[edit] ArchivesNo problem. I also added {{talkarchive}} to your older archives. You may want to cut and paste any ongoing discussions back to this page if the old discussion provides important context. You can always cut and paste them back to the archive when they peter-out. -Rrius (talk) 00:16, 19 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Sign the petitionI don't usually do this kind of thing but would you please sign the Come back Jack petition. --Cameron (T|C) 19:45, 19 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Toronto Maple LeafsI've been reading (imagine that) about the switchover from NHA to NHL. It seems to me that if we consider the St. Pats and the Arenas as predecessors to the Leafs, then we should probably consider the Toronto club from the NHA to be a predecessor as well. Hear me out. Livingstone owned the NHA franchise. In 1917, the NHA took the players and franchise away when the 228th dropped out. They ordered Livingstone to sell, but he didn't. Because they expected it to sell, there are cites that the players were to go back to that franchise. The following season, those players became the property of the NHL Toronto franchise. Also, the manager Querrie was the same. While the Arena Company paid for the franchise (and paid again a year later) it seems to be basically the same thing. Same jerseys, colors, too. I am pretty sure the NHL and Leafs don't consider Livingstone's club a predecessor, but we can here at Wikipedia if it is explained and cited. I don't think a merge is necessary, just the connections between. I don't think it is original research. Also, the date of the start of Blueshirts can be iffy too. While O'Brien sold his franchise (according to Coleman the Les Canadiens) or a franchise (according to other books the Les Canadiens were sold to Kennedy). At any rate, the Toronto club started in 1912, franchise bought in 1911. Myself, if I owned the Leafs, I would consider the Blueshirts a predecessor and Toronto fans would accept it. What do you think? (Keep the discussion on this page?) Alaney2k (talk) 16:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Fine. Then you'll just take my word for it. :-) Alaney2k (talk) 20:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] New WPAre you going to add yourself?. Thanks for signing the petition by the way. I am going to miss Jack if he doesn't come back. = ( --Cameron (T|C) 19:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Done. You can take a look to see if it's ok. I wrote: "Freelance/NPOV promoter". --Cameron (T|C) 20:47, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] UK pageMaybe you can explain to Fonzy your point about consensus on the UK page. He is setting up a massive edit war, preaching to everyone and now deleting other editors comments (not to mentioning banning IP votes). I get a sense of a 14 year old playing games not a serious editor. --Snowded (talk) 22:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please see Jack's talk pageAnd the diffs I left about the personal attacks he has made. We are not dealing with a nice user, and in one edit, even threatened to fight with me, and along with calling me "arsehole", "prick", "dickhead", among others, this is not acceptable. Additionally, the user is up for sockpuppetery at the moment. Fone4Me 15:32, 21 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Where's TharkunColl?He seems to have vanished. He doesn't to appear to have had a disagreement or anything. You don't think he's retired too, do you? --Cameron (T|C) 14:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] FonezHi, "Troll" here. I'd appreciate your good counsel where Fonez is concerned. I fear a degeneration into a slanging match should I reply further to his latest edits directed towards me at Talk:United Kingdom#f0f5ff Poll Discussion. Thanks much. Troll. 80.41.249.183 (talk) 16:58, 22 June 2008 (UTC) (Soon to be registered under that name - promise!)
[edit] Filed an ANI reportI have been bold and filed a report here. Please tell me on my talk page if you think my summary is fair and (if you wish) comment too. I have requested an admin take a look at both sockpuppetry cases and the closure by a non-admin. --Cameron (T|C) 17:10, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Scotland, etc.If you keep saying at United Kingdom that we need to go to Scotland, cabals will keep arguing about irrelevancies. I suggest starting a new topic (with suggestions) at Scotland, then notifying UK in a new section that the topic is open there. I won't do it because I am a little frustrated with the continual dips in tone. -Rrius (talk) 19:36, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
UK not GB, noted, thanx.Czar Brodie (talk) 21:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry but I think my comment on Fone4My was reasonable. He is behaving in a totally arrogant way and has a very poor track record. A new editor, imposing on a debate of this type? Previous track record having to apologies for stealing other people's entries? I accepted constituent country on Wales for the sake of the peace. I don;t think it will be accepted on Scotland (hence my earlier suggestion of a compromise). However we are now back in a Unionist-nationalist polarisation. Not only that we have a small cabal who will I think attempt to impose, and build bad faith, withdrawal from editing. I've just about had enough to be honest. --Snowded (talk) 00:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Plugging partsI don't think it will help and I do think it is POV. Understand the frustration but its plain wrong and a recipe for constant edit wars. --Snowded (talk) 00:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Our friend has returned...Check out recent edits by a user named Night-sunne, remind you of anyone named Wassup?

[edit] Editor ReviewI have an editor review going WP:Editor review/Rrius and, like everyone else, am looking for someone who's not familiar with me to do a review. I'm not sure whether you, Cameron, or G2 know me too well or not, but I was hoping you could suggest someone (or even better ask for me). Thanks either way! -Rrius (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] Ottawa Sens captainsI'll doublecheck my media/yearbooks for the Sens. That goes too far back to remember right away. Alaney2k (talk) 22:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC) The sequence of events: Mark Lamb was traded away. Dineen became co-captain with Brad Shaw. Brad Shaw became injured and Dineen was sole captain during that time only. When Shaw came back, Dineen became co-captain with Shaw until the end of the season. After the season, Dineen was not re-signed. The following fall (in '94) was the start of the lockout. In pre-season, Shaw was sole captain. By the time the season started Randy Cunneyworth became sole captain. Alaney2k (talk) 13:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] reFonez4mii and MagdelenaDiArco were the same person, yet argued against eachother so that one point would come out. Jack forbes and Fonez4mii are the same person arguing against himself, so that one editor will ultimately become more respected, as Fonez confimed he had done with another set of accounts a while ago, to me by email. This is Jonas Rand on a proxy by the way. 89.240.200.158 (talk) 19:10, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
"Troll" here. I was adding to the list. They're not "Jack's socks" needles to say. Does it appear on the section that they are Jack's? Not my intention, I recon they're Fonez' socks. 80.41.253.210 (talk) 23:45, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ScotlandYe sorry i know. Im new to wikipedia sorry. Also do you think you can edit the scotland page and keep the edits --Martinnutini (talk) 22:40, 29 June 2008 (UTC) I've an open mind about the user at this stage. Certainly some of the discussion lacks depth and professionalism. There's little damage that can be done here however - any hint of distruption or inappropriate behaviour can be easily remedied. If this gentleman sincerely lacks the ability to learn our values and standards, then I can't see them lasting, for better or worse. :) --Jza84 | Talk 23:02, 29 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] United States Presidential Election 2008 MediationHi, I've accepted the United States Presidential Election 2008 Mediation, and you are listed as one of the participants.

I have added you along with added 18 other users (including myself) to the list of involved parties. The ones I have listed are ones who have commented recently, or who commented on the Mediation Cabal case (except if they solely made a neutral comment). If you disagree with me listing you there, remove yourself from it if you wish. If you feel someone else should be involved, add/ask them. I hope those I have added are alright though. I also hope this step is what finally ends this dispute!

As you've commented on the issue already, I wanted to ensure you take the opportunity to vote. Gabrielthursday (talk) 01:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] A Reply, etcThanks for the message on my talk page. I've replied there, and I see the editor is now being inflammatory on Talk:Wales, even though the proposal will have the effect of bringing about a large degree of consistency amongst the relevant articles. DDStretch (talk) 16:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] UK as CountriesThanks for the message. I posted on the mediation a while back: "Encarta defines a country as: "1. separate nation: a nation or state that is politically independent, or a land that was formerly independent and remains separate in some respects."" This definition applies to Scotland, Wales and England. It would have applied to Ireland, prior to their independence, but I don't think it applies to Northern Ireland now. NI seems to defy definition. It isn't a (separate) nation, as there are two separate nationalities there. It isn't a province - which would be Ulster - as there are two Ulster counties in the Republic. It isn't 'a state that is politically independent'. It was never 'formerly independent' (in itself). It was born out of political expediancy, rather than anything else. Seems to be easier to say what it isn't, rather than what it is. Nice try, though. What are your thoughts? Dai caregos (talk) 08:43, 6 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] ExamsThanks GoodDay, I managed to pass them all. Even maths and chemistry, hehehe. = ) Now that my exams are over you'll be having to put up with a lot more of my royalist rants. You'll wish I was gone again in no time! = ) --Cameron* 20:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Many of your reverts were incorrect, but I'm more surprised that you actually editted an article. Silver lining I suppose. Still, if you're going to say "Discuss it first" you should at least make an attempt to open the discussion... --Bardcom (talk) 16:08, 12 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] WikiProject British Empire/ParticipantsHI I have read your post on this talk page and added you name to the list Jim Sweeney (talk) 05:54, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ReplyI don't know when I'll start editing again. I guess when the time comes I'll know. I still like to keep up to date on the discussions, but as you know, I'll be staying away from Britain and British Isles articles for a good while. Probably for the best, keeps the blood pressure down. :) Jack forbes (talk) 21:37, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Hi GoodDay, I'm going round making my apologies to those who deserve it, and you are certainly one of those. I apologise for letting you defend me at a time where I did'nt deserve it. When I saw this happening I should have held my hands up and confessed to not being #000000r than #000000. I felt pretty bad afterwards, not about the block so much, but about allowing people to defend me when I could have stopped them. Once again, sorry! Jack forbes (talk) 10:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC) Thanks GoodDay, I don't want to start archiving till I begin anew, sounds a bit silly, but it would feel like a clean slate. Jack forbes (talk) 09:22, 16 July 2008 (UTC) I hope your solving all the problems at the Britain related and British Isles articles while I'm away. :) Jack forbes (talk) 21:49, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
I can't remember in my lifetime the name Irish sea being controvertial. Of course,try telling the French the water between them and England is the English channel. Jack forbes (talk) 22:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] Wales intro: a new poll, and consensus actually in sightI know you have already voted, but there has been two new proposals since (now combined into one poll), and another combined poll of older suggestions. As Keeper's first poll seems to have been superseded now, I thought you might like to know this (assuming you didn't, or are tucked up in bed perhaps). It seems a consensus is genuinely on the horizon here given the people in agreement, but I’m sure that, as such an interested party, people will wish for your input again.--Matt Lewis (talk) 22:23, 16 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] Talk:2007–08 NHL seasonI've just made a recommendation on the page Talk:2007–08 NHL season. Since you edit there regularly, I wanted your comment. BMW(drive) 14:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] ThanksMind taking a look at HC CSKA Moscow. Don't want to go over 3 myself since I warned him about it. -Djsasso (talk) 21:57, 17 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] Talk:Montreal CanadiensReply is on my talk page. Isaac Lin (talk) 19:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] And what am i doing now?I try to get concensus. Now we have the article talk page discussion, and before that we have the Djasso discussion. I dont mind to have a discussion without reverts, but i think you agree that Djasso didnt look for a concensus with me but to make a point. The dude with the Red Wings (talk) 20:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Are you good in writing articles?I think there should be an article at the Wikipedia about the IIHF Centennial All-Star Team. Here is the link about it. The problem is i dont quite know how to write them. The World Team of the 20th Century have done a table with the players, not only that, down in that page? They have a template with the names of the players. If you couldn't do it, could you please leave this messege to someone who could? Thank you. P.S. I think in the CSKA Moscow and Montreal articles we can already edit the article towards a concensus. Check my latest edits in both of them. The dude with the Red Wings (talk) 11:42, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Understood. Who should i talk to there? The "Base" of the article looks nice. The dude with the Red Wings (talk) 13:59, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please don'tG'day; don't edit war on River Shannon and Irish Sea; the established version of both articles was recently overturned and I have reverted to the status quo. Current advice is to not introduce the term "British Isles" into Irish related articles as it is controversial and provocative. Regards Sarah777 (talk) 16:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] Gold heartFeel free to revert mercilessly, per WP:BAN. SirFozzie (talk) 23:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] User JokerrrHey GoodDay, I must say in a way he or she has a clever username... Anyway, just a heads up, this person is reverting changes you, and I and DJsasso have made, including reverting typo fixes... I think this person may be a fan of Central Red Army, though that is just a guess... Dbrodbeck (talk) 12:16, 23 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] Lough NeaghYour reason for reverting Lough Neagh is one of the most bizarre I've come across in a long career at Wikipedia. The edits from this IP are no more "troublesome" than those from the other, shall we say, "interested" parties. Your reverting actually betrays your hatred of IPs in general. This I cannot understand, though it is, regrettably, a common trait of signed-in Wikipedians. Have a look at the relevant policies and you'll see that IPs are not to be disciminated against and have as much right to edit articles as any other user. Jimbo Wales states that - paraphrased "it is a fundamental principle of Wikipedia that anyone can edit this article right now [IP or otherwise]". Please try and curb your dislike of IPs. Whilst most vandalism is perpetrated by this class of user, they are also invaluable to Wikipedia as a whole. 141.6.8.75 (talk) 08:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NHL captainsHey mate, why do I have a crappy attitude? To 99,9% of the peolpe - I am guessing, but it would make sense- nhl.com is the primary source of info for NHL-fans, as it is the official website, so why shouldn't it be reliable? I usually agree with you, because you spend a lot of time in here and know a lot about hockey, but don't let it get to you head... and btw: you let the Hawks' "A" as vacant, because it was like that on nhl.com, so why not the one from the Bruins or Caps?

I would have undone one edit myself, had it been only one, but I don't know how to revert to a much older, correct, edit. I've had a look at the editor's talk page and he/she's had a couple of vandalism warnings. Also, there's an edit in there that I'm not certain of - someone's changed the Welsh people from Cymry to Cymraeg, which I thought meant the language, not the people. Would you mind having a look at it for me please? Thanks & best regards, Dai caregos (talk) 14:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MulticulturalismThanks for the feedback! I hope all is well with you (I think our paths haven't crossed as much as former times of late). With regards to the most recent debate, I can understand that a few users have fallen in to a trap about identities owing to some media coverage, but thankfully, my own educational experience allows me to see this for what it is. As I say, every locality in the world is multicultural - people can chose whatever identity they want, in any place in the world, with any density or vocality! Humanity itself is a multicultural body! Monoculturalism is only achieved by a single individual; the world is a pluralist place. Of course the UK is multicultral, but I could add "X is multicultural and its citizens may identify with Y" to every settled place covered on Wikipedia; its a compromised sentence that allows the editor to imply things that they may inforce upon the reader, which I'm not comfortable with, as I'm sure you're also appreciating! --Jza84 | Talk 00:01, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Although I understand that language is a democracy and that if a term has currency one is on weak ground calling it wrong, I still prefer to replace these less-logical terms with the more-logical ones when I see them, just as you did in this article. Happy editing. - House of Scandal (talk) 19:37, 2 August 2008 (UTC) [edit] your review of the opening statement of Ehud OlmertAfter your comment on talk page, I've simplefyed the opening statement of Ehud Olmert, and I need your review to tell me if it's clearer now ?? ThanX in advance, --Shevashalosh (talk) 20:56, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Review of this portion of "Acting Prime Minister" chapterHere it is: On 4 January 2006, Olmert became Acting (caretaker) Prime Minister of Israel as a result of the serious stroke suffered by Ariel Sharon. This occured, after Consultations took place, between Government Secretary Israel Maimon and Attorney General Meni Mazouz, whom declared Sharon "temporarily incapable to carry out the duties of his office". Then, Olmert and the Cabinet reaffirmed in an announced, that the 28 March elections will be held as scheduled. During the days following the stroke, Olmert met with Shimon Peres and other Sharon supporters to try to convince them to stay with Kadima, rather than return to Likud or, in Peres' case, Labour, in order not to make Kadima party collaps, after Sharon's stroke, and reaffirm himself as the new leader of the party. Peres announced his support for Olmert, as did Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, who is regarded as the strongest political force other than Olmert within Kadima. On 16 January 2006 Olmert was elected Acting (Caretaker) Chairman of Kadima, and Kadima's candidate for Acting (Caretaker) Prime Minister in the nearing scheduled general elections of March 28, instaed of Ariel Sharon, who was lying in Hospital under severe stroke[16] [17] The previously scheduled elections for 28 March, with the Kadima Party headed by Olmert, as caretaker of Sharon's political and Government positions, made Olmert continue his role as Acting (caretaker) Prime Minister. According to Israeli law, an Acting (caretaker) Prime Minister can remain in office 100 days after the Prime Minister has become incapacitated. After 100 days, the president of Israel must either nominate a new Prime Minister (who then must get a vote of confidence from the knesset), or call an early election. In this case, the 100 days were over on 14 April 2006, just few days after the elecions were held, with Olmert as caretakers of all Sharon's political and Government positions, thus, making this process deemed unneeded, and so Olmert became legally Interim (transitional) Prime Minister, and formed a new Government on May 4, 2006, thus, making him the Prime Minister by all legal means.
[edit] One more time of your review is needed...:-) Deputy leaders of IsraelI've edited the Deputy leaders of Israel, and need you to read the article, in order to get your review - and see if after you read it, it is understendble to the reader. I put much efforts there to simplify and add clarifications to the article. When you have time, read it - and post me a message - I'd love to get your review on the matter.

[edit] olmert's infoboxHey goodday - how are you ? I'd like to ask you, if you know where Israeli Prime minister infobox is located (the one used for olmert's article)? There are two things i'm cocerned about: 1) is the "Deputy" section, which states as if Tzipi Livni is the the deputy Prime Minister -instaed of Acting Prime Minister 2) second, the dates now are correct, but the infobox looks bad - so i'd like to add more section title by add "additional paramenter" title: |Acting Prime Minister = I know in Hebrew wikipedia you can add an additional parameter title: {{Additional parameter|Acting Prime Minister|[[Tzipi Livni]]}} - which will result as Acting Prime Minister Tzipi Livni do you know how can I do that in Englisd wikipedia ? thanX, --Shevashalosh (talk) 21:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC) [edit] Re: IP 86.xxx.xxxI believe User:Alison investigated and found them to be User:Gold heart. It's a dynamic IP range, which makes it difficult to block (and this would probably adversely affect a lot of other users too). And of course there's always the possibility that someone other than User:Gold heart who uses the same IP range might post something on a British Isles related page, which makes things even more confusing (given WP:AGF and all that).

[edit] Thanks! - O cheery one!G'Day - I've taken your advice ;)Sarah777 (talk) 21:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC) [edit] Highest etc in the British IslesSorry I'm taking my time on the BI examples: what do you think of this? I'm giving you the diff just in case! I notices that Carrauntoohil had nothing comparative in it, and that height of mountains aren't that straight forward. Using "absolute height" (per this) seems to be OK. It makes Carrauntoohil fourth! Question is, is that notable? I'm going to try and argue that it is. --Matt Lewis (talk) 23:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC) [edit] British Isles"Life would've been much easier, if the term British Isles had never been invented." Nonsense. This term was invented thousands of years before Irish nationalism (really just ethnic extremisim) reared its ugly head. It's not as if the British invented the term (which has always included the Irish.) Life would've been much easier, if the self-styled Irish Republic had not been allowed to break away from the rest of the British nation. Still, lets hope its only a temporary disgrace and insult to national pride heh and long may live the term British Isles, whether the hateful separatists with their anglophobia like it or not. Christopedia (talk) 01:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Oh I'm also confident something will work out as well in the long run, not just any something but something very close to that which my heart desires. The nation will be reunited, but should never have been divided. There is much to be done and there is much that needs to change, but it is no longer in our hands. It's just frustrating in the meantime and it doesn't look like it will happen any time soon but it will one day, of that I have no doubt and I can certainly wait. People cannot live in ignorance forever. There is a long way to go but each day that passes is one day closer. It is just a tragedy and a shame that the nation ever had to be divided in the first place. | ||||||||||||||||
