[edit] Suggestions
Hello! I notice you adding some useful lists of people and so forth to Kilkenny (and perhaps others). You might want to consider making them links rather than just text: Saint Kieran rather than Saint Kieran. Even if the article doesn't exist yet, it's better for the future to have the links there. Welcome to Wikipedia :) Stevage 14:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kilkenny Cats
I've added more facts and tidied up the entry to make it more readable. You might like to look at other entries to get the feel of how entries look. There are people who look for short/uninspiring entries and flag them for deletion. And we Cats don't want our entry being deleted! Jm butler 13:35, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your edits to Dara
Hi, regarding your edits to the mentioned article, please add this information in a disambiguation page.
- Dara is a "First Name", used mainly in Ireland. It is derived from the Irish word for "Oak Tree". As a pre-Christian name, it is becoming popular as people see it as a way to mark the unique heritage of the Irish Celts. It may be used as a Male or Female first name and there are several variations of the spelling; Darragh, Daire.
The word 'Dara' definitely is more widely used as a transliteration to the name of the Syrian city Daraa, than as the usage specified in your edits. Thanks. Asabbagh 05:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Ballingarry Coal Mines
A tag has been placed on Ballingarry Coal Mines requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Kanturk
You re-insertion of a name under "People of note" without a link telling more about the person has been a problem in the past because then a whole lot of "fun" names got added, messing up the page. I removed all of them some time ago and the messing stopped. I would appeal to you to either write up Paddy's biography, or remove him. There is no point in having someone in there "of note" who is anonymous, it will only provoke renewed vandalism. Hope you understand me, I have nothing against the Sheehans, being one myself from the town. But I would ask Paddy to either out himself or be deleted again, sorry. (This is something like the situation above). Greetings Osioni (talk) 16:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
