Irish War of Independence

Hi, I've noticed your good work in this area, mostly around RIC related topics. Any thoughts on the main article and how it could improved? Certain aspects of it are bugging me, namely, too much commentary in places, lack of narrative structure (which admittedly is difficult for a guerrilla conflict) and missing out of some important facts -especially from the political side of things. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Your edit to Chronology of the Irish War of Independence

Can you explain what confirmation you are looking for here please? It's slightly vague. Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually after further investigation I think I understand now. It's actually a different MacKinnon, John Alister Mackinnon I think. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:40, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought so. See the Discussion page for "Auxiliary Division" for my detailed objections.--Cliodule 15:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References

Hi again Cliodule. I'm chasing up references for the Irish War of Independence article as requested and was hoping that you could help a little bit. You contributed some quotes and information (originally on the Chronology page, but I moved them to the main article), mostly about British policy I think, and it would be good if you could stick your sources in as we're trying to get the article fully referenced. Thanks in advance, Jdorney (talk) 13:52, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Question

Hi Cliodule - I noticed you made a comment on the Bloody Sunday (1920) page concerning the use of the verb "to kill." I think you were trying to convey the article wasn't neutral because deaths caused by IRA agents are in the passive voice (X was killed by Y) and deaths caused by the police are in the active (Y killed X). Your comments were somewhat unclear, so I may have interpreted your comment incorrectly, but this is how I view the article, too. Maybe you want to check it back out and see if what I wrote jives with your POV? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bloody_Sunday_(1920)#Use_of_the_word_.27killing.27 || Lizconno (talk) 03:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
