Carraroe is known for two things, affluence and beautiful people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.135.137 (talk) 17:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopaedic content

The following information was added to article. Some of it is already in the article, and some is probably not suitable. I suggest you edit it carefully back in, and not in the introduction as this is intended to be an encyclopaedia. We need to have a high standarda article for this amazing Gaeltacht village.

"It has 5 pubs, 1 night club, 1 church, 4 shops, 1 chinese restaurant/take away, 1 dirty take away, 2 hotels, 1 library, a local news paper (foinse), 1 chemist, 1 hairdresser, 1 hardware shop, a community hall, an old folks home, a center for the mentally unstable, a garda station, a secondary school, a national school, a extention to the nuig college and 1 radio station (radio na Gaeltacht) close by."--File Éireann 16:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't a secondary school the same thing as a center for the mentally unstable? Angr (talk • contribs) 08:37, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you get a dirty feed at the dirty take away???

I had chips there when I was at the gaeltacht. Its pretty dirty alright. --ISeeDeadPixels 17:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title

If Carraroe is the unofficial angliscised name of the region, should the title not be changed to An Ceathru Rua? Connor oc 19:11, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, we use English on the English language Wikipedia. Look at every other article (that hasn't been attacked by an activist, that is) and the WP:IMOS. --89.101.141.253 (talk) 09:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, then why is Calcutta listed as Kolkata? No consistency on here whatsoever. And it's irrelevant about who's addressing the issue - don't engage in ad hominem tactics. The official name of the area is An Cheathrú Rua. There is nowhere in Ireland called Carraroe, at least not in An Ghaeltacht. The article should reflect this. Dornálaíocht (talk)
