To whomever I am suposed to be addressing this note:
My name is David W. Bishop (aka Papa Bishop). I live on Tipperary Hill a few blocks from the Tipperary Hill light and wrote the article in question. I have also posted it here twice, only to have it removed again. I hereby grant permission to Wikipedia, and anyone else for that matter, to use the article. I only ask that I be given credit for having written it. If there are any questions I can be reached at PapaBishop@aol.com or by phone. (I'm in the Syracuse phone book.)
Signed, David W. Bishop (PapaBishop)

Should not a distinction be made in this article between the Irish, as in the Irish immigrants who settled in the area, and "the Irish", as in the Irish-Americans who vandalised the traffic lights (seeing as "Sons of Ireland" is a phrase used by the Irish-Americans to describe themselves) Jimregan 21:49 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
- If you can state definitively (and give a source) that it was either Irish immigrants or Americans of Irish descent who vandalized the lights, then yes, a distinction should be made. -- Plutor 14:02, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Clarify list of areas
The box at the bottom of the page should have a heading of some sort. It is not clear what the box contains. I suggest it here as I am not an expert on this topic.
[edit] Question
Has the light ever caused problems with color-blind people? Just wondering. Smartyshoe 20:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Horizontal traffic light
Couldn't a horizontal traffic light (with red on the left, amber in the middle, and green on the right) have been installed instead? It would have looked a bit funny (as does this inverted signal), but it would have conformed with MUTCD standards yet probably not upset the Irish. 76.21.8.213 (talk) 03:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
