I would like to point out to you the three revert rule, which you may be about to break. Stop and consider your actions. --Domer48 15:43, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit war

You appear to be engaged in an edit war on the Great Hunger article. Please stop. Concerns about sources may be raised on the article talk page, and if this does not resolve the matter, the dispute resolution process may be employed. Continuing to edit war will result in you being banned from this page, and perhaps also blocked. If you have not already done so, I advise you to familiarise yourself with the arbitration committee's rulings at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Great Irish Famine.

[edit] Drochshaol

Hi, you continue to remove this term from the great famine article, without cause. You claim in your reversion that it lacks verification, which is untrue as I've provided qualified verifiable references in the Talk page, and a little effort on your part with a search engine such as Google would turn up as many references as you need to satisfy yourself.

• On the Talk page you make a different point, in that you state that that there's no source for it meaning "the bad life". I never said it did, but to anyone that can understand written Irish, it's a simple matter to translate as Droch = bad and Saol = Life. Try it yourself in your favorite online Irish translator if you have no other alternatives to translation. I don't know what your point is, but in any case, I didn't include this translation - but it didn't stop you reverting.
• You also claim that my second link doesn't provide a reference. If you click on the "more" link, the javascript will show you the link.
• You latest removal was on the grounds of WP:Verifiability. Perhaps you don't have access to Google - although you do appear to have access to the internet if you're reading this and checking the references I've provided - but 20 seconds of using Google will provide you with many references. I've provided two, where one is all that's required. The term is verified. Do a little research on Google if you want different references that the ones I've provided.
• Your final point is that Drochshaol doesn't mean "the great hunger" either. Again, nobody said it does. The point being that Drochshaol is one of the terms used, in the Irish language, to refer to the famine.

Finally, be careful about breaching wp:3rr. You've already been warned about edit warring on this article, and also be aware that you can be blocked for edit warring even if you haven't reverted 4 times in 24 hours. --Bardcom (talk) 14:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
