Ballygarvan
[edit]The things you added are alive and well and at Talk:Ballygarvan, County Cork. If you are wondering what happened to articles, click on the history tab at the top and you'll see. Mind you, the message I put there is complete bollocks, so that wouldn't have helped.
Anyway, if you have a read at the help stuff, it will explain how to edit Wikipedia. But for Ballygarvan, here's what you added:
BALLYGARVAN baile garbhain as geailge meaning place of garbhain and surrounding area has a population of between 1000 and 1500 residents it ocuppies the eastern half of ballinhassig parish BALLYGARVAN village itself is located in a picturesque valley between myrtle and meadstown hills next to the owenabue river roughly 9 kms south of CORK CITY and 2kms from cork airport just off the r613 cork kinsale road facilities in the village include a catholic church a grocery shop a primary school and 2 pubs the village also has a GAA club and pitch in recent years a housing estate has been built in the village attracting many new residents drawn by BALLYGARVANS attractive location near cork city cork airport and carrigaline BALLYGARVANS GAA club won the cork junior hurling championship in 2004 famous BALLYGARVAN residents have included GAA patron LIAM MC CARTHY and CORK inter county footballer GER SPILLANE Bouse23 20:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Most of the punters that read this won't have a clue what as geailge means, so it's better to copy the way it's done in the article now (([[Irish language|Irish]]: ''Baile Garbháin''), or you can use one of the confusing template things. That would be ({{lang-ga|Baile Garbháin}}). The bits where you've put capitals, normally might be put in bold, or would be links (Cork City, Cork Airport).
Anyway, I'll add the stuff back and polish it up. Have a look at how the formatting stuff works if you like. If you want to test anything out, you can use the sandbox to see how stuff will look. Cheers, Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. You'd be best to take a look and check that I haven't buggered it up. I guessed that Ger Spillane played for Cork GAA. There isn't an article on him, although there are on the Kerry GAA Spillane brothers. If you have a look at Pat Spillane, you could use that as a guide to creating an article on the Ballgarvan Spillane if you wanted. Angus McLellan (Talk) 11:11, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Carrigdhoun
[edit]Hi. I'm afraid the Carrigdhoun article needs some work, as described above. Deb 16:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Denny barry
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Denny barry requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- pb30<talk> 22:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Ballinhassig
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. Guliolopez (talk) 15:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Please stop "signing" articles. The signature tag (~~~~) should only be used on talkpages. Per above, it is not appropriate to include a signature in mainspace articles. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 16:52, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Your recent edits
[edit]Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 11:59, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Carrigdhoun Junior Hurling Championship, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 14:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Carrigdhounn Junior Football Championship
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Carrigdhounn Junior Football Championship, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unreferenced BLPs
[edit] Hello Bouse23! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 734 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Ger Spillane - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 18:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
JJ "Ginger" O'Connell
[edit]You created an article JJ "Ginger" O'Connell which is certainly useful but is critically in need of citations to support what is being stated. Presumably you had access to source materials to help you write it, so you just need to give these. If all one, then you could cite the page number. --Red King (talk) 23:18, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

The article Carrigdhoun Junior Football Championship has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This junior, amateur, sub-county-level (barony-level), Gaelic football championship lacks requisite multiple independent substantial RS coverage
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Epeefleche (talk) 21:20, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 23
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Botswana Police Service, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tswana (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The article Sibylla deen has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Paste Let’s have a chat. 16:59, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
I have tried to clean up this article (which you have created under the title Sean maceoin united nations commander). I wasn't able to, because from the article it wasn't even clear where one sentence ends and the other starts. Please, when you create an article, try to follow the rules of grammar: a sentence starts with a capital letter, and ends with a period.
There's also one more problem: the article cited no references (see the policy of verifiability). Since he was a high-ranking Irish officer, I am sure that such references can be found. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:03, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
