Talk:Centre for the Talented Youth of Ireland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parts of this article are in serious need of a rewrite, someone seems to have had a few problems with the more eccentric aspects of some of the attendees
The Game hardly counts, it was only relevant this year, session 2. The article in general makes students who attend seem overly strange.

- We ARE overly strange... but I agree the game thing doesnt count

The Game, the cup pyramids and aren't CTYI traditions, they;re things that happened at CTYI Session 2 2005. THe spoon cult line could do with a rewrite or a removal.
There was at least one cup pyramid in session 1 2005... and i've seen similar things in other years...
I can say from my time as RA in 2004 that there were cup pyramids then. Quite big ones as I recall - Smiley Nialley
I took the t is for tsmart out for 3 reasons, if anyones interested. Firstly, that note was a disambiguation. Secondly, that's just something people have decided to say this year. Thirdly, People can't even decide if its's a silent t, a soft t like tsunami, or not actually there at all -R4ph
I can't remember if there were cup pyramids back in '99 or '00, but I do remember the Spoons were around and the Thursday bathrobes had just started -- though I can't remember the name of the fellow that started it. I guess my memory is failing, since apparently I'm an 'oldy' Liamdaly620 18:03, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ideas for a rewrite
Perhaps starting individual sections for individual sessions/years would be in order? Otherwise traditions from one or two years will seem to apply to all sessions --Nosmo 18:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
I agree
- Given the recent disgraceful amount of spam and a better understanding of wikipedia on my part I retract the previous. Some mention of the fact there is a strong element of tradition might be appropriate, but otherwise it's not needed. --Nosmo 16:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
The tradition with the spoon predates 1999 - to the best of my knowledge it started either in 1996-1997 (I may even be able to figure out who were the instigators of that tradition). DeirdreT 16:12, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] For god sake get someone objective to rewrite the entire article rather than the current stream of nostalgic drivvel that seems to swamp CTYI
I agree totally. Relevant detalis please! Shanequinlan01
[edit] CTY Inappropriate
I removed the CTY Inappropriate stuff a while ago, but it was added back in. I made the point that the article is entitled "Centre for the Talented Youth of Ireland", so there is no need to mention CTY Inappropriate, but R4ph argued that it was disambiguation, which is fair enough. It still doesn't belong in the "Centre for t..." article, so why not create a "CTYI_(disambiguation)" page, make the "CTYI" page redirect to "Centre for th...", and put a link at the top that says "For other uses of CTYI, see CTYI_(disambiguation)", or whatever it is that is usually put at the top of Wikipedia articles.
Or is CTY Inappropriate even important enough to be mentioned?
What do you think?

[edit] Calling all CTYIzens
Please familiarise yourself with WP:MOS (manual of style) and WP:WWIN (what Wikipedia is not) before throwing in fancruft and irrelivant details. Sorry to spoil your fun, but this is an encyclopedia. Ludraman 00:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Course Descriptions
What loser threw those in? If not deleted they should at least be summarised to one or two lines
[edit] cups
The cups also happened in 2004.
[edit] Copyvio?
Large portions of this article appear to have been cut&pasted from [1]. 71.197.237.5 19:43, 22 July 2006 (UTC) Calling all CTYIzens
[edit] Hey leave taditions back up
Hey traditions of CTYI are very important. Leave these up. I took out alot of bull crap and put the core in. People come to CTYI for the first time and do not look surprised on on thursdays or when people yell out the game. The traditions section is very important, to CTYIzens.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ciaran Boyle (talk • contribs).
- Please read WP:V and WP:NOT. The content you keep readding is not verifiable and not encyclopaedic. Demiurge 18:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bad Deletion
Who deleted most of the CTYI article.
It was Demiurge and he was damn right to aswell Dermo69
Im leaving the traditions back up.
No.The fact that you played the game in summer camp is not encyclopedic. Dermo69
-- Yes I agree, it was and interestig section that was totally factual - The guy with the DCU hat
[edit] Dont
Dont Demiurge.
[edit] So
What about putting up a seperate article on CTYI traditions? Especially since we from what I have understood cannot put up a paragraph on it here. - Exiledone 14:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I would agree with that since culture is damned important to CTYIers maybe something based on CTY Culture of the main CTY site Ciaran Boyle 16:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sheila Gilhenny
Can we have a paragraph section on Sheila Gilhenny
Who is Shelia Gilhenny? Exiledone 11:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
ha noob ^^ 194.125.78.29 23:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
She was the director before Colm --83.141.75.114 20:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Is Sheila gone?! When did that happen? Liamdaly620 05:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Well there's a contrast; someone who doesn't know who Dr. Sheila is and sonmebidy who didn't know she was gone. I don't know who I feel worse for.
- My last was 2001, a lot can happen in 6 years —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Liamdaly620 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC).
- I think the name is written Sheila Gilheany. --Sir Ophiuchus 23:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
