User talk:Dr. Blofeld

Many thanks to everybody who commented here in support. Contrary to what Banner thinks about my "running away crying" I took the sensible option to simply walk out as if I'd said what I was thinking I'd have been blocked and it wouldn't be worth it. At times you simply just need to walk away given that you can't physically settle issues on here and can't straighten issues out with people forcibly because of civility on here. I believe there is now a clear consensus at WP:Ireland to continue as I was doing and that any further disruption caused by you Banner on this matter will simply give me a greater amount of evidence to present to arb should a request for an interaction or topic ban be necessary. I really hope it doesn't come to that. I was willing to discuss things with you up until the moment you nominated an article for deletion while we were in the middle of a discussion. That was intentionally combative and I really think you did it to provoke a reaction from me. I would rather not be on such terms with you Banner but I think you're letting your personal experiences of working with priests in Ireland affecting your outlook on the articles even though the sources indicate otherwise. I understand the difference between civil parish and Roman Catholic parish, and that civil parishes are seen as old fashioned even if they aren't formally abolished, but where we differ is that you think we cannot cover them in one article and I and everyvody else at WP:Ireland disagrees with you. Above all many thanks to Aymatth2 who has done some excellent groundwork on the matter for County Clare, and Cassianto, SchroCat, Jaguar, Krimuk and anybody else who understands what happened here. I may be a few more days returning to normal editing.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dr Blofeld
It seems to me that The Banner has for the last 18 months used the pages of English Wikipedia as his own personal battle ground. He must have pissed of at least a dozens of good editors by now. I am amazed he has not been blocked more than the six times he has been blocked already. Editors like the Banner jeopardise the success of the project and his out right bullying and disruptive behaviour is surely not going unnoticed by the administrators of this project, or are they also running scared of this vicious and unruly editor. stavros1 ♣ 10:30, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AGF please...

In fact, is take this as a personal attack and lack of good faith. The 101 links to disambiguation pages (what made me find this sloppy article) is something else. The Banner talk 11:12, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@The Banner: I spent ages compiling that article yesterday. I'm steadily going through and dabbing them and sorting it out and have currently reached half way through Cork. I spent over an hour yesterday starting to dab them, it's going to take several more hours to fully dab them, nothing in comparison to what it will take to go through and cleanup the existing ones and start the missing articles. Calling it sloppy (a clear personal attack) and criticising me given the effort I made to get it up and running is mean spirited to say the least and the sort of comment which really makes me feel like walking out of here in disgust at times. I added the tags as I really think you'd have added them and I really didn't want that sort of negativity as I was in the middle of constructing the list.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been load and clear in my criticism of your civil parish approach. Spreading around a template with the same wrong links as the article is not really helpful. Did you not understand why I was critical about your approach? The Banner talk 19:27, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@The Banner: Then why are the articles categorized as civil parishes still then? I understand your concerns that you think they're no longer used but it makes little sense of have separate articles. Most articles on "villages" on wikipedia for Ireland say parish in it in most places and we have existing articles long established ones in fact which state civil parish on here and have the towns and villages template in it. If you're going to argue on this then you should see to it that all articles on civil parishes and towns in Ireland are separated. Any thoughts @Aymatth2: and @Ww2censor:? My feeling on this is that the parishes should be merged into the villages but in the lead have a sentence which reads "The village formed part of a historical civil parish of the same name but it is now deprecated" or something.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:34, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because I don't want a silly edit war what will be coming my way when I clean up the thrash. This mess just gives me grieve and headaches, so I leave it to you, the main (but not sole) creator of this mess, to clean it up. The Banner talk 19:55, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Irish settlements are already generally trash and some are in a diabolical state. Most of them badly need work. I began going through the County Clare places template adding sources and cleaning up. Some of the articles, which are on your watchlist like Liscannor etc, are almost as bad as some of our Pakistani articles. You haven't bothered to do do the cleanup and remove the adverts which exist in them. My intention was to begin some sort of clean up and try to install some sort of coherent order and consistency. As long as you're around being a belligerent prick nothing is going to get done and Irish places on wikipedia will continue to be stale and suck.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:59, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I understand your message that you have no real arguments so you have to resort to personal attacks. Thank you for being so clear in that. The Banner talk 20:04, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I made a major effort with you Banner but the fact is that you're not a decent fellow, otherwise you'd not still hold this grudge you've got. Ww2 censor, would you like to see this sort of improvement on Irish towns and missing articles started like Kilmoon or like Banner do you also assume bad faith and think I'm causing a mess? I'm not going put up with this sort of hostility. Articles on your watchlist which you edited even back in 2011 until very recently had bollocks like this infesting it. Why didn't you clean it up? And I'm causing more of a mess than that?♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:59, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Too bad you mix up a protestant parish with a RC parish and a civil parish. The Banner talk 20:29, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kilmurry Ibrickane has an infobox settlement box in it and also a places template with villages. If it was intended as purely a Roman Catholic parish article it would have neither and would have some sort of religious box. Unless the RC parish is vastly different from the civil parish then it makes no sense to split them. The article should probably be expanded to cover the village and civil and then have a paragraph in it on the RC parish if it is different.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:32, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

yep, I predicted that you would go to war of it. The Banner talk 20:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You turn up and make out that I'm causing some sort of huge mess, what sort of reaction did you expect? If you spent your time cleaning up Irish villages and sourcing them probably and cleaning up the existing confusion between villages and parishes instead of creating stubs on restaurants I wouldn't have to do it would I?♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:46, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I expect that you come with real arguments and stay polite. Don't try to decide what I have to do on Wikipedia. The Banner talk 20:48, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You've ignored most of the mess which currently exists, even though you live in Ireland and frequently revert people on the articles. You're in no position either to tell me to stop creating a mess or moaning at the effort I'm making.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:54, 3 March 2014 (UTC) @SchroCat: and @Cassianto:[reply]

I was reverted with this edit summary in which he says The vicar says it's not a civil parish These sources [1] and [2] state that it at least was a civil parish. On wikipedia we go by what reliable source state, not what somebody says by word of mouth even if affiliated with it right? If the article is intended to be on a religious parish, the infobox settlement and places template should be removed and you should explicitly state and link Kilmurry Ibrickane (village) in the article.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:51, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am very interested in your article Kilmurry Ibrickane (village)... The Banner talk 20:55, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is intended purely as a religious article like a Diocese then the infobox settlement and place box should be removed and a new article on the village and civil parish started. Either way we need a broader (and more civilized) discussion involving the rest of the Irish project to decide on what to do about villages vs civil parishes. The fact is that most articles clearly intended on villages and towns mention it is also a civil parish and is treated as both. Either this is completely overhauled for Ireland or you leave me to continue my work on it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:59, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox clearly states that it is about a parish. Don't blame me for people combining all types of infoboxes. You are very welcome to write an article about the civil parish and, as you call it, the village Kilmurry Ibrickane. The Banner talk 21:26, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One last try... According to your own source: The civil parish was the fundamental administrative unit within each county. These parishes were based on the medieval Christian parishes, adapted by the English administration and the Protestant Church of Ireland. Government and Church of Ireland records between the 17th and early 20th centuries utilized these territorial units. They are not currently used as administrative units. Catholic parishes differ from civil parishes and are generally bigger in size. The Catholic parish system is still evolving and forms the basis for much of Ireland's social, educational and sporting activities. Catholic Parish Registers of birth, marriage and death are organised by Catholic parish.

At present, all people in Kilmurry Ibrickane (and some other west-Clare parishes) have to register their marriage at the office of the Civil Registration Service in Ennistymon, at least three months in advance of the actual marriage date. They can decide themselves where they keep the actual ceremony, either a RC ceremony in one of the three RC churches in the parish, a Protestant ceremony in the church near Milltown Malbay (part of the Church of Ireland parish Drumcliffe) or a civil in an approved location (mostly the two hotels in Spanish Point. The same applies to deaths and births, they are also registered in Ennistymon.

I am unaware of a protestant parish of Kilmurry Ibrickane. Most likely the area was combined with protestant parish of Kilfarboy (although a namesake, not identical to the RC parish or civil parish). I am also not aware of any protestant church in the present territory of Kilmurry Ibrickane.

In the (short) time in 2011 that I was working at the RC parish office of Kilmurry Ibrickane I was only keeping the books of the RC weddings, baptisms and deaths. I did not register civil or protestant facts nor births. Although the Church Records are official records, approved by the Civil Registration Service, the parish office is not a part of the Civil Registration Service nor a civil parish.

Kilmurry Ibrickane (village) listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Kilmurry Ibrickane (village). Since you had some involvement with the Kilmurry Ibrickane (village) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. The Banner talk 22:07, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not right zoom in there's a settlement of that name. Just when I thought you were beginning to accept civil parish and village you go and do this. I've had enough. Kilmurry Ibrickane should cover the village and civil parish and the hatnote at the top to the religious parish of the same name. Dabbing it is totally unnecessary, if there isn't a hamlet or village of that name why is it labelled as such on google maps?♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:15, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First, my paper map (Discovery series, nr. 57) calls it Kilmurry. Secondly, it is not a village, but a mere hamlet. Thirdly, that church that gave the parish its name is slightly more to the north. Fourthly, the main village of the parish is Mullagh, County Clare. Sorry, but don't you think that the details should be correct? The Banner talk 22:41, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hamlet rather than a village, it doesn't make any difference. The article on the settlement however small should be in with the article on the civil parish. I think it's time we took this to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland for discussion.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:43, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I advice you to use this wording, already present in the original Kilmurry Ibrickane article: The parish derives its name from the tiny settlement of Kilmurry in the Barony Ibrickane, the location of the church before Cromwellian times.^[1] The Banner talk 22:47, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

^ Kilmurry Ibrickane Church

We can't have three different articles though Kilmurry, Kilmurry Ibrickane, and Kilmurry Ibrickane (Roman Catholic parish). It makes sense to at least have hamlet even if just called Kilmurry and mention the civil parish within it Kilmurray Ibrickane rather than all individually. I understand the difference between a Roman Catholic parish and a civil parish and agree that if its some sort of religious division like a diocese or sub division of that they should probably be distinguished. There must be some decent solution on this. The problem for me mainly is that if the religious parish is identical to the civil parish and there's not really much to say on either, or on the principal village of the same name it makes more sense to have it all consolidated in one article. I've just trying to install some sort of order and consistency into articles. We need to come to a solution on this as it's not fair to keep turning up here and bad mouthing what I'm doing when I'm trying to do just the opposite.♦ Dr. Blofeld 23:04, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is why I did the text suggestion. In my opinion Kilmurry is just too small to warrant an own article. By now, it consists of a ruined church, two graveyards (on either side of the road), a pub and a few farms. The Banner talk 23:18, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It does look like a townland sort of rural place on google maps I must say. But by default I think Kilmurray/Killmurrya Ibrickane should be the article on the civil parish/hamlet and the hat note to the religious parish at the top.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:27, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The actual townland in which you find Kilmurry is Shandrum. It is not even a townland on it own. The Banner talk 11:46, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is it OK if the redirect for discussion, the discussion is held at the RfD page? It's a bit confusing if you list something there then continue a discussion on a user talk page and not on either (any) of the article's own talk pages. Si Trew (talk) 08:44, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, I know you didn't. It's just getting a bit confusing with all the goings-on.

Hello Dr. Blofeld, sorry to bother you again about Bieber. Unfortunately, only 5 of the 16 editors who posted their opinion in the General survey part of Bieber's RfC posted again in the point-by-point survey. Progress simply isn't made - could you help to post in the responses to above points subsection to move it forward? Thank you very much. starship.paint (talk | ctrb) 08:49, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your immediate input Dr. Blofeld! However, you posted in the General survey - which you've already done so previously some time ago. I was hoping that you would post in the Responses to above points section. Thank you! starship.paint (talk | ctrb) 09:25, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rfd for Kilmurray/Kilmurray

I see your bind and that is why I bunged in. The difficulty is for the purpose of RfD it is difficult to discuss something when the articles are moving about (the hatnote was on the RC one when I first looked and gone again later), so my or any other editors' comments are kinda immediately irrelevant if the article keeps changing (it is not as if there are the permIDs on the articles at the nominations at XfD).

Lae template

Dr,

I am trying to use the new urban map template for suburbs around Lae and I get this message:

3 Mile, Lae is located in Template:Location map Papua New Guinea Lae urban

File:Template:Location map Papua New Guinea Lae urban Yalu Location in the Lae area

This is the template. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Papua_New_Guinea_Lae_urban

I was just wondering if you knew what I was doing wrong.

thanks very much Phenss (talk) 10:02, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. I was wondering if you saw the message above? Also would appreciate your thoughts on Kainantu. I saw that you created it some time ago. cheers Phenss (talk) 12:11, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Thank you. I wouldn't pay too much weight to that map. It looks like the Indonesians created it at time of territorial disputes. I have never heard of those villages. But the map may be useful for nomenclature. Thanks Phenss (talk) 00:02, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: GA

That's great, thanks amigo!

Would have liked to have helped bring Flat Bastion up to scratch but been rather busy of late offline. I've been wanting to find out more about the bastion myself as I live just down the road from it but as you say there seems to be very little info readily available. I'll ask the guys at the Museum and History Society in case they can be of any help. I'm pretty sure Hughes and Migos would have included something in their gazetteer book about Gib's fortifications. Maybe @Prioryman: has come across it?

As for other GA suggestions let me become familiar with the GA criteria first so I can see for myself which ones if any are almost there. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 22:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Ocean Village Marina, Gibraltar

Featured list candidates

Dr. Blofeld, when you have free time, could you take a look at two FL nominations? I would like to receive as much feedback as possible so that I can improve and expand upon lists illustrating colleges and universities in West Virginia and colleges and universities in Delaware. I value your guidance, and appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have. Thanks again! -- Caponer (talk) 13:11, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll look a bit later!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:15, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK potential

Hi Dr B. Hope you're well. I wonder if you could help with this article for a cheeky DYK, with a hook such as "Saddam Hussain was last seen in Poland, and is now a missing person". :D Thanks for anything you can do to help! Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 20:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Haha that would be a great one. I don't contribute to DYK any longer though, perhaps @LauraHale: could help.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
