Quick question
Hi. I have a question. If a user violates their non-interaction agreement (as is the case with
- ANI, to the best of my knowledge. A community ban prevents all participation, other than to appeal the ban. If someone is community banned and they are editing, then I would recommend either ) 06:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sjones, I'd really have to know more about the situation to give you proper advice. Generally speaking, an interaction ban means that an editor can't interact with or even discuss the other editor anywhere on Wikipedia. I'd have to know the nature of the community ban to comment. If you're talking about an appeal of a ban, the place to do it would be AN. If they just want to present evidence of a violation, they can bring it to an admin; I'd be happy to have a look. Is this the info you're looking for?--Cúchullain t/c 14:15, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, that was the information I was looking for. If a user violates their non-interaction agreement, I think its appropriate to report this to an administrator or ANI. Thanks! Also, I am and have always been happy to voluntarily stop interacting with some disruptive users if they are willing to do the same (as is the case with wikihounding for 14 hours. When Yworo returned, the IP hopper solicited Irolnire to instigate harassment against the user, resulting in another immediate violation of the non-interaction agreement and Irolnire was blocked. That eventually resulted in a community ban on the IP hopper at ANI due to his harassment of Yworo. Make sense? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 16:08, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I don't have the background on all that, and I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking whether Yworo should still follow the non-interaction agreement with the IP? They certainly shouldn't hesitate to report evidence of the anon harassing them, if that's what you mean.--Cúchullain t/c 19:59, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I was asking about the IP hopper who stalked Yworo and had some issues with him in the past and how to deal with that since the IP hopper is community banned. Banned edits, good or bad, can be reverted. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:45, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Patriot WarHaving recently bought and read a copy of Florida Fiasco by Rembert W. Patrick (1954), I was looking into writing an article about the Patriot War. There are reserve copies of The Other War of 1812: The Patriot War and the American Invasion of Spanish East Florida by James G. Cusick (2003) and The plot to steal Florida: James Madison's phony war by Joseph Burkholder Smith (1983) in local libraries. There is supposed to be a circulating copy of The Other War of 1812 in one library, which I have reserved, but it appears to be missing. There also appear to be downloadable copies of The plot to steal Florida, but I haven't tried to download one, yet. Anyway, in searching for sources, I saw your sand-box start. Are you still interested in developing the article? I probably will work rather slowly on it, as I have gotten out of the habit of editing WP. In any case, with at least 3 books published on the subject, I think a fairly long article is appropriate. -- Donald Albury 13:21, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Magic Hat BreweryThe article clearly states an American Brewery now. This implies that the Brewery is American owned. I simply changed the first line to reflect a Costa Rican owned Brewery in America. I am unsure why this change offends you so much but I will post for moderator review.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbparker40 (talk • contribs)

Hi
New User - first edit removing Hangul from Korean girl band, then edits to cats of Dukes of Wellington, then mass undiscussed moves of Vietnam articles, with familiar pattern of redirect edit locks. From today my watchlist beeping like crazy (at the time I'm always out every Saturday) with articles I created being moved and locked. I put in for Tech revert.

Disambiguation link notification for June 8Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cormoran, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Bullock and Gogmagog (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.

In ictu oculi (talk) 04:29, 10 June 2013 (UTC) GarcilasoThanks for fixing this. I had been thinking of taking this to RM; did I read somewhere that a repeated bold move (which has been reverted and taken to ddiscussion per BRD) can be reversed as a technical move? I was looking through the RM talk pages, but had drawn a blank (and it may just be a figment of my rum-soaked imagination!) Anyway thanks; I've stated my objections at the RM discussion there.

The Art InstitutesHello Cuchullain. I see that last week you reverted a deletion to The Art Institutes article, and thanks for doing so: it's certainly relevant information. (And at this writing you're still the most recent to have edited.) I also wanted to ask if you would be interested in looking at a new draft of the articl?. I'd like to be very clear: I am working on this page on behalf of Education Management Corporation, the parent company of The Art Institutes, and because of my financial COI I will not be making any mainspace edits. I recently left a request on the Talk page where I have explained my concerns with the current version and provided a link to the draft in my user space. Please take a look if you are interested.

Northeast FloridaSo i'm interested in hearing your take on the First Coast page. It seems that there is a struggle between the terms First Coast and Northeast Florida. They roughly have the same definition, but I'm concerned that the differences they do possess are blurred by the redirect and emphasis on First Coast. The term First Coast has a history of being used as a marketing tool, but the term leaves out a large chunk of the area population that may feel connected to the region, but not necessarily self identify with being a First Coaster. Northeast Florida being a geographical designation, and widely used by regional organizations to define an area larger than that of the Jacksonville metropolitan area, make it less loaded and more inclusive and cohesive. I don't believe two pages are needed, but a flip flop might be helpful. A history of the term First Coast should be included, but the more important encyclopedic topic is Norhteast Florida, to me. Let me know what you think. Mathew105601 (talk) 14:05, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
I'm actually a little torn as to whether it should be referred to as the First Coast or Northeast Florida. I think for outsiders it is easier to locate the region with the latter name. As far as the areas considered part of the region, I think you are missing a few very important references that set a huge precedent for the region. You have the Northeast Florida Regional Council and the Newly established Northeast Florida Regional Transportation Commission. These are growing organizations. Not to mention the list of other establishments that include Putnam and Flagler county into there internal references to Northeast Florida. I got the citations to establish Putnam and Flagler as part of the Northeast Florida?First Coast region. I think you even have Putnam County included in the combined statistical area of Jacksonville. That's why it was kind of perplexing that when you reverted the regional map you removed Palatka and left Palm Coast. Mathew105601 (talk) 21:31, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
I agree with your assessment. I sometimes let my personal preferences take control, especial when I go on an editing spree. I end up getting a message from you shortly after. I need to be reeled in sometimes. I will keep an eye out for more sources, but honestly it is not the most pressing issue. I have limited time to edit and I always have a list of things I want update or add. This is just one more on this list. I hope I don't come across as an ass. I forget that there is a person on the other side of this screen. I do appreciate the input. Mathew105601 (talk) 21:34, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 26Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:11, 26 June 2013 (UTC) Good afternoon Cuchullain, I am a Communications Specialist writing on behalf of the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners. As the local government body serving St. Johns County, our organization has a vested interest in the content written on the Wikipedia page designated for our region. In our efforts to provide residents, visitors, and external viewers with the most up-to-date and factual information regarding St. Johns County, we recently established a Wikipedia account to offer edits and improvements to the page. Out of respect and consideration for the rules and guidelines detailed by Wikipedia, we have made consistent efforts to offer content which we feel supports Wikipedia’s goals of sharing unbiased, community based, and reference backed information. Though we are extremely proud of St. Johns County and would love to fill the Wikipedia page with endless accolades, we recognize our responsibility to offer site visitors neutral information. We welcome any feedback on how best to balance these efforts. As an example, we would like to share the fact that St. Johns County has been recognized as having the number one school district in the state. There are numerous references explaining this recognition, how it was established, and what it means for our residents and the future of St. Johns County. With your help, we hope to share this type of County fact on Wikipedia in an appropriate fashion. Thank you in advance for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceilingtile1234 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
TemplateData is hereHey Cuchullain I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :). So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere. What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default. The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

This is now the oldest case at WP:RM and I was thinking of closing it. For part of my reasoning I was going to say that British language was the long-term name of the article prior to June 19. Here are the logs I found:
Do you know if the long term name of this article prior to 19 June was British language? So far as I can tell all of the June 19 actions were bold moves and none of them were the result of discussions. Is my claim about the history correct? I don't know any way to look at the edit history and tell what name was used for the article at various times. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:49, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
I think it's more akin to Canadian language , which redirects to an article about languages in Canada in general. And of course that's not the only reason to move the article. I'd certainly be amenable to finding a compromise. Basically, we have a language that is called three different things by scholars: British, Brythonic, and British.I now have access to more of my library following a recent move. So far I've found several relevant sources. The following use "Brittonic":
These join the ones I already named in the RM: Christopher Snyder's The Britons, John Koch's The Gododdin of Aneirin, several other of Koch's works on Neo-Brittonic, and per Cagwinn, Kenneth Jackson's seminal Language and History in Early Britain.
These join this work by Peter Schrijver I found on Google Books. Another, the Companion to Arthurian Literature, uses both "Brittonic" and "British" in the same passage, and a few more use "Brythonic". Several more use either "Brittonic" in a way that isn't clear whether the language or the branch (or both) is intended, and several others do the same with "Brythonic".
Dazed and ConfusedSince you were the closing admin for a relevant prior move discussion, I hereby invite you to comment in the new discussion that I just opened. —BarrelProof (talk) 13:57, 13 July 2013 (UTC) Your closing summary of Wikipedia:Move_review/Log/2013_June#Ana_Ivanovic (closed) did not address the substantive point I was making. If it had, then the comment you have place in the close is meaningless. Please adjust the close to do so namely that closes should be based on policies and guidelines not on a personal preference. -- PBS (talk) 10:53, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Neighborhoods of JacksonvilleCuchullain, your last undo was to a edit that I feel is needed. "Southside, across the river to the south", gives no point of reference. Are you on the Westside giving your first hand account. It needs a point of reference. "east" gave it that point.Mathew105601 (talk) 23:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
I really don't want to write an essay on this. I understand the point you are making, but it would be clearer if you used downtown in that statement or indicated to which side of the river you are referring to. You did mention downtown in the two previous regions listed, then you omitted downtown from Southside. When stating "east of the river", the river becomes the point of reference. When saying "across the river", one has to ask themselves, which direction. That's my grammar lesson for the day. I'll leave it up to you, I don't really have a choice in the matter. I edit something and you come in and reedit the whole thing. Mathew105601 (talk) 11:22, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
I do appreciate your reedits. It helps clarify my entries, sometimes. It does get a little frustrating when I've spent time working out a format and I post the edit, only to return an hour later to find all my data has been reworked. I know that is what wiki is about, but there is a degree of ownership and pride that comes with an edit. I've also been on edge today. Didn't mean to snap. I just felt like there was this glaring problem that was not fixable unless I wrote an essay explaining it. I like the new version. It reads well. Sorry I'm crazy Mathew105601 (talk) 20:49, 20 July 2013 (UTC) July 2013Hello, I'm BracketBot.
