[edit] Changes
Recently added a lot of material to this reasonably new page. Please take a look, and tell me how to improve this article. Some improvements are obvious - more photos, drawings, etc., are needed. Some sections need a few more details added, especially 'Gaelic Resurgence', 'The 1798 Rebellion' and '19th Century to Present'. Other sections are reasonably complete.

[edit] Clean up
The clean up tag is specifically referring to the excessive amount of internal linking. Please reduce the redundant links, and only link to relevant and important terms. Thanks.-Andrew c [talk] 11:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Here are some tips. WP:AWB has a feature that points out redundant links. There are not many circumstances where a word should be wikilinked more than once in a section (take "viking" as one example). Also, per MOS:UNLINKYEARS, years should almost never be linked. Thanks for working on clearing up this issue! I appreciate the effort.-Andrew c [talk] 01:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the 'cleanup' tag as I have removed a huge number of unnecessary links, as you requested. Please check again to see if anyhing else needs fixing. Dneale52 (talk) 02:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Since you are a primary editor to this article, and relatively new, I'd ask that you kindly not remove the clean up tag again until a third party agrees to remove it, or if there is consensus between us here on talk to remove it. As you can see, there was still a ton of work to do. I have done the years, and I started going through the redundant wikilinks A through B (we still have C through Z to do). On top of the redundant links, there are some basic terms that shouldn't be linked, like English and Europe and such. For the Bibliography section, the authors should be last name first, and all the entries alphabetized. Quotes should be used for the titles of short works (articles, essays, etc) while italics should be used for longer works (books, collections), but quotes and italics should not be used together. WP:CITE has more info. Basically, you should choose a style guide (such as MLA or Harvard) and be consistent throughout. Adding ISBN numbers can be helpful. Perhaps look at a featured article, for an example could help. I'll try to help the clean up over the next few days, and I'm sure we can bring this article up to better standards with a bit of collaborative work!-Andrew c [talk] 03:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Great work. I've cleaned up a bit more, and removed the tag. It isn't perfect, but it doesn't deserve a bit header tag anymore. Keep up the good work.-Andrew c [talk] 02:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
This page appears to have been Vandalized. The page appears entirely different when logged in. The words "From Wikipedia, the free Pokémon encyclopedia" also appear at the top of the talk page. Dneale52 (talk) 01:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Appears to be a Cache problem (different Servers) - fixed by the purge function or when logged in. Dneale52 (talk) 04:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 20th Century to Present - Recent changes
This period has now been updated, but because of its large size, much of it has been moved to a new page titled County Wexford (1914-1923). The main points of this period have been summarized and a link to the new page created on this page. Dneale52 (talk) 08:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
