categories[edit]

Hi can someone who knows how to add categories to articles help me out - I'm pretty sure that this article would fall under a number of categories such as: nature reserve, avian.. something, and probobly a few more. If someone has a chance, could they add the relevent categories to the article. Thanks in advance, Best Darigan (talk) 15:02, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

..... think i just figured it out myself.. thanks, Best Darigan (talk) 15:05, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

... i've just added some categories, if anybody feels that they shouldn't be there, please let me know or just remove them yourself. I think though, that i have used the hotcat correctly to add appropriate categories. best Darigan (talk) 15:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lowest elevation figure - can it be verified?[edit]

Where does the elevation figure quoted in the infobox come from - I can't see it in any of the references. If it can't be backed up, it would need to come out but surely it can be? My Google searches all seemed to lead to pages that were wikipedia mirrors or looked to be based on WP material Except this one - https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/ireland/#geography - which says lowest point is 0m i.e. sea level.cheers Geopersona (talk) 17:30, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the unreferenced figure of -3m from the article since it may simply have been made up for all we know. Though only of recent origin, there is a lake in a landscaped gravel pit hear Whittlesey in England which is below the -5m contour as plotted by the Ordnance Survey - see https://www.bing.com/maps/?cp=52.554693%7E-0.15624&lvl=15.6&style=s - the reference which asserted that the North Slob was the lowest point in both Ireland and the British Isles (their use of terms, not mine) does not provide a figure for North Slob - it would in any case have to be in excess of 5m below sea level to hold more than the island of Ireland altitude record.
