Red King, are you able to assist me in adding an image to HMS Argenta? I was sent the image but am having trouble establishing its origin. It is clearly the correct ship. How would I upload it for your review and hopefully admission to the article?

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Irish head of state from 1936 to 1949 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Irish head of state from 1936 to 1949 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Scolaire (talk) 08:46, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

An article that you have been involved in editing—United States of Europe—has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. Oldag07 (talk) 15:17, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Roads in Ireland, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Belleek (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I removed a reference to Newtons being used to describe pressure here. You rolled back my edit saying "pressure is a force and is measured in Newtons". This is not correct.

Pressure is a distinct entity in physics, defined as the force per unit area. The SI unit is one Newton per square meter, called the Pascal.

Specifically in the context of centrifugal casting, where you made your rollback, describing the situation in terms of a force does not make physical sense. Appropriate units would either be a pressure or an acceleration. BetatronRadiation (talk) 21:28, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

I think the colours on File:Ulster counties.svg are appropriate. They are not orange and green but pink and green: pink is the conventional colour for showing the United Kingdom (and the British Empire) on maps. You are of course free to produce a version with a similar name and with whatever colour combination you wish.Hogweard (talk) 18:04, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello Red King I was thinking this hyperlink may be a good addition on the above issue Map of Ulster Colours [] I edited this page [] and it was undone and described as vandalism. My idea was to explain the reason for the historic map convention of Pink for the commonwealth. No rush at all to reply, I'm on a go slow study/phase. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eimhin de Róiste (talk • contribs) 17:36, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

A better alternative source link I wanted a source to show it was a solution from the publishers to make the make easier to read. Sorry I see I'm trying to run again. Should I drop this or is it a good idea, explaining the pink colouring convention? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eimhin de Róiste (talk • contribs) 18:11, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

{{rto|Eimhin de Róiste]], I can't think of any reason to get into such detail in any article on Wikipedia unless it were one about the map itself. Yes, drop it. --Red King (talk) 18:45, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

On Irish_backstop, Earwig's Copyvio Detector, on September 9, 2019, shows ″Violation Possible 41.9%″.

• https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu-negotiator-idUKKCN1PO2IE - 41.9%. So needs to quickly rephrase or article may be deleted (see WP:COPYVIO). I am not admin, just writing there and noticed. Who is interested in the article may try to rephrase while some admin have not deleted it. I put notice about copyvio also on Talk:Irish backstop.

Hello Red King thank you for your interest in my edit which was to make the first usage Éire on the page "Names of the Irish state. I linked to the wiki page explaining the term Éire could you please explain why you undid my edit. Many thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eimhin de Róiste (talk • contribs) 20:50, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

@Eimhin de Róiste:, First, apologies for not leaving an edit note, but the mobile interface doesn't allow it for reverts. My reason is that I fail to see any logic in piping Éire, the name of the state, to s side issue about the word Erin. It is interesting but barely relevant in the context of the names of the state. Yes , I can see that some text about the name Erin might be useful but, per wp:egg, it should be overt not covert. Does that make sense? --Red King (talk) 21:55, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Oh, and thanks for querying it like this rather than counter-reverting blindly. --Red King (talk) 22:15, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Red King, sorry to clarify are we talking about this page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names_of_the_Irish_state&action=edit&section=1 with this link to here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Éire? I made a few edits today. I thought we were talking about the name of the state and the first reference to one of the constitutional names of the state Éire had no actual link explaining the name so I linked to the wiki that explains that. I'm confused by your references to Erin have I made a mistake I'm not sure what Erin is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eimhin de Róiste (talk • contribs) 22:53, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

@Eimhin de Róiste:, first, yes it should have been linked but – perhaps it was an error – you linked to Éire#Difference between Éire and Erin, that was why I reverted. Is that it? --Red King (talk) 23:14, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Ooops yeah that was what I was trying to do, I put in the wrong link, so sorry, thanks so much for helping me out. If you don't mind I'll put in the link to the actual Éire page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Éire OMG such a shocking error, Thanks so much for the help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eimhin de Róiste (talk • contribs) 23:22, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

No worries, we've all had such a moment. Anyway, no need, I have already done it. --Red King (talk) 00:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

You are essentially undoing my revisions from just an hour or so ago capitalizing section headers ... and I'm glad you are. I've had a chance to review MOS:CAPS and I now realize these headers must be written in sentence case (except for proper nouns). Do accept my apologies for the trouble. Cheers and happy editing. PubliusJ (talk) 00:40, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

@PubliusJ:, you are an honourable person to have 'fessed up. I just assumed that it was an error by one of the many new editors who had piled in. No worries. --Red King (talk) 00:45, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Many thanks for your well-considered contributions there. I quite accept that "it has been suggested" is an imperfect form of words, and I often find myself trying to reframe passive sentences as active ones. But I think it's a stretch to claim that "passive voice is deprecated". The main reason to reframe sentences is to make them shorter and clearer, not to fulfil some blind grammatical rule. There are still many instances where we need passive voice. Anyway, thanks for caring about language and article quality. --The Huhsz (talk) 21:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

There is a discussion relating to those tables I started at Talk:Sinn Féin#First preference votes. Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 21:19, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Blocking minority. Since you had some involvement with the Blocking minority redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 22:22, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
