Talk:St Colman's Cathedral, Cobh

Article name

Should this item not be named "St. Colman's Cathedral, Cobh" rather than Cobh Cathedral? Coolavokig 13:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

WP:NAME says "generally, article naming should prefer what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize". Isn't this best known as Cobh Cathedral? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

To some people perhaps, but to many others it is St. Colman's and that is it's official name. Also note that anyone researching their family history from abroad might not know that the town their grandparents spoke about was renamed Cobh in 1920. I know my grandparents often referred to Cobh as Queenstown even though they were fierce republicans. St. Colman's covers both possibilities. Coolavokig 09:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Cobh Cathedral: source of article

The information in this article is taken mainly from the thesis 'Visions Materialised: The building of St. Colman’s Cathedral, Cobh (1868-1917)', NCAD, Dublin, 2000 by Ann Wilson, and/or other papers based on it and published in the Journal of the Irish Georgian Society and Antiphon. Why is this not referenced and cited in the bibliography? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.129.200 (talk) 17:26, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Dates

Dates given in the History section are contradictory, e.g. "The committee decided in January 1867 to hold an architectural competition... This competition took place in 1859..." A knowledgeable contributor needs to read it through and amend. Camboxer (talk) 14:46, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Follow-up: thank you, AFBorchert, for noticing and dealing with this, nice work! Unfortunately I found that not all the copyright violation had been removed (I searched the book, which I only have snippet view of, for "dominates the quay in a most imposing way", and got a hit on page 56). That phrase is present in this edit by IP 94.83.253.145, which over-wrote the whole article except the stuff about the carillon. The only option was to revert to the last version before that. I particularly regret the loss of all the work put in by Tomh903. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:24, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
