Population

[edit]

User 194.46.252.34 changed the population from 385 to 2300. I'm finding info. on various sites quite confusing, and it's unclear what figures to take. Hope someone can help.--A bit iffy 00:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep...I was looking at that edit myself...seems a bit iffy. (Sarah777 01:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
http://beyond2020.cso.ie/Census/TableViewer/tableView.aspx?ReportId=12479 gives 1863 for Bunclody-Carrickduff. (Yes, this is the same village—perhaps Carrickduff should be mentioned in the article too, but despite growing up in the hinterland of the village I don't know much about it.) 91.64.168.202 (talk) 20:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, Bunclody is NOT on the amin Rosslare-Dublin road. That road is the N11, not the N80.

Agreed. But the article doesn't say that! Sarah777 (talk) 00:16, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Location

[edit]

Co-ordinates shown agree with Google Earth and are correct, but location sited on map is (very) wrong. I have no idea how to fix this.--Yumegusa (talk) 23:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Querying change of description of http://www.bunclody.net to "Official website". There seems to be nothing on the website to indicate any kind of official sanction. --Yumegusa (talk) 23:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, I was simply cleaning it and arbitrarily changed it. By the way, just for the future, you don't really need to ask someone before changing something like this. Have a look at WP:BOLD :) --Schcamboaon scéal? 17:24, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the pointer. As a rank newbie I'm inclined to err on the side of caution rather than risk a major faux pas--Yumegusa (talk) 23:34, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reliability of source?

[edit]
The reliability of data from towns-ireland.com has been called into question below. User Yamegusa should have checked with CSO before removing information. From http://beyond2020.cso.ie/Census/ReportFolders/ReportFolders.aspx, follow 2006 Small Area Population Statistics (SAPS) -> Small Area Population Statistics -> SAPS Themes by Alphabetical List of Towns -> Theme 2 - Migration, Ethnicity and Religion -> Theme 2 - 3 : Usually resident population by ethnic or cultural background, 2006. Traveller numbers are given. Back up to Theme 2 - 3 : Usually resident population by ethnic or cultural background, 2006. Polish and other numbers given. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.109.40 (talk) 10:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.towns-ireland.com/ is cited as a source for info re ethnic origin and Traveller population of Bunclody. The website say this about themselves:

Using detailed analysis of the 2006 Census figures for Ireland we will uncover those interesting and strange facts and figures about the towns in Ireland. If you are thinking of moving to a new town or city - find out all about it here first. Employment , Unemployment, Housing, Age profiles, Ethnic Origins, Singles, Couples, Students, Travellers, Broadband Take up.

I have my doubts about the reliability of a source which appears to suggest that one should consider the number of Poles, Lithuanians and Travellers living in a town before moving there. This smacks strongly of racism.

However, less important than any agenda they might have is whether they are really crunching the 2006 census numbers correctly. As an advertising-driven website, their interest is surely in driving more visitors to their site, and fanning the racist flame would not hurt them in that sense. Is there some reason we should trust their numbers? If not, then they cannot be described as a reliable source, and it follows that info derived from them has no place in WP. Thoughts?

OK, looking thru history I see that section has been removed before by another editor, only to be put back in by the same IP that first placed it here. I'm taking it out now. Please discuss before reinstating, as the content is controversial.
--Yumegusa (talk) 18:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Figures showing ethnic diversity are hardly controversial. Unfortunately the CSO's actual figures are not available online any more, but can be verified at their offices. However several figures which are available on the CSO's website tally with those of towns-ireland. eg populations are correct http://www.cso.ie/census/documents/census2006_Table_7_and_12.pdf Towns-ireland seems to me to be a reliable source.
