I had an audiobook in my car last year, the title of which has completely gone from my brain. An autobiography - young boy growing up in Ireland as a member of the protestant Ascendency, however, he's not very rich, lives on a gloried farm, has several brothers ans sisters, a barking mad father, a long suffering mother; his family own an auctioneers business somewhere in the South. He had an odd chrstian name, one I had never heard before. Sort of plotless nothingy book with a strong "feelgood" value. Anyone know the title, so I can get it as a ref for my new page. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:GiacomoReturned|<span style="color:White;background:Black;font-family:sans-serif;">''' Giacomo '''</span>]]</span></small> 08:09, 4 January 2011 (UTC) |

Good edit
Brilliant [1]. I never thought of that. Giacomo 17:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
For You!

Giacomo, thank you for being so kind with me! Thank you for trying to understand me! Mbz1 (talk) 21:34, 29 December 2010 (UTC) |
- Thank you. There is a certain irony in that every day we are bombarded with a deliberatly photographed hypnotic-like image of Mr Wales (apparently seeing a vision) begging for money to support a project which fails to support those who donate the most. Your images are amongth the finest of anything donated to Wikipedia, yet Mr Wales and those claiming to be in charge fail constantly to turn those penetrating eyes to the fact that certain Admins, who contribute so little, apparently delight in hounding those who give so much. Not for the first time am I minded that Wikipedia has lost its way and become a playground for the power crazed who would not know an encyclopedia if it fell off a shelf on to their heads. Happy New Year. Giacomo 11:01, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Amazing innit?
Compare this with the recent unblock request by a certain editor posted on the same noticeboard? No replies to my problem, and the IP went on violating BLP until blocked independently of my report. Plenty of replies on the other issue though wasn't there? 2 lines of K303 13:16, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Well I hope you have more luck then me when you point out the strange goings on at Wikipedia [2]. These days, I don't think Wikipedia is the best place to solicit for blocks, extending them or retaining them. But when we have Arbs who prefer and encourage their secret places and chanels and courting their adoring throng on IRC to being open and honest, it can be no surprise when the little admins follow suite and behave in the same fashion. No wonder the ordinary editors like ourselves rarely have a clue to what is going on - it's all behind closed doors - Oh dear, there I go being "paranoid" again. Giacomo 13:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Houses in trouble
Wow, that's an ambitious page you've started! I expect fireworks! Bishonen | talk 21:50, 2 January 2011 (UTC).
- No, it will be fine; if it takes as long to hit mainspace as the last one did, The Troubles will be ancient history. Happy new year to you too. Giacomo 10:37, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, it is proving a fascnating subject and I am learning a lot as I go along - it's giving me a real lesson into the origins of The Troubles from both perspectives. Already I have had to correct and re-write hundred of my own false assumtions. In fact, so long as it remains completely referenced, factual and neutral it might be or real interest to all involved in "Irish matters". Before it goes into mainspace I shall ask two Troubles editors to read it through first for neutrality and POV. I don't anticipate any problems at all. Giacomo 12:07, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Appeal for book title from Giacomo
I had an audiobook in my car last year, the title of which has completely gone from my brain. An autobiography - young boy growing up in Ireland as a member of the protestant Ascendency, however, he's not very rich, lives on a gloried farm, has several brothers ans sisters, a barking mad father, a long suffering mother; his family own an auctioneers business somewhere in the South. He had an odd chrstian name, one I had never heard before. Sort of plotless nothingy book with a strong "feelgood" value. Anyone know the title, so I can get it as a ref for my new page.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on WP:ANI. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Not the first time I've had to warn you about 3RR, and I'm certain not the last time you'll completely ignore it. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 21:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
