Sourcing
Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! I appreciate your contributions!

Now let's look at this edit - You are Irish and were aboard the ship.

However Wikipedia publishes verifiable information. That means that it needs to be published. If somebody says "there were Irish passengers on the ship" then we can say that. Until then, Wikipedia can't say there were Irish passengers. The BBC article used as a source only mentioned French, Germans, Italians, and British, so I pared the list down to those four. Does that help explain things? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 02:19, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I did a search, and found http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/irish-couple-rescued-from-stricken-cruise-ship-535887.html says there were Irish people, so I will add it back with this source. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:20, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
