re:Advice on citing
[edit]- According to WP:SOURCE, you should only cite credible Third-Party sources. That being said, I think that you are fine with just adding it. If you have any other sources (e.g. books, letters, etc.), you could cite them, but I would not avoid adding something to wikipedia just because I could not source it. I hope that that answers your question. Feel free to contact me if you need any further clarification or have any other questions. Welcome! Alphachimp talk 23:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
It's Mac Giolla, not MacGiolla
[edit]Hi, The subject's surname should be Mac Giolla and not MacGiolla. This is clearly laid out in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles), paragraphs 1 and 3:
- 1 If someone used the Irish version of his or her name, and this enjoyed and enjoys widespread usage among Irish and English speakers, this should be reflected in Wikipedia. Thus, we refer to Máirtín Ó Cadhain, not "Martin Kyne"; Tomás Ó Fiaich, not "Thomas Fee", etc.
- 3 In Irish orthography, there is a space between Mac and the rest of the surname, e.g. Seán Mac Eoin, Seán Mac Stíofáin etc. In English orthography, there is no space between the Mc or Mac and the rest of the surname.
I'll propose to have the move reverted. (I notice that Seán Mac Stíofáin has also been moved incorrectly).--Damac 15:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

How's it going? I've seen you around various pages relating to Irish Music, and so would like to invite you to become a part of WikiProject Irish Music, a WikiProject which aims to expand and improve coverage of Irish Music and Musicians on Wikipedia. We'd love it if you considered joining us! |
I notice that you're an active contributor to articles concerning irish music, and wonder if you'd be interested in joining this WikiProject? Your input would be most welcome! --Kaini 04:36, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Nenagh Ormond
[edit]Hi... there are a number of these, then. Wherever it points, it should not point to irish. Maybe Ireland? I'll switch those that I find... if you see any others, please don't hesitate to change them yourself, but not to Irish. "Irish" is a disambiguation page, and should not have incoming links. I spent most of the morning disambiguating about 300 of them. Thanks for letting me know. --Storkk 11:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Treaty Gaels Camogie Club
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Treaty Gaels Camogie Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Sinn Féin / Request for comment
[edit]You recently responded to a request for comment that I put on the SF page. Can you clarify a few things on the talkpage there please? Thanks Valenciano (talk) 21:05, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your contribution on that page. The only thing I'm not clear about, and this is important, is whether you where giving the request for comment or whether you were simply adding your opinion in that section. If the former then I can go for arbitration, if the latter then I need to relist it as an RFC. Thanks in advance Valenciano (talk) 19:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Stalin vs. Lenin Peace Prizes
[edit]Hi there,
Thanks for checking with me before making a change in the cats. I'm still in the process of getting these set up for these prizes. The Stalin Peace Prize was issued from 1950 to 1955. After Kruschev took power, the de-Stalinization efforts took place as part of his reforms and the award was renamed the Lenin Peace Prize which continued from 1957 until 1990. Since Mr. Bernal received the award in 1953, he received the Stalin Peace Prize. I noticed that the text of the article is incorrect though so I'm fixing it to match.
Because of the human rights abuses that occurred under Stalin, some favorable biographies of the recipients of the early award intentionally mislabel the award. Thanks!RevelationDirect (talk) 01:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

International Communist League (Fourth International)
[edit]I strongly feel this page should be renamed/re-oriented. I do not know if this has been discussed before but this page is really about the Spartacist League of the United States, with only a few tibits about the other sections of this "International". I think it would be more accurate to split this page into one for the original Spartacist League in the US and one for the ICL(FI), and then create pages for the other spartacist leagues in other countries. I do not wish to do this "unilaterally" however and would like the input of others who have participated on the articles discussion page to respond on the discussion page before I take this step.--Dudeman5685 (talk) 18:19, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Liam McCormick reference on Irish architecture page.
[edit]Hello Gramscis cousin. I am having a little difficulty with a user that keeps undoing changes to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Ireland I have added a reference to Liam McCormick but someone using the alias Finance something or other keeps undoing it. I actually created the Liam McCormick page a few years ago but haven't touched it since then. It has, correctly, grown organically with contributions from different users. I think it a little unusual that McCormick is not on the page - but he was a slightly divisive figure in the eyes of some because was from the north. His offices were bombed, for example. I am not sure if the reference is being removed in good faith or not. I don't think. The person removing the reference has been quite smarmy. I don't want to end up in an edit war, so if you'd like arbitrate, would be great. Thanks!
Here is the reference as I left it:
One of the main proponents of modernist and Brutalist architecture in Ireland was Sam Stephenson. Stephenson designed the Civic Offices (1979) and the Central Bank of Ireland (1980), both of which generated considerable controversy at the time of their construction. In the same period, Liam McCormick designed the modernist Met Éireann headquarters in Glasnevin, Dublin (1979).
Nothing controversial or inaccurate abut this. He deserves as much of a mention as Sam Stephenson, even just considering the number of modern churches he designed. It seems to me that the person removing the reference is doing so for reasons that are not entirely rational. 2001:BB6:2D1D:C200:68DF:6193:705B:695F (talk) 13:10, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
