Welcome[edit]

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
No Sockpuppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

1RR[edit]

The article Irish republicanism, along with other articles relating to The Troubles, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a previous Arbitration Enforcement case that closed in October 2007, and was amended by community consensus in October 2008. The current restrictions are:

All editors on Troubles-related articles are directed to get the advice of neutral parties via means such as outside opinions.
All articles related to The Troubles, defined as: any article that could be reasonably construed as being related to The Troubles, Irish nationalism, and British nationalism in relation to Ireland falls under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per day). When in doubt, assume it is related.
- Clear vandalism may be reverted without penalty

If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the guidelines laid out in the above link. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it on this talk page first.

Caoilte: While not technically a violation of 1RR, as they were spaced out over a few days, your edits are coming dangerously close to edit-warring. Articles related to The Troubles have been subject to Arbitration in the past, and thus have high admin visibility/low tolerance for disruptive editting. I understand that you seek to include what, to you, seems to be relevant information. Given the article's history, the best course of action (and the one most likely to result in a permanent addition) is to bring the issue up for discussion on the article's talk page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you find the experience fufilling. Throwaway85 (talk) 20:45, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop edit warring[edit]

You were informed of 1RR by the editor above, have ignored that and continue to edit war to include unreliable sources in articles. Please discuss your proposed edits on the articles' talk pages and do not continue to revert, otherwise I will ask for action to be taken against you.

My apologies if I accidentally violated the 1RR, I assure that it was not intentional. In the spirit of good faith I also would like to ask you to stop removing sourced information from the articles relevant to these issues as well because removing referenced information is unacceptable for an encyclopedia.--Caoilte (talk) 17:26, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see by the fact that 3 people now have reverted your addition, there is consensus that it does not belong in the lede. If you would like to discuss how that information might be included, I would counsel you to bring it up on the PIRA talk page. Throwaway85 (talk) 20:37, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
