Balmoral Unionist

Welcome!

Hello, Balmoral Unionist, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for Belfast. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Please try and avoid a Unionist point of view (or any other point-of-view, for that matter!) I've addressed your concerns at Talk:Belfast: basically, English is not the only language used in the UK (indeed, it isn't even an official language - the UK has no official languages, although Scotland, Wales, and - I believe - Northern Ireland have official languages - like Irish Gaelic - at a regional assembly level).

It also isn't a terribly good idea to describe good faith edits as vandalism.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Cushendall, you may be blocked from editing. O Fenian (talk) 17:53, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Belfast. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. O Fenian (talk) 17:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Belfast. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. O Fenian (talk) 17:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Cushendall‎, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. O Fenian (talk) 17:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Could you also try and avoid using terms like "Appeasing Irish terrorists and Fenians?" on article talk pages?

All editors need to appease all other editors - even editors like me who could care less about Northern Irish politics, Unionism or Irish Republicanism. There is a consensus across all UK articles, affecting in particular Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but also some Cornish articles, that regional languages should be used for location names.

If you disagree with this consensus by all means argue your case on the relevant talk pages. Reverting other editors and using the kind of language I discuss above is not acceptable, and will likely result in an editor more sensitive than myself escalating the issue.
