[edit] Mellows Motor Gang

A transcript of some sort. No Google hits for "Mellows Motor Gang". Is this a Hoax, or something that we can transwiki to wikisource? - RedWordSmith 01:11, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete seems to be more or less nonsense, with plenty of non-sequiters and things that make you go 'hmm'. I do know that S F Cody was a real person, but the rest of this seems more than a little bit suspect. Hoax at worst, context-free historical sub-footnote at best. Either way, doesn't seem worth transwikiing. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:25, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Not sure what the point of it is. Needs something descriptive... Like if they could explain what that is, I might change my vote. Jeshii 02:31, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't even know what this is. JoaoRicardo 03:15, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not an encyclopedic article. Mgm|(talk) 08:40, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Associated edits to 1920 in Ireland by the same hand have been removed as 'possible hoax' - but I suspect genuine. Besides the apalling quality of the editing confirms stereotypes of the Irish. -- A closet Fenian 2005 Feb 8, 11:40 (GMT)
    • Comment. RHaworth, I was the one who did the editing you mention above. I don't know much about Irish history, I just acted on a "better safe than sorrow" atitude. Please feel free to revert me if you think this is not a hoax. JoaoRicardo 03:45, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Utter nonsense.... -- Cabhan 04:00, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
