[edit] Reference
The Irish Emigrant [1] has a circulation of 807 and I question its reliability in wikipedia terms. Tyrenius 22:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- The circulation may be relatively low but it is a pretty professional publication and well regarded. Also in this instance its contents refer to an article in the Sunday Tribune which is a much larger publication--Vintagekits 22:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bit missing...
...From this:
- Two months prior to his shooting he was disqualified from holding the office as he had failed to appear for a monthly council meeting. After his death RUC that he had been wounded in a shoot-out with the security forces earlier in the year.
and this:
- across the Irish border were he given hospital treatment
Tyrenius 22:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What?
- Unionist MP and fellow Dungannon councillor Ken Maginnis alleged that McCaughey had conspiried to killed him whislt before sat as councillors.
I think this needs copy editing. I suggest pasting the text into Word and running a spell check on it, before putting it into wiki! Tyrenius 00:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Short sections
Some of the short sections need to be merged to read as continuous text. Tyrenius 06:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Irish name
Could someone please provide concrete, reliable evidence that the name Martin McCaughey is Máirtín Mac Eachaidh in Irish. In doing so, they should take note that this is a) English-language Wikipedia and b) the WP:IMOS suggests that Irish names be provided when these were used by the subject, and c) that the Irish-language media in Ireland does not, as a rule, back translate names, unless these enjoy some measure of common currency. They should also note that this Hogan Stand webpage[2] does not provide concrete evidence that any English-language name "A" is "B" in Irish.--Damac (talk) 17:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Strike one, two and three as unrelated to this subject. One is addressed by WP:IMOS, two WP:IMOS dose not exclude there use, and three is just comment and opinion of editor. As is there final point, which is not numbered. --Domer48 (talk) 18:18, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- See Talk:Raymond_McCartney#Irish_name for my response.--Damac (talk) 21:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
