I received a sickening message from someone involved with this site and it was nothing more than rotten filth. This is the message I received from someone called Epbr123 connected with this site.

Club infobox

Me and User:RDeane where/are having a discussion about infoboxs for gaa clubs overseas , you might be interested in adding to it here(Gnevin 22:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC))

Your user page

If i maybe so bold too suggest the following minor changes for your user page

Based in San Francisco. Mostly into Gaelic Athletic Association overseas, particularly North American GAA and San Francisco GAA. Wouldn't mind educating more people about the great work we're doing to grow gaelic games out here. I keep an eye out for POV, there's a lot of it out there where the GAA is concerned.

As i said only a suggestion (Gnevin 23:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC))

Done. Thanks. --Eamonnca1 18:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Structure of the GAA

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Structure of the GAA, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Structure of the GAA. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

If i could direct your attention to

Irish Republicanism

Eamonn, I notice you are more interested in Irish cultural nationalism and sport but I was also hoping a good editor like yourselves would help out over at {{WP:IR}}

regards--Vintagekits 17:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Easter

Hi, Thanks for your comment on the Easter talk page. I'm inclined to agree with you that the article gives undue weight to the Christian festival, which is why I have proposed page moves to rectify this. See Talk:Easter#Proposed_major_change_-_remove_Christian_POV for a link to the discussion page. Many thanks, --Rebroad 10:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

CYC video

[1] I assume this eamonnca1 is you ? If you where to state on youtube that you tube eamonnca1 is you , we could add this link too the CYC page (Gnevin 21:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC))

That's me, but I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say here. --Eamonnca1 21:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry it's a little late here , i assume you made these video or know the copyright holder, for the to allowed to be used on wiki you need to state somewhere on your youtube site that you release these videos for use on wiki (Gnevin 21:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC))

Done --Eamonnca1 17:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Boston GAA

Hi I renamed the Boston GAA article from Northest Board to Northeastern USA GAA. It's is a bit more transparent from outside the GAA community. Gnevin said that i should tell you that. --Gael-wh 13:21, 30 April 2007 (UTC) (moved from user page Gnevin 13:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC))

Teen Slang

A tag has been placed on Teen Slang, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ROGER ^TALK 04:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the message. I didn't actually delete the article, one of the admins did. The issue was that it didn't tie into anything else and didn't have any references (ie a newspaper story or web article) to back it up. Rather than just re-creating it, which is frowned on, you might do better searching for an article that covers the same general area (Youth subculture for instance} and add a bit in there on teen slang to start with. If you get stuck, just shout! --ROGER ^TALK 19:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Any time you create a new article, save a copy of the text to a file on your computer, not for straight out recreation, but for a base to correct and improve any concerns, just in case it gets quickly deleted. Soon you will know what makes a proper article and your articles will not be in danger of quick deletion. Hu 19:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Washington Area

Hi i recall some time back that Washington was going to split from the Philly GAA board . Did this ever happen is so what's the name of the division so i can add to {{Gaelic games in North America}}Gnevin (talk) 22:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Should i add them to the template as a Metropolitan or Regional division ? Gnevin (talk) 22:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok box updated,would you know enough about these boards to start a stub on them maybe Regional division of Northern American GAA Gnevin (talk) 20:56, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Achievements of the GAA

I have nominated Achievements of the GAA, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Achievements of the GAA. 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.

Ireland naming question

You are receiving this message because you have previously posted at a Ireland naming related discussion. Per Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ireland article names#Back-up procedure, a procedure has been developed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland Collaboration, and the project is now taking statements. Before creating or replying to a statement please consider the statement process, the problems and current statements. GnevinAWB (talk) 17:58, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Northern Ireland

Would you mind self-reverting your edit to this article. The previous (i.e. recently changed) wording was not "fine":

1. It omits to state that people in NI are British citizens.
2. It refers instead to the legally meaningless "identification" as "Irish citizens, British citizens or both", rather than actually stating the legal position.
3. It refers to passports which is of little relevance.
4. It has no consensus, whereas the other text was well-established and the result of collaboration and consensus.

Thanks Mooretwin (talk) 20:56, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

GAA

If you are only disputing the issue about the parish unit, would you mind please restoring the rest of the text? There are a total of seven changes that the three of you have made, and it would simplify the dispute resolution process if we were able to concentrate only on the parish unit question (which is the only one of the changes that has thus far been discussed).

Thank you. Mooretwin (talk) 21:11, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

It is disappointing that you have elected not to restore the rest of the text. I am now assuming that you support all the other unsourced changes, even though you have only brought one of them to dispute resolution. I shall, therefore, have to extend the remit of the dispute. Mooretwin (talk) 09:03, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

You 'assume' a little too much. --Eamonnca1 (talk) 10:11, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps if you communicated with me, I wouldn't need to assume? Mooretwin (talk) 10:13, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps if you take it up with the people who made those edits, you wouldn't need to communicate with me about them? --Eamonnca1 (talk) 10:38, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

What is your view about the edits made by those people? Mooretwin (talk) 10:59, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

I have, by the way, proposed a compromise. Mooretwin (talk) 09:03, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Field Hockey In Ireland

Hi,

I changed the phrase back there, but i'm happy to revert myself if you have a link showing that people in Ireland use the term "hockey" to refer to field hockey, as there's also a part about ice hockey in that article and it can seem somewhat confusing without external referencing. Doc Quintana (talk) 01:25, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

NACB

Is the NACB named as such because Canadian teams where under its control before the formation of the CCB ? Gnevin (talk) 14:14, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes --Eamonnca1 (talk) 18:32, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Is that available on the net anywhere so we can add to the article to explain the strange name of the NACB Gnevin (talk) 18:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

There's a note here about the founding of the CCB, but it doesn't specifically mention the NACB: http://canada.gaa.ie/countyboardandhistory.html --Eamonnca1 (talk) 19:10, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I found a ref it doesn't spell out that it's the NACB because it also had clubs in Canada but gives some context Gnevin (talk) 19:40, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Lurgan GA

Hi Eamonnca1. I've never did a GA review and I'm not sure that I'm up to the task but I did have a look at the Lurgan article and thought the I would let you know my thoughts and you can decide what if anything to do with them :)

1. Not sure I like the positioning of the reference in the Townlands section. They seems to be left out on their own.

2. Have you considered putting Clubs, Living and Deceased into easier to read bullet points?

3. Not sure what the Broadstone Castle and Barony, Ayrshire in the Also see is about.

4. Very small one but there is an inconsistency with your references (^[12]) in that some have no space after the full stop or comma and some have.

5. You have two ambiguous links @ Stormont and Dissident Republican.

6. Craigavon Golf Ski Centre is a dead link

7. The link "A man who stood up for truth" (info) [guardian.co.uk] does a redirect from www.observer.guardian.co.uk to www.guardian.co.uk

8. Same with the link "Lurgan station" (info) [railscot.co.uk]

9. Forgot to say that none of the images in the article have an alt text.

Hope this helps and good luck. Bjmullan (talk) 16:49, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, I've gone through and fixed a few of these. For 1 I'm not entirely sure what to do about those refs, I'm gonna leave them there for now. 2 - WP:UKCITIES actually prefers prose over bullet lists. 3 - Removed. 4 - Any idea whether wiki prefers to space or to leave it out? 5 - Stormont link fixed, dissident repub link is fine. 6 - Fixed. 7 - That link works fine for me. 8 - Link works fine for me. 9 - Thanks, I'll look into that. --Eamonnca1 (talk) 18:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Regards 7 & 8 the links ok but the initial webpage is redirected. So the best things to do is go to the links and then paste these into the ref's. Just checked a FA and no space before the ref. Bjmullan (talk) 18:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Where should you go?

Leading question, no? Since Mooretwin doesn't seem to have crossed your path since you left him a message, I think the answer would be that you don't need to go anywhere or do anything. If you have a similar problem in the future, you can leave me a message. Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I've had a look at Talk:Lurgan and, to be honest, I don't think you have a case. Yes, the timing suggests that he came upon the Lurgan article via your contributions page, but the edit itself looks like a good faith edit and the discussion on the talk page is fairly typical of the editor and his worldview. It doesn't seem to me either that the edit would adversely affect your GA nomination, whether or not you personally agree with the edit. In short, one instance, and especially where the editor follows BRD, can't really be called hounding. The trouble with "taking it further" is that, if you can't show obvious disruption, it may be you that ends up being branded as disruptive. I would take Angus's advice, and let it go. Scolaire (talk) 17:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

PS "Association football" is considered a reasonable compromise on Wikipedia. See Association football in the Republic of Ireland and the move discussion on its talk page. Scolaire (talk) 17:46, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Obituary

Hello, sorry if I goof this up by trying to create a new section, but can you link John Cushnie's obituary to the Lurgan page? Thanks.
