==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Kassidy]]==

A tag has been placed on [[:Kassidy]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{tlc|hang on}} to '''the top of [[:Kassidy|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Kassidy|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Swimnteach|Swimnteach]] ([[User talk:Swimnteach|talk]]) 20:49, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

I quote: "This is a relatively unknown band but has just released their first album". My feeling is that it's [[WP:TOOSOON|too soon]]. Have a look at [[WP:BAND]]. If you think the article complies with that, or that you can improve it to fit, tell me and I'll userfy it to your userspace (or someone else's if applicable) and other opinions can be sought. Articles by this title have been deleted twice before (as I only found out when I'd made my decision), but the BBC bits must be an improvement.

== White phosphorus ==

Hey Bjmullan, while ordinarily I wouldn't make a fuss over a revert to allow opportunity for discussion, there doesn't seem to be a valid argument for keeping the image in the article. If the RS that's the source of the image itself calls it a cluster bomb, who are we to caption it as anything different? Unless al-Jazeera actually changes the language at that webpage where the image's from and identifies the object in the sky as an exploding white phosphorus shell, [[WP:BOP]] demands that the image be removed. I'm not challenging your revert per se, but I do think the onus should be on the editors who want the image ''in'' the article, not on those who think it should be removed.—[[User:Biosketch|Biosketch]] ([[User talk:Biosketch|talk]]) 22:36, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
:Hi Biosketch, and I'm not challenging your revert either! I just thought it would be better in these contentious articles to give the discussion a bit more time to see if someone could come up with a better reference. If nothing happens today then either of us should revert the image. [[User:Bjmullan|Bjmullan]] ([[User talk:Bjmullan#top|talk]]) 08:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

== [[Jordan Grand Prix]] ==

In what way was my edit vandalism? It's established [[WP:F1]] consensus that we don't have flag icons or engine suppliers above infoboxes for defunct teams. That's why we've got '{{flagicon|UK}} [[McLaren|McLaren-Mercedes]]', but '[[Brabham]]' (no engine supplier or flag); '{{flagicon|AUT}} [[Red Bull Racing|Red Bull-Renault]]', but simply '[[Stewart]]'. If you're finding former constructors with flag icons or engines, it's an error on those pages and you should be taking them out.

== Ballymoney article ==

I think it is completly inapropriate for you to edit an article about a town ([[Ballymoney]]) in which you know nothing about and probably have never been to. As a local, i am therefore better suited to contributing to this article than you. You removed my Ulster Scots translation from the infobox, and removed the 'Local Name' aswell. Can i point out that although Newcastle in England may be known as 'The Toon', my town of Ballymoney is also locally known as 'The Toon'. I would like an explanation for your removing of my contribution. 

Regards  

Further Note: The 'soccer' team you are referring to on the History page is Newcastle F.C and has nothing to do with Ballymoney.

:A number of points for you to consider: 
::1. If you made both of the edits at Ballymoney which I have reverted please consider creating a user account and read [[WP:SOCK]]. 
::2. Can you make up your mind on what the spelling is (Ballamoney or Bellymoney)? 
::3. Wikipedia has nothing to do with local knowledge but whether the information comes from a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] and is [[WP:V|verifiable]].
::4. You may also like to [[WP:AGF|assume the good faith of other edits]]. 
::5. Please sign your comments using four ~.  [[User:Bjmullan|Bjmullan]] ([[User talk:Bjmullan#top|talk]]) 17:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

I think you should just f**k off, and stop editing articles about subjects you know nothing about. Can i point out that local names are not official, therefore a source cannot possibly be found. An example is Newcastle; it's unofficial nickname, 'the toon' appears on it's wikipedia article, yet it's not official, it's just a well known nickname.

:You are right Newcastle is widely known as The Toon and finding a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] for it's inclusion in Wikipedia takes a couple of seconds on [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=H8dWAAAAYAAJ&q=Newcastle+nickname+toon&dq=Newcastle+nickname+toon&hl=en&ei=sJfKTZb6Bob3sgaJ882TAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA google].

:: With respect Bjmullan, and despite the uncouth and aggressive tone from the previous commentator took with you, he is right. Unfortunately, he has a point - and this is in part one of the negative sides to Wikipedia, or Wikipedia policy. It is not written by experts. In fact, it specifically strives to avoid experts at times. The policies are absolute and remove the danger of creating factual articles if there is no information to back these facts up (usually the Big Bad Broadband). Thus, I can understand this person's anger, though I wouldn't condone his aggressive behaviour toward you.

:: It is not merely the football team that is called "the toon", but also the town itself. "Toon" means town, of course, and it is sometimes called "Ballymoney toon" (as is the football club). I have no idea what how the official Ullans (Ulster Lallans/Ulster Scots) for "Ballymoney" is rendered in English, though "Ballamoney" appears to be likely.

:: I believe I have satisfied the overbearing policy requirements to add this fact to the article, with [http://www.ballymoneytimes.co.uk/news/local/toon_girl_toni_goes_backstage_at_x_factor_1_1827394 an article in the Toon's local newspaper] online - the Ballymoney and Moyle Times. I will leave the link here and edit the article as necessary. If necessary, you could add the citation yourself at a later date if anyone else objects to this simple, but not globally known, fact. --[[Special:Contributions/81.135.29.171|81.135.29.171]] ([[User talk:81.135.29.171|talk]]) 08:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I took your advice, and created an account. Can i say that finding an Ulster Scots translation of 'Ballymoney' on the internet is quite difficult, and the only reference i have is an Ulster Scots Booklet that i received in the post.

== Your revert on British Isles ==

Simply demanding someone to "get consensus" first on the talk page is just not ''in itself'' a valid reason to revert an edit. Wikipedia would collapse if it worked on that priciple. The proposition of a reasonable 'consensus' (and what is that with this?) is so difficult on BI with 1RR, that the articles may as well be permanently frozen. People either won't engage in it any more, or they state that they are happy with the 'status quo' (sometimes for no other reason given than 'stabiliy'), while others fall into various arguments which go nowhere.

And all the while, nothing properly supports the article being so conclusive (ie "it is controversial") regarding the term in Ireland - and it only takes "can be controversal" to make it a reasonable statement. I've honestly never seen any evidence (beyond the select texts) that suggests that most people in Ireland care as much as a number of the regulars on Wikipedia. People would naturally expect evidence of widespread controversy to be unmissable for Wikipedia to even suggest it is there. Sometimes sources have to be verified properly to make sense of their context, decide upon their quality, ascertain weight etc. Of course it is very hard to prove a ''lack'' of something in the 'infinite space' Wikipedia operates in, and the 'burden' in the BI arena always seems to be to actually remove something rather than to properly support it. Esp with 1RR in place. [[User:Matt Lewis|Matt Lewis]] ([[User talk:Matt Lewis|talk]]) 22:52, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

== Derry/Londonderry ==

Hi Bjmullan<br>
I see in the 'Donald Macintyre' article that you have changed 'Londonderry' to 'Derry' "as per [[WP: MoS]]". I originally put 'Londonderry' not 'Derry' in the article because that was how it was stated in his 1976 book. <br>
I can only imagine that for somebody like Macintyre, from the mainland in the 1940s who served there and wrote about it in the 1950s, long before things like the 'Troubles', BBC guidelines, ''Guardian'' pronouncements, Wikipedia pages and so on, had no knowledge of the different spelling of the city's name. (He probably couldn't have cared less either).<br>
As I said, I was merely following the reference.<br>

[[User:RASAM|RASAM]] ([[User talk:RASAM|talk]]) 14:16, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
:No worries RASAM. The Derry/Londonderry issue has been going on for centuries (since 1613).

:I see someone else has already fixed it by using '''nb|Northern Ireland|union'''.

== Deleting BTCC Results ==

Bjmullan I decided to delete them because I created the Championship results tables with the race results included and also because I thought we didn't need them anymore and would save space on the pages.

I declined the CSD on it, especially after the last source was added from the Astronomy and Geophysics Journal (in a Harvard University website) that discussed the earthquake in passing mention. The earthquake may or may have not happened, but as long as it's discussed in reliable sources, db-hoax doesn't qualify.

:Reference added to [[Turquoise]]. Funny how you singled out that particular part of the article. You quote "I don't like it". That's a bit rich coming from you - you who most assuredly doesn't like [[British Isles]]. I suggest you stop your POV pushing in this area. It will cause no end of trouble. Stick to cars and we'll all be better off. I'll make one more point about British Isles - nowhere in Wikipedia, nor anywhere else that I can find, does it say that the use of "British Isles" must be inclusive of at least Ireland and GB. So please don't use excuses such as "not in Ireland" for deleting the term. If something is in England etc. then that's good enough for British Isles to be used in some circumstances.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:CommonPAS|CommonPAS]] ([[User talk:CommonPAS|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CommonPAS|contribs]]) 16:20, 12 February 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

You've got a bloody nerve. You should read some policies yourself then you might realise that there's nothing wrong with editing without an account setup.

It may change again when I save the note to you. Then you mention original research, and I've now read up on it. I think here you are taking to p*.
