|||
Not to be a picky bugger here, but isn't there no "V" in the Irish language? Surely Bhicipéid would be more correct to actual Irish and not nua-Gaelige? |
|||
:Certainly - I agree. But those who started it decided to follow modern Irish standards (replacing W with V). Personally, I think Uicipéid better - the U replacing W has been used historically (for surnames in particular) - and results in an actual W sound. More particularly, it should perhaps be spelt Úicipéid or Uaicipéid or Úaicipéid - not too sure what way it should be spelt if a U is used.

However it's spelled, it's great to have and I'll be doing a bit of work on it as User:Filiocht. Warning, my Irish is limited. [[User:Bmills|Bmills]] 13:19, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC) |
|||
Úicipéid sounds fairly correct, and also matches the English spelling a bit more, by not having an a close to the start [[User:Kiand|Kiand]] |
|||
==Cork== |
|||
The article [[Cork (city)]] is ridiculously short. This city, soon to be [[European Capital of Culture]], has much history, architecture, sights and indeed culture to talk about. |
|||
For comparison, see [[Limerick, Ireland]] and [[Dublin]]. Also see that even [[Waterford City]] and indeed [[Shannon Town]] and [[Ennis]] have more information. I mean, Waterford for some bizarre reason even has a full article in Dutch!!! |
|||
I don't really know what to add (I don't even know the names of the cathedrals!), but someone '''please''' help! |
|||
:I added a lot to the Cork city article some time back, but it still needs more info. Especially on the history and sights. |

==Derry/Londonderry== |
|||
I don't want to sound foolish but I think this should be resolved, for the sake of consistancy. Initially it was decided that [[Derry]] would refer to the city and [[Londonderry]] to the county. This worked well, see [[Talk:Londonderry]] - but recently people are changing the articles. Whilst both names are primarily agenda driven a consistancy would be great!

The [[Eircom]] article has recently been called "biased and misleading" see [[Talk: Eircom]] and also the "The neutrality of this article is disputed." message has been used. I am not well versed in the issues but do not believe that the article should be censored or one sided, nor do I believe that Eircom should be portrayed, misleadingly, as a fluffy bunny company either, any assistance welcome.

Help required with [[List of Irish poets]], [[List of Irish dramatists]] and [[List of Irish novelists]]: please add more names and/or articles/stubs for the red links. [[User:Bmills|Bmills]] 11:21, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC) |

Also [[List of Irish short story writers]] now. If you work on any articles, can you add the appropriate category tab from: <nowiki> [[Category:Irish poets|Lastname, Firstname]], [[Category:Irish dramatists|Lastname, Firstname]], [[Category:Irish novelists|Lastname, Firstname]], [[Category:Irish short story writers|Lastname, Firstname]] </nowiki>? |

== Belfast == |
|||
The article [[Belfast]] strikes me as a) woefully inadequate, b) quite unordered, c) not very elegant (big table, no photo). Would anyone be able to start off some cleanup of the article? (I don't really know much about the city, I was winging it fixing up [[Cork (city)|Cork]], to attack Belfast would be more iffy!)

== Olympics == |
|||
I've added a basic [[Ireland_at_the_2004_Summer_Olympics]] page, as it was linked to on the main 2004 Olympics page, and Ireland seemed to be the biggest country not there. I've also added stubs for Cian O'Connor and Sonia. But I don't have the nessacery knowledge to fill them out properly. |

== Ministers for (at Departments of State) == |
|||
An anon user is very busy separating the articles (that deal with [[Irish Government]] ministers) into sub articles that deal with each change of name. Very often they are simply removing material and not using a redirect so when you click on a link you arrive at a blank page. They have copied <nowiki>{{GovernmentofIreland}}</nowiki> enough times to fill several pages - do they know what templates are for? |

Is there anything we can do about this other than fixing it up or starting a revert war? Anyone feel like trying to catch whoever it is when they're on and sending a talk message to their IP (I guess its dynamic, Ireland being the dialup nation) [[User:Kiand|Kiand]] 00:22, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC) |

== Irish subject articles on Peer review == |
|||
Hi. I posted [[James Joyce]] and [[Samuel Beckett]] on [[Wikipedia:Peer review]]. Even if you do not have any great personal interest in these writers, I'd like feedback on writing style, layout, organisation, etc. It would be cool to get the pages onto FA one day, and maybe even the Main page. [[User:Filiocht|Filiocht]] 13:00, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:I suggest you put James Joyce on [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates]]. It's very comprehensive, reads well, and has a good references and links section at the bottom. Also has images. The language is clear and well-constructed (IMO). So while there may be issues raised, I suggest that the article is good enough to submit - hopefully if any objections are raised, they can be rectified there and then.

==To Do list== |

Hi |
|||
How do you all feel about putting a to do list here where we could add Irish subject articles that need to be started or improved, but that we do not have the time/information to do ourselves? |
|||

== City maps == |
|||
[[User:Djegan]] and I have been having a discussion on the maps and infoboxes on the Irish city articles. Djegan has put some work into presenting some of the important facts on each city. Personally, I don't like the current maps (some, such as at [[Cork (city)]] and [[Limerick, Ireland]] look very ugly IMO). |
|||
So, do we have suggestions or volunteers for improving these boxes. An attempt at something different has been made at [[Kilkenny]]. Also, should these boxes be located at the top of the article? Or somewhere else, like beside the TOC if possible? |
