Talk:John O'Leary (Fenian)

Move proposal
Can we move this article from John O'Leary (poet) -> John O'Leary (fenian) he is better known for his activities in the Fenian Movement.--Padraig (talk) 19:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeh, I will be expanding this article over the comming days, and would like the move as it is the fact that he was notable not as a poet (as such) but as a Fenian. --Domer48 (talk) 20:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I would agree more notable for being a Fenian than a poet. BigDunc (talk) 20:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Should "Fenian" not be capitalised? ie: John O'Leary (Fenian)  A l i c e  ✉ 02:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes. --Domer48 (talk) 08:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It should indeed well spotted Alice. BigDunc (talk) 09:57, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Why not cover all the bases and move it to John O' Leary (Fenian poet)? ;) One Night In Hackney  303  10:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I would agree with that.--Padraig (talk) 11:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

The reason John O' Leary (Fenian poet) would not work is because, is known as the Fenian poet, and I have some edits for him as well, but good suggestion. --Domer48 (talk) 13:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Disappointing that he does not have his own article - or am I looking in the wrong places?  A l i c e  ✉ 15:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Looking in the wrong place needs more work-- BigDunc (talk) 16:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Expand sections
I will expand the sections over time with material from the IRB related articles. --Domer48 (talk) 14:17, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Monarchist or republican?
The initial description list O'Leary as an Irish republican. This seems to be a catch-all term for anyone who wishes to see the political seperation of Ireland form the United Kingdom, however in the Political Views section it describes him as a monarchist. These are contradictory terms. It would be better to describe O'Leary from the outset as a separatist rather than a republican. Milzo1986 (talk) 10:25, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
