august utc it is generally considered acceptable to remove personal attacks though there are some who disagree with that if when you remove a personal attack you are reverted then do not remove it again instead seek an outside party to investigate preferably on some sort of public noticeboard i really do not know the first thing about the ireland dispute and from what little i have heard i don't want to touch it with a foot poll no there are not different standards for different editors there is however a gap between the treatment of those who know how to work with the system and those who do not grasp the intricate details while wikipedia claims not to be a bureaucracy does in fact share many similar traits with a bureaucracy knowing the correct form noticeboard or procedure will take you far knowing the tone and content expected from said processes and presenting in that fashion will take you even farther it is a bit of a shame that such an advantage is given to those who know the ins and outs but it is the way things end up working here chillum
