As a conscientious editor ...
As a conscientious editor concerned to improve Wikipedia, you might like to signify your assent to participate in Community Enforced Mediation by signing up Here - especially as you're one of the Saints rather than sinners and without some knowledgeable, level headed editors like yourself it may be doomed to failure...Gaimhreadhan(kiwiexile at DMOZ) • 21:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Bastun. I am trying to keep out of a certain editor's way as much as possible to protect what remains of my sanity, but as you were involved in the discussion above I'd be interested in your take on the usage "X was a Member/Volunteer..." which seems to have crept into a few articles. I would propose that the form volunteer would be more in keeping with the MedCab resolution (as I read it) and also with our MoS. Finally, I'd be interested in your take on this edit; my understanding obviously differs from that of this user's. It may seem like a fairly trivial stylistic matter, but I think it's a shame to go through all the good work that seems to have been done in MedCab only to have the result (apparently) misrepresented like this. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, --John 23:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- The cabal consensus decision was pretty unambiguous - lower case 'v' (with a piped link as you suggest being absolutely fine. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 23:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- That is what is refered to as incorrect. p.s. why would you ask Bastun?--Vintagekits 23:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Seeing as I took part in the debate, why wouldn't he ask me? Can I remind you of the decision?
- Where the initial definition occurs in the lead section, it should firstly be stated that a person is a member of the IRA. The term volunteer should then normally be mentioned. Lower case "v" should be used for the time being. In the main text of an article the word, volunteer, is free to be used, but this has to be judged in each particular instance to achieve maximum sense and good style. It should not be used rigidly and other terms such as "IRA member" can also be used or any other appropriate reference. Different terms can be interspersed, and may vary from article to article. Please do not modify it. Shyam (T/C) 11:46, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's pretty clear. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 23:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- "Lower case "v" should be used for the time being" - clear as day!--Vintagekits 23:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Seeing as I took part in the debate, why wouldn't he ask me? Can I remind you of the decision?
- Indeed. The time being hasn't been finished, or finalised, or overturned by consensus. So lower case 'v' it is. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 23:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Actually thats incorrect - you cab go to the talk page it you want to change that.--Vintagekits 23:58, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed. The time being hasn't been finished, or finalised, or overturned by consensus. So lower case 'v' it is. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 23:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

This puts Vk in the clear for his usage of V since on that article - no one responded to his final statement in that talk page section.

- Why was Gold's edit reverted. I'm I gold too? Now there were five editors material removed and golds makes six, are they all me? Why is that not reverted? Why request a bolck with thoses editors material removed? --Domer48 18:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't revert anyone, so no point asking me :P As regards the "5 editors", that's stretching things a bit - I think some of them were minor enough edits, e.g., correcting typos? Its common practice to request a block when an edit war is underway (and indeed, more grounds for it with the ArbCom case). Which version is the one that gets locked is irrelevant (as is made clear by the template that gets put on the page). As far as I understand it, it'll be whatever one is there when/if an admin locks it, but that has no bearing on which is the "proper" one - that gets debated on the Talk page and consensus rules.

RE. Blatantly Incorrect edit summary
Having received an explanation on the background to my first edit from User:sony-youth I have recognised where all the suspicion and accusations have come from but I just thought I should point out to you that in my eagerness to edit a page successfully, I took my time and copied and pasted the introduction from the page and essentially tinkered with the formatting, my contribution and previewed endlessly, several days in fact, before I posted my edit and was totally unaware that the page had moved on from what it had been when I started. As User:sony-youth pointed out to me in the above explanation I had reverted to a version of the page editted by User:Domer48 and so I have concluded through searching the history of the article that the version of the page I was working from was possibly this one and considering that from my view it is evident that I merely added some 400 bytes nowhere near the 70kb you suggested. However I can totally see how from your view the changes were substantial. Therefore I accept your view that my summary appeared incorrect, however I would also like you to accept that from my perspective it was a small contribution and my edit summary was in no way intended to deceive or misinform anyone on WP and please take WP:NEWBIES into consideration. Kind regards --Pappin76 04:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC) PS besides the confusion was there anything else wrong with my edit any advice on my contribution would be welcome
- Hi Pappin. Ah, that clears up a lot. As Sony has explained on your talk page and as you state above, you can see where we reached the conclusions we did. Apologies if my section heading 'Blatantly incorrect edit summary' came off as harsh or offensive, but I was going by the difference between the preceding entry and yours. I hope this "welcome" hasn't put you off Wikipedia and look forward to collaborating in the future. Regards, BastunBaStun not BaTsun 15:00, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding the term County Londonderry after the listing of the city of Derry, like Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham etc the count of a city is very listed after the city name in articles. Not only that you are adding oxygen to fire that is the Derry/Londonderry naming dispute. Currently there is little/no argument over this issue amongest established editors please edit within the consensus or establish a new one.--Vintagekits 09:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- None of Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow, or Birmingham are border towns. As with all other settlements listed in that section of the article, Derry has always had its county listed - you seem to be the only objector. As regards the Derry/Londonderry naming dispute, the WP:IMOS is quite clear - Derry for the city, Londonderry for the county. Regards, BastunBaStun not BaTsun 10:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- You are edit warring and I am pretty damn sick of it to be honest. THe name of the city Derry is never followed by its county - you are dirupting wiki by adding Londonderry and know it will wind up other editors. Derry is NEVER followed by its county name just like all other main cities. Please self revert and stop edit warring against MOS and consensus.--Vintagekits 10:52, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hardly. It was there for months with no objection (apart from yourself). Not aware of that part of the MOS. Linky? As for the rest of it - the appropriate place to discuss it is the article's talk page, not here. Regards, BastunBaStun not BaTsun 11:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Famine Links
Doing this, I still prefer Great Famine (1845-1849). I think it's truer to the most used name. Is your take on this similar? GH 10:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Gold. Hmm, yes - I think its better than 'Great Irish Famine' (although IIRC that's what I voted for at the time). Hindsight is great :-) If you're proposing a move, I'd support it. Regards, BastunBaStun not BaTsun 10:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Stargate Horizon
Hi. As you might gather, I personally could care less about the article. However, I'd like to encourage you not to "bite the newbie" since the user seems to be working on it in good faith and with serious wikifying effort. I don't know much about (or really want to!) fan fiction, but it is a category. Maybe you could explain to the user about the notability criteria for that category? Take care. HG | Talk 14:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Aye - wouldn't be too bothered about the article either if it was actually clear that its fanfic, and wasn't leading to articles like "Ascendant Empire", which give no clue at all. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 14:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Clarity
You're a star, Bastun! I laughed so much that my drips pulled out!
May I nick this as my standard riposte in future:
Sorry, Brixton, I'm confused. When you say they became the IRA instead of being the Provisional IRA - does that mean they became the Official IRA? Or is there a group out there calling itself "The IRA (accept no substitutes!)"? Do you mean the
- IRA? Or the
- IRA? Or the
- IRA? Or the
- IRA? Or the
- IRA? Or the
- IRA?
- Army of the Republic of Ireland? (And let's not even go near the Irish names and/or translations of all of the above).
Conclusion: Disambiguation and accuracy are good things. Moral: Always look on the bright side of life.

- As this shows, you have a history of removing maintenance tags without addressing the reason for them being added, and making false accusations in the process. I strongly suggest you follow policy in future. Brixton Busters 23:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Likewise. You honestly don't remember the criticism at the time?! Or is it that any negativity towards Adams and the PIRA must be countered/removed? BastunBaStun not BaTsun 00:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I simply ask that it be sourced properly according to Wikipedia policy, something you have failed to do so far. Whether I remember something or not is neither here nor there, my own memory is not a verifiable source is it? Brixton Busters 00:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Bastun that he was criticised (as well as praised) for carrying the coffin, and also I personally know a lot of information that could/should be put into wiki but that would be WP:OR therfore, it is not an unreasonable request that we do not engage in WP:OR and a source is provided to prove it. --Vintagekits 18:59, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Bastun: I read comments that you made on the International adoption article talk page. You stated there that Ukraine has stopped international adoption. You provided a link to a report, but that report link no longer works. What did you base this upon.

Baldoyle
Could you please direct me to the Wiki policy that supports your comment So request citation, don't delete first when you reverted my removal of unreferenced suspect text? (Sarah777 23:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC))
- Thanks. "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." That's exactly what I thought. Do you have some evidence? Regards (Sarah777 07:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC))
- Will look for some. Adding the "cn" tag alerts people who have the article on their watchlist that an editor is looking for a fact check and gives them an opportunity to find a citation. Better than simply removing the material without warning. If none has been provided within a couple of weeks (or when a bot slaps on a maintenance date and it therefore pops up on your watchlist again), that's when you remove it. (As it happens, in this case, there probably is very little to be found as noone has been convicted of the Garda's murder and there are all sorts of unverifiable conspiracy theories floating about - but at least people have a chance to find a citation if there is one). BastunBaStun not BaTsun 09:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- There's 20+ pages on the whole saga in Gunrunners by Sean Boyne, but no mention of Baldoyle. A man from Finglas was extradited from the UK and acquitted, and two men (origins unknown) were also acquitted in 1972 but convicted of firearms possession. Did a quick online search for their names and can't find anything to connect them to Baldoyle. One Night In Hackney303 11:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Me neither (and Sarah, that means I'll be happy to delete that paragraph myself in a week or so) - but maybe whoever added it originally will see the 'cn' and can put one up. Or not. :P BastunBaStun not BaTsun 13:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the reason I deleted it on sight was that I strongly suspected it was some sort of "response" to the storey of the escapees helicopter landing in Baldoyle. Even if it turns out to be true it needs to be given a different context as the two events are unrelated. Maybe the alleged Republicans could be included as 'Notable residents'. If they aren't notable, after all, then they shouldn't be mentioned. I guess I can wait a few weeks to make them either notable or gone! (Sarah777 19:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC))
Great Irish Genocide?
Bastun, as you advised me on an identical issue re Baldoyle I noticed this revert in the Great Irish Famine article: 02:04, September 22, 2007 Abtract (Talk | contribs) (61,373 bytes) (I think we might need a citation for Irish Genocide) Based of your advise (and actions) Abstract's revert should be promptly reverted and the proper course of action pointed out to him. I wonder if you'd do it as I prefer not to get involved in that article because some editors are rather sensitive to ever nuance of my contributions and read all manner of things into them. Thanks (Sarah777 01:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC))
Volunteer
You agreed to the consensus made on the 'Volunteer' mediation discussion earlier this year here. However, some editors believe that a new consensus has been established where "IRA volunteer" is used without the initial mention of "IRA member". Although no discussion has taken place, they feel that because articles were changed from the format of "IRA member (volunteer)" to simply "IRA volunteer" and were not subsequently reverted for several months (until noticed by myself and another user), that this therefore establishes it as the new consensus and that the mediation ruling is now defunct. You can see discussions of this here,here, here. As a party involved in this discussion previously, your commentis valuable, and so it would be apprreciated if you could make any comment you might have here if you have one. Regards.

Notification of page ban
Per the ruling of the Arbitration Committee at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Great Irish Famine#Mentorship, and my warning here (noted also in the article history here), you are banned from editing the article Great Irish Famine for a period of ten days, starting immediately. This is for reverting the page and continuing the edit war.
I implore you to take part in the discussion at Talk:Great Irish Famine, as if a resolution agreeable to all can be found, the page ban will be lifted by myself at my expressed order to do so. For the record, I have reverted your version back to the one of my warning, because the page is essentially "protected" on the issue of the lead titles. If this action wasn't taken, it would only force people to "take the hit" to revert the page, which isn't an acceptable situation.
This notification is given to enforce the ruling of the Arbitration Committee. Please note that you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia if you break the ten day ban. Thank you, Daniel 00:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

- I haven't got time for your nonsense - if you have evidence of breaches of OWN of NPOV please show them! Now back to the matter at hand, which is OR - have you got a reference to say that they were left there for forensic reason. Since we've gone through this Arbcom don't you think it is time everyone grew up and stopped being so childish. Provide a source within 24 hours or I am removing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vintagekits (talk • contribs) 14:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- ROFL! Take your own advice, Vk. And please do pay attention, Bond... it got removed a couple of days ago. By the way - why are you bringing this up here. Keep it to the article talk page, that's what its for. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 14:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- So have you a source or havent you? And why are you now removing sourced information to suit YOUR pov.--Vintagekits (talk) 14:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

- Its standard law enforcement procedure in most of the world to wait on forensics to arrive and photograph/preserve the scene, so hardly needs referencing. Irrelevant anyway, as its been owned.

A) Why on earth would I bother putting in a source for something that's no longer there? B) The statement as it exists now is NPOV. If you want the details on how long the bodies were there to be in the article, then find an unbiased source. APRN doesn't count. And also state why they were left there. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 16:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- a) The only reason is not there any longer is because you just removed it as well as removing other information which was referenced. b) APRN is a perfectly acceptable source - if you dont like it, then that is your problem. You are really starting to piss me off, which I know is your aim.--Vintagekits (talk) 16:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
