Talk:Bradley Manning/October 2013 move request

Greetings. Because you participated in the August 2013 move request regarding this subject, you may be interested in participating in the current discussion. This notice is provided pursuant to Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification. Cheers! bd2412 T 21:32, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

OOo/AOO

Cheers! I've been working on this one for a while. There's a lot of contention on the legitimacy of the AOO project versus LO and the original OOo, as the extensive contention on the talk pages and their archives, and out there in the big world of sources (I've literally read everything I can find from the past 13 years in several languages) will show. Lots of fanboys on both sides. I am most heartened to see more participation - I want these articles to be as absolutely good and useful to the reader as they can be - David Gerard (talk) 20:11, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you're being naive or simply jumping the gun, but as long as there's an open RfC, there is still potential for discussion. Please don't assume anything at this point. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:57, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Manning naming dispute closed

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

1. Hitmonchan (talk · contribs) is indefinitely topic-banned from all pages relating to any transgender topic or individual, broadly construed.
2. IFreedom1212 (talk · contribs) is indefinitely topic-banned from all pages relating to any transgender topic or individual, broadly construed.
3. Tarc (talk · contribs) is indefinitely topic-banned from all pages relating to any transgender topic or individual, broadly construed.
4. Josh Gorand (talk · contribs) is indefinitely topic-banned from all pages relating to any transgender topic or individual, broadly construed.
5. Baseball Bugs (talk · contribs) is indefinitely topic-banned from all pages relating to any transgender topic or individual, broadly construed. He is also topic banned from all pages (including biographies) related to leaks of classified information, broadly construed.
6. David Gerard (talk · contribs) is admonished for acting in a manner incompatible with the community's expectations of administrators (see #David Gerard's use of tools).
7. David Gerard (talk · contribs) is indefinitely prohibited from using his administrator permissions (i) on pages relating to transgender people or issues and (ii) in situations involving such pages. This restriction may be first appealed after six months have elapsed, and every six months thereafter.
8. The standard discretionary sanctions adopted in Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Sexology for (among other things) "all articles dealing with transgender issues" remain in force. For the avoidance of doubt, these discretionary sanctions apply to any dispute regarding the proper article title, pronoun usage, or other manner of referring to any individual known to be or self-identifying as transgender, including but not limited to Chelsea/Bradley Manning. Any sanctions imposed should be logged at the Sexology case, not this one.
9. All editors, especially those whose behavior was subject to a finding in this case, are reminded to maintain decorum and civility when engaged in discussions on Wikipedia, and to avoid commentary that demeans any other person, intentionally or not.

Edit conflict

I presume you guessed that removing your post was a consequence of the edit conflict and that I was unaware of it until it was too late. Apologies anyway. Scolaire (talk) 09:18, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Defence Forces again

I sincerely hope that you're not going to start edit-warring on the talk page in lieu of edit-warring on the article. The question I asked was whether both versions should be included. You have not disputed (and how could you) that Fórsaí Cosanta is an Irish version of the English name, therefore there is no way the question was not neutral. If you want to argue that only the "name" is permitted, do so in the survey and/or discussion, not in the section heading. Scolaire (talk) 09:44, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

RfC should be phrased neutrally. The nub of the RfC is whether Fórsaí Cosanta is a name for the Defence Forces. Reliable sources say it is not. The you put forward presupposes that Fórsaí Cosanta is an version of the name. --Tóraí (talk) 11:16, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

You will see that I did not interfere with your edit of the question. The change to the section heading had the effect of making it consist only of an Irish phrase, which would discourage anybody who doesn't speak Irish from participating in, or even trying to follow, the RfC.

Once and for all, the nub of the RfC is NOT whether Fórsaí Cosanta is a name for the Defence Forces. It is whether Fórsaí Cosanta should be included in brackets. The "name" question is a bee in your own bonnet, which you are at liberty to address in the RfC, but is not the question I am asking. I am asking whether Fórsaí Cosanta, which is a version of the English "Defence Forces", should be included along with Óglaigh na hÉireann, which is another version. That question is succinctly put in the section heading. Scolaire (talk) 16:12, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Declined speedy.

Given that you declined speedy deletion on Prime Time: Charity Anthology, you might want to look at the author's other contributions: After Dark: Charity Anthology. My guess would be that it would work best to add it to the single AFD you have created. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:12, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm not saying they shouldn't be deleted. I'm just declining to speedy delete it. A single AfD sounds like a good idea. --Tóraí (talk) 20:20, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Good Friday Agreement

A Thóraí, a chara,

You reverted my edits to British-Irish Council because the language should be according to British standards.

However, the work I did on that (and many other) pages is to remove redirects. Your reversion brought us back to redirects.

I suggest that if the issue remains, it should be addressed by moving the page at issue. At worst, you could simply add the names with piping, although if your argument is correct you should not do that but rather request/make a page move.

We should definitely not keep redirects as-is, however.

Yours, Áine the Ogress

Áine, thanks for your comment.

There's no need to "fix" redirects (see here). Redirects exit for many reasons and changing them changes the text of article. For example, "fixing" redirects may change the spelling of a word from one variety of English to another (e.g. "organisation" → "organization") or it may change a more appropriate choice of language to a less appropriate term (e.g. "British-Irish Agreement" → "Good Friday Agreement").

The title of articles do not always match up with the language or spelling we want to use in articles. For example, the title of the article on international organizations is spelt with a "z". But in an article written in British English, it would be spelt with an "s" (so there would be a redirect).

In other cases, redirects link to articles about related topics and it is inappropriate to exchange one term for another. The article on the Belfast Agreement is at Good Friday Agreement (because that is the common name for the agreement). Meanwhile, the British-Irish Council was set up under the British-Irish Agreement, which was an outcome of the overall Belfast Agreement. And it's not accurate to simply exchange one term for another. --Tóraí (talk) 19:07, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Someone from NI

I was reading over the talkpage and what you said about "Irish" being the correct term and a smile came to my face, when I rememberedBBC's "Irish" football coverage, it mainly deals with "Northern Irish" football. Then my own stupidity of failing to remember the Irish Football Association and former Irish league. Next time slap me with a trout Tóraí, and give me a strong coffee.

Somme losses

I think they were the right way round but I've forgotten which source they were from and haven't found it yet....Keith-264 (talk) 08:33, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

It strange because the numbers appears to match the final estimates - but in reverse. I wouldn't know where to begin looking, so I'll leave you to it :-) --Tóraí (talk) 09:55, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm not going contend, but really, it's nothing to do with the lack of sources

I cited numerous sources that suggest "western Europe" is more common. That alone, without any reason for preference of "north-western Europe", is enough. I don't think that 7 editors, opposing with no reasoning is consensus. It's just fuckery really. Unbelievable. Rob (talk | contribs) 23:35, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

You made a reasoned argument based on your own observation of maps. A source is someone else (published) saying the UK isn't in northern Europe. Don't take it to heart. --Tóraí (talk) 23:47, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Oh, that's the Irish navy for you. Silent. But deadly. There could be an Irish navel vessel floating around your house right now, asserting sovereignty over your downstairs loo, and you mightn't even know it.

In any case, it's a hi-res picture of the rock. And an interesting photograph to see Ireland asserting ownership of the rock or (more likely IMO) defying the British claim. --Tóraí (talk) 18:29, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

An edit summary you should read

It is this one[1]. What did I say- Trying to inject humor here. I also gave[2] Tryptofish a kitten a few hours later. Your assessment of me is very far off....William 12:04, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, as a reader, I (and presumably others) only saw your remark as posted. If it was meant as a joke, fine. Humour is important. But it fell flat. Even seeing your edit summary, it didn't work as a joke IMO. It reads like you were jeering Tyrpto rather than trying to defuse the exchange. But I'm happy to accept you at your word, if that's not what you meant. --Tóraí (talk) 15:38, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Advice re 3RR?

Here you go: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Simplest action is to IP protect the article for what every period the person would be blocked for 3RR. Unfortunately, that has a side effect of blocking all IP edits. --Tóraí (talk) 20:24, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Ireland

Back in early 2010 you helped bring this to GA but I see that linkrot has set in so almost 10% of the inline citations were marked as dead. I've fixed about half but could do with some assistance to bring the rest up to date. Some are totally unavailable so the prose may need to be rewritten with new citations or updated if you can find something reliable. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Belfast, which is under FAR, (actually it has been delisted despite only 8 days notifiation on the appropriate geographic projects) needs a lot of help and I am not sure I am up to the task on my own. Thanks. ww2censor (talk) 21:28, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

ww2censor, I probably won't be able to work on any of these over the immediate few days, but I'll start putting some time into them from next week onwards and we can see what we can do to get them back into shape. --Tóraí (talk) 22:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

I've rerun Checklinks on Ireland and revised all the problem citations plus added a few new ones. Maybe with some work this could be brought up to FA but some information needs updating. What do you think? Belfast has been demoted but might be rescued if some work was done. Thanks for any help you can give. ww2censor (talk) 10:33, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Template:Irish derived place name

Hi Tóraí. Why did you create Template:Irish derived place name in 2010 when there was a pre-existing three-year-old template called Template:Irish place name? They appear to do the same thing and the documentation text is identical, so having two templates creates confusion by causing research to work out "What's the difference? What's the point? Which should I use? Is there actually any difference? If not, why are there two?". Unless there is a good reason for having two, I think the newer one ought to be deleted to spare editors wasting their time trying to parse some subtle difference, if there even is one. On the other hand, if there is actually an important difference and both templates are justified, then the documentation for both should provide a clear differentiation to guide editors. Thank you. — O'Dea (talk) 18:20, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, the "derived" template was created for Northern Ireland. The argument was that there is no designated Irish-language for, say Strabane. So, having an intodocution like: "Strabane (Irish: Srath Bán)..." was controversial. At the same time, value was seen in giving the Irish-language name if the place name was derived from Irish. So "Strabane (from Irish: Srath Bán)..." was acceptable.

Maybe a better solution would be to move these to Template:Ireland place name and Template:Northern Ireland place name. --Tóraí (talk) 20:14, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

I am confused by your reply. If Strabane, for example, had no Irish name, then why would one be ascribed to it using your template? That would simply be inventing an etymology. But if the name of the town was derived from Irish, why would using the original template cause offence? I will read your reply again to see if I'm missing a nuance. — O'Dea (talk) 00:18, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

The question not whether there is an Irish-language name for, say, Strabane. The question relates to the status of Irish in Northern Ireland. In the Republic of Ireland, as you know, Irish is an official language. In Northern Ireland it is not.

The approach taken was, where a place name was derived from Irish (most places), we would give the Irish as "derived from" in the first sentence. Otherwise, we would give the Irish-language name in the body of the article. See the more detailed guide in the manual of style. --Tóraí (talk) 09:22, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Garda controversy talk page

Your contribution to Talk:2014 Garda Síochána controversy today was a great deal less confrontational than your previous one, and for that I thank you. Nevertheless, I'm going to withdraw from the discussion. I wasn't all that committed in the first place. I offered an opinion on WT:IE that the articles ought to be merged, then found I had been given the job. You clearly know how you want to proceed, so I'll leave you a clear field. Good luck. Scolaire (talk) 15:14, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Scolaire, I don't really know how I want to proceed. I don't have any design. (And if I ever come across as confrontational to you, I don't mean to. We butt heads but otherwise I've also considered you a good colleague.)

I think you're right that there is potential for a controversies article. I would worry that it could be a bit OR-ish because I think there's few sources that treat the controversies as one. But, the 2014 resignation of the Minister for Justice and Garda Commissioner was significant.

I also think you are spot on to merge the whistle blowers bios in a single article. And you are right that the Guerin Report did not include Wilson, so it is not an suitable page for a merge (contrary to what I initially suggested).

So, don't leave me a clear field. I think we often tease out complex situations through our "confrontations". --Tóraí (talk) 18:56, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

I was trying to tell you in as nice a way as possible that I found your initial post unpleasant in the extreme. The fact that you talk about "coming across" as confrontational rather than being confrontational shows that you are not aware of just how unpleasant your posts can be. I can't be on the same talk page as you, it's as simple as that. Whatever you do, I'm not going to visit that page again. I'm glad if you found my response useful, but I have nothing more to add, and I have completely lost interest in the subject. Scolaire (talk) 21:31, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

@Scolaire: Was it this post you found unpleasant in the extreme? Or another one? Genuinely, I want to know so that I can improve the way I come across/am. --Tóraí (talk) 09:27, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

That one, with all its shouty bolds, including "delete this article", but also this one, which angrily puts down an opinion of mine, after I have retracted it and said that I am happy to see the article kept. This one was not particularly conciliatory either. The general impression created by all the posts is of annoyance at an ignorant and disruptive editor, who has to have things spelled out to him like a ten-year-old child. While I'm here, you said some things to me above, like "I think you're right that there is potential for a controversies article" and "I also think you are spot on to merge the whistle blowers bios in a single article. And you are right that the Guerin Report did not include Wilson, so it is not an suitable page for a merge (contrary to what I initially suggested)." This should have been posted on the article talk page, for the benefit of the participants, and to go some way towards correcting the negative picture you painted of me. Instead it looks as though I'm standing in the corner wearing my dunce's hat. Scolaire (talk) 10:22, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

@Scolaire:

That one, with all its shouty bolds, including "delete this article", ...

The reason for all the bolds was because I didn't simply oppose the merger. I opposed some of it. Supported other parts of it. And then proposed to delete another article. We do normally bold !votes midsentence. That's all that was. No offence intended.

...angrily puts down an opinion of mine, after I have retracted it and said that I am happy to see the article kept.

OK. Fair enough. I should have acknowledged that you had already retracted it. What I had intended to convey was that, irrespective of whether the articles were to be merged or not, if you don't think the subject of any of these articles is notable then you could submit it for AfD.

In any case, no offence intended. I decided not to reply to your response because I could see my comment was being taken up aggressively and I didn't want to give heat to an angry discussion.

This should have been posted on the article talk page, for the benefit of the participants, ...

I agree. When I replied above I weighed up the possibility of moving this entire conversation to the talk page for that reason but I decided not to until we had worked out our (personal?) differences here. I would be glad to move them into a more public light now? Or make another post to the same effect?

... the negative picture you painted of me. ... it looks as though I'm standing in the corner wearing my dunce's hat.

I hope I have not painted a negative picture of you. And I don't think I have. That's never the impression I have of you and I don't believe anyone else has that impression of you either.

I am very sorry that I made you think that's how I or anyone would perceive you. And I would be very happy to post the comment above (about how you are right) to the talk page to underline that. --Tóraí (talk) 10:57, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

You have to understand that I am not concerned with "what you wanted to convey". I am concerned only with how you attempted to convey it whatever it was you did want to convey, and its effect on me, which was quite literally to ruin my entire day. You asked me to clarify what my problem was because "genuinely, you wanted to know so that you could improve the way you come across/are." If you then try to explain or excuse what you said, why you bolded etc., it defeats the whole purpose. If you genuinely want to improve the way you come across, have a read of this vote and this one to see how other people supported some parts of it and opposed other parts without criticising, and without coming across as confrontational. And in particular have a careful read of this post, where the poster acknowledged my point of view, then patiently and tactfully explained why his view was different from mine, without ever criticising mine. The result was that I immediately and unhesitatingly agreed with him and changed my stance. Then compare it with yours: regardless of your intention, it was insulting to tell a user of long standing that they can submit an article for AfD, especially when I had already specifically said that I intended to do so.

Yes, I would like you to copy all of your positive comments from here to the appropriate place on the article talk page. There is no need to copy anything else. I would also like you to refactor your vote: (a) to make it look more reasonable and (b) to take account of the fact that you are no longer convinced the article should be deleted. You might also consider striking the "submit those articles for AfD" comment, as it adds nothing to the discussion in my view. Don't bother to reply to this. I have no more desire to keep up an argument with you here than to keep up the argument there. Scolaire (talk) 15:57, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

"I am concerned only with how you attempted to convey it..." And my point is that that is not how I attempted to convey it. TBH Scolaire, you could take some of your own advice and assume good faith.

I'll post a comment on the talk making clear where we agree. --Tóraí (talk) 16:29, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

I meant to remove the template but looks like I only removed part of it. Fixed now. Thanks, --Tóraí (talk) 12:16, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
