I'll probably get the CIL building in Dun Laoghaire and the Granuaile II —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipedian231 (talk • contribs) 19:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:CILLogo.png

Image:CILLogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The infobox says one thing, while the article says another... 195.96.72.22 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 11:43, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date of re-establishment of light at Hook Head

The text says that the light at Hook Head was re-established by authority of King Charles II in 1657. This seems wildly unlikely. At that date Charles II was in exile, I think in the southern (Spanish) Netherlands, with no more effective authority in Ireland than in Patagonia. J S Ayer (talk) 01:59, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually 1667, per the website megalithicireland.com. J S Ayer (talk) 17:19, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

citation does not support this

The page linked to only traces the history of Irish lighthouses back as far as 1786 and makes no mention of a 5th century signal fire. Equally the linked page for Dubhán does not mention a signal fire but does place Dubhán's church about 45 km/28 miles from the sea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyc68 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Commissioners of Irish Lights. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20131013111549/http://www.commissionersofirishlights.com/cil/publications/beam-magazines/volume-24/the-evolution-of-maritime-uniform.aspx to http://www.commissionersofirishlights.com/cil/publications/beam-magazines/volume-24/the-evolution-of-maritime-uniform.aspx

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Baily vs Howth Head?

The table includes entries for both Baily and Howth Head; I believe the latter is an error. The only other lighthouse on the Howth peninsula is at the harbour, which is managed by Dublin Port, and is not an Irish Lights facility. If there are no objections, I'll remove the extra entry. jxm (talk) 01:11, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Go for it, please, this should have been caught before. Thanks! The Baily replaced the old light at the Candlesticks a long time ago and indeed no other light operates on Howth Head. I guess a better coverage of the Dublin Port lights might help avoid this sort of thing, but that's another topic.SeoR (talk) 08:49, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the change for Howth, which now has it's own article, and tidied up some of the others which are no longer CIL. As we do have a complete list at List of lighthouses in Ireland, I am not sure this one needs to be kept (and maintained) as well...Jokulhlaup (talk) 14:50, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, this article is important but the Lighthouse List part is redundant. SeoR (talk) 16:04, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've now removed the table.Jokulhlaup (talk) 08:51, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
