Parts of this article are in serious need of a rewrite, someone seems to have had a few problems with the more eccentric aspects of some of the attendees

The Game hardly counts, it was only relevant this year, session 2. The article in general makes students who attend seem overly strange.

      • We ARE overly strange... but I agree the game thing doesnt count


The Game, the cup pyramids and aren't CTYI traditions, they;re things that happened at CTYI Session 2 2005. THe spoon cult line could do with a rewrite or a removal.

There was at least one cup pyramid in session 1 2005... and i've seen similar things in other years...

I can say from my time as RA in 2004 that there were cup pyramids then. Quite big ones as I recall - Smiley Nialley


I took the t is for tsmart out for 3 reasons, if anyones interested. Firstly, that note was a disambiguation. Secondly, that's just something people have decided to say this year. Thirdly, People can't even decide if its's a silent t, a soft t like tsunami, or not actually there at all -R4ph

I can't remember if there were cup pyramids back in '99 or '00, but I do remember the Spoons were around and the Thursday bathrobes had just started -- though I can't remember the name of the fellow that started it. I guess my memory is failing, since apparently I'm an 'oldy' Liamdaly620 18:03, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ideas for a rewrite

Perhaps starting individual sections for individual sessions/years would be in order? Otherwise traditions from one or two years will seem to apply to all sessions --Nosmo 18:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree

  • Given the recent disgraceful amount of spam and a better understanding of wikipedia on my part I retract the previous. Some mention of the fact there is a strong element of tradition might be appropriate, but otherwise it's not needed. --Nosmo 16:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


The tradition with the spoon predates 1999 - to the best of my knowledge it started either in 1996-1997 (I may even be able to figure out who were the instigators of that tradition). DeirdreT 16:12, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] For god sake get someone objective to rewrite the entire article rather than the current stream of nostalgic drivvel that seems to swamp CTYI

I agree totally. Relevant detalis please! Shanequinlan01

[edit] CTY Inappropriate

I removed the CTY Inappropriate stuff a while ago, but it was added back in. I made the point that the article is entitled "Centre for the Talented Youth of Ireland", so there is no need to mention CTY Inappropriate, but R4ph argued that it was disambiguation, which is fair enough. It still doesn't belong in the "Centre for t..." article, so why not create a "CTYI_(disambiguation)" page, make the "CTYI" page redirect to "Centre for th...", and put a link at the top that says "For other uses of CTYI, see CTYI_(disambiguation)", or whatever it is that is usually put at the top of Wikipedia articles.

Or is CTY Inappropriate even important enough to be mentioned?

What do you think?

[edit] Calling all CTYIzens

Please familiarise yourself with WP:MOS (manual of style) and WP:WWIN (what Wikipedia is not) before throwing in fancruft and irrelivant details. Sorry to spoil your fun, but this is an encyclopedia. Ludraman 00:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Course Descriptions

What loser threw those in? If not deleted they should at least be summarised to one or two lines

[edit] cups

The cups also happened in 2004.

[edit] Copyvio?

Large portions of this article appear to have been cut&pasted from [1]. 71.197.237.5 19:43, 22 July 2006 (UTC) Calling all CTYIzens

[edit] Hey leave taditions back up

Hey traditions of CTYI are very important. Leave these up. I took out alot of bull crap and put the core in. People come to CTYI for the first time and do not look surprised on on thursdays or when people yell out the game. The traditions section is very important, to CTYIzens.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ciaran Boyle (talk • contribs)

  • Please read WP:V and WP:NOT. The content you keep readding is not verifiable and not encyclopaedic. Demiurge 18:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Deletion

Who deleted most of the CTYI article.

It was Demiurge and he was damn right to aswell Dermo69

Im leaving the traditions back up.

No.The fact that you played the game in summer camp is not encyclopedic. Dermo69

-- Yes I agree, it was and interestig section that was totally factual - The guy with the DCU hat

[edit] Dont

Dont Demiurge.

[edit] So

What about putting up a seperate article on CTYI traditions? Especially since we from what I have understood cannot put up a paragraph on it here. - Exiledone 14:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I would agree with that since culture is damned important to CTYIers maybe something based on CTY Culture of the main CTY site Ciaran Boyle 16:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sheila Gilhenny

Can we have a paragraph section on Sheila Gilhenny

Who is Shelia Gilhenny? Exiledone 11:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

ha noob ^^ 194.125.78.29 23:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

She was the director before Colm --83.141.75.114 20:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Is Sheila gone?! When did that happen? Liamdaly620 05:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Well there's a contrast; someone who doesn't know who Dr. Sheila is and sonmebidy who didn't know she was gone. I don't know who I feel worse for.

My last was 2001, a lot can happen in 6 years —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Liamdaly620 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC).
I think the name is written Sheila Gilheany. --Sir Ophiuchus 23:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Icty2.jpg

Image:Icty2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
