Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of members of the Irish Republican Army may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

There's a lot of bad faith here and I wonder if, on such a sensitive topic, you could exercise a little more restraint in stating what you think the motives of other editors are? --John (talk) 08:14, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- By implication, that editor is asserting that Corless' daughter has been maintaining a fake social media/blog presence for years. They're relying on an appalling Irish Times article that is contradicted by the video available from the very same page and misquoting Corless herself. I think my conclusions are accurate.

- No, I said that Wikipedia doesn't usually consider Twitter accounts and personal blogs to be reliable sources, especially since their authorship cannot usually be verified; which isn't the same thing as accusing this specific Twitter account of being fraudulent. I just meant that we can't verify it, and wouldn't normally be able to use it as a source for a Wikipedia article anyway. As for the idea that the Irish Times article was falsified: my latest response on the Bon Secours Home talk page today addressed that issue (in a nutshell, the video doesn't contradict the text, and you haven't proved your serious allegation that Boland falsified the article). I would add that this debate is rapidly getting out of hand, given that you've been spreading accusations about me on three different talk pages. I don't know how many of these talk pages I should respond to, since we really need to keep the debate on the Bon Secours article's talk page alone. Ryn78 (talk) 00:46, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Can you please explain why you have reverted this page to an older version and canceled the additions made to it? Its hard to write a page if people keep undoing your work for no apparent reason Gaelmise (talk) 15:13, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
