Recent extensive IP edits: intent, and copyright violations

Pinging 143.239.9.2, 212.129.76.115, 212.129.75.90, 212.129.75.237, 212.129.75.177, 212.129.79.181.

Could I ask the IP editors who have been contributing extensively to this article over the last couple of months to please engage here, and ideally explain what is their broad intent for the article? Some editors (e.g. CeltBrowne) are, like me, concerned that this article is focused far too much on history, but despite our trimming, more keeps getting added, in extensive detail. A lot of this content might be far more suitable for the separate History of the Labour Party in Ireland article, but it isn't WP:DUE for a general article about the modern, active, political party.

In addition to that concern, I also have concerns about copyright violations. Norton and his colleagues may well have been "perturbed about calumnies at home" (!), but that was originally written by Dr Niamh Puirséil, in 2008. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 12:24, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Need help!

I am adding democratic socialism to its ideologies from this cited page:  http://www.labour.ie/party/constitution.html

Unfortunately, I have messed up the page big time as it showed error and when I tried to remove it, it suddenly merged with political position.

Can you help me add this? Gratitude from 174.135.36.220 (talk) 04:28, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
