Dungiven Land mine attack

Welcome to Wikipedia. I note that you have edited the above article to refer to 'County Derry'. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Ireland-related_articles#Derry/Londonderry - "Use Derry for the city and County Londonderry for the county in articles. Do not deviate from this merely because the subject relates to a particular side of the political divide". Alekksandr (talk) 22:40, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Well, what about a compromise then, I'll use the Irish for L/Derry = County Doire Cholmcille, that way nobody will know that I've betrayed my people? Why do you use "Londonderry" for county & Derry for city? They should rename it Glasgowderry as that's a prefix both sides can respect. (talk) 00:08, 6 August 2021

If you want to propose a change to Wikipedia's current policy through its normal channels, then that is a matter for you. See Talk:County_Londonderry#Requested_move_28_September_2020 for what happened when someone made such a proposal last year. Alekksandr (talk) 08:23, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

The conflict in Ireland will not be solved here, but certain decisions had to be made or otherwise nothing about it would be on Wikipedia at all. You are free to propose changing guidelines in this area as noted, but it's not likely to succeed. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Troubles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Irish RepublicanMedia, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.

Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
3. Your requested new username cannot already be in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice. Drmies (talk) 17:19, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Well, Thanks very much for the warning. Strange you block me right after I create a great article in The Troubles & tidied up others. My Username is, the name of a website I work for & write articles for. But at least the facts have been added & that's the most important thing, and I do want to change all Troubles articles that have 1 or 2 problems like lack of refs & cites, like 1994 Shankill Road killings & Night of the Long Knives (1992) and I want to create maybe another 3 or 4 articles, I'll change my name to

Someone (you I guess) has registered BalearicSunrise and started using it. Since this was a soft block, and you've already switched accounts. We'll leave the situation as is. Cabayi (talk) 06:03, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet
