation. Thanks. Gaelicbow (talk) 09:13, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

You give again a personal opinion. Nothing based on sources. I do not mind when you go to the talk page to complain about me reverting your personal opinions. Perhaps the discussion brings more sources in the picture. The Banner talk 09:24, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Surname transclusions

Canvassing you about WT:WPDIS#Surname transclusions, because I noticed it via a Templates with disambiguation links entry for {{Peter-surname}} and you're usually the first to fix such things. Certes (talk) 10:35, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Noticed your edit already. I did not understand where the link was coming from when looking at it yesterday. :-) I hope your trick will solve the problem and that I have another tool to fix this type of issues. The Banner talk 10:44, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Revert

Please explain why this revert is in the "best interest of the article". Why is a single refimprove banner at the top of the article inferior to plastering the article with 4 section banners. Also, why do you think the article should ignore the MOS? Kindly revert your edit. Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 15:59, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
