Revision as of 15:39, 7 September 2004
Feel free to add and edit things here, it is a notice board!
Vicipéid
Tabhar cuairt ar an leagan Gaeilge den 'Wikipedia' agus cabharaigh linn. Zoney
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. zoney ███ talk 13:11, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
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. 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 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! Djegan 18:06, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- The previous situation was fine - it seems to be unilateral action on the part of User:Lord Emsworth. I've left a note on his user talk. zoney ███ talk 19:44, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- And I have responded on Mr Zoney's talk page. -- Emsworth 20:10, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- In the interests of the compromise I have renamed "Derry/Londonderry" as "Londonderry" in the Template:Ireland counties and "Londonderry" as "Derry" in the Template:IrishCities - redirects also reflect this original compromise.
- In summary: Derry (city) + Londonderry (county) = (original) compromise Djegan 21:20, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Irish Breakfast
The Irish breakfast article has been listed on VfD! Please help save the article. Ludraman | Talk 08:45, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Discussion and arguments are ongoing on Talk:Full English Breakfast and Talk:Irish breakfast. User:Jooler wishes to merge the two, scrapping Irish breakfast. The article has been reverted and grossly POV-edited a number of times.

An Post
An Post needs a lot of expansion; it's currently small and inadequate. LUDRAMAN | T 14:25, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Please could you have a look at Talk: An Post? I believe there's a dubious re-branding claim in the main article, but I'm not able to check it out on the ground in Ireland at the moment. -- Picapica 08:50, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Comments on Talk: An Post. Zoney 19:37, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Eircom
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.

FAC
The President of Ireland article is on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. Go and vote! LUDRAMAN | T 03:13, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Irish writers
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. 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: [[Category:Irish poets|Lastname, Firstname]], [[Category:Irish dramatists|Lastname, Firstname]], [[Category:Irish novelists|Lastname, Firstname]], [[Category:Irish short story writers|Lastname, Firstname]] ? Thanks Bmills 13:21, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
And now there's Wikipedia:WikiProject Irish literature. Bmills 09:36, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Just to let you know that there is at least one other Irish Wikipedian with this page on the watchlist. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Irish literature, English or Irish language - I had great difficulty remembering it all for the Leaving Cert! Zoney 13:06, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
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, to attack Belfast would be more iffy!) zoney ▓█▒ talk 13:18, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
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.
Anyone up for the task? My sporting knowledge ends at soccer and F1... Kiand 18:28, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
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 {{GovernmentofIreland}} enough times to fill several pages - do they know what templates are for?

Djegan 23:31, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
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) Kiand 00:22, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- The anon person seams to be seeing sense after a "revert battle" and talk! Djegan 21:10, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Bosco
Not necessarily a bad thing, but Wikipedia doesn't have anything on a bastion of 70s/80s childhood in Ireland. zoney ▓ ▒ talk 23:16, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- we must get images and make it look very camp (like it was)! Djegan 23:19, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- if someone can get the images, I remember the show very well (probably being the youngest here, but still old enough for it to have been on). Is Bosco taken I wonder... Kiand 15:20, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Theres now something of a page there. For an Irish icon, theres bugger all on the net about him. I'm certain I have a few tapes of the last shown episodes here, so I'll try to dig them out and watch them to get some more info. Kiand 15:39, 7 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. 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. Now to look at Samuel Beckett... zoney ▓ ▒ talk 13:12, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
