[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Great to see another editor adding to Ireland-related articles here (you might want to check out the Irish Wikipedians' notice board where editors collaborate on Ireland-related articles). Nice photos. I see you have one or two images uploaded without a licence - this isn't a problem that requires you to re-upload, you can edit the page for an image (e.g. Image:IMG 1775w.jpg) in the same way any article here is edited. This means you can amend your details about the photos, authorship, and add the licence template even after the image is created here on Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the Articles for deletion page. There is also a Deletion review page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

[edit] Great contributions

Hi there,

Great to have some photos - Wikipedia often has problems with plenty of text and no images (or poor ones). The ones you've added are great illustrations, particularly the ones of new road sections. You must travel around a fair bit! Also nice to have someone else editing and fact-checking the articles.

Thanks! I don't really know how to communicate here...as you can see!

[edit] License tagging for Image:IMG 1176w.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:IMG 1176w.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Changing image tags/descriptions

Hi there,

You don't need to re-upload your images to fix the tag or details attached to the image. Just go to the image's page (e.g. Image:IMG_3994w.JPG) and click "edit this page" at the top. Just add whatever tag you want there (e.g. {{GFDL}} or {{PD}}).

Hope that helps,

Hello Zoney That works fine; it tells me to use "PD-self". Regards Eoghan (Sarah777)


[edit] Photos

I would just like to compliment and thank you on your brilliant photos. They are a great contribution to Wikipedia! Jvlm.123 15:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! Glad you like them...this Wikipedia thing is addictive, isn't it?!


[edit] Halloween img

Although it is a very pretty picture, maybe it's one of your family that you have taken yourself. Ireland is very well presented with an 1832 painting. Maybe one is enough, as Halloween photos are more or less the same worldwide, but the painting is interesting because of it's historical nature. BTW, Halloween originated in Ireland and was brought to the USA in the 1850's. Well I see nearly every country is claiming it now. I don't remember it being celebrated here in England when I was a kid. Gal Lass 20:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Gail, Nothing to do with my family, I have no idea who the kids were! I did take the picture a few years back, I've contributed dozens of pics to Wiki. I agree the Blarney picture is excellent but the article lacked an illustration of the most typical MODERN aspect of Halloween, the dressing up and begging or 'trick and treating' as they call it in America, (a phrase which has now become the standard here).

I felt the photo captured this, the kids dressed up just after dark, the 'Haloween colours' of black and orange, the Autumn leaves on the trees and the ghoulish decorations on the house in the background!

I even thought the sequence of the two pics was illustrative; Haloween Ireland 1832 and now today. Regards (Sarah777 22:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC))

[edit] ATHLONE

Icarns; the climate data in the "Athlone" article is WRONG. Why did you delete my note pointing that out? (Sarah777 15:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC))

Hello Sarah777. I removed it since the article is not the place to carry on discussions. This should have been highlighted one of (at least) two methods:
  1. A new discussion entry on Talk:Athlone if there was something to discuss
  2. A correction of the data in the article together with a reference citing your source of statistics.
You should sign Talk comments, but not article edits. As it was, I was following a Wiki task list that had highlighted incorrect links to User space from the article space, and your Athlone signature / comments were so highlighted. Hope that explains things. Please feel free to re-edit in one of the above ways. Thanks, Ian Cairns 16:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

OK. Got that! Unfortunately while I know for certain the climate data for Athlone is incorrect, I don't know a source of any correct data. It isn't one of the Irish Met Service locations. (Sarah777 02:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC))
