Ireland disambiguation task force

Can you look at this WP:IDTF? I haven't quite finished it (a table showing cross-defined Ireland articles is coming). It's a hugely bold move - but WP:BITASK took an age to get off and it's clearly needed, as the various Ireland-related pages get so filled up, that 'motatoriums' get put in place (which are very anti-WP imo). I have to go out right now, but I'll be back soon. I'm asking Jza84 too - I'll show more later. Feel free to spread it if you like it and think it's ready.--Matt Lewis (talk) 12:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its up now but has immediately been put up for deletion. Perhaps you could look at it and vote? (either in the proposal it kicks off with, or the deletion poll). --Matt Lewis (talk) 02:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stara Zagora

Hey, what are you talking about? "Referenced"? It's absolutely obvious those IPs have been terrorizing the page for quite a long time and they continue to do so. You think it's "referenced" that Stara Zagora is not a city, but a "metro" and the "second most important economic centre"? Come on, we have sockpuppet IPs used by one person to avoid 3RR, I've been protecting this page for years, now the vandalism escalates and nobody is doing anything to prevent that! If it isn't evident, the "reference" is just a reference to the unofficial average salary study, which has nothing to do in the intro anyway, and says nothing of a fifth largest metro or economic centre of any kind.

What has to happen to that page so somebody would do a thing to stop it? We have an IP 3RR-ing yesterday, another IP 3RR-ing today, the same reverts, the same way they do them (undo function), obviously related to well-known puppeteer accounts (the weird Stara Zagora fetish is enough of an evidence). How am I supposed to tackle that? Leave the vandals do whatever they want to do? This is shocking... Todor →Bozhinov 13:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AIV is not the place for content disputes. There are other places to report such things. AIV is for obvious vandalism, and there was nothing that matched that description in the diffs that were reported. Waggers (talk) 07:59, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

British Isles and TharkunColl

Hi. Indeed, a pity that a block had to happen. One thing. That 141 IP address seems to pop up every couple of months and always gets into disruptive editing on the British Isles page. It must be a sock of another editor. 79.155.245.81 (talk) 10:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - posted this earlier in the wrong place --Snowded TALK 10:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I took it back to the position before the Wikipiere Sock did any edits. That I think is a stable version. If think I should have acted otherwise please tell me. I am getting really sick of these pages but don't want to leave them to persistent edit warrers. --Snowded TALK 10:09, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I feel exactly the same way. Waggers (talk) 19:50, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you have a look through the /References page? I think Nuclare recently added some stuff from one of the Irish newspapers at the bottom of the page and got the format a little wrong so it's hard to read towards the bottom of the article. Still, the content is there. 79.155.245.81 (talk) 07:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't saying that an editor's comments "reek of immaturity" awfully close to a personal attack? Maybe you should read the reference (finally) before being so sure you're mature yourself. You've been on that page a LONG time and it might be mature to read the references before having an opinion there. 79.155.245.81 (talk) 16:23, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concur.

I feel the user is gaming the system, causing as much damage as possible and stopping after a final warning. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 19:10, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hoi.

Sarah777's section will go up next on my report. I will leave you a message when it is done. I do not, under any circumstances wheel war, so I will not directly undo any action you do, so do what you feel is needed. If you take a look at my report, I'm sanctioning Sarah under prongs A, B, weak C, strong E, Strong F, and weak G. --Tznkai (talk) 11:49, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The basics of the reasoning behind my sanctions of Sarah777 is live here. Please notify Sarah of the same.--Tznkai (talk) 14:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, so you may want to start looking. Remaining diffs as of this time are going to be further examples of Sarah's combative conduct and factionalism on various talk pages, and then my conclusion--Tznkai (talk) 14:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
