County Derry
[edit]Please refrain from changing references to County Londonderry to read County Derry. The correct name of the county, and accepted name on Wikipedia, is County Londonderry. Canterbury Tail talk20:48, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Please refrain from editing my contributions unnecessarily. As you can see from Wikipedia:Naming conventions (settlements) the county is only required if there is ambiguity. Have a nice day :) Bjmullan (talk) 16:42, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- Also please refrain from removing valid information from articles. It seems that you are only removing the information (information you initially put in yourself that you only removed once it was corrected) because you don't appear to like the term County Londonderry, but I will assume good faith. Please don't remove information unnecessarily. Canterbury Tail talk 17:53, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Units of measurement
[edit]For the second time PLEASE refrain from editing my contributions unnecessarily!!! The layout of the article regarding Benbradagh is similar to other mountain in the UK (e.g Ben Nevis and Snowdonia) which ALL use metres first rather the feet. Bjmullan (talk) 14:48, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Generally Wikipedia articles are to use local units first. However I also see now that the Wikiproject on mountains stipulates meters then feet, so I apologise for the edits at my error. Canterbury Tail talk 13:47, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Please do not change this again. The article on the village exists at Londonderry, North Yorkshire. If you want to move that to the redirect page, please open a WP:RM. пﮟოьεԻ 57 16:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Rally Scotland
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/48px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Rally Scotland, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under thecriteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add{{hangon}}
on the top of Rally Scotland and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 5 albert square (talk) 02:05, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
File source problem with File:KrisMeeke.JPG
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:KrisMeeke.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:21, 21 November 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 00:21, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- Not sure if I've done the right thing but I have now uploaded the original to flickr and a reduced image to wikipedia with what I think is the right information to ensure this image can be use. To be clear this is an image taken and owned by me. Bjmullan (talk) 17:57, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- There's still a problem, in that you haven't added a license tag to the copy here on Wikipedia, and the one you put on flickr is marked "All Rights Reserved". The photo needs to be under a free license, such as CC-BY-SA (allowing anyone, not just Wikipedia, to use the photo for any purpose). Assuming you want to release it under a free license, you should add the tag {{cc-by-sa}} to the image page here, and change the flickr copy to also be CC-BY-SA so that there isn't any apparent contradiction. --dave pape (talk) 19:36, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Bjmullan, I notice that you've uploaded the image here under a free (creative commons) licence but on Flickr you have it marked as "All Rights Reserved". Probably best to change the flickr licence to match, then you can also upload the full sized version here - Peripitus(Talk) 06:30, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- I have modified the licence on flickr to Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.0 Generic Bjmullan (talk) 09:13, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, that's considered a non-free license. Free licenses need to allow anyone to use the work for any purpose, which includes making derivative works and using it commercially. The tag you've used here is simpy CC-BY - you should be aware that the license is not specific to Wikipedia; releasing it here under that tag means that others can use it commercially outside of Wikipedia. --dave pape (talk) 15:15, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - Grand Prix 2, current Peer Review
Grand Prix 2, sometimes known as "GP2" and sold in the American market as Grand Prix II, is a racing simulator released by MicroProse in 1996. It was made under an official FIA license that featured the Formula One 1994 season, with all of the circuits, teams, drivers and cars. The cars were painted with liveries reflecting the races that did not allow tobacco and beer sponsors (i.e. 1994 French Grand Prix). It had 3D texture mapping and SVGA graphics, as well as an early but realistic physics engine. A large community of GP2 enthusiasts formed quickly and still exists today. Grand Prix 2 is recognized as one of the definitive racing simulations of its era.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
PLEASE NOTE:

Twinkle abuse
[edit]Theseset of edits do not appear to be a reversions of vandalism, but a content dispute. You may be right that this picture is not from the Green Zone, but even if you are, it is not obvious (as you yourself noted in your comment to your first revert), and TW should not be used in these cases. Repeated abuse of TW will result in your access to it being removed. Momma's Little Helper (talk) 00:20, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- Got to disagree as did Willdow on the talk page for 81.136.205.56 or MuZemike who protected British Army because of the excessive vandalism by 81.136.205.56 and Alexboyo123. Also next time you edit a page and insert a new section it's best if you edit from the top of the page so people can see that it was a new section you added and not comments on the section above. Bjmullan (talk) 08:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- None of those edits are vandalism, per the definitions in WP:VANDALISM. The fact that 2 other editors got it wrong (or went by your misleading edit summaries and didn't bother checking the edits in question) does not change that fact. Don't use TW this way, or your access to it will be taken away. Momma's Little Helper (talk) 14:17, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- Have you read WP:VANDALISM recently? I quote: Image vandalism - Uploading shock images, inappropriately placing explicit images on pages, or simply using any image in a way that is disruptive. Bjmullan (talk) 14:21, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- That image is neither a shock image nor an explicit one. I don't see how placing a photo of a British soldier in an article about the British Army is "disruptive". Momma's Little Helper (talk) 14:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- Read it all and then please move on "or simply using any image in a way that is disruptive." Bjmullan (talk) 14:28, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- Note my comment above: "I don't see how placing a photo of a British soldier in an article about the British Army is "disruptive" - and, BTW, you we being equally "disruptive" by repeatedly removing that image, so you may want to think hard about using that line of argumentation.Momma's Little Helper (talk) 14:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- Part of the problem is some of us were even unsure if it was a real soldier. The description was very misleading and it was also uploaded by an user who is now indefinitely blocked. Now will you go away please? Bjmullan (talk) 14:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

British Isles
[edit]Please don't go around removing references to British Isles with inaccurate terminology. The British Isles question has been discussed ad nauseum on various pages and there is a task force set up. Consensus is generally to leave them in and not to remove it from the various articles. If you wish to change the term, for which there is seemingly no encyclopaedic reason to change, then you will need to obtain consensus on the various talk pages. If you wish to bring up a specific example, then the appropriate forum is WP:BISLES. Thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 13:36, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- I understand what you are saying and I should have been more precise in my language. It's just that the British Isles is a old imperial term for the collection of Isles and is not recognised by the Irish Government. We need to get away from using the term and replace it with Britain and Ireland or Ireland and Britian or as you did at Ulster to Ireland, and in the United Kingdom or the United Kingdom and Ireland. It would be nice if we could find a consensus for this on WP but I doubt it. Trust me I'm not about to set of on a crusade to change it everywhere but as and when it does come up I will be changing it to something else. A question for you then. What is your preference? Bjmullan (talk) 14:02, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- It is however still the most common term, is used in Ireland and by the Irish government (as has been proven many many times on the appropriate talk pages). Anyway the Irish government has nothing to do with Lough Neagh, and the term predates any British Imperialism. Canterbury Tail talk 14:05, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure that they had this discussion when people started to call people black rather than that nasty imperial term. "It's the most common term" doesn't make it right.Bjmullan (talk) 14:11, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Right has nothing to do with anything, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a moral compass. Canterbury Tail talk 15:52, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Just to correct a couple of inaccurate of statements, with the greatest of respect to Canterbury Tail. The term is used in Ireland, most commonly as a geographical term. It is not used by the Irish Government who actively dissuade it's use especially in a political or cultural sense. It does not predate British Imperialism in a sense, since the term was coined by John Dee who has been called a British Imperialist by some. Please check out the Specific Examples page for the most up to date discussions and where the Task Force is attempting to create guidelines for a MOS. --HighKing (talk) 14:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Featured Article candidate.
![]() The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and Glock's first podium finish. Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.

Dialling codes
[edit]For future reference, I shall point out that BT's area code lookup facility isn't a reliable source. Until recently, it was absolutely full of errors- see User talk:Eurosong/02x for the lowdown. For all I know, there probably still are errors.
Generally, if you want to look up a dialling code, please use Ofcom's facility. Ofcom is the authoritative source on such matters. -- Smjg (talk) 21:59, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Re: Civility
[edit]Thank you for stepping in on this issue. I can only apologise that your sensibility was responded to with such rudeness from Malleus Fatuorum and Nev1. Both of them are such accomplished editors, so it's a pity that they've resorted to mud-slinging of this shameful variety. I don't even know what I've done to elicit such a response! Anyway, thanks for your help. – PeeJay 22:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring at Ben Nevis
[edit]You have reverted me aginst talk page consensus three times at Ben Nevis. If you do so agin I will report you for breach of WP:3RR.Viewfinder (talk)
- You have broken the three-revert rule not me. Making an revert and then saying that you having taken it to the talk page is not what it is about. When you talk about consensus all you are talking about is YOU. I have put an argument forward (in the talk page for several days) and all you have done is reverted. I will not break the 3RR but I will edit again and you need to put your case forward next time. Bjmullan (talk) 19:48, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
With all due respect 3RR states "An editor must not perform more than three reverts (as defined below) on a single page within a 24-hour period". As I have only edited Ben Nevis three times today, I have not broken the rule. You will break the rule if you revert me again. I would also point out that several other editors in support of my position and none in support of yours. Viewfinder (talk) 19:54, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – Ayrton Senna, current B-Class article.
![]() Ayrton Senna da Silva, (pronounced [aˈiɾtõ ˈsenɐ da ˈsiwvɐ] ; São Paulo, March 21, 1960, – Bologna Italy May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver and three-time Formula One world champion. He was killed in a crash while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, and remains the most recent Grand Prix driver to die at the wheel of a Formula One car. Senna began his motorsport career in karting and moved up the ranks to win the British Formula 3 championship in 1983. Making his Formula One debut with Toleman in 1984, he moved to Lotus-Renault the following year, and won six Grands Prix over the next three seasons. In 1988 he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at McLaren-Honda. Between them, Senna and Prost won fifteen out of the sixteen Grands Prix which took place that season, with Senna winning his first World Championship, a title he would go on to win again in 1990 and 1991. McLaren's performance declined in 1992, as the Williams-Renault combination began to dominate the sport, although Senna won five races to finish as runner-up in 1993. He moved to Williams in 1994, but suffered a fatal accident at the third race of the season at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy. Senna is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One. In 2009, a poll of 217 current and former Formula One drivers chose Senna as their greatest Formula One driver, in a survey conducted by British magazine Autosport. He was recognised for his qualifying speed over one lap and from 1989 until 2006 held the record for most pole positions. He was among the most talented drivers in extremely rain-affected conditions, as shown by his performances in the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix, and the 1993 European Grand Prix. He also holds the record for most victories at the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix (6) and is the third most successful driver of all time in terms of race wins. However, Senna courted controversy throughout his career, particularly during his turbulent rivalry with Alain Prost, which was marked by two championship-deciding collisions at the 1989 and 1990 Japanese Grands Prix.

POV
[edit]You reverted my edits saying it is full of POV. May I know what is POV and why you should revert my edits? I am new to the site, so I would like to know it. Chuthu (talk) 11:01, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry we are guilty of using to many TLA's and assuming that everyone know everything about Wikipedia and it's policies. POV stands for point of view, you can read more here. Wiki is all about telling it straight with using emotional terms. So terms like great driver like Schumacher, unfairly and wrongly penalised and This erroneous conclusion gave are not acceptable here. Can I leave you to revert you edit? I do hope this doesn't put you off editing on WP. Bjmullan (talk) 11:19, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
Sandbox? What sandbox?
[edit]Your sandbox suggestion on the Gaza War talk page was welcome and I noticed Agada had stepped in, but now a cavalier editor has swept in to make changes right into the article instead. The war, it was all Hamas' fault. They used their huge arsenal to target civilians in towns. Israel responded in self-defence against the military targets. Sigh. The editor who did most of this has a history of declaring "Decisive Israeli Victory!" in infoboxes of I-P articles. Other, supposedly reasonable "Israeli-side" editors are standing aside and seem content to have him do their dirty work. I've already been reported to Admin for reverting the repeated tag-team blanking of the infobox's Israeli weaponry list. Etc. Anyway, so much for your sandbox. Respectfully, RomaC (talk) 13:35, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry RomaC for taking so long to reply. Doing any editing on Gaza War is so time consuming as your really need to be sure what you are doing and that takes time and lots of reading. I'm in agreement with your edits and my only aim is to raise the standard of the article in a NPOV way.Bjmullan (talk) 20:17, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm very proud of myself, learned how to spin stop on inline skates today (that's not me on Youtube though ;)). From other hand I saw a video of 4-5 year old kid doing it so maybe it's not a big deal. Adding comments has been disabled for the AlJazeeraEnglish video. Maybe for a good reason, if we take causality into account. Stay cool! AgadaUrbanit (talk) 22:43, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
1RR at British Isles
[edit]You are now in breach of the 1RR at British Isles, so please self revert or I'll have to bring it to the attention of an admin.MidnightBlue (Talk) 16:44, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- If only you could be as quick at replying to your unexplained edits at Cowboy and Denis Mahon. Bjmullan (talk) 16:53, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'll look at them later and respond. MidnightBlue (Talk) 16:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Eoin Morgan's nationality
[edit]Please can you stop changing Eoin Morgan's nationality. He's choosen to play for England and lines up to sing God Save the queen just like someone born in England... Nationality is not about someone's place of birth but choice - and choosing to play for once country country rather than anothere is a pretty clear indication of Morgan's choice. I know you're so full of hate that you'll never accept his national preference - but Wikipedia should be above petty politics. Don't change it again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by81.138.8.42 (talk) 17:49, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Morgan plays for England that doesn't make him English. Please see Eligibility to play for England. He is is an Irish citizen and you have been reverted. Please see the talk page for Morgan for more information. Also please sign your comment and maybe consider creating an account. Bjmullan (talk) 18:47, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Request for MEDCAB Mediation
[edit]The request for mediation concerning Israel and the apartheid analogy, to which you were are a party, has been accepted. Please watchlist the case page (which is where the mediation will take place). If you have any questions, please contact me.

Manor House
[edit]I've reverted you. You may be right, you may be wrong. I guess wrong, but have you forgotten, this matter is being discussed elsewhere as a result of HighKing's complaint. Continuing to junk British Isles is aggravation beyond belief. Why don't you leave it a while, eh? Mister Flash (talk) 19:30, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
- Rather than revert me why don't you go and find some reference to support the claim. How many months does this take? BTW what is being discussed is the disruptive edits without explanation by you and MBM, my edit, which was explained is within the guidelines of WP. I will leave it for now but without RS references this material will be removed. Bjmullan (talk) 19:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Enceladus
[edit]I agree that your edits are not vandalism, and I have so notified the nominating editor. But, with all due respect, they are sloppy. Enceladus is either the size of the Netherlands, or the UK, or the North Sea, or not. It would have been better to get it right first time; if different references give different comparisons, quote all of them. Or explain the discrepancy. But do not keep changing your mind. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 21:16, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Enceladus (moon)
[edit]Both you and User: Mister Flash have violated WP:3RR, but instead of blocking you both, I've protected the article for now. This partially due to the misinterpretation that the edits were vandalism, they're not - it is a content dispute. Work it out on the article's talk page. Dreadstar ☥ 21:48, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – Bruce McLaren, current Start-Class article.
![]() Bruce Leslie McLaren (30 August 1937 – 2 June 1970), born in Auckland, New Zealand, was a race-car designer, driver, engineer and inventor. His name lives on in the McLaren team which has been one of the most successful in Formula One championship history, with McLaren cars and drivers winning a total of 20 world championships. McLaren cars totally dominated CanAm sports car racing with 56 wins, a considerable number of them with him behind the wheel, between 1967 and 1972 (and five constructors’ championships), and have won three Indianapolis 500 races, as well as 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring. As a nine year old, McLaren contracted Perthes disease in his hip which left his left leg shorter than the right. He spent two years in traction, but later often had a slight limp. Les and Ruth McLaren, his parents, owned a service station and workshop in Remuera, Auckland. Bruce spent all of his free hours hanging around the workshop. The McLaren family homestead is located in Ngaruawahia in the Northern Waikato region and still stands today.

Moon consensus
[edit]I incorrectly thought I saw a commnent from you agreeing to the non-controversial wording I suggested here and reinforced here. Please let me know if you agree with the neutral wording. Thanks!Dreadstar ☥ 20:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Dreadstar I do agree that your suggestion is the best. Been off line all week so sorry for the late reply. Bjmullan (talk) 16:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- Excellent! Thanks! Dreadstar ☥ 18:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Derry
[edit]Dear Sir, Please can you tell me how you can assume me of vandalising a site ‘Derry’, when all I have done is replaced a misspelt word with its proper and official wording. Like I said on the top of the very page people should remember to keep their views and beliefs to one side when editing a web site that is being viewed by the whole world. Therefore I don’t think it sends out a good image when we can't even spell the name of a major city of the UK correctly. I'm not saying that I agree with either wording, but the fact that there is such a debate about this word, then why don't we go by the official word the word that the majority of people in Northern Ireland as well as the rest of the world know it to be. I have only replaced the word 'Derry' when referring to city or country and I have not replaced this word when this word if referring to something offical, ie i understand and accept it is called derry airport, and I understand and accept it is called derry concil, likewise you Bjmuullan should understand and most certainly accept that the offical name for the city and the country is Londonderry. Unless I have written information proving that the wording 'Derry' when referring to the city and county are official is provided to me then I will be lodging a formal complaint and if necessary I will bring this case to political levels to make sure that people like yourself who want to 'bully' editors that edit misspelt wording into correct English are brought to justice. I would be more than happy to meet up with you to sort this matter out if you feel unhappy about my reason for editing.Cbowsie (talk) 00:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Cbowsie
- For the THIRD time I will ask you to go and read WP:IMOS. WP is built on consensus and civility and I have not bullied you or anyone else for that matter.Bjmullan (talk) 09:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- Please respect my rights, which are 'I have the right to reply to a message' that was firstly sent to you and wikipedia has been informed, although this case is being dealt with I would still like a reply to my first message. How is changing a slang word such as Derry to the correct name when approprivate vandanlising. I would ask that you refrain from changing offical words of cities with those of your own belifes. I would also like to take this opportunity to indicate to you from reading many messages below that you need to accept by now that the name Derry is not wanted by the majority of wikipedia editors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbowsie (talk • contribs) 21:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
