[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Celtic_Roy_Keane.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Celtic_Roy_Keane.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Thought for the Day
"And while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland ... shall never be at peace."
So maybe its time to let them go. Fergananim 11:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
"Ireland unfree shall never pe at peace, and maybe it's not --Tiocfaidh Ár Lá! 16:15, 2 March 2006 (UTC)"
Since holding onto past-their-sell-by-date ideas and dead people has brought neither freedom nor peace to some, perhaps its time to forget them as we have other irrelevant dogmas, and live in the here and now. Just an idea .. Fergananim 16:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
For example: United Ireland. What's the point? The last nail in that coffin was hammered home ninty years ago, so why flog a dead horse?
If you have any other ideas that you think are still relevant, however, try me. I do listen with an open mind. Cheers, and thanks for the message. Fergananim 16:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough; though note that the rise in votes was in direct proportion to the decrease in voilent PIRA activity. Also, that there is very little substance between SF of, say, 1981, and the policys they espouse now. There won't be a United Ireland, sadly, because there is no good reason for it, and the leadership knows it too. Fergananim 16:46, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
An absense of PIRA violence doesn't mean there is peace, it just means the PIRA is not active, but you are right in the fact that there is a direct correlation. But is there peace? I say no, If there was then peace lines would be ripped down, but that's not going to happen. Look at Dublin on Saturday, the smallest thing can trigger massive riots (think marching season), what we have isn't peace. Yes SF have changed since '81, they compete in elections (I'm not a shinner by the way), they (SF/IRA) have helped end the Unionist hegemony, made sectarianism in employment all but extinct and have sat on a power-sharing executive. Things have improvewd no doubt, but to say there is no good reason for a United Ireland is complete and utter bollocks.
Ireland is a small island with a small population, and a small fraction think they're the Queens favourite people on Earth which means a border was conjured up to divide it. Ireland was divided in ancient times, then a single entity for centureies, it will be united again somehow. Britain is all too keen to leave thie North, North-South programmes are greater in number , the leadership of SF know this and know that real politics is now just as effective as bombs were. A very large minority in the 6 counties are not British, Irish passport applications are going across the border like never before. Unionism has been on the back-foot for almost 40 years and all they are doing now are silly delaying tactics. --Tiocfaidh Ár Lá! 17:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Very good points, and well stated. However, Ireland was never in its history united as a single, soverign Irish political entity. Would that it were so. In any case, what say do we in Ireland have on the idea of suddenly expanding our state by bringing in the north? Its not a terribly popular idea down here. The main obstacle to a united Ireland will be neither of the peoples of the North, but the Irish. Fergananim 17:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
"we in Ireland"? Pardon me but isn't Ireland an island? I think I live on it....
And I never stated it was ever a united sovereign entity, just that it was a single entity. And the free-staters in the South might not be overly-excited about the prospect, but real Republicans are, I'm not overly excited about being ruled in a capitalist country with Dublin as it's capital and PD's in govt (Just as bad as London in many respects). I just want to see Britain leave first and foremost, then a solution on unity, whether it be a confederation, a federation - whatever. I'm a socialist, my ideal Ireland would be a 32 county workers republic, or something near it. If I was offered a free "Northern Ireland" based on socialist principles I would take it, then work towards unity.
Well thats my 5 minute roundabout path to unity, thats why I'm not a politician. --Tiocfaidh Ár Lá! 20:06, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] O Keane Arms
Just one other question; any idea which O Keane the arms were granted to? Cheers. Fergananim 16:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Pretty sure the Keane clan is is from the south east, there is a variant of kane that is keane, but most are found in the south coast area. The Keane coat of arms, I have no idea.
[edit] Please do not add copyvio material to the pedia
Please do not tag images like Image:Thesetantacup.jpg and Image:Okane.gif as {{GFDL}}, when it is clear that you copied them from random websites. This is using false tags, and you will be blocked if you continue. Thanks for your attention. JesseW, the juggling janitor 03:01, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, and i look forward to your assistance. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 08:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well becides myself, their is one other user, Gnevin that is on board. I have invited editors that have made edites to the artiles in question, ones that have added content or their edits seem to express an intrest in the subject, but the question is if they will join or not. I have also posted notices on some internal boards, inviting useres to help out. Usually these things take a bit to ramp up, and if no one joins well i am still going to go ahead, at least it will be an area that editors can colarbate on a subject that is going to have a variety of artilces. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 04:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
The {{GaelicGamesProject}} tag should only applied to the talk pages of articials (Gnevin 21:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC))
- Yeah i was gonna say the same thing, most of the major articlea are tagged, if you happen to come across one that does not have one on the talk page, just payt the tag their. Thanks for tagging the articles though. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 03:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Project
Well i am less concerned about finding images then adding txt to the artciles, ie history, background, and such. But the images do not hurt. As for the set, yeah image use on here is not well coridnated nor is it well explaind, they really need a copyright laywer to come in and flesh it out then trhying to do one thing and say another, but that is an ither discussion. The images could be used off of fair use provisions, tag it wil something like {{fairusein}}, but it would be bset to try to seek the permission of the holder of the images and get them to release the usage to wikipedia. If your going to fair use its best only to use one of the image, mulitple from the same source can invaladate fair use, and the only image that i would not use of them is the first one, being that it from another source, Daily Ireland, and not the Ulster board, that just adds another issue. As for images though, i rahther have good mages in articles, then crap images, other wise it does not add value to the article or to image. Just my thoughts. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 03:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vote on Britain
Just thought you'd like to know that on the Talk:Britain page there is a vote. The vote is to redirect Britain to Great Britain. Those who disagree with the redirect are doing so because, they contend, the northeast of Ireland is part of Britain (and not merely just part of the UK). El Gringo 21:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Irish History
You seem like you have a lot a knowledge with respect Irish history so maybe you would like to comment on the historic basis of this term here Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-12-02 IRA 'Volunteer' usage —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DownDaRoad (talk • contribs) 20:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Antrim crest.gif, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 08:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IRA Volunteer issue
Go to this page, an Indian guy is being forced by Loyalists and West Brit who are demanding that the rank of Volunteer is banned for describing the rank of members of the IRA – if you do not voice your opinion on this then they are going to get away with this bull Vintagekits 22:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Tiocfa(í|i)dh Ár Lá"
Why is your sig spelt Tiocfaídh Ár Lá instead of Tiocfaidh Ár Lá? jnestorius(talk) 17:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The end of the mediation cabal on the term Volunteer is ending in two days.
The mediation process is ending in two days - you have two days to have you final say and 1. show any proof that Volunteer is a rank and 2. leave your final vote in coming to a consensus here. Thank you.--Vintagekits 22:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject IRA
