Uniform Penny Post

I don't think Bardcom's right in what he says. I thought the UPP was valid to and from Ireland. What do you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blacklans (talk • contribs) 21:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

It was valid in Ireland too. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is the most accurate and not offensive to us Irish. Here is a good Irish reference to it and this one also. Cheers. ww2censor (talk) 00:01, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I'm now getting the drift, bit slow off the mark eh. So its British Isles that's the problem. How pathetic is that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blacklans (talk • contribs) 10:23, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

No, that is not pathetic, it is inaccurate and verifiable. British Isles is a geographical term. Royal Mail, the government department and postal authority of the legal entity of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland enacted laws that brought about the Uniform Penny Post. British Isles has no legal standing in this matter even though some people use the terms interchangeably but inaccurately. That's all there is too it. ww2censor (talk) 14:27, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - good reply, couldn't have said it better. Just as a small matter of interest, was the UPP valid in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man? --Bardcom (talk) 15:08, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Not sure, I need to go look in my philatelic library. Will report here later. ww2censor (talk) 15:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I found and added an image of the PO regulations issued on January 7, 1840 and it only mentions UK. Salt's book does mention Isle of man and Channel Islands but it is the only one; unfortunately he also uses the term British Isles. I wish I had some Robson Lowe books but don't own any but I will keep looking. ww2censor (talk) 22:16, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

'Puca - Poulaphouca' edit

Hi ww2, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but i notice you edited my addition to the 'puca' page. my reason for adding a "see also; Poulaphouca" note was because i'm pretty sure the name 'poulaphouca' is translated as 'hole of the puca'. i'm not 100% sure but i just thought it was worthy of adding to the poulaphouca page. oh well. if you get the time could you email me at jimmmypeas@gmail.com. i would just be interested as to how to go about adding things legitimately. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.100.250.230 (talk) 23:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

You need to provide a verifiable source, which, from your comment, I doubt you can provide. Otherwise it is original research or crystal balling. Please sign your posts. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 23:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. but I made an addition to the Blessington page recently adding that 'the remains of roads are still to be seen leading into the lake' and, (although it is entirely true) I added no proof whatsoever of the claim and it has not been deleted. Could you explain that please? thanks. sorry I don't know how to sign posts. :/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.100.250.230 (talk) 23:38, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Not every edit has a reference or source quoted though if it could be questioned it should provide one. I am pretty sure I could find one for the old visible Blessington Lakes roads; a photo might do the job too. In the past references were not required, but due to the criticism of the verifiability of Wikipedia, references and sources are now requested to prove the veracity of statements. Some editors do remove some new unsourced edits; I do this occasionally but it depends on what it is. Sign by adding 4 tildes, try this page for more info. Why not get a registered account and not worry about getting a different IP address to edit from the next time you log on? Cheers ww2censor (talk) 03:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Editing and Tag Cleanup

Thank you for the discrete and civil way you edited my contribution article Finbar Wright. Any help is greatly appreciated. I need advice in cleaning up a tag on self-same Discussion page - After editing and cleaning up content who do I write to have the BLP-deletion tag removed. Again thank you, Walknnirishrain 14:08 3 July 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Walknnirishrain (talk • contribs) 18:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. The BLP tag is a warning notice that comes as part of the Biography WikiProject and is affixed to all living persons as a warning to try to ensure non-libellous edits that are properly sourced are all that is added. In my assessment critique I mention the references too. Have a look at some of the Irish featured article of people to see how reference are done properly. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 18:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation...it is tough for a person to know all the rules/policies but with kind help such as yours we can learn. I understand now the references issue, but wouldn't the links to such articles etc, go out of date at some point? On the official fan club website we do have 95% of the articles archived - would those be sufficient for "Reference" links? I did want to ask if the page is, in your opinion, acceptable under Wiki standards now with the editing I've done the past few days? Regards, --Walknnirishrain (talk) 18:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Let's just look at the reference thing for a minute. If you go to George Moore and look at ref #30 which happens to be broken now, you will see that it has an access date of January 2007, but sometimes you can search a site and find the new location, so fixing the link. However, I could not find it but if I go to [http//;www.archive.org archive.org] and paste in the original link, I get this page and knowing the January 2007 date I will click on the next earliest date and there, for the Dec 28 page we have an archived version of the original assessed page to review. Some editors will now link to that page. In your case I would step carefully as your words may indicate some conflict of interest on your part. Besides which fan sites are not verifiable sources. You need to look for better ones; newspaper, well known news websites and critical books will be better. The Irish Music Association's link does not bring you to the award page and it should, but I could not find one, so just make the statement and unlink it until you find a newspaper reference, or some such. But one step at a time. Two similar portraits add nothing to the article. Images should really be there to illustrate associated text, which your does not do. Do you have a picture of him singing with the Irish tenors, or some other interesting addition? There is also no real need for a section heading "Biography" because the whole article IS a biography. There should be nothing redundant in the article, otherwise it seems ok for the length which is quite short for now. BTW, we use the piped link Ireland] because Ireland directs you to the geographic island article not the country (don't ask). Cheers ww2censor (talk) 21:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the tips - noted. Will search out the references on hand and see if links are available. Also uploaded a new photo. Perhaps, with all the editting and updating, the "caution sign" on the Wiki-Ireland stamp might be removed? Just asking. Thank you for all the help ! --Walknnirishrain (talk) 02:29, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll remove the attention tag for now, but I must say the photo quality is not great and you are not supposed to force the size of the images per MOS image guidelines. I will also remove the unnecessary image and the biography section head. If there was enough text you could use "Early Life" and "Career" as section headings. BTW add an extra semi-colon to indent each post. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 02:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the assist! I have set about following your advice and cleaned up the article considerably, and continue to do so...hopefully this will contiue to improve. Again, thanks!--Walknnirishrain (talk) 14:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

History of Limerick

Hi Ww2, just wanted to let you know about this. I'm not going to tackle it myself, but I though it was worth mentioning to you, at least. Regards, Ceoil ^sláinte 18:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Already noticed it and am looking for sources, but I'm busy on a big citation project right now, so don't know if I can do enough. Thanks anyway. ww2censor (talk) 18:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Thats grand; best of luck with it. Ceoil ^sláinte 18:51, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
