Disambiguation link notification for October 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kinelarty, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Norman, Ballynahinch and Iveagh (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Cut and paste page move of Iveagh (territory)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Iveagh (territory) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Iveagh. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. • Gene93k (talk) 15:08, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Wee Curry Monster talk 15:21, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

POV edits

Yourself and Dubsboy have been angling edits to use ROI in the infobox and article, either list states or regions not both (US=UK=Canada=Ireland). Will bring it up at IMOS when I get more time bud. Murry1975 (talk) 16:19, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Well bud the only one being a POV editor here is yourself. Maybe you haven't noticed but there was a discussion on the issue which involved the input of an administrator well versed in IMOS (Canterbury Tail), and here is what he had to say on it and your so called "angling". Raise the issue at IMOS all you want, Northern Ireland was in the article already before Dubs boy even touched it, and neither of you noticed the far more obvious problems in the article such as overlinking and the fact it stated Monaghan was in the UK!

WP:IDONTLIKE? Mabuska ^(talk) 20:33, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Maybe your first edit at the article could be considered angling by removing Northern Ireland en masse from the article despite the fact we do use constituent country more often than the state itself in regards to E/NI/S/W and UK. The richness of it all. In fact just looking, it appears in that edit you failed to notice that Castleblayney, Monaghan, and Letterkenny aren't in the UK whilst changing Northern Ireland to UK for their entries. Maybe as Brough said on your talk page - your bordering, or maybe the phrase should be concentrating more, on activism rather than making beneficial edits to Wikipedia.

A reference problem

Hi! Some users have been working hard on Category:Pages with broken reference names.

Here you added new references but didn't define it. This has been showing as an error at the bottom of the article. Cite error: The named reference was invoked but never defined. Can you take a look and work out what you were trying to do? Thanks -- Frze ^{> talk} 12:46, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Well done. --Frze ^{> talk} 12:49, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

I tend to add citation tags to insertions and then add the actual reference into the references section after I've saved the edit to the body of the article. Mabuska ^(talk) 13:03, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
