Marty Morrissey

The news of the death of his mother is true. (https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/tributes-paid-after-mother-of-rte-presenter-marty-morrissey-dies-in-road-accident-41127765.html) But I doubt if that is relevant for his article. I know both personally, but not that well. The Banner talk 22:04, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Banner! I actually reverted that edit because the user changed the content but not the source. So in the edit in question, the IP user changed the content from "Morrissey has been in a relationship with his girlfriend since 1995" to "Morrissey’s mother Peggy suddenly died in a car crash in December 2021 in county Clare" however they left the source unchanged. However, if you want to add the news of his mother's passing and provide the source you just gave me as an inline citation, I don't necessarily see anything wrong with it. --My Pants Metal (talk) 15:11, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
I agree with your removal of this unsourced, misplaced text. But it was quite a shock to read Peggy's death here on Wikipedia, before it was announced in the media. I am still contemplating if it is a good idea to add it. Due to my "COI" I do not want to decide that on my own. The Banner talk 20:54, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Kevin McColley

Hi. I just saw your nomination for speedy deletion for my article Kevin McColley. Just wanted to let you know that had I had time to respond, I would have pointed out that my article had been up for several years and that Kevin's site is pretty new. I wrote the copy. Kevin took a copy and used it for his site with my permission. In the future, you might give people a little more time to respond.

A vague automated response is the best you could come up with?

Truth is you have no actual reason to have undone my edit, which is rooted in reality. How about you try doing that for a change. "Fatally shot" is the most ridiculous and offensive euphamism for murder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.47.199.162 (talk) 15:46, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

@41.47.199.162: I've left you a message on your own talk page, but I actually did have valid reason to undo your edit. See the flowchart at WP:MURDERS. --My Pants Metal (talk) 15:00, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
You can't ping IP addresses. See WP:PING. Doug Weller talk 17:05, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
Although as you left a message at their talk page, you might know that. Doug Weller talk 17:06, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
Did not know IP's couldn't be pinged. Good to know! --My Pants Metal (talk) 01:39, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Ratray editor

That ip editor that you left a note for is doing the same edit every day after people restore/fix what he does. He always uses an ip from Croatia . I requested for them to block him and require log in for editing on the admin board. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1000:B10C:3CA8:E539:6CC1:7AA:EB94 (talk) 20:10, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, I didn't know this was a persistent problem. I appreciate the heads-up! --My Pants Metal (talk) 01:39, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
