Welcome to Wikipedia


Hello, Donnchadh, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world. To date we have over four million articles in a host of languages. The English language Wikipedia alone has over one million articles! But we still need more! Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

Also, I left a short reply to your comment about the Sinn Féin article at Talk:Sinn Féin, and you are welcome to continue the discussion if you feel it necessary. --Kwekubo 13:45, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Republican Sinn Féin. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you! Please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for your political views.

  • Please read WP:NPOV and stop inserting the RSF POV interpretation of the 1986 ard-fheis into the Republican Sinn Féin article. Wikipedia is not in the business of pushing one side over the other; in controversial cases like this, we present the facts and allow the reader to make their own mind up.

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for disrupting Wikipedia by making personal attacks. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. FearÉIREANN\

You might want to look at British Isles. A group of individuals are trying to push the myth that there is nothing wrong with the term, no-one is offended by it and any Irish people who are don't realise that it is a geographic term with no political implications or presumptions.

That was a terrible edit you made. You undid lots of stylistic and formatting improvements I had made. You changed 'She was the first woman to do so' to 'She was the first women to do so', for example. Please be more careful. Thanks. --John 13:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I see you repeated your bad edit. Another user has since reverted to the better version. Please remember we are here to make the encyclopedia better and not worse. If there are concerns about POV as you seem to think then the best way to address them is to discuss civilly in talk. --John 14:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on EvidenceLink, by Precious Roy (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because EvidenceLink provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting EvidenceLink, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 14:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have no idea what your talking about--Donnchadh 17:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
