[edit] March 2008

I reverted your edits to Republic of Ireland postal addresses and Postal code because, beside looking very much like advertising for the producing company. The system referred to is not a postal code system even though gpsireland calls it such. A postal code system is one employed by the postal authority of the country in question: An Post. This system may or may not become the official postal code system for Ireland used by An Post, but at this stage it is a product in development, so you edits are inappropriate in the postal code article and if you want to add it to the Republic of Ireland postal addresses article I think it need to be less promotional sounding and more informative that it is not a post code system and may not become official either, but I should tell you that other editors have previously removed similar edits. ww2censor (talk) 15:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Look you have reported on an aricle in the Irish Independent which was complete waffle and you as yet have not reported on an article in the Irish Times. No consistency - just once side of the argument. Not sure where your standards are coming from -

You need to put your message on the talk page not in the article .Garda40 (talk) 22:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

ww2censor - please edit the article to include a reference to the Irish Times article of 14th March 2008.

(edit conflict) Please stop adding the same edits to Republic of Ireland postal addresses. It is not a neutral point of view, you have a conflict of interest and the edits are unsourced. Pushing your company's product is also advertising and are not accepted either. So that sounds like four faults to me. Please allow independent editors to add properly sourced information instead of pushing your company's product that had not been given any official post code status by the Irish postal authority An Post. It may never get such official status so wait and see. Please also see my reply to your comments on my talk page. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Republic of Ireland postal addresses. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. ww2censor (talk) 23:38, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I notice that you have made more than 6 reverts in the last 24 hours, so this is a serious case of edit warring.

Understand why I have blocked but could not understand the rational of a self proclaimed expert on "Postal Code" systems who is willing to quote one paper and use it as gospel but not another. He has no independent opinion on the Irish Independent article but then insists on one for the Irish Times article. Also he is confusing geographic with GPS and seems to believe that a PostCode cannot be geographic. This guy should not be allowed write such articles and control the detail that goes in them. I noted your comments re using reference to my system as a "novel approach" - even this is an insult to technological innovation - in this age of technological advances there is no justification to putting something that is viable and workable under a lable of a novel approach - so was windows and now it is a little more that just a novel approach. There seems to be an attitude afoot that modern Post Codes should still only deal with the idea of postmen delivering mail. More items are delivered daily by courier/delivery service daily than by postmen and with deregulation in 2009 it is unlikely that the traditional Postman round will survive. Deliveries will be done by vehicle requiring a system that is both geographic and road intelligent with an emphasis on access from Public roads rather than propery locations. This is what we have designed for taking into account that most will use GPS - already being used by service vehicles, emergency services, waste management services - all of whom all require a Postcode type system. The argument that we have designed is not a PostCode can be made and I prefer to call our system a PON Code (Position Orientated Navigation Code) but who would understand this? Most people will understand that a POST COde is a reference for a property used to find it - not necessarily to deliver mail. You will find that in the UK now the biggest users of PostCodes now are not Royal Mail postment but rather SatNav users who navigate on the basis of PostCodes and not addresses.

I really feel that the author of this article needs to widen his research a little and open his mind to what a PostCode really means in modern life - he should not be writing such an article if he is not prepared to do this - this flies in the face of all academic research - I do know as I have a MSc in Navigation and teach in UCC, CIT and AIT and am an elected Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation. My efforts are the result of 30 years of navigation experience and 3 years dedicated research to a suitable PostCode system to Ireland - it is therefore an insult to have this labelled - "a novel approach". Do not mind being assessed by someone who has similar experience and given as much considertion to the matter!!!
