Hi. When you recently edited Colum Eastwood, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Irish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Big Four Criticism

edit

It depends. If Manchester City or any other club outside Big Four win the league the upcoming seasons, then yes, we probably could change or not need the section at all. But right now, I think the section should still be there, since Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and dare I say Liverpool (If they can get a better manager and players), can still possess a threat.

Jimmy Nesbitt

Hi DColt, feel free to edit the Jimmy Nesbitt (RUC) article if you'd like. I cannot add anything more from the Dillon book as Google Books is playing coy by not letting me see crucial pages regarding Nesbitt's role in tracking down the Butchers.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:41, 4 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Would you happen to have any info on him? All that's known is that he led the UVF Windsor Bar platoon on the Shankill.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:59, 5 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately any info on this character is impossible to find.I found a snippet where it's claimed Mr "C" in the Shankill Butchers book was his brother Colin Berry.I would imagine like most former paramilitaries he has faded into obscurity although still trading on his hard man history in the Shankill Road bars.DColt (talk) 19:38, 5 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ramble Inn attack

edit

It's interesting that the Pat Finucane Centre doesn't include this in their list of attacks carried out by the Glenanne gang. This seems to indicate that my hunch was right and Robin Jackson's Mid-Ulster Brigade was not involved. It was likely the Belfast UVF which had acted on faulty intelligence.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:08, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Raymond McCord

The article Raymond McCord has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created 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 ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Thank you for uploading File:UYM sign Ballymena.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 obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Replaceable fair use File:Jackie McDonald.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Jackie McDonald.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

My new project

edit

Hi DColt, due to the need for a group of editors willing to work together to create, support, monitor and expand Troubles-related articles and add images I have formed this following project. If you would be interested in joining, you'd be more than welcome. Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Northern Ireland Troubles. --Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:40, 20 February 2015 (UTC) Thanks Jeanne,I think I likely will.Although I'm still a little fed up with all the recent crap on here regarding images. Do you need that LVF image I mentioned before?I still haven't uploaded it.Reply

We need a group that will support one another's articles and images as well as create and improve existing articles.. Yes I think the image would look great on the LVF page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:33, 21 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you

It is people like you who make editing at Wikipedia a worthwhile and gratifying experience. We need more editors like you who go that extra mile to help others as you did with uploading the photo of Ann Ogilby's grave. Thank you ever so much. The photo enhances the page and it also showed that her actual name was Ann and not Anne. I have since moved the article to reflect this. Cheers, DColt, you are a gem and an asset to the project!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:38, 20 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Much appreciated Jeanne.It is a relatively small cemetery out in the country and her grave was easy to find.Your work on the Ann Ogilby page is relentless and diligent beyond belief.If the rest of Wikipedia had half your attitude and work ethic, instead of the petty and bureaucratic one they have then this place would be a better experience for all.DColt (talk) 18:27, 20 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your praise, DColt. --Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Brian Robinson (loyalist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SAS. 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of unsolved murders in the United Kingdom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ballycastle (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for uploading File:Raymond McCord Jnr.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:49, 20 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Violent Delight

edit

Hi Whispering Pine, seen your note from five years ago on the Violent Delight article, I do remember the band with a cringe worthy fondness LOL!. Regardless the article deserved a complete overhaul, as seen on the talk page I've added a header, re-written the history section and even added a discography of the bands releases with full chart history sourced from official charts. It would be good to get another set of eyes on the new version. Regards EL Foz87 (talk) 14:41, 6 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
