Talk:Clonskeagh

The Dodder doesn't define it's north. I'm pretty sure it's north is at the intersection of eglinton road and clonskeagh road. Also this is in Dublin 6. --Richy 09:45, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not all of Clonskeagh is Dublin 6. Much of it is Dublin 14 (including Roebuck Road). I understand Clonskeagh north of the Dodder is often called "Vergemount" a la the hospital, but most people I have spoken to from there call themselves Clonskeagh residents. --shane t 15:19, 01 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That little bit of Clonskeagh north of the Dodder is a different postal code, different electoral distict & different council area than the rest of it. Clonskeagh Road is about the only common link. --Ljmcg 15:52, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to resolve the unclarity surrounding the borders. They are fluid so it's tricky, but I think I got the essence pretty well. Also, corrected an error in that the Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre are not on Clonskeagh Road but in fact have a postal address on Roebuck Road. Added info regarding St Kilian's and the LFI.

Businesses section needs an overhaul or perhaps deleted?

Most of the businesses listed in this section have moved. Vodafone has moved. Philips are no longer there. What about the rest? Bardcom (talk) 12:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)¨[reply]

I think the section is valid but needs updating. SeoR (talk) 15:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My concern over having this section here at all is how to apply a qualifying criteria for inclusion - otherwise a case could be made to include everything from Chinese Take-aways to Dog-walking services. Bardcom (talk) 16:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very true. Is a Chinese take-away less notable than a statue? Sarah777 (talk) 21:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. Depends though. But mostly true. As a general rule of thumb. --Bardcom (talk) 21:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should have an article along this line for Chinese take-aways? Sarah777 (talk) 22:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ooohhh! Tempting! Must .... resist .... --Bardcom (talk) 23:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Map?

Are there any guidelines for having location maps in articles such as this? Is there a template? --Bardcom (talk) 21:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Some relatively new ones - you use standard coordinates and they lead to a choice of maps - the reader then picks one. There was a bit of argy bargy involving that troublesome editor, BHG. But I think I managed to restore the peace :) You will find the latest at Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates Sarah777 (talk) 21:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
