  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Darren Randolph, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Kosack (talk) 06:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)Reply


and who are you?

Apologies, seems I forgot to include a signature in that. Kosack (talk) 06:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Okay and how are you capable of blocking me from editing because I am fixing typos on wiki pages? Do you work for Wikipedia or something?

As the warning above stated, you removed valid content from a page with no explanation or discussion, hence why I added a warning to your talk page. You have been given three warnings in less than a month for the same sort of disruptive editing. If you continue to edit in the same manner, after a fourth warning, you can be reported for such edits and may be blocked. Kosack (talk) 14:31, 6 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

I understand, but do you even know why I am taking out the part on Darren Randolph's page where it says "Darren Randolph is an (Irish) football player"? Because he is not Irish. I am full blooded Irish and I take offense to such blasphemy of my country, culture, and people. He was born in Ireland yes but that does not make him Irish, I could have been born in China, or Russia, pick any country, would that make me Chinese or Russian? NO, I'm Irish, not because I was born in Ireland but because Ireland was born into me since BEFORE I was born and will be even after I die. Sorry, we can all pretend all we want, but this man is not Irish, he is of dark skinned African descent. What the hell? "Irish people" are an ethnic group of white people native to the Isle of ancient Éire (Ireland), we are an ancient tribe of Celtic/Gaelic people whose ancestry dates back thousands of years ago in a land called Éire. I can describe to you what our physical features tend to be such as facial structure, eye color, skin color, etc, if you want but I'll tell ye right now it sure as hell does not look like Darren Randolph! Heck, it doesn't even look like the French chef that works at your local French restaurant. Thats how complex our DNA is.

I am aware of the reason why you felt the need to remove the information as I have read Egghead06's talk page, however, Randolph was born in Ireland, raised in Ireland and plays football for Ireland. He is, for all intensive purposes, Irish even if he does not have a long line of Irish descent. If not Irish, then what would you say he is? Kosack (talk) 15:14, 6 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

You obviously were not comprehending what I was saying, just because he was born and raised in Ireland and plays for the Irish football team Does. Not. Make. Him. Irish. He is not Irish, he never will be. I would call him an African football player living in Ireland. I'm sure theres a much more respectful term/name, just anything besides Irish because calling him Irish is highly disrespectful to me and my people. Ireland is not like America or England where absolutely anyone from any country, race, color, etc can be labeled "American" or "British." The term Irish people is reserved for an ancient ethnic group of white people with specific skin color, eye color, culture, facial structure, etc.

I understood perfectly well, however I chose to discuss the nationality argument and to ignore statements that basically boil down to "there can't be a black Irishman". Irish is included on his page because he is an Irish citizen/player which is perfectly acceptable and standard across Wikipedia as a definition of nationality, if perhaps not ancestry. There seems little point in continuing this discussion to me personally. If you have any genuine queries then you can reach me on my talk page. Thanks.

Sure he is an Irish citizen, not an Irish person, and no, absolutely not there can not be a black Irishman, nor a French Irishman, nor a Japanese Irishman. And thats fine if you don't want to continue the discussion, if winning the discussion is your goal you never would anyway. Didn't ye mam teach ye to never argue or fight an Irish person? We're known for our witty tongues for a reason, called the fightin' Irish for a reason mate.
