Get a load of this editor. Yes, it's British Isles Bardcom. This guy has had it in for the British Isles for a while now, but has been losing arguments about getting rid of the article. So what's he doing about it? He's delinking it! Yes, this anti-British Leprechaun from Dublin is trawling the entire encyclopedia and removing every reference he finds to the British Isles. He's been at it for months now and so far has removed several hundred links to the main article. There's no stopping him. Every reason under the sun is given for getting rid of the dreaded term. Some of them are quite laughable. Sometimes he claims OR, often there's no reference, so out it goes. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wacko.gif)
Funny thing is, it seems that Wikipedia is supporting him in this anti-British POV. A few have tried to stop him, but none have so far succeeded. Old Bardy has the world's longest watchlist - he watches EVERY article he's ever had the pleasure of removing British Isles from, and if anyone is foolish enough to re-instate it he calls them a vandal and threatens to block them. Not that he's an admin you understand. Not yet, anyway, but he seems lke suitable material. Oh yes, and there's the ad hominem (or ad homineN as he likes to call it) attack, that everyone whose had any dealings with him has been accused of. Right now he's facing an RfA and he's also had an RfC, but he breezed through that and looks like doing the same with the RfA. He's so far managed to deflect all criticism and continues on his quest to rid the world of the British Isles. Reckon it'll be September time when the main article doesn't link to anything anymore, then it can go as well. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/cool.gif) But there's good sport to be had here. At his most prodigious the old bugger gets rid of one BI link a minute and it's hard to keep up the reverts, but why not give it a go. Next time you spot him on a campaign revert his changes as fast as he's making them. You end up with dozens of simultaneous edit wars; it's bloody good fun I can tell you. But then you get banned, like I did. So do it as an IP. That really gets him going. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bardcom |

More BI edit warring at the "River Shannon" article. This time its the proBI crew trying to get the term inserted. Goldie! Have you been at it again (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) 7 reverts too! Naughty...
All the usual suspects + a few new ones. Theres one called Sarah777 thats a bit like Bardy on steroids, but Tharky and CarterBar turned up as normal. Wheres WMC when the term is being inserted to dish out blocks (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif) Or any admin for that matter. |

Yups, I don't see WMC, or WAGGERS, or BEN dishing out blocks to the pro-"British Isles Brigade" (bib), where are they hiding? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/blink.gif) THARKUMCOLL is off celebrating something or other with WikiWhistle tonight, so things were noticeably quieter because of that. I didn't see you mention GOODDAY, although he's on the mild side and goes where the wind is blowing. Interesting where this goes to, eventually? Bardcom is sitting quite at the moment, I wonder does he know what he's dealing with. That particular "BIB" don't give an inch. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif) |

THARKUMCOLL is off celebrating something or other with WikiWhistle tonight, so things were noticeably quieter because of that. I've been offline most of the weekend for a change, but see Tharky was busy editing some of the time (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) He seems well in himself. Hopefully we'll manage to keep him on wiki, he's not so bad as all that. If some of you can't appreciate his edits as what they of course are, proper edits, maybe think of them more as non-politically correct humour by means of the MMORPG?

(IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Even though I got on famously with all the pro-BI-crew, it is now reaching a stage where it is ceasing to be funny any more. Wikipedia cannot have a handful of editors do what they like, and then punish the other side for trying to create balance in the articles. I'm afraid that this is going to reach a head, sooner rather than later, and TharkumColl will be seen as a disruptive editor, as he was in some Muslin articles. There may come a stage when the project is better off without him. I'm the last person who would like to see an editor indeffed, but Tharky will have to be reined in.

(IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/huh.gif) I keep telling him I don't want to see him blocked and he said he didn't want to be. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) I've feared an arbcom but the editors seem to come to a grudging agreement on the royalist articles and so on after a while- Thark hasn't had the G2Bambino rows as often and there were some signs of some improvement between he and Bardy a couple of days a go, which I hope reimerges. As to this thread, feel free to snip, and I apologise if my comments offended anyone or I've posted anything inappropriate for the forum, I was just speaking from my personal experience. But I appreciate these subjects are always sensitive etc. This post has been edited by wikiwhistle: |

I think Alison is supportive of throll TarkumColl. As usual she is watching out for me, and she has blocked me again. Alison, have you anything better to do with your time than spy out for me. Get a life. There are some border guards needed in North Korea, not think of applying? You'll do very well! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

You've been causing so much disruption to those guys, it's just not funny. Yeah, yeah. I'm taking the bait again. Go away, GH. |

It's up to you and your cohorts to answer that, if it suits. It's a free country, nice try, but I'm not swallowing any racism from any quarters. We all know what happened in the 1930s when good people were brushed aside. Then stop throlling, and stop looking out for me, thank you kindly! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/huh.gif) |

Gold Heart, why do you still edit on Wikipedia if blocked? Just a question, as someone recently banned.

Gold Heart, why do you still edit on Wikipedia if blocked? Just a question, as someone recently banned. Firstly may I say, that if you have just gotten banned, and you want to get back editing, don't sock like I do. RMS who was the arch-villain according to some admins that you know well, is being "welcomed home" with open arms. So the trick is to keep cool. As for me, I have no interest in establishing an editing profile. Lately someone challenged me to become an admin within six months, but I have better things to do, and declined the offer. Why do I still edit. Lately I'm asking myself that question more and more. It galled me to see Irish Wikipedia being ruined by basically three admins, SirFozzie, Rockpocket, who were simply out looking for trouble, and got it. Most of the good Irish editors have left the project, feeling quite frustrated with the crap that was going on between misguided admins and insistent editors. It seemed that the admins involved didn't have the qualities to deliver a peaceful editing environment, and in fact added to the chaos. That left me very disillusioned. But there were a few good editors remaining, and really I stayed for them, but they are not editing so much now. Still, the friction between British and Irish editors remains, and little is being done about it. While the admins play Lego in 'encyclopaedia building', the 'eternal city' burns. Let it burn. More cyclonepedia than encyclopaedia. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/unsure.gif) This post has been edited by Gold heart: |

I was never really interested in the politics side, and rarely contributed to that side. It seems Wikipedia is more interested in rule making and sanctions than article contributions. |
