Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on November 16, 2007.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that Irish actor Paudge Behan is the son of IRA Chief of Staff Cathal Goulding and Beatrice Behan, the widow of playwright Brendan Behan?

Pronunciation of name

[edit]

Is anyone able to confirm how the name of the Irish actor Paudge Behan is pronounced? Is it "podj" or "pordj", "bə-HAHN" or "BEE-ən"? I'd like to add an IPA transcription and respelled pronunciation to the article. Thanks. — Cheers, Truth's Out There talk 19:55, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's pronounced approximately "Pawdge BEE-ən". "Paudge" does not rhyme with "lodge". The stress is on the first syllable of the surname. Someone else will have to turn that into IPA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.198.199.25 (talk) 20:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant! Thanks very much. — Cheers, Truth's Out There talk 23:32, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Paudge Behan/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the Education and career section, this sentence ---> "Other films that Behan appeared in include", "in" makes the sentence read strange, it would be best if it were removed. Same section, "In 2006" it would be best if there was a comma placed after 2006.
    Fixed. — Cheers, Truth's Out There talk 10:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:43, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Family and early life section, it would be best to add (IRA) after "Irish Republican Army", I mean I know what it is, but how 'bout the person that reads this article.
    Fixed, although the sentence read "... Irish Republican Army and the Official IRA ...", so I would have thought it was fairly obvious that "IRA" stood for "Irish Republican Army". — Cheers, Truth's Out There talk 10:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I know, but believe me, there are some users who might have a trouble knowing what "IRA" just means. I mean, I got it, but its also helpful for the other users and stuff. Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:43, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    For the memoirs stated in the Family and early life section, I would suggest using the {{cite book}} template. Same section, I believe this ---> "Olivia Kelly (2003-12-09), "Ahern incurs wrath of Paudge Behan", The Irish Times (reproduced on Indymedia Ireland), <http://www.indymedia.ie/article/62593> .</ref>" needs to be fixed properly.
    Fixed: The stray </ref> tag was because another editor wrongly inserted another such tag earlier on in the article, which I have removed. I've used the {{citation}} template throughout, following "Wikipedia:Citing sources#Technical details": "The {{Citation}} template is intended to provide citations for many types of references. The other family has names of the form {{Cite xxx}} (for example, {{Cite book}} and {{Cite web}}). These two families produce different citation styles. ... Thus, these two families should not be mixed in the same article." [Original emphasis.] — Cheers, Truth's Out There talk 10:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:43, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    Is there a source for this ---> "Other films that Behan appeared in include A Man of No Importance (1994), Conspiracy of Silence (2003) and Veronica Guerin (2003). In the latter film, he played Brian Meehan, who was convicted of murdering Irish crime journalist Veronica Guerin in 1996"?
    Fixed. — Cheers, Truth's Out There talk 10:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:43, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the above statements can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Privacy of names, BLP

[edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation received a letter of complaint about the use of private names in this article (viewable by OTRS agents as Ticket:2009082710063075. I have removed the names of his step-siblings in accordance with WP:BLPNAME. A single reference to an obituary does not clear the threshold established there for inclusion. Very likely, the names of other siblings should be removed for the same reason. I have removed reference to his father's partner as well under WP:BLPNAME, particularly as the cited source does not clearly identify which if any of the other children may be hers. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
