Sticky prods

Hi Joe Decker'! You participated earlier in the sticky prod workshop. The sticky prods are now in use, but there are still a few points of contention.
There are now a few proposals on the table to conclude the process. I encourage your input, whatever it might be. Thanks. --Maurreen (talk) 06:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

• Also, please remember you are encouraged to look for sources before using the BLP PROD. Antonia Carter has a TV show and has given more interviews than I can count... Please try do a basic search before using the BLP PROD. Hobit (talk) 02:30, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Colm Kiernan

Hi Joe, Thanks for looking at my page on Colm Kiernan and starting my talk page. I do have a problem but it is not with you, but I don't know how to fix it, or what to do about it. I put a {{helpme}} on my talk page, but so far have had no response. It is to do with a separate page, though connected, and I have pasted my problem below

Deaths in March 2010

Colm Kiernan happened to be born in London, to Irish parents. He spent his childhood in Ireland and grew up in Ireland and spent his adulthood mostly in Australia, though there were several years spent in Ireland as an adult too. His names are Irish and he certainly never considered himself British. If he ever had to say it, he would say he happened to be born in England but was Irish-Australian. There is a page in wikipedia devoted to Irish Australians, and many of these were his friends and he has written about them. In generations previous to his, the Irish hated the English, but his father was the first Irish Ambassador and worked harmoniously with the English. I keep deleting it, because he never considered himself British and would have been very offended to have that written there. Why does it need to be there at all? Thanks Margaretjhamilton (talk) 06:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

So where a person is born, is not necessarily their nationality, or how they identified themselves, and is really only a minor detail about some people - almost an accident of fate. Colm Kiernan travelled on an Australian passport, but everything else about him was Irish, including a very strong Irish accent. I have tried to delete British born, several times, but they keep putting it back and the comments are not helpful, but I don't know where or how to comment back. I would prefer it not there at all, but if it really has to be there, why can't it be English-born? Thanks, Margaret Margaretjhamilton (talk) 11:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your comments and help. I've decided to leave it be, and hope it goes unnoticed, rather than stirring up old battles. As for the helpme - I copied it, and didn't realise the tab turned it off !! Thanks again. Margaretjhamilton (talk) 08:16, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
