Thank you for the warm welcome!

Now that I have understood the system, I would like to identify myself as writer of paras 1,3 and 4 on "Rosmuck" page; as well as of para "Langer" (as well as one other, which I can't remember) on Hiberno-English page.

Le gach dea-ghuimhe (with every warm wish:prayer),

Peadar

Go raibh maith agat as an sár-obair atá déanta agat ar an alt Rosmuck. I have done some work on several of the Gaeltacht articles. Perhaps we may be able to collaborate in future.--File Éireann 17:42, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Obair

Ba bhreá liom é! Peadar--PeadarMaguidhir 15:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: email

I'm not sure if it works on my talk page, but if you go to your preferences (Special:Preferences), there should be an email section in the 'user profile' part. You'll need to click a button to verify your email address, which will send an automated email to you with a link that you need to click.

Hope that helps :) James Kendall [talk] 14:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: red sig link

A red link in Wikipedia means that the page has yet to be created. If you create a userpage for yourself (User:PeadarMaguidhir), then the link will turn blue. Alternatively you can use HTML coding like I do to change the font colours.

An example would be:

<font color="red">Peadar</font><font color="purple">Maguidhir</font>

which would produce: PeadarMaguidhir. You may also find this list of colours useful.

[edit] Edit to Hiberno-English

(Could this come from the French "guerrier," (warrior), via the Hugeunots???--PeadarMaguidhir 07:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid this has no place in the article proper. It's the sort of thing you should discuss on the talk page - the main page being for things we do know (or think we do) - including occasional statements that no one does. garik 09:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


OK Thanks for the Explanation (I'm still a bit new to Wikipedia.

Hi. I just got the following message from someone. I should say I disagree with them - I think they just missed the point of my edit. However, I do apologise if I seemed a bit blunt or unpleasant in my deletion of your bit or in my message: that certainly wasn't my intention.
You got so precious with nice PeadarMaguidhir about "gurrier", in which he is correct. So I removed "Aye" on the same principle. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.42.150.148 (talk • contribs).
All the best. garik 13:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

As this first arose due to ignorance on my part (new to Wikipedia),and bearing in mind that there is a para on the Discussion Page on this subject, I suggest we close the chapter here.--PeadarMaguidhir 13:51, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tacky American St Patricks day

Hi Peadar well its that time of year again and everyone who associates themselves with Ireland will be on show especially Americans. There is a great reluctance among some to criticise it in any way for fear that they are belittling or rejecting 'Irishness' but there is nothing Irish about it! We have a great heritage and history which we should take great pride in displaying to the world on our national day but instead what do the ignorant imbeciles think best represents our culture? - green clothes, Americans dressed as leprechauns, drink, people wearing badges in America with slogans like "f@+k me I'm Irish!", plastic shillelaghs, and in Dublin their inspiration seems to be more South American carnival than anything to do with Ireland. One thing I've grown to loath are Irish dancers who are about as traditional as a 'Made in China'. 100 years ago and even when I was a lad the costumes were tasteful, girls had their hair curled by a family member. Today though and because of the Irish Americans, we have girls wearing wigs that look like a pack of dried super noodles stuck to their head, and the costumes that are so short and covered in sequins and fake orange tan on their legs. What type of image is that to give to the world, to some this is the sole impression people have of the Irish? It's because I care for and take pride in my country and culture that I have these views and I'm sure it's the same for others who think similarly. I posted this comment on the St P Day discussion, no doubt I'll get some firey American complaining. Celtic Harper (talk) 10:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jimmy O'Dea

While I'm not old enough to remember the series you are referring to (The station box), I know that Kelly did a sequel with Sean Hughes in which Kelly played the boss, and Hughes his assistant. Neither show is on IMDB, or mentioned anywhere on the interweb. Though I did find a reference in dail debates Bogger (talk) 15:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
