Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've probably been on wiki as long as you.

geordies

I have posted references to these people "who you think are geordies" about them being mackems. 86.153.34.190 (talk) 20:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gregs, this would appear to be a fair point here. The IP editor appears to be making good faith attempts to change this, yet you're providing little rationale for reverting and your edit summaries are a little sparse. Thoughts? - Alison ^❤ 00:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please meet WP:V which your references do not meet. 86.150.252.106 (talk) 16:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Every provided reference is verifiable as far as I can see. There is no official definition of a geordie, this IP's POV or Greggs POV of what is or isn't one is neither here nor there, the sources stand as per policy until refuted. If you can find sources that refute these, please add it to the talk page person by person so a controlled and traceable removal can occur if required.

MickmacNee he doesn't seem to understand that the premises that references bring are valid thus they are valid and they add to the article. He also doesn't seem to understand that these citations fit in with other citations on the article...

Explaination of my revert

Excuse me but you don't seem to understand, the article geordie has a number of people in it which are claimed to be "geordies", and these may be backed up by citations, but since geordie is a dialect and a local nickname for the people Newcastle Upon tyne (not county durham or washington), no source for this kind of subject can ever be accurate. As many people from the region of North East England are mistaken for geordies by outer sources who do not understand the regional nicknames when the people who are claimed as geordies clearly aren't, hence why situations like this occur, and many of these people who are in the article geordie, come from the Wearside area, which has its own dialect and nickname called Mackem (which is a completely different thing) and many people who are on the list of notable geordies at the same time are on the list of notable mackems, this makes things difficult and confusing on wikipedia and hence no sources for this subject are reliable, I am offended by the content of the article, I personally think wikipedia would be better off without these "notable geordies" and "notable mackems" sections due to the lack of WP:V. 86.150.252.106 (talk) 18:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the references are not valid because the topic itself cannot be covered by such sources that do not understand what a geordie is, you are ignorant by not understanding the post I have just posted above

Seriously you do not seem to understand what this Ip is trying to tell you. You are being a WP:DICK about things. Zogonthetyne (talk) 18:44, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Geordie. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Even explaining why you are making your edit does NOT give you the right to violate the three revert rule. If you add the edits to the article one more time, you will be blocked. Use the article talk page instead to get others to agree with you BEFORE making the edit again. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are not valid, will you take that in. 86.150.252.106 (talk) 18:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

I have posted the Ip's and your rationale on Talk:Geordie please take a look and read it properly, what you fail to see is a mis-understanding by the people who wrote the references. You need to find out what a Mackem or a "wearsider" is, and hence that they are sometimes mistook for geordies by news sources even though they speak an entirely different accent and dialect. This is why the Ip wants these people removed, please read the talk page carefully. Zogonthetyne (talk) 18:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
