Please don't replace Commonwealth English for American English as you did in Provisional Irish Republican Army. "organisation" is how they spell this word in Ireland. If you look at my userpage, you will see that I prefer American English, but we must use Commonwealth English in articles about the UK and Ireland.--Adam (talk) 04:24, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Supporting Sinn Fein and the PIRA: Why?
Devin, I'm Irish; I was born here, I live here and am from a family that fought for Irish freedom for generations. Yet I have not nor will I ever support either the PIRA or Sinn Fein. You cannot support one without supporting the other. If you do not realise that its because you simply do not understand the complexitys of the Northern situation. The fact of the matter is that you live thousands of miles away, and to you it is just something you read about in the papers. It is not real life to you. For us, it has being an ever-present daily reality. To put matters bluntly it is like saying you support the Muslim Brotherhood but not Al-Quaida.
The PIRA are not freedom fighters. If they were they would have long ago followed the will of the vast majority of the peoples of Ireland. But they never have, because the will of the people is not what they want. They are militaristic, undemocratic, and criminal. Have you any idea just how deeply they have warped our lives with their despicable beheaviour with intimidation, kidnapping, smuggleing, protection rackets, punishment shootings, and murder via the gun, semtex and the human bomb? You cannot, because your comment show you do not know what you are talking about.
Still and all, you support Sinn Fein, despite the fact that they are not only supporters and apoligists for the PIRA, but many are actual PIRA members themselves? You are comfortably supporting an organisation that is fundamentally opposed to the will of the peoples of Ireland as expressed by democracy, and enforces its will via voilence, murder, crime and the proceedings of crime. How can you? How can you support people who stood by - and in many cases were - the perpetrators of acts such as Bloody Friday, La Mon, bombings in Northern Ireland, Ireland, the UK and Europe, Enniskillin, Shankill, Canary Warf, Warrington, Guilford, Bermingham, Omagh, not to mention the kidnapping, torture, murder and 'disposal' of so many people? Tell in how and it what way these acts are different from any other terrorist acts?
I would not for a moment have the gall to support an organisation detrimental to law and order, justice for all, freedom of thought and expression in the USA. Please, for the love of God, reciprocate. Is mise le meas mor, Fergananim 19:14, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

PIRA changes
Hello I left some queries about your recent changes to PIRA on the talk page for the article. Thanks Fluffy999 18:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
final warning
You have been continually deleting bot removals. If you do it again you will be blocked. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 15:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Blocked
You were warned to stop removing bot removals of pictures. Those pictures constitute a serious legal issue on Wikipedia and cannot be used. Hiding behind a sockpuppet to keep up the campaign is an abuse of Wikipedia. You have been blocked for 3 days for doing so. Given the potential legal problems that your actions may cause, any reoccurance may lead to a far longer block up to and including an indefinite block. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 15:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I am confused as to how I could have been bloked for Vandalisim. I have never vandilized anyones work. I hae edited pages because the original authors have put in factual errors or I have added things and sourced them. I edited the PIRA article, because Jdorney continues to revert it back to the un-factual article he orginally wrote. If Wikipedia is about accuracy, then I am confused as to why I would be banned from editing a un-factual article...particularly when I make sure to source my additions or changes. Everyone does this on Wikipedia, if I am going to be blocked for this...Jdorney should to, sine he does the same thing...or do editors get special treatment.
Another ridiculous complaint was made by SWATJester about the SAD article. The original SAD article was missing some facts, so I put facts from sources like Time Magazine, LA Times, Newsweek, and the New Yorker in. But I did not delete any of his work, I merely added to it...so I don't know whyu the guy is throwing such a little hissy fit. I have the right to edit just like everyone else, as long as I source my edits (which I always do). If people disagree with my edits, they can tell me in a grown-up professional way, or they can re-edit the article. I am more then willing to work with people on Wikipedia, but to be blocked for bogus reasons is a disgrace. I have obeyed the rules of Wikipedia, if I am doing something wrong, send me a message, and I will adress that. But I will not stop contributing to articles, that is the whole point of Wikipedia, if it bothers some editors like SWATJeaster and Jdorney...well, that's too bad, they need to get over themselves, and either fact check their articles, or make it so nobody can change them. It amazes me that these two are so petty that they block someone for doing the same things they do...pathetic.
- So you get blocked in part for engaging in personal attacks, so in response to that you request to be unblocked by continuing on the personal attacks.... --pgk 12:20, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
I should be taken off the block list.
What personal attacks. I have not once vandalized or attacked anyone. I have been blocked for over a week now. This is ridiculous. I am not going to aplogize for things I have not done. It is truly sad and pathetic, that Jdorney, and his friends are blocking me and making up allegations against me, just because he is upset that I have a different viepoint on some of his articles, and that I have the gaul to correct his articles which are full of innacuracies. I should be taken off the block list, since I have done nothing to be put on it in the first place.
