[edit] N62

Please note: When creating a redirect do not just creat it with a link. When Doing this the redirect will not auto Redirect. The correct way of creating a redirect is by using the #R button on the edit toolbar and then entering in the brackets that appear the article to which you want the redirect to go to. --Natl1 14:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Garda Síochána Reserve

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Garda Síochána Reserve, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Garda Síochána Reserve. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Michael McDowell

Thanks for your message. I agree with your point that constitutionally a TD ceases to be a TD when the Dáil is dissolved - but elsewhere in Wikipedia they appear to be listed as TDs up to the date of the election. Whichever method is used, I think it should be consistent. DrFrench 16:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joe O'Reilly

I would respectfully ask you not to redirect Joe O'Reilly to John Joe O'Reilly. I discovered while creating entry to Members of 23rd Seanad that there was no entry for Joe O'Reilly but that the page was re directed to John Joe O'Reilly a person who died some years ago and was coincicently also a politician. Joe O'Reilly is alive and well and merits an article as a serving national politician. John Joe O'Reilly who had a different albeit similar name can no longer take the page for Joe O'Reilly in my opinion. Rigger30 12:00, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh... oops. My fault. I figured you were changing the re-direct as vandalism, which is completely wrong. My fault, I'm sorry. However, since the redirect was legit, a disamb page is probably in order. Or something to that effect. But I should not have reverted your edits, for which I apologize. Gscshoyru 12:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

No need to apologise! I suspect you had't time to read all the article. You meant well! Rigger30 12:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

If you could creat disamb page it would be great. Relatively new to this and not sure how to do it! Rigger30 12:07, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

That makes two of us... I'm not that good at content-adding. But, the reference is here: WP:D So try that. And thanks for understanding. Gscshoyru 12:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category listings

Hi, When adding new articles or new categories, please include the persons surname and name (in that order) after the category title to ensure that they are listed correctly in the category concerned. Better still, use the DEFAULTSORT option (see Wiki markup box). Look at the end of these changes to see what I mean. Keep up the good work.--Damac 06:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Aindrias Ó Caoimh

A tag has been placed on Aindrias Ó Caoimh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Darkwind (talk) 08:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I noticed this article removal and wondered if this was the Irish Attorney General. I would have though him a notable Irish person. ww2censor 17:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

This guy was/is an Irish High Court Judge and is currently a judge of the European Court of Justice, or is listed on the wikipedia ECJ page as a member. Rigger30 14:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

No need to reply with a copy of this whole post on my talk page as I like to keep discussions together. I watch you page if I post here.
I see you recreated the page but without content—you really need to add some content even with the hangon tag. Both names are spelt in many different ways: Andreas, Andrias, O'Cuív, and occasionally in the English—O'Keeffe. I posted some extra info on the talk page for you. I will see what I can dig up. ww2censor 15:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
You should look at Attorney General of Ireland to see that your new article is linking to the AG I referred to in my post on the talk page, so a disambiguation page will be needed or different article titles. You should probably put in at least as much as is in the Niall Fennelly page. ww2censor 16:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
The guy who was Attorney General was a different guy. I have way of proving this for article purposes but the dates for his being attorney general are in the 1950s. As the guy we are discussing was a High Court Judge quite recently the ages wouldn't add up given that judges have to retire at I think it's 70 years. I'll dig more probably related. As for updating the article all i see when i go to the article is the deletion log. Rigger30 21:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
That is what I told you. They both have the same name which is why I suggested there needs to be a disambiguation page and the names should be moved to some slightly more appropriate name as Wikipedia cannot have two articles of the same name. Andreas Ó Caoimh was a well respected AG and legal personage, just an notable as the current High Court Judge. I don't have any more biographical info on the ex-AGs but his work on the Lawless definitely makes him notable. Your current judge does not have any specific notable things written about him online that I can find and time seems irrelevant to their notability besides 8 years as AG is quite significant being the longest holder of that position jointly with Colm Condon. I suggest a renaming to Aindrias Ó Caoimh (Attorney General) and Aindrias Ó Caoimh (High Court judge) with a disambig page with the current name. when you have assembled some facts about the current judge. ww2censor 22:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Actually I decided to make the disambiguation page and made your judge Aindrias Ó Caoimh (barrister) and his father is now at Aindrias Ó Caoimh (Attorney General) where a good bit of additional info has been added. have a look at List of Members of the European Court of Justice to see that they were both already listed there for quite some time. ww2censor 03:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

That's where i originally created the page from. I saw there was no link and made the page with the intention of going back to it. I was doing some work creating and updating pages for Irish Supreme Court Judges at the time. In the end the page was dropped before I got a chance to return to it. Thanks for your input and help much appreciated Rigger30 15:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't stop looking for more info and making constructive edits. If you need any help in the future, just ask. ww2censor 16:08, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

In the process of putting what I found up at the moment!Rigger30 16:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Irish articles assessments

It seems that the assessment of Irish articles has fallen off the radar but recently Flowerpotman, Sarah777 and I have been doing a little work on this as well as actually classifying articles (actually Sarah has done the most work). Anyway, you are listed as a member of the WikiProject hence this post.

  • The first thing that needs doing is to work on the WikiProject template. Actually there are two templates both of which get recorded by the assessment statistics bot that collects the ratings and creates the listings in the category Category:Ireland articles by quality. The two project templates are {{Irelandproj}} listed on the main project page and {{WikiProject Ireland}} listed on the assessment page—the first allows both quality and importance rating as well as nesting but no reviewer comments, while the second allows quality rating and comments but the importance does not seem to work and comments are not included. This needs to be fixed, so we use one that works fully—can you help?
  • The next thing is to decide if we just let editors assess as they wish or to create some criteria or guidelines for rating the quality and importance of the Irish articles. Personally I am in favour of some guidelines—some will be easy to decide while others are a little more complex. What do you think?
  • Some projects make lists of articles for assessment while other go after groups of articles by category. What should we do? A mixture of both by using a "To do list"?
  • As of the last assessment statistics bot run on Sunday, August 20, only 1462 articles have been tagged, of which 1156 have been assessed for quality but 660 of these have no importance value.
  • Besides these 1462 there must be hundreds more untagged articles that should be tagged when we get the template issue mentioned above fixed.

We are not bad in our assessments but some projects have all their articles assessed while others are lacking more than we are. We can really use a few active editors to bring assessments to the fore. Please reply on the assessment talk page as to what you can do. Please help out. ww2censor 17:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

The reply, as I requested above, should be to the project and not personally to me, so I will put it there for you. BTW, you might want to put the assessment page on your watch list. ww2censor 15:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Terrence Slowey

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Terrence Slowey, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Terrence Slowey.
