[edit] Ad hominem references

Thank you for your message. I don't have specific issues with the article but I am concerned whenever an article is devoid of references. I've added some links for now and intend to add footnotes for specific statements in the future. Shawnc 03:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NI wikiproject

Hey Martin. Considering the number of edits you've done to Northern Irish-related articles, I wanted to point you to a new wikiproject I've created specifically because of the dire state of the articles. I thought that more direction and collaboration was needed than existed at the NI Wikipedians' notice board and the NI Portal. Here it is, if you'd like to put your name down as a participant: Wikipedia:WikiProject Northern Irish articles. Nothing is expected of you.. its just a helpful tool that I've made to help editors who have an interest or knowledge of NI subjects. You can help with the project organisation itself too if you like, of course. --Mal 00:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Main roads of Belfast

Why are the main roads of Belfast not relevant information about Belfast? Why are some districts listed and not the others?

It's not exactly that it isn't relevant, but filling up article with long lists isn't really such a hot idea in my opinion. A Main Roads of Belfast article has been created, though I'm not sure what purpose it serves. Wikipedia isn't a telephone directory! lol
Please remember to sign your comments by placing four tildes (~) after you comment. Martin 18:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Why are some districts listed? What about Ormeau Cregagh Castlereagh?. 62.252.148.75 23:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I really couldn't say; why don't you raise the issue on the article's talk page (click the "post a comment" link)?

[edit] Milesians/Gaels

With reference to the edit on Irish people today, re:"Milesians" > "Gaels" - the Milesians are mythological. Surely that "wave" were not Gaels when they arrived in Ireland. Many hundred years after their arrival, merging and/or assimilation forming a new Irish culture, they then got the name Gael apparently from the Welsh. So in fact the Gaels didn't come to Ireland, but they were of Ireland at a somewhat later stage. Wondering what is the consensus on this. Taramoon 02:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NI Portal is Featured Portal candidate

Hi Martin. I was wondering if you'd like to give your opinion on this at: Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Northern Ireland. Cheers, --Mal 20:43, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dana - Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)

Thanks. --Mal 01:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] C. S. Lewis

Hey Martin - as you've edited the Lewis article a few times, and seem to have some knowledge about him, maybe you'd like to give a go at rating the actual article and giving it an importance value on the article's talk page. The template is there, and the guide to the different ratings can be found on the WikiProject Belfast page.

Cheers. --Mal 02:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of Lewis, I just wanted to pop by and say nice job on reworking the sections on the C.S.Lewis page. The whole article reads better because of it. LloydSommerer 19:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Martin 00:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

The minor change you made earlier today was also a nice fix. Mdotley 16:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Cheers! :) Martin 17:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
If you have read the previous discussion(maybe archived), you will understand it does not have any consensus. I have said a lot of times, but it seems like they just ignore what I have said. CS Lewis' personal reference is not important, what is important is the ethnic background and fact presented by authority. From the last discussion, what I have agreed is that he was freed from military duty by UK, and the reason is because he is irish. That is the best stand point, better than what he identify himself as. Like I have said, I can call myself any thing I want, but it will never change the fact.
