Hi Weegeerunner I would like to add more contributions and edit Greg Di Gesu page. I hope to convince you it is noteworthy and merits an article on Wikipedia.

Hi Weegeerunner, my edit on Gerard Fitzgibbon was neutral. I removed an already biased opinion of Gerard's supposed bitterness and anger in the In Re Westby case. I have read this case, in the Irish Reports and Justice Fitzgibbon wasn't the bitter party. Chief Justice Kennedy attempted to stop a ward of court receiving a bequest from his grandfather to go to a public school in the UK, on the grounds that the school was in the UK and not, in his view, a bitter view, suitable for an Irish person purely because of that. Unless Wikipedia is going to be a fan page for Hugh Kennedy apologist the edit should stay. I also left a previous reference to anger/bitterness earlier in the paragraph alone, so that readers could see that opinions on this differ instead of the one-sided POV entry before my edit. Please undo your undo. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.17.51.143 (talk) 18:28, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Talking about someone's ignore is not neutral. I never said the previous edit was neutral either. I deleted the sentence about bitterness because of POV. That whole sentence was filled with bias. Weegeerunner (talk) 18:32, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I think describing Fitzgibbon's reasons (and let's remember, Kennedy lost the case/appeal) as being motivated by anger/bitterness is biased and just plain wrong, factually. He simply did not want a young boy to be deprived of a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a first class education. The article read as if Fitzgibbon was the small minded party, but it was Kennedy who was motivated/overcome by his narrow nationalist views. Wikipedia should not be a 'nationalist' only POV vehicle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.17.51.143 (talk) 18:39, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Actually, what you removed from my edit was my statement that "he attacked Kennedy's ignorance" of both schools. I meant that literally, ignorance not in the sense of a generic slagging someone off but literally as in lack of knowledge. Fitzgibbon was a Governor of St. Columba's School for 20+ years, so knew exactly how good it was and he had personally been to Clifton College, as had many of his close relatives, one of the old public schools that Kennedy was insisting weren't any better and were in fact worse than St. Columba's. I would characterize Fitzgibbon as sardonic on occasion rather than hostile, angry or bitter. Such as when Fianna Fail in government were defending in his court emergency anti-terrorist legislation that they had made speeches in opposition decrying in the most severe way. Kennedy had had a relatively humble schooling — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.17.51.143 (talk) 18:48, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Go over my edits, I removed that entire sentence. The sentence about bitterness is not there. Please leave my talk page alone. If we need to discuss this more and reach consensus, let's go to the article's talk page.Weegeerunner (talk) 01:52, 23 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Very, very few musicians are primarily known for being feminists. Either Miley Cyrus and Jessie J should be added to the feminist categories, or every single who doesn't directly sing about feminist topics like Cortney Love should be deleted from the feminist categories.

Circumcision controversies

edit

The original version was what I reverted to. If you look, all the edits are from the same IP over the last couple of days. Both myself and a second person agreed on the talk page that the edits were doing more harm than good to the article, since many of them introduced bias, crystal ball gazing, unreferenced non-WP:MEDRS assertions, and inappropriate language. I followed WP:BRD in that the IP boldly inserted new information, I disagreed and reverted, and then pointed to a discussion. Robin Hood  (talk) 21:02, 29 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Weegee, you might have good intentions, but the claim that Skyrim is a spiritual successor to fallout 3 is absolute bullshit, and if the author of that section had any idea as to anything related to either the Fallout series or the Elder Scrolls overall they would know that ALL of the Elder Scrolls games have the same general disconnect from the previous game--they are all independent from each other, but they all share the same lore and over all universe story-arch. Fallout is a completely different universe entirely, taking place in an alternate reality of real-world histories and future.

←== 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup == My dear @Weegeerunner the "realiable source" is the own match report, already in the article.

This why I changed it. Because when you read the article it says Jamieson scored, but when you look at the match report, indicated in the own article, it says Rubin scored. It takes the credibility from the article.--SirEdimon (talk) 21:08, 3 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

RFA

edit

Remember that RFA isn't a judgement on your overall contributions, but just about whether the community feels your ready to be an admin. You have made plenty of good contributions to the encyclopedia, and that can sometimes be lost at RFA. Don't look at the comments in your RFA as a rejection of you as an editor, but as some pointers on how you can improve going forward. We definitely need recent change patrollers to help keep the vandalism in check, and when we aren't in an RFA discussion, its understood that everyone makes mistakes, and there isn't a problem with that as long as you learn from them. I think you have made valuable contributions, and your heart is definitely in the right place, which is whats most important. Try not to let the RFA get you down. Monty845 03:03, 6 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Now that, I've calmed down, I think I should explain why I had that reaction. When a dispute happens, I try to forget about them while still taking what I learned from them into consideration. When I am reminded of disputes that I forgot about. I began to see myself as a Seeping pile of disruptive editing and uncivilly (probably because of my depression). This carries over into real life too, as I have a long pattern of making a mistake, and that mistake (and hatred of myself for making it) staying with me for a long time. So something told to me a while ago, like say battleground mentality, will stick with my and I see myself a horrible person and a horrible editor. Weegeerunner chat it up 03:33, 6 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
TL;DR version, My depression makes me feel extreme guilt and shame for even the smallest mistakes, on wiki and off wiki. Weegeerunner chat it up 03:31, 6 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Well again, nothing to feel bad about. We all make mistakes. But one thing you will want to consider for yourself, is that being an admin is definitely a magnet for criticism if you do anything but the most mundane of maintenance tasks. From random trolls whose paths you have crossed, to experienced editors who feel you have wronged them or their friends, and have an axe to grind, people will dig up any mistakes you have made as an admin and attack you with them. (You can get a taste of that with RC patrolling, but its mostly the vandals who are rarely as good at really getting under your skin) I'm not saying you shouldn't try another RFA once you have a bit more experience under your belt in a few months; and I wouldn't hold this discussion against you in deciding my !vote; but you should definitely consider whether you want the target on your back that comes with adminship.

Speedy deletion of Riya British singer

edit

Hi there. I'm Riya and started creating the page about myself earlier entitled Riya (British Singer) on the back of advice from another member via talk because there's another Riya (Japanese singer) and people keep getting us both confused AND Google keeps pulling her info when searching.

Anyway...I pressed publish earlier when I meant to just save the entry as a draft because it's not complete (hence the deletion I assume). Is there any chance you can reinstate it as a draft please? Or do I need to recreate it? Sorry for the mistake...

Also if you have any pointers on what I need to do to ensure its correct and the article contains everything you need them let me know as the guides are very confusing.

Many thanks. Riya. Riya 19:25, 13 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riyamusic (talkcontribs)

The Bill - Your note to me from March 2015

edit

Hi there Weegeerunner.

Many thanks for your note (19 March 2015) and my apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

One of the TV channels in the UK is showing the entire running of The Bill - it was a favourite show of mine back in the 90-00's, so I've taken the opportunity to re-watch... And it's from this exercise that I've been providing missing / additional information into The Bill pages. Now I don't kniow how to add an appropriate citation for this - what would you suggest?

Likewise (and you may think me very sad!,) another UK TV channel is showing the entire running of the X-Files... Just today I spotted an inaccuracy in the Wikipedia page for Series 1, Episode 19 ('Shapes'), so I'd like to correct that too - but again, how would I provide an appropriate citation?

Best wishes - Richard
