Reference[edit]

The Irish Emigrant [1] has a circulation of 807 and I question its reliability in wikipedia terms. Tyrenius 22:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The circulation may be relatively low but it is a pretty professional publication and well regarded. Also in this instance its contents refer to an article in the Sunday Tribune which is a much larger publication--Vintagekits 22:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bit missing...[edit]

...From this:

Two months prior to his shooting he was disqualified from holding the office as he had failed to appear for a monthly council meeting. After his death RUC that he had been wounded in a shoot-out with the security forces earlier in the year.

and this:

across the Irish border were he given hospital treatment

What?[edit]

Unionist MP and fellow Dungannon councillor Ken Maginnis alleged that McCaughey had conspiried to killed him whislt before sat as councillors.

I think this needs copy editing. I suggest pasting the text into Word and running a spell check on it, before putting it into wiki! Tyrenius 00:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Short sections[edit]

Some of the short sections need to be merged to read as continuous text. Tyrenius 06:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Irish name[edit]

Could someone please provide concrete, reliable evidence that the name Martin McCaughey is Máirtín Mac Eachaidh in Irish. In doing so, they should take note that this is a) English-language Wikipedia and b) the WP:IMOS suggests that Irish names be provided when these were used by the subject, and c) that the Irish-language media in Ireland does not, as a rule, back translate names, unless these enjoy some measure of common currency. They should also note that this Hogan Stand webpage[2] does not provide concrete evidence that any English-language name "A" is "B" in Irish.--Damac (talk) 17:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strike one, two and three as unrelated to this subject. One is addressed by WP:IMOS, two WP:IMOS dose not exclude there use, and three is just comment and opinion of editor. As is there final point, which is not numbered. --Domer48 (talk) 18:18, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:Raymond_McCartney#Irish_name for my response.--Damac (talk) 21:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
