[edit] Orange walks
Why are they tucked under "Northern Ireland"? 125.239.210.247 23:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, the heading makes no sense. The section is about what happens in Scotland, not Northern Ireland. I will change it. Spylab 00:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Loyalist Immigration
Something that has always bothered me....Loyalist immigration.*
Is it not true that the extreme protestantism/orangism was brought over by Loyalist immigrants? All the talk seems to be about Catholic migration, yes most immigrants were Catholic but there were a few Protestants who seem to have had such a great influence.
Essentially is it not true that the North's troubles had been shifted onto Scottish soil?
- = Please note. Loyalist immigrition does not bother me, the fact that it is not mentioned does.
[edit] Citation needed
- I would! The article is severely lacking in sources for its claims. A visit to a Glasgow central library should yield several books about Glaswegian sectarianism, which you can then use to source all the claims and remove the citation-needed notices. The alternative is to remove the claim, which I don't think is necessary because (from my understanding) the claims are true. 195.173.23.111 12:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Keep?!
Come on. This article hasn't got a single citation out of various different claims, it's laid out terribly and looks half-arsed. Delete it.86.139.116.194 07:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree with this, unless the article is redone. It is extremely dissapointing. Sectarianism in Glasgow has a long history; this is hardly gone into at all. Citations are missing, and some of the choice of phrases "vibrant and modern city" seem somewhat opinionated. Probably the worst article I have seen on Wikipedia: GumbootMadness
[edit] Merge into Sectarianism
If this article is to continue to exist, then it should be moved into sectarianism as a sub-section, as it is clearly concerned with one specific context in which sectarianism exists. Maxim662
[edit] Deletion of Unsourced material?
To maintain Wikipedia's verifiability requirement, I suggest that all unsourced material in this article be deleted if sources are not provided soon. Maxim662
[edit] The intro
This article is terrible, and the intro is particularly bad. The reference used, like most research into Scottish sectarianism, shows that it's not a very serious problem. But here it's used to justify the vague claim that "Sectarianism still exists in certain sectors of Glasgow's population". What the reference actually says is that "These findings suggest that sectarianism still exists in Glasgow or at least that it is widely believed to still exist" (my bolding).--Nydas(Talk) 12:32, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 'Demonstrations' against Mo Johnston
I've deleted the reference to 'demonstrations' against Mo Johnston joining Rangers. The 'evidence' cited was a journalist profile of the player's career in Toronto. No firm evidence was provided in that article. Moreover, the text included in the earlier version gave no indication of the timing or scale of the supposed demonstrations, their origin, the nature of the demonstrators or their broader significance. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I remain unconvinced that anything remotely constituting a demonstration ever took place (although that is not to deny that Johnston's signing prompted opposition, manifested in other ways, from fans of both Celtic and Rangers).--Stockton 12:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
