Hello, I'm Tbhotch. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Catherine Howard, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 23:30, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 10:37, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Margaret of Scotland (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.

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage newer editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. Yobol (talk) 17:06, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Circumcision. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Zad68

Hello, I'm TheRedPenOfDoom. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!

With this edit [1], you removed properly sourced content and replaced it with unsourced content, and/or non reliable sources. It is the responsibility of the person adding or restoring content to provide appropriate citations to reliable sources-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:28, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

I redid my edits with explanations. Don't take that as hostile reverting. Feel free to revert them all, or the specific edits you disagree with. Regards, Rob984 (talk) 15:34, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Alwyn, I've close that discussion on Talk:Republic of Ireland. Wikipedia talk pages are intended to discuss specific changes to articles. However, the discussion had already gone deep down a rabbit hole of general discussion. I hope you understand why I took the action I did, --Tóraí (talk) 22:08, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
I don't agree that the discussion entitled Southern Ireland pertaining to the name of the Republic of Ireland should have been closed at this stage. There were still many issues needing to be resolved. AlwynJPie (talk) 22:24, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
The stuff you stuck in was undue - the paragraph about history is already the largest in the lead and the bit you stuck in isn't even described in the body of the article. The appropriate place for that is in the section "Revolution and steps to independence" and I have no objections to it going there, it would still not be important enough to go into the lead though. Dmcq (talk) 12:25, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
We have to deal with the world as it is not as it was fifty years ago. It's misleading to readers to suggest that Middlesex still exists as a county in any meaningful sense. Sorry, that's just the way it is. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:12, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Howdy. Recommend you read up on WP:INDENT, concerning posts on talkpages :) GoodDay (talk) 02:40, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
Please don't start pushing your "Southern Ireland" views again, as you did here and here. You know that you have aired these views repeatedly on several talk pages and/or in edit summaries and that there has been a solid consensus against them every time. Continuing to flog a dead horse is disruptive. Scolaire (talk) 08:05, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
I think you still don't understand. It doesn't matter how many times you write your own personal history of "Southern Ireland", or whether you quote large chunks of other Wikipedia articles to try and make it appear as though they back up your argument, it doesn't make it the true history of the country. Try sending it to a history journal, and see if they'll listen to you. It is not ever going to be accepted here, because you cannot back it up by reference to existing journal articles or books. To repeat myself once more, this one-man crusade is disrupting the project. You need to let it go. Scolaire (talk) 07:41, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Either you failed to notice the discussion at Talk:Provisional Government of Ireland (1922)#Requested move 8 April 2015 or you deliberately ignored it when you performed this page move without any prior notice or discussion. Given your long history of disruptive editing and filibustering on talk pages, it is very hard to assume good faith. Scolaire (talk) 08:57, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Clarified with "human inhabitants to have left traces of their existence probably arrived from Scotland" ? Not in the article cited and definitely not clarifying anything with this addition of unsourced probablity. Please remember we are editing an encyclopedia, thanks.

Remember that when adding medical content please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Your addition to Anti-Irish sentiment has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. You are also violating the policy against edit warring. Both of these violations can be sanctioned by a block. So stop it. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 18:05, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
You were advised here that copying text from web pages is a violation of copyright, and liable to get you blocked, yet you have done it again here. Why are you so keen to get blocked? Or are you just trying to see how much you can get away with? Scolaire (talk) 22:40, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Yoko Ono into Kyoko Ono Cox. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((copied)) template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 01:29, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kyoko Ono Cox is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kyoko Ono Cox until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bearcat (talk) 02:40, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:
Sorry. I was unaware that copying and pasting snippits of text was copyright violation. I wont do it again. AlwynJPie (talk) 06:32, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This is clearly not the case. You received multiple warnings and acknowledged them. Please explain exactly how you plan to ensure you will never violate copyright again, and how your understanding is different than the last time you discussed this, on February 1st, or the last time you were warned, on February 21st. You are very welcome to request another unblock, but you have to convince us that you won't be making any more copyright violations again. Yamla (talk) 11:36, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:
I do not edit to cause disruption and I am not a troll. All my edits have been in good faith and were to improve the encyclopeadia. I believe I have contributed to Wikipedia in a positive way. I have corrected many errors and inaccuracies and added useful information. If I disagreed with something, I always tried to explain my reasons. I have debated on the talk pages but I have not been rude or argumentative or sarcastic with any of the other editors no matter what they said to me. I did not think I was doing anything wrong by the copying and pasting of extracts relating to the article I was editing. I did not know the copyright rules applied to the talk pages. I believe I have learned a lot more about the rules of violations of copyright since. It is not necessary to block me because I will no longer be copying and pasting from other internet sites. AlwynJPie (talk) 23:47, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You were clearly warned back in February about copyright violations. It took me less than a minute to find the source you'd copied from in this this contribution (which, as an admin, I'm able to view). Wikipedia doesn't need editors who can't be bothered to take copyright law seriously. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:49, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
