  • Category: Shipping companies of Ireland was inexplicably deleted on March 5 by User:Betacommand. No reason was given. Do we need this category? - Alison☺ 15:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Penlee lifeboat disaster

Twenty-five years ago today, just before Christmas, 16 lives were lost in the Penlee lifeboat disaster. The RNLB Solomon Browne went down while rescuing the Arklow-bound, Dublin-registered Union Star on its maiden voyage. The captain, captain Henry "Mick" Moreton had his wife and two teenage daughters on board. Does this disaster fall within our project? ClemMcGann 20:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Your call, Clem. I'd say "yes". - Alison✍ 20:51, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • BTW - we need to fill in the details around the project here. I've not done it yet but might hit it over the holliers :) - Alison✍ 20:51, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Clem, can I suggest "No". My reasoning being that whilst Union Star would come within the scope of the project, Penlee lifeboat disaster would not. The ship was Irish-registered (within!) whilst the disaster is named after the lifeboat which is British. But that is only my opinion. I would suggest creating a ship stub for the Union Star. And that would be within the scope. Frelke 22:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The way forward

Hi guys (and gals) Where are we taking this project? Have any of you any suggestions? One thing I thought about was to take any maritime related stuff off the WP:IWNB to-do list and add them here. Another idea was that we might have our own shortcut (can we do that?), say WP:IMAR.

In the first instance I think we could pad out the to-do list and then maybe categorise the items and prioritise?

Any suggestions/comments? Frelke 20:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd say move the maritime stuff over to hear and add a mention of this project on their main project page. Our goals and to-do list needs updating but I've not had the time here (Macworld is tomorrow & I'm mad-busy :) ) Categorize and prioritize, definitely but anyone here should feel free to go ahead and fill out the project page as they see fit - Alison✍ 21:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Ha! We already have WP:IMAR. I missed that. Well done Ali. Frelke 20:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Way ahead of ya :-) - Alison✍ 21:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bord Iascaigh Mhara

I just did this one. Apparently, there was an article from last year but it was deleted for copyvio. Can someone more knowledgeable look over this and maybe correct/expand? - Alison✍ 19:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Excellent stub. And it reminded me to add an infobox to Irish Lights. Maybe we should do a variation of the infobox for Irish Maritime organisations? 21:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Project log

I wonder if we should have a project log. Not sure how to do it. Any suggestions? Frelke 07:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Done! :-) Here's the link. Feel free to update this - Alison✍ 17:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Related categories

BTW, I am working on the related cats at the moment. I'm not going to leave it like that. I'm just collecting the info together in one place to try to make sense of it. Frelke 07:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Sounds good! - Alison✍ 17:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scope

I have reworked/reworded the headings in the scope section. I also removed 'empty' headings. I know many people like to keep placeholder headings in. I'm one of those that doesn't but if any of ye would prefer to keep em in, I won't object. I'm just doing as it says in the book - Be Bold. Frelke 20:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
