Talk:St Piran's Day

message: Needs more information - Can anyone help me provide examples of the events that occur across Cornwall ??
I'm not editing it in, but essentially there's mostly just clog dancing and getting drunk. The vast majority of events in Cornwall revolve around mostly just clog dancing and getting drunk.--84.130.190.30 (talk) 08:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Snowded, from insisting that citations be added, has now taken to removing citations which contradict the POV he is trying to impose on the article. DuncanHill (talk) 15:37, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Choose one of them Duncan, three is excessive and stop making silly accusations against other editors. You need to learn to address content issues and realise that you may be asked to justify positions and provide citations.  Its pretty much 101 Wikipedia --Snowded TALK  22:06, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You haven't provided any citations, nor justified your position. AJRG (talk) 22:12, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I removed and then fact tagged uncited material, now its cited.  I am not aware that such action requires citations, or what they would relate to.  --Snowded TALK  22:15, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: When you removed citations, what Wikipedia policy did you believe yourself to be applying? AJRG (talk) 22:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Snowded, in contentious areas, multiple independent references are preferable to single references. Removing references when you have previously demanded them is disruptive and unhelpful. Giving untrue edit summaries, as you did the second time you removed the references, is also unhelpful. DuncanHill (talk) 22:17, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That is the case only where there are long term edit wars.  Where a fact tag is inserted and responded to one is enough.  Oh and I am sorry I confused the earlier Mirror reference with the BBC one at the end of list, shock horror.  --Snowded TALK  22:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There are long-term edit wars relating to the description of Cornwall and the Cornish people. That's one reason why multiple, independent citations are well worthwhile here. DuncanHill (talk) 22:28, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No long term edit wars on this page that I can see.  You have one brief mention in a national newspaper (but not a broadsheet), one local newspaper reference and a party political web site.  Aside from the fact that you don't need three, two of those are really weak and damage your case.  --Snowded TALK  22:31, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No Snowded - you were having a debate elsewhere and it was in your interests there to remove the "national day" from this article, which you did. Now citations have been supplied, you now want the wikilink to national day removed, and you want to remove some of the citations. That is profoundly dishonest editing on your part. DuncanHill (talk) 22:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "Weak" based on whose judgement? --Joowwww (talk) 22:38, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Duncan you really need to stop these accusations you know.  Try reading WP:AGF.  I removed the wiki linked national day as the description on that page did not match St Piran's day.  When you reinserted it I fact tagged.  You have now got a citation which supports local use but not the pipelink.  Its also simply wikipedia style not to have multiple references.  You really seem to have a problem with contributing without making accusations against other editors (not just here).  I recommend paying attention to your behaviour here.  Many another editor would have made an "AGF" report for "profoundly dishonest".  --Snowded TALK  23:01, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You said you wanted refs - they were supplied. An editor in good faith in such a situation would say "thank you" and leave it at that. Instead, you try to remove the refs. DuncanHill (talk) 23:08, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I said that you only needed one and trimmed them down, I did not "remove the refs", I removed the excessive referencing, and suggest you trim them down to one anyway.    I really suggest you withdraw your "dishonest" remark while you have the opportunity  --Snowded TALK  23:15, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You did remove the references (diff).  Your statement above that you did not is at variance with the facts. AJRG (talk) 23:28, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I reduced the number of references to one AJRG, try and keep up.  --Snowded TALK  23:36, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Keep it civil. --Joowwww (talk) 23:39, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

text: "While I have the opportunity"? What is that supposed to mean? DuncanHill (talk) 23:19, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:   Having the common decency to withdraw an unwarranted personal attack would be good practice, doing it now close to the incident would indicate that it was not malicious and could easily be forgotten and forgiven. --Snowded TALK  23:36, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
