Welcome

Hi, Hallucegenia, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia. You have already made some valuable and well-thought-out contributions. I'm afraid that, like many Wikipedians, I suffer from a 'satiable curtiosity. Would you care to give us a clue to your previous identity? And were you an "Ireland Collaborationist" in your previous life? Regards. Scolaire (talk) 12:15, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Always happy to answer questions from an Elephant Child. I have only edited Wikipedia under a couple of IP addresses, 82.30.246.119 (talk · contribs) and 82.30.246.35 (talk · contribs), so I don't really have a previous identity on Wikipedia.

I've been watching the Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland Collaboration board for a while, but I arrived there by accident really. At the time, I was interested in the Israel/Palestinian question, and I was looking around to see how other editors approach an area where contributors' history and background affect their interpretation of what others are saying.

If we can get a positive outcome out of these discussions, then I think the whole Project talk page should be preserved as a case study in how to resolve conflicts in cases like this.

If we can get a positive outcome out of these discussions, it should be sent to Barack Obama as a case study in how to resolve conflicts ;-) Scolaire (talk) 19:25, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite encouraged by the way things are going at the moment, but then again it's just a subsidiary poll, so it doesn't really matter to people. I suppose when the main poll starts, and people feel their sense of self and of national affiliation are under threat, it could get very heated again. We shall see.

Oh, don't get me wrong - I'm very hopeful as well, especially compared with how I felt in January when I just unwatched all the affected pages. By that time I felt as though it had consumed all my spare time, and all my emotional reserves, for the previous eight months. I'm so looking forward to the two year freeze that will follow the result, whatever that may be. Scolaire (talk) 22:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
