• new George Halpin wp:imar ClemMcGann (talk) 11:56, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

• Not news, but a request for clarification: are the dates given in Siege of Drogheda in the Julian calendar or the Gregorian calendar? Autarch (talk) 08:38, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

• Not really news. Rather a request/heads-up. Every so often, a non-free/"fair use" claimed photo of the Liam McCarthy Cup is uploaded to the EN and GA projects. Possibly because no free version exists. They get deleted pretty quickly though because "fair use" can't really be claimed - because a free photo could easily created. No more easily than tonight or over the next few weeks. So, this is a request to any Kilkenny based Wikipedians who may happen to be heading into town tonight to welcome home Liam - please bring your camera along :) (Or if it's headed to your kids/nephews/whoever's school next week, pack the ol' Brownie in with their sangers :) [FYI - Same goes to any Kerry/Tyrone fans who wanna push their way to the front of the throng for the presentation. Just say "Tá an-áthas orm an pictiúr seo a ghlacadh!"] Guliolopez (talk) 17:01, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

• Picture of half of Liam here. Ulster Council site has all images licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. Some good imaages in the gallery, as well as every news story on the site. Derry Boi (talk) 23:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

· history · watch · refresh

Please keep these lists alphabetical! To start All the red links off List of Irish artists All the red links off List of Irish newspapers All the red links off List of Irish theatres and theatre companies DS&ER, etc. Frank McBrearty Great Irishry Hellfire Club - Hunting lodge on Mt. Pelier, in the Dublin Mountains Irish Farmers Association Irish folklore - currently redirects to Irish mythology (see Folklore) Irish railway clearing house Irishry The Last Furlong-New Television Show (can't we just pretend it didn't happen?) Golden Spiders - Irish web design award Parish pump Rowland Southern, marine scientist To seriously rework Clare Island should get a decent coverage of original (1909-11) Clare Island Survey as well as cover the recent second such survey. Irish Reunification - appalling POV stuff. Needs total rewrite or binning. Irish Republicanism - more appalling POV stuff. The Northern Ireland section is a sectarian rant. Labour Party (Ireland). Probably the worst of the articles on Irish political parties, exclusively focused on the party's history and deals with that pretty unevenly. Needs a rewrite using serious sources and more info on Labour as a political player now, policies, organization etc. Languages of the Republic of Ireland - you might think English was the only language of the British Isles not spoken in much of Ireland. National College of Ireland. There was an article. I remember adding the fact that it was initially called the "Catholic Workers College" (which doesn't seem to be recorded elsewhere on the web) But it seems to have vanished! ClemMcGann 08:25, 9 June 2006 (UTC) The Late Late Show - dePOVing needed. Sean Ó Riada Had some serious POV problems. I've reverted the worst of it, but the article still lacks information on his notability. Home Nations Has some serios POV problems - can someone take a look? Nationality of people from the United Kingdom - removing references to Ireland - can someone take a look to make sure I'm not being too over-enthusiastic. Requesting review: Blarney - See recent update Peter Clarke 19:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC) Enterprise (train) - not too sure on varied specifics. Lough Gur Ogham Saint Patrick - The question of dates and unverified sources used for article.

Wikipedia as Gaeilge

A chairde, There really are a depressingly small number of contributors to the wikipedia project in Irish with probably a maximum of 50 or so edits a day, often by the same users. It would be wonderful if you who know so much about Irish affairs and have such interest would (if you speak Irish, of course) help translate articles and create new ones. We have far too many stumpaí, in fact almost half of all articles. A bit of enthusiasm from a few new contributors could really help the project.
I'm sitting my Leaving Certificate now and have found writing for ga.wiki really helped my standard of Irish, I also learned a lot from reading other pages. Your Irish doesn't need to be good to contribute - even if it's only adding categories or interwikis. If you can't remember a word, I recommend EnglishIrishDictionary.com for cross-referencing. Go n-éirí libh, and keep up the good work.
