[edit]Hellos
[edit]You deleted an article I was writing about Pádraig Ó Caoimh and put a link to an article about a different man. They are two different people with the same name. How do I get the text back? I was just about to add the references. Thank you.Dunmanus (talk) 18:13, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Dunmanus (copied from my talkpage 220 of Borg 18:34, 6 July 2014 (UTC))
- I haven't deleted it, just redirected it. All the text of the Ó Caoimh page is still available in that page's page history. (I see you've worked that out.)
- Are you certain they are different people? It wasn't just the name I was going off, though its really late here and I may have misread something. :-\ --220 of Borg 18:34, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- I am, the guy who's 20 years older was born in Cork and moved to Dublin, he fought in the Rising and was a politician for the 'Tan War'.
- The younger man was born in Roscommon but moved to Cork, he fought in the 'Tan War' and was imprisoned whilst the first fella was winning a seat in the 1921 election. I think the name has mixed up a lot of people though because with a stadium named after him (the younger guy) he should have had a page before. Thanks, Dunmanus.
- Quite a popular name. We also have Padraig O'Keeffe (Irish: Pádraig Ó Caoimh) (1887 – 1963) a musician.
- I have indented your reply as adding indenting to each subsequent comment is normal practice on Wikipedia(WP).
Disambiguation link notification for July 16
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited At Tiri Incident, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dearborn. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Collins Barracks
[edit]Hey. And thanks for your contributions to the Collins Barracks article. As you may have noted from the page history and edit summaries, I made an attempt to improve some of your additions, but - ultimately - was forced to revert to the older version.
Firstly, on the Kent additions, most of this appears to have been copied and pasted from the Kent article, with little additional context added (the paragraph even opened with the word "Kent", with no explanation as to who this was). So that I can assist in understanding whether or how to include it in the Barracks article, can you help me understand why you think it's relevant/important to the Barracks subject? Is it to explain the naming of the married quarters? Or some other connection? Whatever the intent, I'm sure we can find a way of covering it in a more structured way.
Secondly, on the War of Independence executions, can you confirm the source for the O'Brien and Casey executions? Because the source provided doesn't appear to connect them to the Barracks at all. If you can fill in the blanks here, and confirm a VER/RS source, I'm sure there's a solution also.
Finally, on the use of sections and headings, there is such a thing as having too many sections and heads. If a section only has only one sentence or two bullets in it, it probably doesn't need its own section, and should be editted and connected to other related content. In the same way, we need to be careful about grouping semi-related content somewhat indiscriminately. (You may want to refer to WP:WWIN and the section about "Wikipedia not being an indiscriminate collection of information", in short, the editing process should ideally result in connected prose that helps the reader understand the subject in a less disjointed way..)
Thanks and happy editing. (If you can help me with the above gaps, I'll be happy to help find a way to include them in the article in a structured way). Guliolopez (talk) 20:52, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Hey Guliolopez, thanks for the comments. The references do give the time, dates, places etc of the two executions, the details are in the books pages that are scanned and copied as photographs (i.e. they can't be found with crtl+F). I just tried to improve the page because it was very bare, the headings and information are there to guide future edits (by me and others) but if you want to get rid of them then go ahead. Thanks Dunmanus.
Could you put it back a minute and I'll check the link, it should be - http://irishvolunteers.org/2011/05/cork-county-gaol-ira-volunteers-executed-memorial/
Casey, for example, is the 30th picture down. There's also evidence about him in the 9th and 10th pictures (in Irish).
- Hi. Thanks for clarifying that the source/cite content was "within" the images on that page - rather than the text. On that basis I've reworked/readded some of the content proposed. However I've noted and tagged to suggest that, rather than relying on photographs of the memorial and books, it might be better to use the original book from which the images are extracted (or any other work that might be a better fit with WP:VER and WP:RS). On Casey in particular I'm not certain (from the books I've read) as to whether, having been subject to (rushed) court-martial at the barracks, he was actually executed in the barracks proper, or on the other side of the city at the gaol (UCC). Really that should be confirmed with verifiable (printed) cite. Guliolopez (talk) 00:08, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Hey Guliolopez, I took your advice and added more references (including links to books and contemporary newspapers). It looks better now, thanks, Dunmanus.
- Cool - thanks for that. I've tweaked slightly, but otherwise looks OK. I still think there's a little too much weight in the context of the rest of the article, but I guess that's an impetus to expand the rest of the content. I may re-read Dan Harvey's book again with that in mind. (FYI, you may want to look at the suggestions above from another editor about signing talkpage posts, and using indenting - really helps in these types of discussions. Also, now that you have an account, you may want be careful about logging-in when editing.) All the best. Guliolopez (talk) 22:30, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Kent family of Bawnard for deletion
[edit]A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kent family of Bawnard is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kent family of Bawnard until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Jcpag2012 (a.k.a. John Carlo) from Wikipedia 02:55, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello Jcpag2012, hope you're well. I can see how there might have been an issue with this page when it was a compilation of information from other pages (not thatthere's anything wrong with that either) but now it has been fleshed out and contained much history that's new to wikipedia and not known to a wide audience. I take it that what the problem was, and that it wasn't that the page was about a family (Gambino crime family,Kennedy family)? Is it okay to remove the header thing now? (I'm still learning the etiquette), Thanks, D.
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello Dunmanus. All or some of your addition(s) to Saint Patrick’s School (Cork) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:47, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

The article List of Irish Republicans killed in Action has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unsourced list with undefined inclusion criteria. Lumps together individuals from multiple groups, from Irish Volunteers to the pro-treaty forces during the Civil War, which arguably weren't even republican. We could have (sourced) lists of the dead for each conflict or organization, but this deserves TNT.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. buidhe 02:41, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
