Untitled[edit]

I believe this article would be better split into two:

-- "Rosslare Europort", dealing with the commercial port of that name [categories: Transport in Ireland, Ports]; and

-- "Rosslare Harbour" (Calafort Ros Láir), dealing with the community of that name which the harbour gave rise to at (original name) Ballygeary [categories: Towns in Wexford, Towns in the RoI].

The fact that the owners of the harbour decided to rename it Rosslare Europort a few years back does not mean that the community of Rosslare Harbour has changed its name. I think the distinction is a useful one, e.g. "I live in Rosslare Harbour and work at the Europort".

Other opinions? -- Picapica 11:43, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Seems reasonable.

Is the town definitely called "Rosslare Harbour" and not "Rosslare"? zoney ♣ talk 13:21, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"Rosslare" (alone) refers to the village of Rosslare (a.k.a. Rosslare Strand), which is 8.5 km by road from Rosslare Harbour. There is already a separate article about the village. I propose to split the Rosslare Europort article tomorrow (there seem to be ongoing Wikiproblems at the moment!) -- Picapica 17:06, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Rosslare Europort, Rosslare Harbour, and Rosslare Strand now 3 separate articles. -- Picapica 19:07, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Removal of maintenance template[edit]

This article seems very well documented. Unles there are objections I propose removing the the mainrenance template tomorrow. MarkHarper1 (talk) 14:50, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is also written as a sales piece, perhaps by an interested party - it does not have an encyclopaedic tone. Geopersona (talk) 17:03, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now a nice piece of referenced work but does need to avoid anything that feels promotional rather than encyclopaedic. Geopersona (talk) 17:25, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Full of unrelenting dribble[edit]

The article reads like a mishmash of school essay discussion paper , business & electioneering aspiration PR. It could do with a major edit. Cobalt69 (talk) 15:59, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
