Cycling

Disappointed to have my Cycling addition removed (twice) as “blatant promo and advertising”. Other community bicycle programs appear in Wikipedia, some even have their own pages (see Vélib', dublinbikes and Barclays Cycle Hire, there is even a Category:Community bicycle programs. Life is too short to try a third time, anyone feel like editing the following in a way that permits this noteworthy addition to the cityscape be mentioned?

My latest edit read:

In December 2014 a public bicycle rental scheme was launched in central Limerick. Initially 23 locations will be provided with 215 bicycles. the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, the National Transport Authority and the city of Limerick have awarded the contract to Rothar Nua. Coca Cola Ireland will invest in the scheme and in return it will be branded “Coca Cola Zero Bikes”. references I included

Thanks for your attempt to highlight the bike share scheme, disappointed that there was no discussion before deleting the original article and a subsequent attempt to include the public bicycle rental scheme on the Limerick page (as has an attempt on the Galway page) I would propose adding an article based on the section on the "Cork (city)" page as, despite an editor categorising the scheme as advertising, I believe that the scheme is noteworthy and advertising is not the schemes reason for being. The scheme has had a lot of public money spent on it and is not set up to provide a revenue flow to the (admittedly unpopular to some) sponsor. Many other public bicycle rental schemes are included in Wikipedia, with several having their own pages, including some with the sponsors name included in the title, the London scheme is sponsored by a bank (surely there can be no less popular classification of business). There is even a category “Community bicycle programs” on Wikipedia. What is the feeling out there in Wiki land? Is this worth including on the Limerick page? The text, with references, I would propose is as follows: “In 2014, a public bicycle rental scheme was launched. The scheme is operated by An Rothar Nua on behalf of the National Transport Authority, with funding supplemented by an advertising sponsor.[1]” Regards Johnny — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.153.248.8 (talk) 22:10, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Population of Limerick

The info box on Limerick states that the population of the City is 95 854 persons according to the 2011 Census. When you look at the tables in the census, however,you find the number of 57 106 persons. 95 854 seems to be closer to the number of females in the entire county, incl. the City. Which number is correct for the population of Limerick City  ?
