Removal of Info on Amenities/Activities[edit]

Hi,

Why the removal of information on local bars, shops, and activities. Surely this is a place to learn about Moycullen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the point of an article about a place not to inform people about that place?

Famous inhabitants[edit]

Ireland's most renowned and internationally famous photographer Fergus Bourke lived in Moycullen until his death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4904:DFE0:716D:7F64:59A7:5546 (talk) 17:29, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Parish or village[edit]

Two of the schools listed are over 10km from each other. That's large for a parish, huge for a village. The bulk of the article is about townlands; townlands pertain to a parish, not to a village. The parish of the same name is more the context of this article than the village. The articles lead gives undue weight to the village. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:18, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, you have a strange fascination for civil parishes, way beyond their actual weight. Just remove the schools and write a separate article about the civil parish. The Banner talk 21:58, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your response ignores the overwhelming preponderance of evidence within the article that points to the article having a wider application than just a small hamlet. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:38, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your response is evidence of your desire to promote civil parishes way and way beyond their actual weight. The Banner talk 11:40, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coming to this article, and looking at the infobox, I'd expect to be reading about a village, not a civil parish. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 13:40, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's because of 3RR. Have a look at a diff like this one. Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:44, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's because I've been to the village of Moycullen, know what a townland is, but have no real idea what a civil parish is, except that it's not something as important or relevant as a village. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 15:20, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Village. I get three results from Google for "civil parish of moycullen" or "moycullen civil parish" (two of them from genealogy sites), and plenty of results for "village of moycullen" or "moycullen village". I agree that someone has an unhealthy obsession with civil parishes. Scolaire (talk) 16:24, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. It's not about Google hits, it's about article content. I wrote virtually none of it. If you want it to be about a hamlet, that's OK by me. In which case 95% of the content will have to be removed to a new article called Moycullen (civil parish). Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:03, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can also start writing about Roman Catholic parishes, they have far more relevancy than civil parishes. The Banner talk 21:35, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to create Moycullen (Catholic parish), be my guest. So that will leave us with 3 articles. Does Moycullen deserve 3? Probably not. In a combined article then, which ought to have dominance in the lead; the hamlet or one of the 2 parishes? Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:40, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are the one trying to change this article into something meaningless. Do not run away now... The Banner talk 23:00, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The main focus in most of these articles is the town/village with some reference to the Parish. Like most of the famous people or places of interest will be from the parish/area not necessarily within the confines of the town/village. Finnegas (talk) 23:07, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, I like to know what kind of info you want to add to the article about the civil parish. They only thing that I know that is specific related to civil parishes is the land registration. The Banner talk 10:05, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
