== River Shannon ==

Hi John, You recently protected [[River Shannon]]. There's some editing I would like to do on this article. Could you please add the following text by replacing the entire [[River Shannon#Geography]] section text with ''By tradition the Shannon is said to rise in the [[Shannon Pot]], a small pool on the slopes of [[Cuilcagh Mountain]] in [[Co Cavan]], from where the young river appears as a small trout stream. However, there is no visible replenishment of the pool. In recent years, potholers have discovered what is now thought to be the actual source of the river further uphill, where a small stream disappears into a sink-hole. This point is in [[Co Fermanagh]], [[Northern Ireland]]. The upper part of Cuilcagh Mountain consists of porous [[limestone]] rock containing sink-holes and risers. From the Shannon Pot, the river subsumes a number of tributaries, some of which are longer than itself, before replenishing Lough Allen at its head. <ref>[http://www.iwai.ie/maps/shannon/guide/17.php3 The Shannon Guide]</ref>''

''The Shannon runs through or between 13 of Ireland's counties. Lakes on the Shannon include Lough Allen, Lough Ree and Lough Derg. Tributaries include the rivers Inny, Suck and Brosna.''

This edit is outside the scope of the reason for protection. Thanks. [[User:CarterBar|CarterBar]] ([[User talk:CarterBar|talk]]) 18:02, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, no more

Since you asked nicely. :-) FishNewbieWikiNoob (talk) 03:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I raise an issue on Sennen goroshi's behaviors, so I really appreciate if you leave your thought at WP:ANI. Thanks.--Caspian blue (talk) 17:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive user in need of block

Re:your message on my talk page - you might want to take a look at user:Jaimaster. He's continually disrupted Wikipedia since the moment he got here in July. (He has declared he intends to continue disrupting Wikipedia ad infinitum.) I'm just about to block him, but if you want, you can take the lead in dealing with him.

Done, with pleasure. --John (talk) 23:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And, having reviewed the contribs, I see what you mean. Isn't there an ARBCOM remedy applicable here? In any case I will happily block if the behavior fails to improve. Thank you for pointing out the matter. --John (talk) 00:13, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

River Shannon

Hi John, You recently protected River Shannon. There's some editing I would like to do on this article. Could you please add the following text by replacing the entire River Shannon#Geography section text with By tradition the Shannon is said to rise in the Shannon Pot, a small pool on the slopes of Cuilcagh Mountain in Co Cavan, from where the young river appears as a small trout stream. However, there is no visible replenishment of the pool. In recent years, potholers have discovered what is now thought to be the actual source of the river further uphill, where a small stream disappears into a sink-hole. This point is in Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The upper part of Cuilcagh Mountain consists of porous limestone rock containing sink-holes and risers. From the Shannon Pot, the river subsumes a number of tributaries, some of which are longer than itself, before replenishing Lough Allen at its head. [1]

The Shannon runs through or between 13 of Ireland's counties. Lakes on the Shannon include Lough Allen, Lough Ree and Lough Derg. Tributaries include the rivers Inny, Suck and Brosna.
