I have enjoyed some of my time on this website, but it is not a good use of my time. I am spending the summer creating literature, rather than wasting my time with the hidebound.

Tapadh leibh a chairdean - thank you friends.

As for my non-friends, and the nuisance makers (you know who you are) - "Dy jig Skeab Lome ort hene, er dty hiollagh, er dty hlaynt, er dty chooid as er dty chloan!"

-==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Sweere-arse]]==
-[[Image:Copyright-problem.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]
-{{Quote box|quote=<p>If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read [[WP:Your first article|the guide to writing your first article]].</p><p>You may want to consider using the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard|Article Wizard]] to help you create articles.</p>|width=20%|align=right}}
-A tag has been placed on [[:Sweere-arse]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article or image appears to be a clear [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/sweir. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators '''will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''.
-If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]. You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]].
-If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Sweere-arse|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Jbhunley|<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:14pt;color:#886600">J</span><span style="font-family:Lucida Calligraphy;font-size:10pt;color:#886600">bh</span>]][[User_talk:Jbhunley|<span style="color: #00888F"><sup>Talk</sup></span>]] 01:04, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
-== Frustration  ==
-@[[User:Bishonen]] and [[User:NeilN]]
-I ran [https://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py?users=MacRusgail&users=Jbhunley&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns= Editor Interaction Analyser] on the accounts [[User:MacRusgail]] and [[user:Jbhunley]]. In every case where the two have edited articles [[User:MacRusgail]] edited the article first. While not approving of MacRusgail's uncivil comments, I can understand from the tool's output (which does not include in its summary those articles that have been deleted), why [[User:MacRusgail]] feels hounded. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 20:11, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
-:[[User:PBS|PBS]], Jbhunley has edited ~16 pages of the roughly 26,000 pages MacRusgail has edited and you can understand how MacRusgail feels hounded?

-::I was passing through some rugby pages which is a area that MacRusgail edits. I came to this talk page over something or other (I forget what) and noticed the page had been blanked, so I had a look at it before it was blanked, and noticed the squall. Having looked at it and, looked at MacRusgail [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=MacRusgail&prefix=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27+noticeboard&fulltext=Search&fulltext=Search relative absence from the ANI and other archives], I decided to dig a little deeper, to see why MacRusgail seemed to be frustrated and making what must be relatively unusual comments given the lack of ANI activity. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 21:22, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
-:{{ec}} {{ping|PBS}} Of course the editor interaction tool is going to show he edited the articles first. He created them - but he does not [[WP:OWN]] them! The problem is that the ones I looked at were poorly sourced <small>(There is one that he just created the article from a Wikipedia list entry and copied the errors there without checking the source. Another he just copied information from a web site and got the birth year wrong when <em>any</em> research would have turned up better sources with the correct information)</small>, many were completely non-notable  and <em>one was a copy-paste copyright violation</em>, none of them were acceptable articles as they stood. The ones that could be improved were improved by other editors or by me - not that MacRusgail seems to care about that. I offered <em>repeatedly</em> to work with him and was told to "go crawl back under my rock" and was called a "pathetic little man". That is just what I remember off the top of my head. I am sorry he feels hounded but, from my point of view, he has been trying to use insults and complaints to attempt to bully me from examining the extremely poor articles he created. <p> Based on what I have seen of his editing he is careless with his sources and writes articles without doing even basic research. The first article of his I saw on NPP was on a book about which the sole claim to notability was it was <em>a 99p Kindle Unlimited book special!</em>. He has a poor understanding of our notability requirements and our sourcing requirements, no ability to accept criticism and is completely unwilling to address issues with his articles when they are pointed out to him. Rather he goes on the attack with insults and claims of harassment. {{red|This is exactly the kind of editor whose contributions need to be examined more closely no matter how many years he has been here or how many tens of thousands of edits he has.}} The contributions I have reviewed, and the over the top response I got when questioning them, simply do not reflect an editor with the experience which is documented by the account history. If this is going to continue to be an issue I can document his behavior, my interactions with him and fully justify every edit I have made with respect to this editor and <em>"his"</em> articles and submit it to any dispute resolution forum he chooses.

-== ISBN for reference ==
-Hi, can you add the ISBN for these books and fix the references ? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rugby_Europe&type=revision&diff=335338616&oldid=304144752 . Thanks  [[User:Gnevin|Gnevin]] ([[User talk:Gnevin|talk]]) 12:14, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
