[edit] I.R.A. WikiProject?

Hi all, I'm rather new to the Wiki (just joined up a few days ago), but the whole WikiProject concept seems like an effective tool for gathering a group of people together to work on a specific subject. I'm primarily interested in contributing to areas related to Irish nationalism, and the Irish Republican Army, and I've noticed a few of you have quite a lot of involvement in the same area. So, I wonder if anyone would be interested in forming a WikiProject focusing on Irish Nationalism? Wikipeda:WikiProject Irish Republican Army seems like a good title to me! WP:WPIRA would be a great shortcut! I'm posting this up on many different pages, so I would especially appreciate it if, if you're interested, you would join me at User talk:Johnathan Swift#WikiProject IRA.

[edit] Long name

I moved this to Óglaigh na hÉireann (CIRA splinter group) as it's a shorter and I think tidier name. Any objections with this, as I see people were discussing it before, feel free to bring it up. I just went ahead to WP:BB -- Pauric (talk-contributions) 14:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd really prefer Óglaigh na hÉireann (2006). I think it's shorter, and I believe that both groups wish to be disassociated from one another. They're not exactly playing on the same shinty team, though they're playing for the same goal. Something that doesn't reference CIRA.

IMHO keeping the tag CIRA (Óglaigh na hÉireann (CIRA)) in the title might be better for disambiguation purposes. The use of the term by the Provisional IRA and the Irish defence forces could make using a date confusing--Cailil 01:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Politics?

What are the politics of this group and why did they split from the CIRA/RSF? Do they havea political wing, a newspaper, a website? HAve they issued any press releases?

Jdorney 23:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Probably not.People only know about them because of the IMC report. Dermo69 15:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Oglaigh na hÉireann is the legal and official Name of the Irish Defense Forces.

[edit] Merge

Merge this article with Continuity IRA?This group is not noticeable or important.They'll probably fade away and we'll be left with this article. Dermo69 15:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Dermo, wiki is not a crystal ball, who knows what way this group will go.--Vintagekits 15:35, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

They're still not important in any way.Haven't killed anyone and only robbed a post office.Even look at the title. Dermo69 16:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

So who's for the merge then? Dermo69 20:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The CIRA have never killed anyone either, so far as I know. -- Pauric (talk-contributions) 23:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

No I don't they've killed anyone either.But at least most people have heard of the CIRA! And they've carried out several large bombings so they're noticeable. Dermo69 11:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Different organisation different article in my opinion. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 07:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Merge- not notable enough for their own article. Astrotrain 12:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

The AfD proved that to be wrong, so I'm removing the merge tags. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 17:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
