I'm curious about your userbox, and I wonder what is behind the deviation for Eire not following <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Commonname" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Commonname">wp:commonname</a>. Is is Irish nationalists wanting to make a point that Ireland is not united, NI protestants who take the republic being called by its wp:commonname as a claim on NI, or both? Sorry if I'm being rude, but I thought it'd be ok to ask with it being in a box and all. I also find the question interesting because I participate in WP:RM discussions, and this kind of problem crops up from time to time. <small><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Victor_falk" title="Special:Contributions/Victor falk"><sup style="color:green;"><i>walk</i></sup></a></small> <a href="/wiki/User:Victor_falk" title="User:Victor falk"><i style="color:green;">victor falk</i></a><sup><small> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Victor_falk" title="User talk:Victor falk"><i style="color:green;">talk</i></a></small></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Spideog#c-Victor_falk-2014-05-03T11:38:00.000Z-Ireland_user_box" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:38, 3 May 2014 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Victor_falk-2014-05-03T11:38:00.000Z-Ireland_user_box"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Victor_falk-2014-05-03T11:38:00.000Z-Ireland_user_box"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Spideog-2014-05-03T12:19:00.000Z-Victor_falk-2014-05-03T11:38:00.000Z"></span>There have been interminable, exhausting, and enormously tedious discussions about what title Irish articles should bear. There is an island of Ireland (article <a href="/wiki/Ireland" title="Ireland">Ireland</a>) which was <a href="/wiki/Partition_of_Ireland" title="Partition of Ireland">partitioned by the British</a> in 1922, creating a new statelet in the north called <a href="/wiki/Northern_Ireland" title="Northern Ireland">Northern Ireland</a>. Because the island and the southern state have the same name, Ireland, different titles are required to distinguish a geographic article from a social-political one.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>The official name of the state is Ireland, defined by Article 4 of the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Ireland" title="Constitution of Ireland">Constitution of Ireland</a>: "The name of the state is Éire, and in the English language, Ireland." (Éire is the term in the Irish language.) It is neither officially nor unofficially called "Republic of Ireland", nevertheless, Irish Wikipedia editor opinion was outnumbered in discussion by foreign editors who forced through the decision that the article about the state should be called Republic of Ireland, even though no country on earth is officially called that.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>(By order of <a href="/wiki/FIFA" title="FIFA">FIFA</a>, the national football team is called Republic of Ireland because for a number of years after Partition in 1922 , there were two football teams called Ireland, one on either side of the new border; now we have <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland_national_football_team" title="Republic of Ireland national football team">Republic of Ireland</a> and <a href="/wiki/Northern_Ireland_national_football_team" title="Northern Ireland national football team">Northern Ireland</a> in football).</dd></dl> <dl><dd>There were proposals that we could have articles called Ireland (island) and Ireland (state), but what we wound up with was Ireland for the island and Republic of Ireland for the state.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>There is a curious and fucked up policy now (I forget the name of the policy, but it is in Help) that wikilinks to the article about the state are to be coded thus: [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. This idiocy drives me insane on three levels: Republic of Ireland is not the name of the country; it is inconsistent to pipe two names for one place into a wikilink like that; and every time I want to create a link to Ireland, I have to type out the whole damned thing, instead of simply [[Ireland]].</dd></dl> <dl><dd>If you have a masochistic streak, you can find out where all the old discussions (fights) about this are, and read them. They will destroy your faith in humanity. I created my user box one day as a spontaneous cry of anguish at the absurdity and pure wrongness-in-fact of [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. Imagine if United States editors had been forced to accept that wikilinks to the article about their country were coded like this: [[Republic of the United States of America|United States]].</dd></dl> <dl><dd>I have no patience for this shit. It is a bitter pill to swallow – without being histrionic, it is a violation of reason and of self, and counter to the spirit of education of Wikipedia – to accept that the article about Ireland in the biggest encyclopaedia on earth is misnamed, and creates the false impression to all and sundry, including under-educated Irish people, that the official name of the country is "Republic of Ireland". <a href="/wiki/File:Usher_statue_-_closeup.jpg" title="File:Usher statue - closeup.jpg"><span style="color:#2424BD; font-size:medium; font-family:Courier New;"><b>— Spideog</b></span></a> (<a class="mw-selflink selflink">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Spideog#c-Spideog-2014-05-03T12:19:00.000Z-Victor_falk-2014-05-03T11:38:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:19, 3 May 2014 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Spideog-2014-05-03T12:19:00.000Z-Victor_falk-2014-05-03T11:38:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Spideog-2014-05-03T12:19:00.000Z-Victor_falk-2014-05-03T11:38:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Victor_falk-2014-05-03T13:09:00.000Z-Spideog-2014-05-03T12:19:00.000Z"></span>That's exactly the kind of thing that makes people say "wikipedia is made up stuff". It's locating the US article at <a href="/wiki/The_States" class="mw-disambig" title="The States">the States</a>, or the UK one at <a href="/wiki/Blighty" title="Blighty">Blighty</a>. It reflects poorly on the project. The straight forward answer from the policies and guidelines is "use a disambiguator", but one sees how "(state)" might be bit confusing, what with stuff like the Irish Free State and all. Also, as I see it, Ireland the state is clearly the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Primarytopic" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Primarytopic">wp:primarytopic</a> compared to the island, which should be <a href="/wiki/Ireland_(island)" class="mw-redirect" title="Ireland (island)">Ireland (island)</a>.

In your edit of 12 January you added a Refimprove tag to this article. In your edit summary you wrote "The bulk of the article is unsupported by citations". Having created the original I keep an eye on this article and I am sure there is room for improvement. But there are currently 41 citations so I can't see how you arrived at your conclusion. That said, I'd be happy to source references for those parts of the article you see as deficient. So when time permits I'd be grateful if you could let me know what gaps you believe need to be filled.

At that time I followed various links associated with the banning and found an extensive bog of detail, so much of it that I merely skimmed it to get the gist. So many editors piled in from multiple directions that it was like watching a pack of hyenas bringing down a giraffe. I was forced to bail out before I could even decide if such a prolific contributor even "deserved" something as harsh as banning.</dd> <dd>As I wrote in my appreciation of her on her talk page, "I have not tried to read all of the vast quantity of legal-forensic argument pertaining to this incident (I value my mental health)" and added "As wonderful as the project is, it is also at times a lunatic asylum of disputation and rows cunningly designed to wreck anyone's delicate psychology – the Hell of Wikipedia." (I very dimly recall you were embroiled in time-consuming wrangling years ago over Northern Ireland or Irish nationalism – or something! – so I imagine you carry your own WikiScars.)</dd> <dd>With so much more time having passed, my memory of events from that skimming has grown vague. This is compounded by my summer head cold which I've had for two weeks and which, by now, has ground me down, so my brain is even foggier than usual.</dd> <dd>Having said that, one suggestion I have is to look at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SmallCat_dispute" title="Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SmallCat dispute">Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SmallCat dispute</a>, particularly the <b>Remedies</b> section, further down.</dd> <dd>I cannot remember if that was the only dispute she was embroiled in at the time which led to her banning. There was a huge – overwhelming, really – amount of disputation by many editors, and it did my bleedin nut in.</dd> <dd>Her latest talk page archive (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:BrownHairedGirl/Archive/Archive_077" title="User talk:BrownHairedGirl/Archive/Archive 077">Archive 077</a>) provides further clues. Note in particular her posts <b>Withdrawal from the SmallCat case</b>, <b>Semi-retired</b>, and <b>Over and out</b>. Also, many other editors posted appreciations of <a href="/wiki/User:BrownHairedGirl" title="User:BrownHairedGirl"><span style="font-variant:small-caps"><span style="color:#663200;">Brown</span>HairedGirl</span></a> on that archive page before my belated remarks on her current talk page.</dd> <dd>Finally, you could use <a href="/wiki/Special:EmailUser/BrownHairedGirl" title="Special:EmailUser/BrownHairedGirl">this link</a> to e-mail your thoughts to her (no-one knows if she still reads her talk page).

What were you before you were a robin?! I have been only fleetingly engaged with Wiki for the past many years but was somewhat shocked that someone of the history and pedigree of BHG could be banned. As someone who was blocked/banned several times back in the heady days of nearly 20 years ago, I am very contemptuous of the "legal" system on Wiki. It has become even worse and more draconian than it was back in my time of trouble.
