User talk:Rye 212Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around. Here are some tips to help you get started:
Good luck! P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes). When OrphanBots attackRye, those images deleted by Orphan Bot did in fact record their source (China Daily was one of them). I'm not going to waste my time uploading images and following all the rules correctly, only to have my work undone by either a rule change or a 'robot-editor.' So, if you want to upload a Maria Capovilla image, be my guest. By the way, you can recover the image by simply reverting the page to its prior version. → R Young {yakłtalk} 07:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Mr. Rye, I'm extremely irritated to find out that Orphan Bot also deleted pictures of Mitoyo Kawate, Christina Cock, etc. First, I believe the pictures are necessary to 'humanize' these people...not just dry text. Second, I don't believe these photos violated Wikipedia's policy at the time (hence they were up for months). In law, ex post facto states that you can't hold someone responsible for an act committed before the law was made. But OrphanBot isn't programmed just for 'new' pics. This is a complete waste of my time and my response will be not to contribute any further photos. Also, the photo upload process is very cumbersome, and with Google the #1 source of quick images, most of these photos coming from newspaper stories (where after two weeks, the paper takes the photo down and couldn't care less after that, never to use it again) and with my sourcing actually naming the source (i.e. 'China Daily'), Wikipedia is shooting itself in the foot. If you want to upload pics for these persons, go right ahead. If you can't find the pics, I can send them to you and you can try it. → R Young {yakłtalk} 20:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC) Rye, Just checking, OrhanBot was one of the most despised 'bots' on Wikipedia, perhaps the worst with an unprecedented amount of complaints. Among the problems are that it does not differentiate between real and imagined violations; does not present a chance to discuss a case, rather rending 'guilty until proven innocent' justice; does not respect the concept of ex post facto; does not make it clear what could be done to 'correct' the 'technical' error. Can you imagine if the law courts were run by a robot that executed defendants unless they had 7 days to prove their innocence? When you carry it to its ultimate conclusion, OrphanBot is a tyrannical dictator and Carnildo has been inconsiderate at best, instead of trying to correct its deficiences Carnildo links to the complaints as examples of 'stupidity.' The Editor's Barnstar I, Chodorkovskiy, present Carnildo with the Editor's Barnstar for OrphanBot. It has done much to rid Wikipedia of uncopyrighted images, as well as people incapable of following its policies, as evidenced here.

Jayjg 00:51, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC) Article LicensingHi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) Pope JPII and CensorshipI would consider "actively assisting" as involving activity that assists when the perpetrator knew or should have known what was going on. For example when the French authorities sent Jews east for what was officially called "resettlement" they were actively assisting in the Holocaust, equally the Catholic Church actively assisted in the Inquisition tho' officially when handing over people to be burned they said they should be well treated. I have put a link on the page giving details. When, knowing Tudjman was publically committed to genocide, the point of the quote, they gave $2billion, "not to be used to buy weapons" they clearly knew it would be used directly or indirectly to help Tudjman's genocidal programme. After Tudjman's death the ICTY said he was a war criminal whom they just hadn't got round to indicting. As regards the lack of coverage in our media - I am afraid I am much more cynical than you - partly because I know the difference between the lies the media have told us about these wars & the truth which the net now allows us to dig for (tho' there is rather more active censorship on some pages here than I am comfortable with).

Linking to images on foreign wikipedias?Hi. There is no way to link directly to an image on the Czech Wikipedia. However, this problem is addressed through the Wikimedia Commons. Images uploaded there can be linked to like a normal image from any Wikipedia/Wikimedia project. This gives an easy access of a lot of images for all projects. The only thing to pay attention to is: Only free images are allowed, the copyright must include permission for derivatives and commercial work. Fair use images are not allowed. Since the Image:Jirí Paroubek z MZV.jpg is free, i added it to the commons and linked it on the article. While doing that i also found a pronounciation sound file on the commons, which I also linked. Hope this helps. Happy editing -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your suggestion. I've added notes to the three British veterans who did not see combat.

Delighted to see your additions to this article — I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who thought that some of this stuff was worth listing. Well done with the changes to the opening sentence: I had been racking my brains for some neutral way of describing a phenomenon which I personally dislike, but which some TDs seem to list prominently on their websites. I suspect that if the list is ever completed, it'll be a very long one! --BrownHairedGirl 17:57, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Images on Maria CapovillaHi, the only remaining image on this page has been marked by your bot as having no source information. However, I cannot find any instructions on how to add the source information, does it need to be uploaded again? I have never uploaded an image myself, so I am not familiar. Also, I have read the links from your FAQ, and it took me to Help:Image page. That refers to the image description page, but does not say what that is. Also, I think an example link to a correctly defined image would help. I found the myriad of instructions to require careful reading, which I don't have the time for right now, but an example would help me understand more quickly. --Rye1967 01:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Desmond etcFirst of all, an apology, the unexplained revert was uncalled for and unnecessarily provocative. The problem I have with it is that is a fairly short pragraph anyway and I feel that the article reads much better if it was left in its original form. There is plenty of scope for a full length article to complement it without cutting the original I feel. With your blessing, I'd like to change it back again. Re the answers to the question on the 2nd Rebellion. The short answer is that off the top of my head I don't know the answers and would have to look up books etc. I'll get back to you about it. Jdorney 19:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC) Hi, I don't necessarily agree that some of these points are minor issues, for instance;
In the 16th century world, this was an extremely important issue. In contemporary thought, Fitzmaurice owed allegiance to his sovereign, Elizabeth I and rebellion against her was a crime against God (since monarchs were chosen by God). In the first rebellion, Fitzmaurice rebelled against the Queen's "wicked ministers" a common way of getting out of this problem when you really didn't like what the government was doing. In the second rebellion, he aimed not just at changing a particular policy, but changing the sovereign. One of the only way he could be justified in this was if the queen was a herretic and was not upholding the true religion. This meant that all Catholics had a duty to oppose her. That is the reason why the Papal indulgence and Phillip II's support was so important, aside completely from its military significance.
This is another important point. Fiztmaurice was a landless man, who hadn't been in the country from several years. Not many of the Gerladines would follow him. The Desmond soldiers considered the Earl weak and he didn't have a big personal following either. John, however was considered the main "strong man" of the Geralidines andthe rebellion only took off when he joined it. To illustrate the point, the Earl had only 60 men at the start of the rebellion, John had around 3000. This is the point I was trying top make with this sentence.
Another important point. The Earl didn't really want to join the rebellion and in fact originally tried to raise forces against Fitzamurice's invasion, but the English would not believe that he was not involved and proclaimed him as a traitor. This meant that he was placed outside the law, could be killed on sight and would be executed when captured. This gave him no choice, he had to join the rebellion. If he had not, the aftermath of the rebblion -ie the Munster Plantation and the destruction of the Geraldine dynasty, would have looked very different.
Ok, these are not key facts, but naming of alternative kings is again significant from the point of view of the seriousness of the rebellion - it was intended to change the government, not just to change its policies. Likewise, the 1000 pounds is an enourmous ammount of money for the time and place -showing the importance tht th English attached to catching Desmond. The head, similarly was a sign of disrespect to a traitor. The fact that one if th most important earls in the country was treated in this way is of major symbolic importance.
I wasn't aware of the English ships to be honest. I thought the paragraph mentioned Ormonde already?
Smerwick is near Dingle, but I take the point. However, on the other point, the Papal troops, about 6-700 strong, landed at Smerwick on September 10 1580. Carrigafoyle fell at Easter time (April-May 1580). Grey was made Lord Deputy in 1580 at some point, but I can't find out when exactly at the moment. He was LD by the time of the battle of Glenmalure in August however.
Ok. _____ I'm first going to re-do the paragraph in the overall article a bit, then I'll work on the Second Rebellion article. Jdorney 10:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Two landingsTo be clear, there were two seperate landings at Smerwick. First, Fitzmurice in July 18 1579. Second, the Papal troops on September 10 1580. Fitzmaurice originally was supposed to lead around 1000 Italian troops, paid for by Pope Gregory, along with Thomas Stukeley. However, most of them ended up fighting for the King of Portugal instead. Stukeley was killed in this campaign. So Fitzmaurice had to go about collecting another, smaller, force which sailed from Corruna to Ireland in July 1579. The initially established themselves at Dun an Oir, but Fitzmaurice then set out into Connacht and got killed in cattle raid on August 18. Pope Gregory sent the other force (about 600 strong) in September 1580, again mostly Italians and commanded by a mercenary captain, Bastiano di San Giuseppi. They were prevented from linking up with John Fitzgerald's forces by Grey and Ormonde and got stuck in Dun an Oir. William Winter brought up heavy guns by sea in early November. There were two days bombardment and then the surrender and massacre. Re the general point, yes I agree that the detail should be in the main article. My concern is that someone approaching the subject for the first time will need to read the overview article in order to understand the story and that it must contain enough information for them to get the whole picture before they can go to the main detailed article. Jdorney 11:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Second Desmond RebellionHi, I've re-written this article quite a bit and I welcome your continued imput into it. However, there are still things that need to be clarified and cleared up. Btw, I removed references to Fitzmaurice waiting for Stukley. Fitzmaurice knew that Stukley was dead for almost a year before the July 1579 expedition got underway. Re the clarifications; First, what is the source for this? "With the English adventurer Captain Thomas Stukley, Fitzmaurice planned an expedition which was to make Giacomo Buoncompagno, the illegitimate son of Pope Gregory, King of Ireland. This was supported by the English Catholics." I know Popes did sometimes have children at the time, but making an illegitimate son, let alone the son of a supposedly celibate cleric, King of anywhere would have been outragous by contemporary European standards. Secondly, would English Catholics have supported a seperate King for Ireland? It seems unlikely. Anyway I can't find a mention for this in my sources. Second, what happened at Naas exactly and when? I can't find mention of the killing of 200 Spaniards there. Not saying the info is wrong, but I would like to see more details and the origin of the information. Third, I feel that this is a bit unclear; "Sir Henry Sidney, the former Lord Deputy of Ireland influenced the response from his membership of the Privy council and in August 1580 a new Lord Deputy, Arthur Grey, 14th Baron Grey de Wilton was sent from England with 6000 troops". Does this mean that Sidney lobbied to have Grey sent to Ireland and influenced the number of troops sent? Cheers, Jdorney 22:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the note. I was unable to find verification of the Naas massacre, apart from the Kildare article, so after leaving it for some months, I deleted it. If you are able to find soem more info on this then by all means reinstate it. However, I don't feel we should leave contested facts in the article fro long periods of time.

KenmarePhysically exists, but is not notable enough to be encyclopaedic. In Western Australia we have a lot of rural localities (hundreds, possibly over 1000) between towns that nobody but the shire council and Australia Post actually know anything about, with populations edging on 20, no notable features and probably unencyclopaedic from a Wiki point of view. The only reason they even have a name is that someone drew a line on a map at some point in history. Many of the residents of these areas don't know they're in them, and refer to themselves as living at the nearest town (which would probably be Woodanilling in Kenmare's case). Distance between towns - 50km (30mi) is considered "down the road" once you leave Perth-Mandurah metro area. The odd such locality does get an article (see Congelin or Wilbinga) but they have a considerably higher bar than normal towns for inclusion. Note the List of postcodes article only narrowly survived deletion less than a month ago and is still under review. Orderinchaos 12:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe some sub categories would be a solution, because at the moment you have people who fought and died for Ireland in the same category as common criminal scum!

Daiyusha (talk) 05:39, 25 August 2019 (UTC) ArbCom 2019 election voter messageArbCom 2020 Elections voter messageThe article Phil Mattingly has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Did you know? Alcremie's 1000th edit was made very close to the 20th anniversary day of Wikipedia. 04:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Phil Mattingly
A tag has been placed on Phil Mattingly requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://allfamous.org/people/phil-mattingly-19851216.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
