History of Limerick[edit]

A comprehensive article on the history Ireland's third City. The information is based on fairly rare publications by local historians, and it took me some time to collect. I'd love some ideas on what else might be included, are there any gaps in the story? Seabhcán 22:18, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting article, though I can't address any potential gaps as I have no background on Limerick (though I will be visiting in January and am very interested in the history!). It seems to tie in pretty well with all of the related pages. Are there any images that would enhance the article from a historical perspective?--Lordkinbote 23:51, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think images or maps would add to the article, but I'm not sure what. I'd love a photo of the Treaty Stone - but I don't live in Limerick anymore and so can't take it myself - can someone help with that? I'd also like to have a PD map of the city, showing the original settlement, Irishtown, newtown perry, etc, perhaps with developments cronologically colour-coded.

Bloody excellent! Hopefully it will incite more of us to try the same on our own regional capitals. Bal o dia ar on obair! More, please! 83.70.154.81 01:34, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Has anything of note happened in the city since the 1980s, since that's where the article currently ends?--nixie 00:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Short answer: no! Well, NIHE became the university of Limerick in 1992. Except for things like new roads, bridges, buildings, etc being built, thats about it, actually. I've just added a word about Limerick Institute of Technology and a general bit about development, and something on the 1996 novel Angela's Ashes. Can't think of anything else.

OK - here we go!

Needs a two-paragraph intro for an article this size - see WP:LEAD
"Celtic Tiger" - paragraphs are decent but see if you can make 3 paragraphs instead of the currrent 5
External links - A couple would be nice

Not too shabby. Take care! Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 09:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

2 & 3 done. Will work on 1 later. Thanks for advice. Seabhcán 10:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How is the city goverened (it isn't mentioned in the Limerick article) and if/how it has changed over time could be an intersting addition.--nixie 10:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The central part of the city is governed by Limerick City Council and the suburbs are governed by Limerick County Council (an unusual situation, due to resistance to redraw city boundaries) Its an interesting subject but more approapiate to the Limerick article. I don't know about how this system has changed with time, and this information will be hard to find until Dr Matthew Potter publishes his "THE CHANGING FACES OF LIMERICK CORPORATION/CITY COUNCIL 1197-2004." book sometime next year.
