Talk:IRB

Irish Republican Brotherhood

Okay, so I'm Irish and my interest is history, but I still think the Irish Republican Brotherhood is way too important to be labelled as "Miscellanea". I'd go so far as to say that, along with International Rugby Board, it is easily one of the two most recognisable meanings of "IRB". Can anybody think of a suitable category, like say "History" or "Secret Societies" (not "terrorists", please!), so that we can bump it up from the bottom of the page?

The previous sections were a bit odd, with inflatable boats under "Technology" etc. I created what I believe to be better sections, but of course, other editors might disagree. --Muhandes (talk) 18:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think they are much better. May I ask what your sorting criteria under each heading are? They're clearly not alphabetical. Scolaire (talk) 11:55, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think MOS:DAB has some vague guidelines, but I guess I just use Random. Feel free to change the order. --Muhandes (talk) 13:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For the organisations, looking at importance in terms of article size, wikiproject ratings or "what links here" gives similar rankings for the five, so I have ordered them accordingly. The same approach works for the other two categories, although none of the articles rate all that highly for importance. Scolaire (talk) 14:49, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
