Nice image

 * Hello, that was a nice image you added to the Pontifical Irish College article. Thank you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:09, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Jeanne, thanks for your comment. I took that photograph from his plaque at the parish hall while I stayed in Tallow for a week in 2007. It is a pity that Tobias Kirby has no article yet. Best wishes, AFBorchert (talk) 13:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

For information on rollback see: New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback in the future, just let me or any admin know. Cheers.

Kathleen Hughes (historian)
Read the English "article" and was puzzled to see that the German article was in so much better condition. Then I was your message at Talk:Kathleen Hughes (historian), should have guessed from the start you would have been the one responsible :) Doesn't look like anyones going to improve the English article anytime soon (noone had bothered to add her birthyear for 1 1/2 years since you wrote that message).

 * Hi Finnrind, thank you for improving the article about Kathleen Hughes. Unfortunately, the English article does not provide any references or literature about her. It might be helpful to checkout the sources of the German version. (When I wrote the German article, references were not yet supported at de-wp such that I gave all sources in the literature section instead, each of them with a small comment.) The biographical data was taken out of Rosamond McKitterick: Kathleen Winifred Hughes 1926-1977. In: Ireland in Early Medieval Europe, Cambridge University Press, 1982, ISBN 0-521-23547-2. (This volume was dedicated to her.) Best wishes, AFBorchert (talk) 18:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Andreas, my "improvement" was naught - simply adding the information you had already provided on the talk page. I was actually hoping that you might see fit to improve the article by translating your work from dewiki - I found the googletranslate version (with all its flaws) of your article more informative than the present English version. Just now reading her articles in Prehistoric and Early Ireland, that's what triggered my curiousity. Best regards, Finn Rindahl (talk) 19:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Finnrind, I am sorry but I do not think that I will find the time to translate any of my articles from de-wp to en-wp in the near future. I have some new articles for de-wp in my pipeline and in the moment I am quite busy selecting, preparing, and uploading photographs from my last visit in Ireland this year. In summary, I am happy to help out with providing references to literature and proofreading articles at en-wp but I haven't done any serious article work here yet beyond minor fixes, adding comments etc. Best wishes, AFBorchert (talk) 20:36, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I perfectly understand, and speaking for myself I'd rather you spend your time uploading photos than translating articles from de to en. I only regret I haven't yet found the time to write articles in Norwegian about all those places in Ireland you've provided such beautiful illustrations of.
