Hi! While I'm not going to make an issue of it, the question of commas before "and" in a list is apparently an open one--more favored in the US than in England, but not unanimously agreed on on either side. I see that from the article here, Serial comma. I tend to favor it, especially in long and more complicated lists. There are situations where one item in a list will in fact have two parts joined by "and." Using a comma before "and," where that is not the case, can reduce ambiguity.

Can you explain your in depth knowledge of Ireland and its counties? and why you refute the de facto countrywide usage of what is known as the "county colours" both in my county where they are flown alongside the Ireland and European flag and for example here as you can see outside government buildings in Dublin castle

The flags shown in the image which itself is a reference, have the arms of the county on top of the the de facto "county colours" which is also how the flags are used, which outlines to an even greater extent the correlation, again i must stress this is outside dublin castle an official government of Ireland building I assume you are not contending to be a higher authority and this usage is replicated across the country in many instances. As I'm sure you know being de facto they will not be cited in official documents etc or simple google searches and so the best sources are the images showing their use in context.

Thanks for blocking the Non- Admin Users from the Page. The edits were removal of non constructive comments which have nothing to do with the article. Kindly consider reviewing the edits made by shashifakram. Comments by Abdus Salaam have nothing to do with the article. It affects the NPOV of the article. The second edit about Abdus Salaam is essential as he has been declared a non Muslim by Legal System in Pakistan. He is a non Muslim and an Ahmaddiya. He should not even be on the list considering the views of the Muslim Communities on Ahmaddiya. However since he considered himself a Muslim thus adding a single word Ahmaddiya is not wrong.

The image you're claiming is a misrepresentation is from a page called "Derry IRA Patrol & Weapons". It purports to show the IRA in various guises. The UDR did not carry the Thompson submachine gun. I suggest you leave the image alone on the page, especially as it's Troubles page and restricted to 1RR. Start a discussion on the image talk page and it can be resolved there but don't go round accusing me of misrepresentation. You can examine all the images of mine you want to - you won't find anything wrong. a little bit of WP:GOODFAITH might go a long way in your case.

Dear 'Canterbury Tail',
Thank you for the comments you added to the subject article yesterday, and for adding the 'Cleanup' tag at its head.
I have now removed all the editorial comments (i.e. "[To be expanded later]") I had inserted into the original article a few days ago. I fully agree with you that I shouldn't have done that (I even thought about *not* doing it while I was doing it!) but they helped me add structure at the time, and with planning later changes. In any case, I have removed them all today and also polished the existing 'text stubs' to make them more legible for now; I intend to improve on these over the next few days and weeks. Thank you for pointing this out; it was an easy improvement for me to apply, and I obviously wish to remain a good citizen of WP. ;-)
Your comment about the amount of detail I added to the article has caused me to reflect on my approach as a contributor. You will obviously have noticed that my goal is to inform the readers about the professional career of this musician without writing a biography (note the absence of sections on 'Personal life' and the like). So, the article essentially consists of a chronological list of his projects and main career events, which can of course be quite dry (boring?) unless one is interested in the subject. So, his career being such a long one, I decided to make the text more accessible by creating a sub-section for each decade, and then breaking each of these down further with a paragraph on each major career event or milestone. Inevitably, the article therefore reads like a long list of projects, most of which were either tours or recordings. For the latter, I supply the list of personnel and briefly discuss each track, along with details either on the genesis or content of the track, or on the instrument(s) used. As you noticed, I have made extensive use of 'wikilinks' to enrich the reader's experience with easy access to other parts of the encyclopedia (one of WP's most wonderfully didactic features, by the way).
If I were to remove some of the details I included, then I feel this would impoverish the encyclopedia. For example, I aim to anticipate the reader's potential questions about a given topic, such as: "Why and in what ways is Bulgarian traditional music important to Andy Irvine? What's special about Bulgarian traditional music? I want to learn more about it and understand it better."
So, please would you be kind enough to give me a few examples of what you viewed as "too much detail" and, also, "impenetrable walls of text"? That would help me understand in what ways you think the article should look and how I could improve it further. Perhaps I might also suggest that a reader motivated to find out more about this musician by consulting WP, say, after attending one of his concerts, might expect to find the informative details I have supplied, and most likely enjoy reading about them more that an expert editor such as yourself, who would justifiably view the content simply as text to be reviewed for its conformity to editorial rules. (And I certainly don't mean to imply that I challenge either the value of editorial rules, or the need for editors to enforce them.)
Thank you also for altering my use of 'Derry' (which was mentioned as such in the original source) into 'Londonderry', and I note your mission to contribute to the clarity of references to geographical locations. Would you agree that the combined 'Derry/Londonderry' has emerged as the norm in recent years, certainly in the media? If so, would you agree that I update the article accordingly? Thank you for your consideration and response, at your convenience.
Finally, by "comments in the open text", did you mean the quotations I corroborated with references to reliable, third party sources? In the case of the section on 'Woody Guthrie influences', for example, I quoted Irvine's words from the original article in Frets #73 because I thought the use of his own 'voice' would add vivacity to the WP article. There are more quotes later, again because I felt they add life to the text while also conforming to the need for as many reliable citations as possible. These quotations are there because they add valuable information to the reader about why certain events happened, or why the individual(s) concerned made certain decisions.
Thank you once again for your helpful assistance; I appreciate your constructive comments. With kind regards; Patrick. Pdebee (talk) 16:37, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CanterburyTail, I was led to believe by Murry1975 that he would raise an RFC on the issue. This is the reason why I allowed the RFC I had raised to be closed. If the template says "official_name", should that field not then be populated with the official name "Londonderry", after all the text does say "officially Londonderry". This being the case, do I need consensus to make a change that is already in the body of the text and inline with the infobox template? If you have an issue with the infobox template you should really take you issue up somewhere else other than the Derry page. This is an infobox issue, not a content issue.Dubs boy (talk) 15:57, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! It's regarding the Sheila Carter article. I did not write most of it but recently made a few changes and corrections. If you take a look at other Wikipedia soap opera character articles, you'll see that they too have very few sources in their storyline sections. This is because it's articles written by viewers and fans who viewed the show on TV (or online) and then described what they saw.
These links, http://www.soapcentral.com/yr/whoswho/sheila.php & http://www.soapcentral.com/yr/whoswho/daisy.php , resume most everything you see on the Wiki Sheila article. This link, http://tvmegasite.net/transcripts/yr/older/ , an this link, http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_young_and_the_restless/episodes/ , also resume storylines. What else can be used than these links?

Canterbury Tail, I noticed that you reverted a recent edit to the Yebira article, I tried to revert your edit but as you can see I am not very experienced at such things, sorry for messing things up. Can you take a look at the edits you reverted again? In the process you removed a good image, an image gallery, a template that added the article to other related articles, and an external image link to a pinterest site with related images. I am thinking that you reverted the edits due to the external link, if that is so then why revert all of the other edits which are a vast improvement to the article? I can not see what the problem is with the external link, it is not a commercial site as far as I can see but even if it is not appropriate the other edits should be re-added to the article.

Regarding these two accounts, User:Epicfailure 2 is also a alternate account of Epicgenius. It made a couple of hundred edits today, block evasion on a massive scale:
Here are the diffs showing that the accounts are connected:
Epicfailure 2 requesting rollback, and claiming to be Epicgenius: [3]
Epicgenius confirming that they are the same person: [4];
Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:45, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As part of his latest unblock request, Epicgenius said that he would no longer edit articles that I edited, however at least one of the articles he edited today as Epicfailure 2 (i haven;t looked through them all) was Beate Sirota Gordon, an article I've edited heavily (most contributions by number) and which Epicgenius has never been to. I find it hard to believe that Epicgenius-as-Epicfailure 2 just happened to go to that article randomly, independent of it being an article I've worked on in the past.
I don't think that Epicgenius can be trusted to keep his word. This latest brouhaha started because we made an agreement that we would talk civiliy to each other, I would explain on his talk page when I reverted his edits why I had done so, and he would stop making edits against the consensus reached on the Bowery article. He broke that when he used AWB to make 30+ edits involving "the Bowery". When I reverted his non-consensus edits, he reverted back, thus breaking another part of our agreement, which was no unthinking reverts on his part. I just don't think he's mature enough to make and keep an agreement that goes against what he really wants to do. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:00, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In this edit-sum you note that we shouldn't refer to "Causeway Coast" because the "Causeway Coast" is a large area outside the scope of the article. Per the UNESCO definition and scope, the "Causeway Coast" is only the 70 hectares surrounding the causeway formation itself - which pretty much just covers the visitor centre, and the paths to and slightly beyond the "hub" of the causeway formation. This would seem to be well within the scope of the article (consider for example the access, flora and fauna content). The "Causeway Coast" isn't the entire stretch of coast including half of Antrim, Bushmills or anything like it (UNESCO isn't "protecting" the farms and the like around the area - just the several hundred metres by several hundred metres around the site). So, I don't really see that excising "Coast" because it's outside the scope of the article is strictly a valid argument. (In fact, I would point out that the infobox has referred to the UNESCO name for nearly 7 years, and that has seemed reasonable/appropriate to editors in all that time.) I am not saying that because it's been that way for 7 years, it should stay that way. But I'm saying that the argument provided for now removing it doesn't seem correct to me. You reverted my "tweak" (of the immediately preceding edit - which had no edit sum or explanation) on "Good Faith" grounds. Implying that I had made a mistake in restoring the UNESCO name. I wonder whether you might want to reconsider whether it was actually the previous edit that was actually the "Good Faith" error? Guliolopez (talk) 00:36, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I've been meaning to update my user profile to let people know where the majority of my information comes from. Landmarks of Toronto was a book written by John Ross Robertson, his collection of illustrations of Old Toronto forms the richest single graphic historical resource of any city in Canada. As a historical record, Robertson’s Landmark of Toronto remain unrivalled for the period they cover. However, most of the information is inaccessible and not many people have taken the time to digitize the information.
When I studied that the University of Toronto one of my professors got us involved with a Wikipedia pilot project where we would create pages that had to do with Canadian newspapers. They explained that a lot of the pages on Canadian history are lacking and many articles are stubs. So a lot of this information in this book is augmenting popular information with the details that are difficult to access. I've contributed a lot and all the information is accurate and relevant. Sorry about the issue with external links, that was my misunderstanding. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

Hi there! I just undid your undoing of my edit, and I wanted to more thoroughly explain myself here. It's impossible to tell if Burke was killed in the scene in question. He opens a door, a xenomorph is there, he looks terrified, it hisses and lunges. This is all we see. As he never returns, it's safe to say he was either killed or captured. The xenomorphs explicitly do not kill their prey if possible; they return them to the nest for embryo implantation. Knowing that - and in the interests of not introducing too many details to this section of the plot - I personally prefer the sentence as it stands now. I'm open to other suggestions, though; what do you think?
I will also point out that the IP who introduced the 'Burke is killed' edit also introduced several grammatical errors that we'll need to correct, if we agree on their statement. NekoKatsun (talk) 21:03, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Canterbury Tail, here to further explain, Marc W. Miller edit. The article's flaw was that Miller quit GDW in 1991 and was not employed there at the time the business ceased operations in 1996. Thus, Miller quote is simply conjecture which makes Polymancer article hearsay. In this case, the reference is not of a credible source. Further, the interview relative to GDW could be considered a self-published source which is frowned upon. Edit also gives proper credit to fellow GDW designers regarding the Traveller project as noted with appropriate citation of Shannon Appelcline, namely; Chadwick, Harshman, and Wiseman. Edit also removed peacock terms consistent with previous edits by fellow contributors to Loren Wiseman article. Traveller-Onlooker (talk) 01:36, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The source for the theft of ideas from Babylon 5 is right above the paragraph I wrote. J. Michael Straczynski gave the Babylon 5 show bible (along with 22 story ideas) to Paramount when he tried to sell Babylon 5 to them. The fact that a number of those characters, arcs, ideas showed up in Deep Space Nine is no coincidence due to, "The zeitgeist of the time." Paramount had all of this information a couple years before they created Deep Space Nine. I just listed which characters and concepts they took from that information and used in Deep Space Nine. But the source is the paragraph above the one where those similarities were detailed. B5Erik (talk) 14:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Canterbury Tail. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

You list on your user page that one of your current projects is to remove the apostrophe from decades references (e.g. 1920's => 1920s). Wouldn't this be a job for a bot? If you don't have the programming skill to create the bot, there's likely a forum to request someone to create it. You shouldn't waste your own valuable editing time on such chores.

Hi Canterbury Tail.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(conversation about an article edits moved to appropriate article talk page, Talk:Harbledown.)
Thank you for your decisive handling of Twobells recent edit warring. He's been an annoying drip of water-style edit warrior on a number of television articles that are U.S./UK co-productions for some time, and a frustration to several of we editors who are attempting to move with the times and represent how these multi-national collaborative productions work. Sadly, he was so drive by nationalism that he couldn't see past it. Several of us tried to help him understand how consensus, reliable sources, verifiability and edit warring worked, but to no avail. So it was refreshing, and heartening, to see you step back, look at the big picture with him, and act accordingly. It will cut down the tension and hassle where these co-productions are concerned. --Drmargi (talk) 20:48, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I see that my edit reflecting the fact that the deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland Martin McGuinness has resigned from his post was reverted by you on the basis that you had seen no evidence that the First Minister was also no longer in post.
I would point you to two sources regarding the position of Arlene Foster.
(2) If either the First Minister or the deputy First Minister ceases to hold office at any time, whether by resignation or otherwise, the other— (a) shall also cease to hold office at that time; but (b) may continue to exercise the functions of his office until immediately before those offices are filled in accordance with this section.
(2) If either the First Minister or the deputy First Minister ceases to hold office at any time, whether by resignation or otherwise, the other—
Once Martin McGuinness' resignation takes effect, under the joint protocols that govern Stormont's power sharing government, First Minister Arlene Foster also loses her office.
The entire premise behind the Office of First and Deputy First Minister is that one cannot exist without the other.
The article has since been corrected by another user but I would like you to be aware of the facts regarding this issue.
I started a discussion: Talk:Firefly (TV series)#Re-evaluating FA status. I invite you there to discuss how to improve the article. --George Ho (talk) 04:27, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that while the page I was attempting to add to wikipedia may not have sufficiently complied with the guidelines I do resent being told that I an vandalizing a public knowledge base when I am merely attempting to contribute to the content. The subject matter in question is not for my own promotion but merely because there already other references to the particular subject within wikipedia: Actor model, Algebraic data type and I felt that it was an omission to not at least have simple explanation page with references to some of the key publications (interviews and academic papers).

Hi Canterbury. Can I ask you to semi-protect the Lisburn and Hillsborough, County Down articles. An IP is edit-warring being vehemently opposed to the Irish form of the names being in the infoboxes despite IMOS and facts and despite another editor engaging discussion to which the IP has ignored including a full response on the issue at the Hillsborough talk page by myself and a warning on their own talk page.
I would suggest sanctioning the IP but they are now using a different IP at Lisburn, so semi-protection from IP editing might be best. Either that or temp block both IPs as the edit summaries make it very easy to see that they are the same person. Mabuska (talk) 23:36, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would support this. I am the editor who has been seeking to engage discussion, I did this in two stages: By asking the user not to revert my edit without discussion, putting this in my edit summary. Then when they edited without the asked for discussion sending a formal request to discuss in each case. Not only is there no response to these formal, first, reqiests, but an edit by another editor has now been reverted without paying any attention to my formal request to discuss. Moreover they are now editing under two different IP addresses. I have asked them to register themselves, which disposes of a possible sock puppetry issue, and to enter into discussion. So I agree with Mabuska that protection from ip editing should be introduced as that would at least require them to register.

Hi - the name "Eduardo Gaff" for Edward James Olmos' Blade Runner character has mainly been circling around fansites, and I'm not sure if it's in any official documentation for the film. However, I did find an article (https://moviepilot.com/p/blade-runner-2049-theory-deckard-is-a-replicant-with-graff-memories/4199141) that extensively refers to him with the first name Eduardo.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ben W Bell Choya 05 June 2007.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 13:12, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have writen libel remarks on edits to the Vermilion College page and accused the page/editors of marketing throught is page. However by definitiona and guidlines your edits have reverted to articles that provided false information. After it was apparent this was going to become an edit war, the page was redesigned following the general WIKI guidelines for colleges. However instead of examining the page, the page was incorrectly tagged and the editor suffered libel remarks based on this tag. Provide sited information, or specific examples before mass edits and remove all site tags accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by T.bennett54729 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For an editor to go directly from a minor content dispute, a comment on an ANI case and irritable interaction on the talk page of an editor, to directly edit an article about that editor? BLP policy basically says that you should't pursue a dispute in that way. I pinged you (as the last admin to interact with said editor) to avoid getting personally involved which again seems a more than reasonable way forward - not a heavy handed intervention.
