Spleodrach

New media

Hi, I have added the media to Phoenix Park article to focus on the deer-human interaction and to emphasize on the tameness of the deer there. Therefore I kindly ask you to revert your action please. Thanks... Ogün Eratalay ^message 06:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you're suggesting you intend to block me but you have again reverted or editted part of a previous edit by myself. I'm a patient person. Another editor said to me and I quote: "I don't know what to do about Spleodrach." Read into that what you will. Also you tend to ignore criticism and just get angry. I inserted a fact, repeat a fact, you claimed it was irrelevant. Its not, its a fact, facts are relevant as they add to information available such as an online encyclopedia. Deletion of them is silly. Your decision is your own interpretation and is potentially biased. Like a biased estimator in econometrics or statistics. Accordingly I won't accept you overruling/reverting me or inserting silly material like Kiss whether it refers to the former Rock bank etc without appealing to a higher authority. Kappish?

@Devite: A number of things, 1) I can't block you (nor do I want to), I'm not an admin. 2) You don't seem like a patient person given your recent interactions with other editors on Frank Aiken's page. 3) Another editor said to me and I quote: "I don't know what to do about Spleodrach." - Better to be talked about than not I suppose! 4) I do not ignore valid criticism and I never get angry. 5) Yes, the fact who chaired a local FF meeting is not relevant unless you were there or are a member of FF. 6) "Your decision is your own interpretation and is potentially biased. Like a biased estimator in econometrics or statistics." - Right back at you, when I make an edit its biased, when you make an edit, its not biased. I don't think so! 7) My KISS statement in the comment was a humourous aside, it means Keep It Short and Simple (or Sweet), and had nothing to do with a band. 8) No, I don't really "kappish" your rambling long winded statements.

Proposed deletion of Catherine McGuinness (disambiguation)

The article Catherine McGuinness (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Consensus vs facts

How can the same article say that County Dublin is no longer a legal county but also that it remains a county? Consensus cannot mean ‘in denial’ GAAEditorIE (talk) 19:49, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@GAAEditorIE: The issue has been discussed many times before but it you want to open a new discussion, please do so at WT:IE. Spleodrach (talk) 21:42, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

In addition to Spleodrach's point about discussions on WT:IE, I also refer you to the FAQ "What is the status of County Dublin?" heading on the Talk:County Dublin page. This issue has been discussed there at least 8 times and the current framing is what has been agreed. (ie that Dublin is a current cultural / colloquial county that retains limited official use rather than strictly being a former legal county). Jacobfrid (talk) 08:46, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
