Discussion

You're not suppose to change things, without discussing it. As you're the one who wants change, it's you who must explain why. GoodDay (talk) 21:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh come on. You'd swear wikipedia was a democracy! All this formal mumbo jumbo. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia! Clearly you know nothing about Ireland and have nothing better to do than stop edits which are factually correct.78.16.122.227 (talk) 22:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Please reconsider. Discuss what you want changed first. GoodDay (talk) 22:11, 29

I engage in factually correct edits. Not bureaucracy. Cheers.78.16.122.227 (talk) 22:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually you've engaged in disruption (see below). GoodDay (talk) 22:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

No I haven't. I haven't broken any rules I think you'll find.78.16.122.227 (talk) 22:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I counted 4 reverts - but since you have stopped I am not going to enact a block. Please note that you don't get 3 reverts per 24 hours, it is an upper limit but you can be sanctioned for less. As I am not going to block you I am therefore free to comment; the country is the Republic of Ireland or Eire, but the land mass that includes Eire and the province of Northern Ireland is Ireland.

Whoops, too late, I shall have a word with the blocking admin. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:40, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Your comment just proves why wikipedia is a joke. All that you have said there is completely wrong!! The country is called Ireland. Check its constitution. Ireland is the official name of the country. Not Republic of Ireland which is a description used by FIFA. ÉIRE (at least spell it right) is the name of the country in Irish. We are talking English here. Your comments have just proven to me how clueless Brits are getting theit way over correct facts which they are just refusing to acknowledge.78.16.122.227 (talk) 23:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't edit the article - but then why should you have looked in the edit history, you can't even see the four reverts you did... I was the admin responding to a vandal report who decided that blocking you was inappropriate and when found you had been blocked anyway went an got the block lifted. Your appreciation and thanks overwhelm me. Happy editing. LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:28, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I did one edit and three reverts. And monkey who understood the wikipedia rules that are set out would have unblocked me.78.16.122.227 (talk) 23:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm begging you, don't do this. The Administrators are serious, you may get blocked. GoodDay (talk) 22:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

3rr warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Northern Ireland. 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. --John (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Block notice

You have been blocked for a period of 12 hours for edit warring and disruptive editing. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list.

{{unblock|I haven't broken 3RR so by Wikipedia rules there is no reason for banning me.}}

• I can give you the count at the template page - but it would be easier if you would simply accept the matter and go forward and contribute usefully. I would re-iterate that you do not have to make 4 or more edits to be considered edit warring; there is no maximum limit before you can be blocked. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Anon, I've put out a request to others, to revert your last edits at British Isles and Northern Ireland as you still didn't seek discussing it. Here's hoping in future, you'll bring your proposals to those articles' talk-pages. GoodDay (talk) 23:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

(to ip editor) Yes, please use the talkpages. Any more blind reverts will not be appreciated. Thanks. LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Say anon, meet me at Talk: British Isles & Talk: Northern Ireland, I've opened up discussions there. GoodDay (talk) 23:23, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
