The lighthouse D-Day reference sentence is not sourced, is misleading, needs further details. Look at https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/how-blacksod-lighthouse-changed-the-course-of-the-second-world-war-30319681.html Note:   “Blacksod's importance was due to the fact that it was the first land-based observation station in Europe where weather readings could be professionally taken on the prevailing European Atlantic westerly weather systems.” Also: article cited below states barometer reading was hourly from Post Office … went to Irish Republic’s weather bureau and then was passed on to Allies … (Irish Republic was neutral in WWII).

Rannpháirtí anaithnid - I noticed you put my images into "frames" which allow the captions to be seen at the bottom. Personally, I don't like these and I much prefer them unframed with the caption appearing when the mouse is passed over the picture which is how I put them on. I don't want an argument or anything but in my opinion I'd prefer they were left the way I put them on originally. I've learnt now not to put them on too big, but white frames!!??!!.........? Please revert if you can agree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Comhar (talk • contribs) 10:42, 2 June 2010


 * Looks like you are doing some great work on Mayo-related articles, Comhar, and the kite-boarding image is cool. As a (fellow?) Mayoman - thank you!
 * I don't really mind how the images are displayed so long as it conforms to the Manual of Style. The bad news is that captions are a must. All images, with rare exceptions, must have captions.
 * Typically also images are displayed in-line with text. Articles that consist mainly of images should be avoided. The &lt;gallery&gt; tag is intended to gather up loose images that are still appropriate to illustrate the subject. See here. --RA (talk) 12:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * BTW - I hope you don't feel like I'm being a hard-ass. It was just a MOS edit. I really don't mind how they are displayed so long as they fit with the MOS. --RA (talk) 12:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
