A very large amount of pov and OR material was recently added to this article, more or less claiming that the chronicles are authentic. The article is full of comments such as "A factor in the general resistance to consider evidence with respect to the chronicle was the reports formally here on wiki and elsewhere claiming it to have been disproven. Wiki claims to follow the Darwinian principle of evolution, allowing all equal access to edit content with a view to enable an erosion of inaccuracies out of its pages. Skeptics of the chronicle are invited to add considered content to the section that follows." Anyone know anything about this? Dougweller (talk) 15:48, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Note: I have cut the remainder of this discussion and pasted it to Talk:Chronicles of Eri#Moved from WikiProject Ireland. --Scolaire (talk) 12:27, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
- The original seems to have a lot in common with the Ossian saga / myth / fakelore that was published around 1762.PatrickGuinness (talk) 10:41, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I see you may have an interest for The Waterboys' Paul Brown article. The artist requested help on the IRC channel recently to develop this article, and made a copy and paste copyvio draft on the talk page (which has already been taken care of and deleted). As a result of this, I talk to them a bit and got them to post a list of possible sources on the talk page instead. I've copied the WikiProject banners from the band's talk page, and this page will need to have each WikiProject assess their own importance and ratings on the topic. Thank you for your assistance. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 20:00, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Kingdom of Ireland - flags
An editor is deleting the flags prior to the Lordship of Ireland. His rationale is: "In every single Wikipedia pages (except this one), the image sections of predecessing and sucessing polities would be left empty if it doesn't have an unanimous representation, or doesn't have a representation at all (like in this case). It is a universal common practice since the birth of Wikipedia. It is forgivable for users putting disputed flag/coat of arms in the image section, but insisting to type words in that section while that polity doesn't have a flag at all…the name of that polity is rather short so it's possible to fit in those words for this case, but there are also plenty of articles that have long names, it's thus unfeasible to use words as representations, therefore the section should be left blank under universal practice. Pktlaurence". Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:28, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- A few diffs would have been handy. I have responded at Talk:Lordship of Ireland. --Scolaire (talk) 17:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
WikiProject X is live!
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/WikiProject_X_icon.svg/100px-WikiProject_X_icon.svg.png)
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Cenél nEógain
I believe I fixed the ancestry chart in Cenél nEógain, but the old ascii version was pretty mangled, so some double checking would be helpful. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 23:40, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Help with a draft?
Can someone help find sources for the draft article Draft:Ag Criost an Siol? A user has requested its restoration, but I think that it'd help if someone familiar with the poem helped look for sources since they said it's a well known liturgical poem in Ireland.

Discussion at Talk:Republic of Ireland
I would like editors with some knowledge of the question to have a look at this discussion at Talk:Republic of Ireland. The issue is whether to include or omit a statement that the Republic of Ireland Act 1948 did not make "Ireland" the name of the state because that would be in conflict with the constitution.

Spurious paragraph?
- I am considering removing the paragraph Peace_Commissioner#Foreign_Recognition because it is uncited and sounds dubious and seems to be an advertisment for a Commissioner for Oaths. Does anyone have any citations for this paragraph that can be added, or should it be removed? --19:01, 14 February 2015 (UTC)Quentin Smith 19:01, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
