Convention: Naming conventions (city names)
 * ''Where possible, articles on places in Ireland should go under placename. Where disambiguation is needed, articles should go under placename, County x . Thus Castlebar but Westport, County Mayo.  This same convention applies to both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Cross Atlantic links
One of Minneapolis's biggest suburbs Eagan is named after a man from Tipperary, that's cool! Davumaya 04:31, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Take away!!!!!
You can not write "Ugly Women/Cross Dressers The town has become well known as having among the ugliest women in Ireland. It is also home to world famous cross dresser Ray "The Ram" Merrigan.". Not based on real facts.The article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.68.142.52 (talk) 08:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I have deleted it by myself. It is not based on any facts so please do not take it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.68.142.52 (talk) 08:34, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

fused with the Virgin Mary
Wouldn't a fusing be at odds with the virgin birth doctrine? Anyway, who says that the statue is so fused? Is this OR or can a citation be found ? Laurel Lodged (talk) 15:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

John Kelly & Ned Kelly
The claim that John Kelly, father of Australian outlaw Ned, came from Tipperary Town is incorrect. He was born in Clonbrogan near the village of Moyglass in the east of the county, some 20 miles from Tipperary Town. Coolfreemountain (talk) 16:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

population figure inconsistency
Just wondering why the opening paragraph says "Its population was 4,415 at the 2006 census" but the "Historical population" table farther down gives a figure of 5,065 for 2006. I'm thinking of doing an article on Tipperary for the Esperanto Wikipedia, and would like to know what population figure to cite. --Haruo (talk) 14:57, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Tipperary International Peace Award Section needed
This article seemingly needs a brief section on the Tipperary International Peace Award (possibly mentioning the Tipperary peace Convention that awards it), ideally linked to a full article on the award. I may eventually have a go at it myself but I'm not sure that I'm sufficiently interested, so in case somebody else wants to get started, here are a couple of useful web addresses:
 * http://www.tipperarypeace.ie/ - this gives a full list of recipients up to 2012; 2015 was Ban Ki Moon, and Richard Haass got it in 2013 (or maybe 2014). Some of the biographical articles for the recipients mention the award, and may give linked citations. Ban Ki Moon's receiving it in Tipperary is currently mentioned in the article on the same-sex marriage referendum, with a citation linked to RTE.

I've now created the section. But at least for the time being I'm just going to create the Award and Convention 'articles' as redirects to this section. Tlhslobus (talk) 06:03, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

the "authoring" vs "composing" etc.
because, quote, "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is a British music hall song written by Jack Judge and co-credited to, but not co-written by, Henry James "Harry" Williams, and because of the copyright issues between them - I used "authored" explicitly to highlight that they can be both considered authors (for reasons outlined in the wiki page, i.e. it's a derived work based on their prior work), but the composer/writer of the very Tipperary song is Judge himself.

As such, please rewrite the paragraph for clarity if you will, but don't blindly replace "authored" with "composed" or "written". "to author" means "to create something as an author", and "author" can also mean "originator" in the general sense, not only "writer" etc.
