[edit] Google template
Can you please explain this edit? I think it should be reverted as per Talk:Google#The_Google_Template_Box. --M@thwiz2020 20:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, i thought it was the better template box as it has google services and tools as well as all other google links. I didn't see the discussion in the Talk page. Sorry again.. -Ablaze (talk) 21:38, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Darranc - please do not change the Google services template to the Google Inc. template - talk page discussion has already affirmed that the Google Services template should be used on the relevant pages - see Talk:Google for more info. Yes, the Google Inc. has more info, but most Wikipedia users have determined that already. Thanks. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 06:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, as discussed previously, it was a mistake. I did not see the discussion and just assumed the google inc. template was the better looking one. I apologise once more. Sorry it won't happen again. -Ablaze (talk) 06:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! :-) –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 02:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 13th/14th
[edit] Two different units
The 14th and 13th units are two complete separate units. They are both based in Rathfarnham and the 14th was established by leaders of the 13th but since then they have very different histories. There are 3 more units in Rathfarnham so an article about Scouting in Rathfarnham should not include the history of the 13th and the 14th but should be a more general artical. Merging 14th Dublin and 13th Dublin would insinuate they are thesame unit, which they clearly are not. I'm an active leader in the 13th Dublin unit and therefore do not know anything of the history of the 14th Dublin since it was established. I also can't tell you more about the other 3 units, but I've requested info from them as to write an article about Scouting in Rathfarnham.
I've rewritten the page about Scouting in Rathfarnham a bit since the history of the 13th Dublin is not the sole history of Scouting in that area. I'm looking for more info on the other troops. By my knowledge there were/are 6 troops: 13th Dublin, 14th Dublin, 31st Dublin, 68th Dublin, Rathfarnham Girl Guides and a troop in Ballyboden that no longer exists. I've contacted the leaders I know of all troops in the area (Mountpellier Scout County and Three Rock Scout County) to enlighten me with any info they might posses. I beg all of you to leave the 13th Dublin and 14th Dublin articles intact. I will receive more info about the 14th soon so I'll be able to continuee their history from the moment they became a separate unit. I also started articles on the Scout Provinces in Ireland. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Jorgenpfhartogs
[edit] Folding of the Irish Flag.
Saw your Question on the Talk Page. The only way in any Law, Statutory instrument or Directive that the Flag is to be folded is at a State/Military funeral. All other times are not Specified. Only that 1. Green and Orange must never touch, this is common with all tricolours (AFAIK) and 2. (Obviously) it should never hit the ground.
Its Extremely Hard, there are 3 pairs of soldiers, 2 on each color, the flag is held taut at the corner of Every color. It begins with the Orange pair who will fold orange to white, (Always Under the Flag NEVER over) pass the End to the White pair then stand smartly to attention letting go of the Flag. The White Pair will fold it to the Green pair then do the Same, The Green Pair will fold it a final time and hold it out Level. While the Commander of the Bearer party will stretch out their left arm under the middle of the Green and order "Amach" at which the Green pair will let go of the Corners, draping it over the arm of the Commander, when he has the Flag he Folds his Arm against his Chest Holding the Flag against his body. Only 1 Hand of each person is moving at any one time and each pair will act simultaneously at all times. The Commander Will then March off the Bearer Party away from the Graveside. If the Family Requsts the Flag he will present it to the next of Kin. However this must be swapped for a Real Flag (Flags for Coffins are especially Made with Loops for securing it to the Coffin and Swords, Hats Etc to the The Top of it.) A real Flag will have a gold trim.
This is a Very Simplified description, there's a lot of Moving Hands, Bending Folding and Releasing done by Each Person, in time with another Person Facing you. There are Nods or blinks done to signal when you're going to move. However the Practice required is Huge, the most recent time I've seen it done properly was at the Charles Haughey funeral. But Getting a copy of the video might be a problem.

[edit] WikiProject South Park
I have thought of creating a WikiProject for South Park since it is now near its' 10th anniversary and has more articles than ever. I feel we could all do the following things through this project:
- Cleanup any short/poorly written/unformatted articles
- Merge/lengthen the many character articles
- Improve the South Park main page
I have seen your South Park fan template and wondered if you were interested in joining. If so reply to my talk page and I'll get back to you as quick as I can. Thanks, Mr. Garrison
