[edit] Welcome!

Good to see you. If you know any Irish/Gaeilge, or even if you know less than 20 words (like me) you may wish to also contribute to Vicipéid as Ghaeilge, keeping the Irish language strong :). ℬastique▼talk 00:37, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I don't know if my Irish is up to scratch, ach bheinn sásta iarracht a dhéanamh! Ian Cheese

[edit] Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006

Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 04:00, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] tidy up

Cheers, forgot all about it. Will need to put in some allegations later. Fluffy999 21:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Do what you like with any images I put up with incorrect copyright.

Will do. They will have to go. Ian Cheese 22:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] The Diceman

Thanks for adding the category - I didn't know there was one for AIDS-related deaths. Autarch 18:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] program vs programme

Yes I agree we are not all American,

I'm sorry if you feel I vandalised that article in question, however I was not merely trying to enforce an American way of spelling, I was systematically fixing the links that were incorrect. I can see now that the article you quoted is an Irish TV program and therefore should retain its native spelling. In answer to your rather negative question, I don't think there will be any more fixes needed, the majority of problems with the word 'program' were mainly computer programs or American TV shows, other uses or spellings weren't very common.

In future I will be more careful editing articles with international spelling differences, however I feel you could have been more appreciative of the errors that I fixed, as opposed to single easily-fixable that I happened to create.

You're right: my comment was very negative – apologies for that. Keep up the good work. Ian Cheese 23:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, all the best FlyHigh 13:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brendan o carroll

so why was the move wrong then? there is no need for that apostropheOwwmykneecap 15:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Because O'Connor is in the English language, and such names use an apostrophe. His name in Irish would be Breandán Ó Cearbhall. I hope this serves as sufficient evidence. Ian Cheese 16:15, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foster & Allen

Ian,

What copyright is being violated exactly, by placing a more detailed biography on the wiki?

D. --213.202.181.204 16:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

The copyright of this website. Anyway, the style is totally inappropriate for an encyclopedia.
"Foster & Allen’s style and easy listening sound remains as fresh and exciting as ever"
Ian Cheese 20:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


Ian, I wrote the contribution to that website!!!! Please leave the biography as is. Or if you feel it is too commercially orientated, feel free to reduce some of the sales-speak and turn it into a more encyclopedia-friendly entry. The information is accurate and relevant and our office is often asked for biographical information, as some consumers cannot find it online. I am happy to direct them to our website CMR RECORDS, but it is useful to include a full biography on the Wiki.

I appreciate your interest in the entry, but please consult the holders of a copyright before claiming breach.

Regards,

Darren Byrne

[edit] Mark Fuhrman

Ian Cheese, I would appreciate it if you would stop deleting my information on Mark Fuhrman. Mark is my closest and dearest friend and I think I sourced and referenced and verified my information. I do not appreciate your dallying the facts I put in. You do not own that page and your information is not verified and that I can prove. You do not know Mark, nor do you know the true version of the facts and I must warn you that we will consult with an attorney if you continue to put in your version of Mark's lfe. We have contacted the manager of this web site. I would appreciate it if you would refrain from untruths you insist on putting in about Mark's life. You told me that you were not looking for the truth but looking for the verifiable....why don't you follow your own advice. I'am a columnist and writer and Mark and I have worked on many projects together. Again...we have contacted the people who run this site about your insistance on keeping your version in the text of Mark's page and deleting everyone elses. We will not give up on your inflated and untrue versions of Mark's life. Lady Lisa N (sunnytwoyou) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.189.211 (talk • contribs) 06:03, 11 December 2006

[edit] Mark Fuhrman Edit War

I see that Sunnytwoyou has been pestering you as well. She got my e-mail address and sent me some crazy e-mails, including pictures of her and Mark Fuhrman. I wonder if she is really friends with him, or just a stalker. Bscottbrown 02:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing up the article.Ian Cheese 20:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


I saw that picture of Fuhrman in a crime blog group and you should at least be fair and add that she was having dinner with Fuhrman in that picture, if she were a stalker, then why does he have his arm around her in that picture. She must be friends with the guy and is just trying to help the guy with the unfair attacks on him. Come on be fair with the lady. There are a lot of people who think he got a bad rap in this case and Simpson proved what a jerk he was with his last attempt to cash in on the murders with his book "If I did It". Steve C.


[edit] Katell Keineg

Hello Chris. By any chance is it possible to upload that photo of Katell that's in the Darcy Frey NYC Times in 2006? (its particularly fetching). Or indeed any image of Katell? Just wondering? Fergananim 19:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Irish state funerals

Hi Ian, You updated the list a few mths ago to say that O'Dalaigh's funeral was held in the Pro-Cathedral in Dublin instead of Sneem. But he was living in Sneem when he died, a funeral service was held in Sneem, and AFAIK, he is buried in Sneem, so I assumed that the service held in Sneem was his state funeral. Why do you belive it was in the Pro-Cathedral? --Rye1967 11:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
If you go here you can watch the video report at the bottom of the page: "Anne Marie Smyth reports on previous State funerals". She says that Ó Dálaigh's funeral mass was in St Mary's. But I've just rewatched the episode of Uachtaráin, the recent TG4 series, and it looks like the service was in Sneem after all, with soldiers present. Not that RTÉ would let facts get in the way of reporting. Go right ahead and fix it up.
Yeah, I saw that RTE report at the time and considered it the best example of 'getting their facts wrong' that I had come accross in some time. Journalist drawing assumptions, I suppose. Just shows that no-one is infallible. Will change the txt back. Actually, the inaccuracy of that report is what inspired me to create this page - getting MY truth out there ;) --Rye1967 10:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Do you have any info on the possible funerals I mentioned here? --Ian Cheese 16:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
No, but I will give it a mention on the Irish project talk page, to see if anyone with access to research resources might be able point us in the right direction--Rye1967 10:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
