== AdoptionMurillo de Aragão ==

Although we may have some disagreements over the [[Adoption]] article, I've since reviewed your edits and have come to appreciate your work. Your writing is very clean - a quality I admire disproportionately! Thank you for your good work. [[User:Danlovejoy|Danlovejoy]] 03:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Dear Bastun,

==Your vote on the beer and breweries categories==

I agree with you on the continent categories, but voting oppose here won't remove them, and will just help to preserve all the existing inconsistencies. If you support the main thrust of the proposal, which is to standardise the thrust of the categories, (and you haven't said you don't) could you please consider amending your vote to support and then coming back with nominations for any specific categories you have issues with? If everyone who has problems with a few specifics votes to "oppose all" - including the good parts - none of this mess will get fixed. [[User:Osomec|Osomec]] 23:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Greetings! Thank you for your review on my bio article about Murillo de Aragão. I am trying to locate the draft version of it so I can make the changes you suggested, but I am not managing to find it.

== Dallas Pro Volleyball vs Kansas City Pro Volleyball ==

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

Hello,

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]]. Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

You recently placed [[Draft:Dallas Pro Volleyball]] into the draftspace. Comparing it with the [[Kansas City Pro Volleyball]] page I see no difference. Both have local references, both start off in the same year. Shouldn't KC also be in the draftspace of both in the mainspace of Wikipedia? Explain the difference to me...[[User:Roberto221|Roberto221]] ([[User talk:Roberto221|talk]]) 19:57, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]]. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] 05:23, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

:Hi, {{u|Roberto221}}. I draftified Dallas Pro Volleyball as it appeared on my [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Pages Feed]], required review, and met the criteria for moving to draft, as set out in the notice. [[Kansas City Pro Volleyball]], on the other hand, was created in February 2024, and can't be draftified. It also fails to meet [[WP:NSPORTS]], so can be nominated for deletion, or draftifying could be suggested as an alternative to deletion.

May I ask why you tagged this page, [[Malskinsfjørður]] as reviewed? Seems to be a hoax. [[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 14:27, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, you have recently added [[Irish language|Irish]] on my languges page, Can you put my full name on it please plus the translation, Thanks!!

:Hi, {{u|Fram}}, it's been deleted so I can't see it now. IIRC, it was referenced? I didn't check all the references but nothing struck me as out of place at the time.

== Gaelic/Irish Republic ==

::::And created another hoax, also deleted. If they resume similar editing in the future, they will get blocked (not by me obviously). [[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 17:43, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

The reason why the terms seem so odd is because certainly the vast majority of Irish people would call the language ''Irish''. It is very rarely referred to in Ireland as ''gaelic'', though I suppose it depends on the school. As to ''Irish Republic'', that is normally a major ''no-no''. It is the name of the Republic in existence between 1919 and 1922. Britain until recent times controversially called the Irish state the ''Irish Republic'' because they interpreted ''Republic of Ireland'' as suggesting there was no other Ireland and so a denial of Northern Ireland's existence. It is a weird interpretation on its part but such a touchy topic that for example, while the Irish state will accept [[Letter of Credence|Letters of Credence]] accrediting ambassadors using ''Republic of Ireland'', ''Ireland'' or the President's name (e.g., President McAleese) it refuses point blank to accept anything with the words "Irish Republic" on it and is liable to send them back with a demand for an apology. ''Irish Republic'' and ''Éire'' are the two no-nos which cause offence (though people understand that people using those formats may not intend offence, so usually they are politely told not to use either format). Usually ''Irish Republic'' or ''Éire'' is used by some of the more right wing mid-market British papers like the Express.

== Improper page tagging? ==

But, as I said, it depends on your background and experience. Your school may not have called the language by its normal name (''"gaelic"'' hasn't been used in most schools since the 1920s). Don't worry about it. [[User:Jtdirl|<span style="color:green; background-color:pink">'''Fear''ÉIREANN'''''</span>]][[Image:Ireland-Capitals.PNG|15px]]\^{<font color="blue">[[User talk:Jtdirl|(caint)]]</font>} 23:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

How are you Bastun? Please don't tag articles with improper tags as you did to [[The Arrangements (short story)]], and others. I provided sources for many of them, and tagging with "notability" makes me worry whether you did a BEFORE before tagging, and so, you should have done, be it you are taking it [the articles] to AFD. Cheers. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]]</span><sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 12:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

You just seem so out of touch, like being on a different planet. Sorry about it , you did puzzle me, honest! [[User:MelForbes|MelForbes]] 00:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

:I don't believe any of the tags were improper? You must provide sources for ''all'' of them, and single sources for stub articles (as some had) is questionable. Re notability - please see [[WP:GNG]] and [[WP:NBOOK]]. Is there any significant, lasting coverage of any of these short stories? It may have served better to include a section in the author's own article or on her bibliogrpahy article on her short stories, rather than one-sentence stub articles that may very well be deleted. Additionally, you should note that notability is not inherited - yes, [[Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie]] is notable; not all of her stories are necessarily notable. As a new page patroller yourself, you should know this. Please also see [[WP:PAGEDECIDE]].

Hi there, and thank you for your work with NPP! I want to let you know that I declined your [[WP:G4|G4 speedy deletion]] nomination of [[Harsh Patel]]. G4 only {{tq|applies to sufficiently identical copies}} of previously-deleted articles. Although you cannot see the previously deleted version, one of the things to look out for is the date of the late deletion and compare that with the information provided in the article. In this case, the AfD was in September 2015, and the new article included many sources published since then, indicating that the new article is sufficiently different. Therefore, the article isn't eligible for G4. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions, comments, and/or concerns on the matter.

Hello,

::BTW,if you study my talk page you will see that there is only one request for an apology from guess who [[User:TharkunColl|TharkunColl]] and not 5 as you state on the BI talk,page. Actually, you were quite offensive to me about 3 weeks ago. You indirectly referred to me as British hating Irish nationalist, which is quite untrue. I was actually born in Scotland, educated in England and now live in Ireland. And my parentage is English-Scottish and Irish. If I did push the point a little hard at times, well it was to make up the lack of Irish editors willing to put their heads above the parapet.[[User:MelForbes|MelForbes]] 20:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

== May 2025 Revert O Comain ==

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

I see you've just now reverted my page edit to the page I created at [[Ó Comáin|O Comain]].

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]]. Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

As you know, on the [[Talk:Ó Comáin#May 2025|Talk page]] I posted earlier in the week explaining my intention and reasoning for refreshing the page with the Clan O Comain recognition, and to please post objections.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]]. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] 16:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Your response ''"My advice, if you do proceed, would be to go slowly, use accurate edit summaries, and absolutely excellent sourcing."''

==Volunteer Mediation==

Have you reviewed the latest chat on the Volunteer mediation? Things still seem a tad up in the air. You might want to take a look as this will be closing soon [[User:Weggie|Weggie]] 16:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

The page edit I created has proceeded exactly as that. However, on reviewing your response again, you mention that you believe Irish clans should be on a Wordpress site and not represented on Wikipedia.

Ah, still open. Ok - will revert my last edits pending closure. [[User:Bastun|Bastun]] 16:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

You are violating:

::I was more meaning the mediation decision which has now changed at least three times seemingly so if you have an opinion it may need adding in the mediators section (even if all the arguments have been out) as the mediator seems to be getting railroaded into a decision [[User:Weggie|Weggie]] 16:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

# '''Tone and Civility (WP:CIVIL)''' terms like "bolloxology" and the dismissive recommendation to use a Wordpress site

== The end of the mediation cabal on the term Volunteer is ending in two days. ==

# '''Bias and NPOV (WP:NPOV)''' – Your comments reflect a clear bias against the inclusion of Irish clans on Wikipedia, despite their historical and cultural significance. Dismissing the relevance of Clans of Ireland without counter-evidence violates the core principle of neutrality.

# '''Assumption of Bad Faith (WP:AGF)''' – You assumed, without basis, that my intention was to promote unsourced or inappropriate content. In fact, my edits were based on verifiable information and clearly stated sources, as noted in the Talk page discussion.

# '''Ownership of Articles (WP:OWN)''' – It appears you have taken ownership of the article, reverting changes without reasonable cause or collaborative discussion. Wikipedia is a shared platform, and unilateral control over content is not acceptable.

# '''Reversion without Dialogue (WP:BRD)''' – You reverted the page without a meaningful attempt to discuss your concerns or engage in the collaborative process that Wikipedia relies upon.

I kindly request that you reconsider your approach to this matter, and if you have specific, fact-based concerns, I am more than willing to address them in good faith. Waiting for your reponse. [[User:Kellycrak88|Kellycrak88]] ([[User talk:Kellycrak88|talk]]) 18:17, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

==[[Martin McCaughey]]==

I have added a "{{[[Template:prod|prod]]}}" template to the article [[Martin McCaughey]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at [[Talk:Martin McCaughey|its talk page]]. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]].

Hello Bastun:

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation|WikiProject Articles for creation]]''' is holding a '''month long [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/June 2025 Backlog Drive|Backlog Drive]] in June!'''<br />

== Political pov ==

The goal of this drive is to '''reduce''' the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

Bastun, could you please explain why you reverted my edit on the NI article without any discussion or consultation? Thanks. ([[User:Sarah777|Sarah777]] 01:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC))

:Hi Sarah. Plain and simple, clarity. The previous version was ''The remainder of the island of Ireland is governed as a sovereign state, Ireland, also described as the [[Republic of Ireland]].'' I thought it was a clumsy construction at best and confusing as hell for someone not familiar with the island. The replacement is clearer and accurate.

==Unsigned template==

Hard to find some of these things. However, if you see a template has been used, then click edit to search the coding, you will usually find the name of the template in there somewhere (some templates transclude other templates, so it's more complex). The one you want is:

:<nowiki>{{subst:unsigned|USER NAME}} -- ~~~~</nowiki>

I've added a signature, which is not part of the template as such. "Subst:" means it puts the text permanently on the page. Otherwise it has to call up the template text each time it's accessed - and a change to the template will then change the text that comes up. Most templates should be used with "subst:".

==Ireland==

{{Archive top

|result = As it says at the top of the page: '''If you came here to discuss article content, please post at the article Talk page.''' That is where discussions about content belong, so that everybody watching the article can participate, and so the discussion becomes part of the page's historical record, and is easy to find. You can always [[:Template:ping|ping]] me to draw my attention to a talk page discussion.}}

@bastun I’m posting here directly, as the main thread is already long—and on your talk page keeps the discussion fully transparent for anyone who wishes to follow it.

It seems to be that—putting aside broader disagreements—the focused objection you’ve raised is the inclusion of the President of Ireland in the modern clan recognition section.

Thanks for your message. Wikipedia is an excellent website but sadly on some subjects it has become a forum for bile, prejudice and ignorance. Many of the sites covering Ireland are sad examples of this. I have tried to get some commesense but have failed so I am not going to bother any more. '''Ireland is a country'''. The country's '''official name''' is the Republic of Ireland. It is part of the [[British Isles]]...and so on. Self important users, for narrow poltical reasons, seek to deny these facts. When entries are corrected (by me or others) they get ignorantly on their high horses and revise entries to conform with their own absurd points of view. It is boring and tedious and a waste of time to try and take them on and I've had enough of it. [[User:PaddyBriggs|PaddyBriggs]] 09:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

While I had hoped we could build consensus by handling the article section-by-section, starting with the historical background, I appreciate your input has stalled.

So, in the spirit of compromise and as an olive branch: I'm open to potentially removing the president. In return, I’d ask whether you’d be willing to review the updated historical section—based on Cotter and other secondary sources—for merger into the main article.

==Ireland Demography==

Then we can focus on the modern clan info separately.

Bastun, the Irish people are genetically closely related to those of Spain. Recent research: [http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=15309688] suggests that much of the current population share close ancestry with the Spanish. In your message to me, you state that the recent Spanish migrations were minute in their demic effect: I agree, and hence I referring to Ireland's Iberian post-glacial heritage above. I will link this into the article to make it clear.

Likewise, there is no clear evidence that there is a strong genetic heritage of the Celts in Ireland. This goes against current fashion, so many don't like this. This doesn't change the absence of evidence to support this. I happily acknowlegde the significant contribution of Celtic culture to Irish people - as is mentioned on the 2nd sentence. However, in terms of demography, there is nothing to support a largely Celtic origin. Consequently, I will remove this.[[User:Apollo Crua|Apollo Crua]] 12:10, 27 March 2007 (GMT)

I believe this would be a constructive way forward and a good-faith step on both sides.

:The demographics section was/is referring to more modern (as in, actually ''recorded'') history, though. Hopefully my latest edit, separating out the post-Ice Age and more modern influences, is acceptable.

==British IslesProgeny ==

hi..rather than get lost on the talk page... in more specific response to a question you raised on the BI talk page, I'll refer to what I already said on that page in response to a somewhat similar question from Sony youth.

Priests not getting married is a relatively new thing. Look how many popes had children and heirs, etc. [[User:Kellycrak88|Kellycrak88]] ([[User talk:Kellycrak88|talk]]) 22:44, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

''"Recognised" by the refs, most of which are published outside of Ireland. Even where the authors decided to keep using "British Isles" they recognised that there was an issue with it. "Increasingly" because one ref says so specifically, because Folens and several other Atlases (i think Michelin, Reader's Digest, etc) that used to refer to British Isles no longer do so, because of the Embassy spokesman quotation last year, because of the renaming of The Lions, because of the Guardian article quoted in the BI dispute page, etc. In any case, "recognised as problematic" is for sure; "increasingly" seems pretty darn well supported. It's a way of avoiding "often" & "sometimes" and of avoiding a desire for polls that don't exist either for or against. (BTW, according to Webster, sometimes means "now and then" or "occasionally", which just isn't a reasonable characterisation of the situation). Hughsheehy 15:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)''

Users can delete at will from their talk page, including warnings. If they remove a warning, then they are deemed to have seen it. This has been discussed frequently on forums such as [[WP:AN]]. Some users disapprove of this. Removal of warnings can add circumstantial evidence about a user's motivations. It is certainly inappropriate to delete a conversation before it's finished. However, none of this should incur sanctions (though occasionally it does anyway). This has all evolved over the last few months, and in the past it would have been seen as wrong to carry out such deletions. Have a look at [[WP:TPG]] and [[WP:USER]], but regardless of what it says there, I have given you the current practice, which is what counts on wiki. If you leave a warning, you might want to make this very clear in the edit summary, as this could be where someone else looks. [[User:Tyrenius|Tyrenius]] 22:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Here is the schedule:

*July 9–15 - Call for candidates

*July 18–22 - Discussion phase

*July 23–29 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

::"See [[WP:AGF]]." "The category was specficially created for POV reasons." Hmm, maybe you should read [[WP:AGF]] too, because you don't appear to be applying it. I've read the creator's reasons for creating it, and they seem sound to me - a way to categorise pages describing IRA actions that resulted in killings but are "known" by places and are therefore being removed from the "Category:People killed by the IRA" by yourself and Vintagekits.

* The requirements to run are identical to [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship|RFA]]—a prospective candidate must be [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Extended confirmed users|extended confirmed]].

* Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing [[Wikipedia:Successful requests for adminship|successful]] and [[Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies (Chronological)|unsuccessful]] RFAs, reading the essay [[Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates]], and possibly requesting an [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll|optional poll on their chances of passing]].

* The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.

* The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is '''no official difference''' between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.

* Administrator elections are also a [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification_and_Amendment/Archive_128#Clarification request: Desysoppings|valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors]].

Ask any questions about the process at the [[Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections|talk page]]. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

:::I disagree, but we could just go round in circles and get nowhere. How about reverting [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Omagh_bombing&diff=prev&oldid=121807684 this edit] then, as I can't for 3RR reasons?

*Have you breached [[WP:3RR]] on this page over the past 24 hours?--[[User:Vintagekits|Vintagekits]] 15:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

On July 23, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the [[m:SecurePoll|SecurePoll]] software to vote, which uses a [[secret ballot]]. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's totals during the election. You must be [[Wikipedia:XC|extended confirmed]] to vote.

Per [[WP:BLP]] it is paramount not to have a name on a list of IRA members that inadvertently links to an individual of the same name who is not an IRA member. The priority is to stop this. Removing the name from the list is sanctioned by BLP and should not be hindered in any way. Reinstating such erroneous links knowingly is a serious matter. It's up to list makers to be more careful. If an editor chooses to disambiguate rather than remove the name, that's enitirely up to them, but there is no obligation to do so. Also [[WP:3RR]] does not apply to users, who are removing BLP vios. [[User:Tyrenius|Tyrenius]] 23:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last approximately four days, or perhaps a little longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Results|results page]] (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025|main election page]]. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no [[WP:Bureaucrat discussion|bureaucrat discussions]] ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the [[Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections|election talk page]]. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Please read the article, and the sources before [[WP:POINT|trying to make a point]].

:Same again, no multiple, independent non-trivial sources.

:Again, the McCaughey AfD occurred before you started being disruptive. Also your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Bastun&namespace=4 AfD participations] are quite telling, apart from the Virginia Tech massacre the only ones you've participated in since February are the recent Arbuthnot ones, so I'm more than justified in my assessment in my opinion.
