Talk:Athlone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is there anybody out there?

Hi Athlone fans. I have a context question: What are the 'visible ruins' mentioned in the Athlone page? Also, I broke the link to 'John Grey'; none of the John Greys listed seem to be the 'Justisar' mentioned in the page.

Why is the castle called 'Adamson's Castle'; I don't mention it in my editing of the page, because I know nothing of the history or who Adamson may have been. We need Turloch O. in here to give us a better interpretation of the History.

The page is mirrored at least 18 times on the web, demonstrating how starved for Athlone history we are. So, any chance of a real scholar of history plonking some good information in here. Us amateurs can only do so much.

Won't be missed:)

The section currently labeled for clean up seems to be very specific to the current real estate market, has many obscure undefined references, and should be eliminated. I don't see that the content is particularlly valuable information unless you are buying or selling a house.

I agree and have deleted it. --Gazzetta 10:24, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Format glich

The large blank space looked strange; I moved the photo of the Abbey to the middle of the history block and the text now fills up to the top of the History section. A few literature citations would not go amiss in here. Also, It would be nice to have some confirmed history of the Abbey in there (photo is fine, but not referenced in the text; OK, I admit I added the photo, but I was hoping somone would plop in some Abbey history)

[edit] Strange Weather

While the climate statistics have been correctly taken from the 'Yahoo Weather' site they cannot possibly be correct! (Sarah777 22:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC))
