I have just modified one external link on Modern weapons of the Irish Army. 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/20101126082516/http://military.ie/army/equipment/weapons/weapons.htm to http://www.military.ie/army/equipment/weapons/weapons.htm

Merge?

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

Hi. A "merge" tag was recently added to this and the Modern vehicles of the Irish Army article. But no discussion was opened on either talk page. Per convention, "after adding the merge template, [the proposing editor] is expected to create a section on the talk page of the appropriate article [..] explaining [the] rationale for the merge proposal". Eurohunter, you seem to have forgotten to complete this part. Can you advise please what rationale is offered for the proposal? (FYI - If the rationale is for consistency with the likes of similar articles/lists (like List of modern equipment of the German Army), then I'd be minded to support the merge myself. But other editors might appreciate the opportunity to understand/discuss/contribute....) Guliolopez (talk) 00:24, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Guliolopez: Thanks for reminder. Yes consistency is valid reason for merge proposal. Eurohunter (talk) 10:17, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Thanks Eurohunter. I support the proposal. Specifically, the change I would advocate is merging the content from the vehicles article to the weapons article. Relabelling the target to Modern equipment of the Irish Army (for consistency with the equivalent French, Bulgarian, Brazilian and similar articles). And addressing any back-links (to account for the merge/move). If there is consensus to do so, I am happy to make the changes myself. Guliolopez (talk) 10:32, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bump. This has been tagged now for ~1 month. Unless there are other thoughts, I will go ahead shortly with the merge. Guliolopez (talk) 03:06, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved As it has been a month or more since the tag was added (and a week or more since this discussion was bumped), and as no other thoughts were forthcoming, I've gone ahead with the merge. The article title and content is now (largely) aligned with the equivalents. Like: Modern equipment of the French Army, Modern equipment of the Bulgarian land forces, Modern equipment of the Brazilian Army, etc. Closing thread.

Scorpion?

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

To my understanding the FV101 Scorpion is no longer in active service. Apart from the odd Tweet or similar non-RS source, the only source that I have found in relation to this change is this piece on tanks-encyclopedia.com - which suggests a retirement date in 2017. Certainly, since then, the Scorpion is conspicuous by absence in reports/whitepapers/written answers from the department. But "lack of evidence" is not really "evidence". Also, the appearance of several examples in "static display" scenarios also doesn't really meet RS. I am, however, tempted to remove from here. But, if anyone has a more concrete source before doing so, that might be best. (Anyone perhaps with sub to An Cosantóir or similar? Am sure they covered retirement...) Guliolopez (talk) 00:27, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bump. Unless there are other thoughts, I will likely go ahead and remove/update the notes on the Scorpion. Primarily using this piece on tanks-encyclopedia.com as the basis/source. Guliolopez (talk) 03:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved Not having heard any other opinions in several weeks/months, I have gone ahead with the change. Guliolopez (talk) 00:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of modern equipment of the Irish Army → List of equipment of the Irish Army – The word "modern" is redundant, except if there is another article titled "List of antique equipment of the Irish Army", which there isn't. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
