[edit] Old post

I changed the text from "The Royal Dublin Society was founded" to "The Dublin Society was founded". The prefix 'Royal' was added to the name almost a century later (1820) just as Dublin has had 'mayors' for centuries longer than it has had "lord mayors".

[edit] Capacity of the stadium

Does anybody know the capacity of the stadium? Wikipediarules2221 06:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC) Depending on the layout it can accomadate 20 - 35,000

[edit] Merge proposal

There is little point in having a two line description on the Simmonscourt arena separately from the main RDS article. ww2censor (talk) 02:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I think a merge/redirect is the way to go. Guliolopez (talk) 16:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Agree. Sarah777 (talk) 09:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree to merge the RDS Simmonscourt pavilion into Royal Dublin Society. Please mention that the show jumping horses are stabled in the Simmonscourt pavilion during Dublin Horse Show week. - Culnacréann-(talk) 19:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Agree. In addition to the reasons above, there are several other venues at the RDS which don't have separate entries. Vernacula (talk) 23:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Guliolopez, now we just need to expand the article. ww2censor (talk) 04:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Merge/redirect completed per apparent consensus on 26 Jan. Guliolopez (talk) 15:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal (again)

See what amounts to a repeat of the above discussion here: Talk:RDS (stadium). Additional contributions requested to confirm a consensus (one way or the other). Guliolopez (talk) 16:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Still agree - or rather 'agree again'. Sarah777 (talk) 21:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Agree again: there is no need for a separate article as the "stadium" is an integral part of the RDS. remerge as soon as possible. ww2censor (talk) 01:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
