New Page Triage engagement strategy released

Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyes@wikimedia.org.

It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:08, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Carlingford Lough

Hi Bjmullan. Received your message on my talk page. I found some policies that seem to apply to this article and I posted a comment with the policies on the article's talk page. Thanks.Coaster92 (talk) 05:03, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously what is wrong with you? I've obviously added "o" to the text by accident. Please stop identifying my edits as vandalism. Wise up.Hackneyhound (talk) 22:19, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was just an accident. The 'o' button was stuck. It's obviously not a sinister edit. Not like I've added a swear word. Please don't mark an innocent mistake with vandalism. I'm not as bad as you think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hackneyhound (talkcontribs) 22:46, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I've already said I do not think you are bad in any way. Once I thought as a mistake, twice I was worried. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Bjmullan (talk) 22:50, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
you also removed my last comment. I'll assume that was a mistake aswell so could you reinstate it? ThanksHackneyhound (talk) 22:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Hackneyhound, absolutely. Bjmullan (talk) 23:01, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've no idea why that keeps happening. Netbooks!!! Can you reinstate my comment.?Hackneyhound (talk) 11:09, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Bjmullan, you need to look at the edits first, before reverting them. Assume good faith as I think you have missed the edit I made to the discussion.Hackneyhound (talk) 12:59, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I will leave it to you. Bjmullan (talk) 13:14, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hackneyhound, Bjmullan apologized--consider this over. I'm about to close the ANI thread: there is no need for any kind of administrative action here. The edit was mistakenly marked as vandalism, the editor has apologized, and I'm sure they'll be more careful next time. That's all there is to it. Happy days, Drmies (talk) 19:52, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Drmies I had no idea the discussion was even taken place :) Bjmullan (talk) 21:10, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You should have been notified. Hackneyhound, you didn't notify Bjmullan? You were supposed to. Anyway, the discussion at ANI is closed, so let this be the end of it. Drmies (talk) 21:53, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

fightloungemike

Hi, got your message about nationalities. This is what the fighters state they are. If you go to their actual fighter profiles, it states the same as what is did too, i.e http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ali-Maclean-25354

thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fightloungemike (talkcontribs) 21:05, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I've said on Wikipedia we use the sporting bodies as the nationality. Eddie Irvine identifies himself as Irish but his article says he is British. This is the way that Wikipedia does it. Is there independent bodies for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland etc...? If so we should use these otherwise it's British, this not a personal website but an encyclopaedia. 22:18, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Derry / Londonderry

Hi BJ, Thanks for your message regarding my alterations to the Foyle and Londonderry College article, it was most helpful. I'm sure the Derry / Londonderry debate has raged on here for some time and I can, to a certain extent, the need to make a deliberation and distinction between county and city. I cannot accept the insistence that the city be referred to by its informal, colloquial name, regardless of the majority consensus. As you know the city is officially called Londonderry. I would proffer that the stance displayed by the UK City of Culture team is preferable if not ideal. All references to Derry / Londonderry should be merged and both names displayed simultaneously. Another alteration to the article was in the expression of the decision to “re-brand” the school. I think the text and choice of words comes from an article in the local newspapers which was inaccurate and frankly biased in tone. If you are in agreement, I would like to link to an article I penned for the Derry Journal in response to those already included. This may redress the balance slightly by at least acknowledging the stance of the PUL community in Derry. Kind regards, Oh, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to your good self also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigfda (talkcontribs) 09:28, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Craigfda, to say that the debate has raged for some time is putting in lightly! I honestly believe that the current solution is the best compromise for all. I realised that you are new to Wikipedia and the rules and policies can either seems strange or you may not even know they exist. With regard to your own article can I suggest you read the following articles: Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources and Wikipedia:No original research.

Hello, I saw thay you previously had commented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SFL 1 (2nd nomination). I wanted to draw your attention to the Articles for Discussion occuring currently. You may find it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SFL 2. Please feel free to comment. Hasteur (talk) 15:09, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Uhu.

Sorry, if you found my swearing offensive you could of asked for me to remove it, OK? You obviously have another underlying issue with me, I know a lot of my reasoning has been unpopular and you treat me as if I'm some Irish-hating nationalist, but whatever. --Τασουλα (talk) 21:53, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I treated you like I would treat anyone who came to my talkpage swearing. Apology accepted. Bjmullan (talk) 21:59, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I hoped there was no underlying issues because people have gotten me wrong in the past. --Τασουλα (talk) 22:03, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
None whatsoever and I'm sorry my edit summary offended you, it was not my intention. Bjmullan (talk) 22:07, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioned at ANI

Please see WP:ANI#Slow edit war continues, where a user has complained about your edits of Carlingford Lough. EdJohnston (talk) 00:18, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus

Is this what passes for consensus in your book [1]? Seriously? Do not post on my page if you refuse to be reasonable. Attempts have been made to keep everyone happy. The Carlingford page maybe stable for 10 months, but that is not a reason not to make a constructive edit. You have contributed nothing that I can see to this page other than constant reverts. Please try and suggest a NPOV alternative, or join the discussion? Your previous objections highlighted your pov, with the same old bullocks that NI is not a country. That is irrelevant. NI is still a location.Gravyring (talk) 22:04, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
