Hi would like to Know would it be inappropriate to add an old picture of the Star Inn from the 1950's to this page? But is was tacken by an unknown family member who we presume dead.

  • Should be no problem at all. The picture would have to be released under a free licence or made public domain. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 14:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks I'll hopefully add it to the Valleymount page within the next month.

[edit] Merge proposal

What reason is there to merge Vallaymount and Lacken, they are on opposite side of the lake and bear no relationship to each other then being small villages in the Blessington lakes area? What about adding Poulaphouca and Hollywood to the mix or even adding them all to Blessington together with several missing villages, such as, Manor Kilbride and Ballyknocken? Not a good idea. Let these villages exist in their own right. ww2censor (talk) 21:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I was suggesting the merge of Valleymount and Lacken together as they are the same parish, and they also share many attributes. I considered this also due to Lacken being a stub article and would look better if it were joined under the heading of 'Valleymount and Lacken' making it easy to find when one wishes to look up the local area.
I realise it is your personal view that they should be left as to seperate articles and i respect that but i would like if an outside person were to review this little disagreement and decide what should be done. --Hegan (talk) 20:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Have you ever seen any Irish village articles called by a joint name like Valleymount and Lacken? I have never seen such a naming structure besides which it would fail the common naming conventions. For the time being it is a stub and there are many other Irish stubs around. That's just the way it is. BTW there is no disagreement, just a difference of opinion between two editors but if you review WP:COMMONNAME as I have linked it you will agree with me too that the status quo is correct.
