Probation notice
Due to your edit warring on Ireland related articles, I have placed you on the probationary terms available to administrators under the The Troubles. This probation self expires in two months from this time, or until lifted by administrator or community discretion.--Tznkai (talk) 00:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Can you show me where I have breached policy. BigDuncTalk 11:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- [4] here is a good start. The mess that you participated in out here[5] is another. You were edit warring. You were being disruptive, QED, you were breaching a number of policies on civility, disruption, and edit warring.--Tznkai (talk) 14:45, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- I am placed on probation for edit warring you have not shown me any where that I have been involved in an edit war and the link you provided proves that. I went to the talk page 3 or 4 days before starting the edits you are refering to, stating that I would be removing any unsourced content which I did all of which were reverted and not once did I revert back. As regards the incivility in which I was abusive to TU I hold my hand up to that but in my defense I felt I was being patronised and really should not have said that to him. And that probably should have resulted in a block at the time, but to punish me now is punative. BigDuncTalk 15:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- A block at the time would have putative. Blocking policy is a farce as it is. I have no particular problem with punitive blocks, I just wish blocking policy would stop pretending blocks are not used as punishment.Traditional unionist (talk) 15:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Notifications
There is a line or two at WP:AE#Other Notes that you should be paying attention to, and my unfinished report is here and your section is mostly finished.--Tznkai (talk) 14:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- If I could interject here. I think Dunc has been gaming the system with Domer on 3RR reverts and other things (although not within the past 6 to 8 weeks it must be said). However, your argument against him is almost entirely nonsense. You cite removal of tagged unreferenced paragraphs as serious! I'm always frustrated at people doing that rather than looking for a source, but to enact probation with this as your higher standard of evidence is just incredulous. I think there could be a case made here, but the one offered is laughable.Traditional unionist (talk) 14:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks TU much appreciated but if any admin asks Rockpocket I changed my editting pattern after consultation with him to stop this tag team calling that was going on. When RP explained how it looked I agreed with him and changed accordingly, yet I still find myself at the end of these sanctions. As regard finding a source TU I did I searched for 3 days for a sourece but could not find any and I did make my intentions known and asked any editors who could find them to insert them.

- I'm trying not to say too much about this because I think it's making us all look bad however I do have to say, as I've said elsewhere that you and I had reached a workable compromise on editing via discussion. Where it seemed to fall down was when I pointed out I didn't have a lot of time to find references for some tagged items and they were deleted. I felt a little aggrieved about that. My situation hasn't changed btw, time is still short for business reasons which is why I still haven't addressed that particular issue. I am confident however that if you and I work together on that particular article we can remove much of the political cruft which it currently contains and leave only what is necessary to inform the reader of the political influences and factors which are relevant. The problem at the moment, in my view, is that there's too much accusation and counter accusation throughout the article and that can be removed. The Thunderer (talk) 16:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
