The beginnings of Nano's mystery pea edit

It certainly is a mystery: would the author care to elaborate as to what this "pea" is please? Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatqwerty (talkcontribs) 18:38, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

This was part of an editorial vandalism spree, soon reverted back to "Nano's ministry". —24.191.101.223 (talk) 06:19, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

nature of vote Irish woman of millenium in 2000? edit

Who voted in this? Who else was voted for? I can't seem to find any other details. Citation for it (currently number 10) no longer seems to link to a specific source, just the website of Studies, the Irish Jesuit quarterly. I've found a free preview of the first page of the 2009 article here: http://www.jstor.org/stable/25660652?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents but it just repeats the same without any further detail, I don't notice anything else in the full text. Presumably this was a different vote than the 'greatest ever' one in 2005 by a radio station separately cited in the article https://www.irishtimes.com/news/nano-nagle-wins-title-of-ireland-s-greatest-woman-1.460064 Neurohz (talk) 05:32, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Just wanted to say thanks for cleaning up the copyright issues at Nano Nagle. I've taken care of revision-deleting the history, as the copyvio was quite extensive. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we could always use more help at CCI, whether you choose to make an account or stay as an IP. Have a good one! ♠PMC(talk) 09:57, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Glad to be helpful in a small way. What a huge mess can come from one careless editor! It might actually seem a little harsh to rev-del hundreds of good-faith Nano Nagle edits for copy-pastes that were all duly credited in footnotes though not in quotation marks – but I'll trust your judgment if you really think it's necessary. Thanks. —24.191.101.223 (talk) 10:22, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I hate to do it, but when it's so much content it unfortunately does need to be done. The simple lack of quotation marks and even the use of refs isn't unusual – most copyvios actually cite the source they borrowed from. It's just that without proper quoting, it looks like it's in Wikipedia's voice, so it has to go. ♠PMC(talk) 18:55, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough. I'll probably move these messages of ours over to Talk:Nano Nagle, so other editors can understand what happened. —24.191.101.223 (talk) 23:18, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
If you want, but it's a fairly standard process and you've already placed the usual template on the talk page, so not sure if any more is needed. Either way :) ♠PMC(talk) 23:56, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
