FYI
editI see on Talk:Martin McGartland that you think that the article should be deleted, well the process of this is found here have a read and see if you think that the article meets deletion criteria. My opinion is that it doesn't and the deletion request will get closed as Keep. Mo ainm~Talk 16:38, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
As the article is a BLP and the BLP in question is opposed to how the article has been written, then it should be either corrected or deleted. I have tried to correct it, but OF does not appreciate and understand the changes that are required to be made, as some one whom has worked in and with the security services the word "informer" is not the correct term to be used. the word informer means "a person who informs against another, especially for money or other reward, and agent is "a person who acts in an official capacity for a government or private agency, as a guard, detective, or spy" There is a total difference in the two. I am not the first to have noticed this mistake and i am sure i will not be the last, however i am not going to be changing the text again untill i have all the evedance I need. But thank you any way Mo ainm..--Neilduffy112 (talk) 17:07, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
You are restricted to 1RR/week for three months on Troubles articles
editHello Neilduffy112. Per this discussion at WP:Arbitration enforcement, you are on Troubles probation for three months, which limits you to one revert per article per week on Troubles articles, until June 7, 2011. Since the article on Martin McGartland falls under The Troubles, this limits your ability to reverse the edits of others. This probation may be enforced by blocks. It is best if you propose your changes first on the article's talk page before making them. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 02:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
