No I'm not connected to this organisation, I'm just an onlooker. Can some of the comments regarding the pages impartiality be removed as I feel these have now been addressed?Ni fact finder (talk) 00:37, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure they have, but since this is part of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Northern Ireland, perhaps you should seek the views of other editors there? RashersTierney (talk) 01:11, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tags

OK lets try to improve this page to satisfy wikipedia and to make it a good resource. Can the following line be removed as there are 8 references within the article? Very few or no other articles link to it. Please help introduce links to this page from other articles related to it. Tagged since June 2011. Ni fact finder (talk) 18:51, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't what 'What links here' refers to. If you notice the 'Toolbox' column when on the article page and click on 'What links here', you will see that the only substantive article linked is 'County Fermanagh' - (this is a shortcut link). See Help:What links here for 'help'. RashersTierney (talk) 19:05, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I now understand, there are 2 such links in now, is this enough?Ni fact finder (talk) 19:40, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there has been a change in requirement from 3 to 1 link: Note: Recent discussion at WT:ORPHANAGE resulted in the change from 3 to 1 due to issues with backlogs, so I'll remove this tag. Still think you could get useful advice at the NI project page. RashersTierney (talk) 20:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help, I've made a post within that link asking that the merger be stopped as I think there is enough unique information within this page to allow it to remain, if you can help in any way I would appreciate it. Ni fact finder (talk) 22:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried that link but no response was made and I've noticed other topics seem to be inactive as well. The "Fermanagh Orangeism" page has been flagged to merge with the main Orange Order page, since there is quite a bit of unique information on this page can the merger tag be removed? Ni fact finder (talk) 00:03, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, has a decision been made regarding the merger? I hope this page can be allowed to stand alone, it's got more material that is unique that the Canadian page and within the discussion section there does seem to be some support for the page albeit small. Please allow it to remain without the merger tags. Ni fact finder (talk) 23:47, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:Fermanagh Orangeism. Looks like opinions are still coming in, but most so far favour a merge. If you oppose the merge, as it certainly seems, you should state Oppose at one of your previous edits at that page, just in case your statement is considered ambiguous by whoever closes the discussion. In any case, the decision to merge or not will be based on the arguments presented, rather than 'votes' as such. RashersTierney (talk) 00:40, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These views were posted on the original link, can they be added? This topic of a merger has been rumbling on since June, can a decision be made one way or the other, I don't want to do any more work to the page if my time is going to be wasted.

Fermanagh OrangeismThis page should not be merged with the main Orange Order page as this branch of the Order has a lot of individual information that would get lost in the Orange Order's page. The page should not be merged for the same reason that the Fermanagh GAA pages should not be merged with the overall GAA pages - they are individual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ni fact finder (talk • contribs) 11:37, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

This page is fairly unique and should be allowed to stand on its own right, please advise if this tag can be taken off the page in relation to mergers? Ni fact finder (talk) 22:15, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Please do not merge this page, with a membership of 2500, 90 lodges and some 60 halls; this organization is at the hub of PUL community in fermanagh. With hundreds of events year round and an attendance of over 20k (a third of the population of fermanagh) at the 12th of July (main event). This organisation deserves its own reference page on wiki especially as other smaller or similar sized organizations already have their own pages. The OO in fermanagh is a Christian organisation that provides a common link between different protestant communities, it provides social, culturual, historical, educational, sporting, musical and religious events, as well as numerous charity donations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.159.30 (talk) 18:46, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Nudge. Any other views on this? RashersTierney (talk) 00:15, 10 November 2011 (UTC) I see no reason for it not to exist as its own article. It's something Ni fact finder is clearly passionate about and is putting a lot of work into improving. Let it stay, I say. JonCTalk 08:55, 10 November 2011 (UTC) I believe the Fermanagh orange gives a broad insight into the orange order within fermanagh. It provides a range of information unique to the county of fermanagh and to the people of fermanagh that are passionate about their lodges. Generations of people that have left this land will be interested in views pages like this as its relative to them on there search for their roots. It also provides a information about a culture that is wide ranging but linked is so many way. I believe the page should have it own unique standing.86.158.69.197 (talk) 20:03, 10 November 2011 (UTC) Ni fact finder (talk) 01:23, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, It's time for a decision to be made, this has been going on since June which is absurd. If this page goes then Fermanagh GAA must go too! Ni fact finder (talk) 17:08, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked an admin to take a look. RashersTierney (talk) 18:41, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lighten up Mo. New user trying to find their feet, we were all there once. RashersTierney (talk) 22:50, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like the page has been deleted and not 1 bit of information has been merged, wikipedia and its administrators are clearly a bunch of sectarian bigots!!!!!! 21:35, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

They do say it takes one to know one. Mo ainm~Talk 21:36, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At least you had the courage to admit it, still doesn't make it right and frankly this site is a disgrace, will you be closing "Fermanagh GAA"? Ni fact finder (talk) 23:54, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
