Antwerp
Hi there! Always nice to see people interested in (foreign) cities 'n legends :) I'm longing to go back to Ireland and visit some friends up in Waterford and Cork myself. Have a great trip to Antwerp, just remember; over here we have just one season in one day, not 4 (the rainy one, obviously ;-)--VanPeel 03:10, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Good to hear from you, mallow threw me off, but dunshaughlin finally put it back together, sent a wikipedia email. Kglavin 19:30, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Must Kill Kenny
I changed it because 'Hurl' is used almost everywhere. Even by commentators on Radio 1. Maybe I should phrase it better, but I just didn't want to leave the impression that it was exclusive to Kilkenny --Irishpunktom\talk 18:53, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

St. Patrick
Hello. I left the following on the St. Patrick discussion page, but I don't think you saw it. So, once more with feeling ...

St. Patrick: Fact and Fiction What are the sources for the following statments?


 * 1 - "born Patricius Magonus Sucatus"


 * 2 - " seems to have studied at the monastery of Lérins on the Côte d'Azur from 412 to 415 ...He spent the next 15 years at Auxerre were he became a disciple of Saint Germanus of Auxerre and was ordained possibly about 417."


 * 3 - "Saint Germanus consecrated Patrick bishop about 431, and sent him to Ireland to succeed Saint Palladius, the first bishop, who had died earlier that year. "


 * 4 - "There was some contact with the pope. Patrick visited Rome in 442 and 444. "


 * 5 - "Popular devotion to Patrick began in France, long before Sucat received the noble title of Patricius"

These and other statments seriously mar what is otherwise a fairly good and reasonably well written article. Also the chronology implicit in them is all over the place. The fact of the matter is that no one know for sure what the dates of Patrick's life are; those of 461 (arriving in Ireland) and 491 (death) are estimates arrived at only after decades of discussion. Will whoever rewrote this article please show the basis for including these statments. Thank you. Fergananim

After reading your added content, I was able to edit the DYK blurb on the Main Page to add mention of Ireland. Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 12:44, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

Conas atá tú?
The Irish wikipedia is in desperate need of contributors. At the moment there is around 5 active wikipedians(or vicipéideoirí in Irish). If you can, come and help us at, it doesn't matter your standard of Irish, there are people there to correct it for you. We're at 778 articles at the moment and pushing for 1,000 but it's slow work with so few contributors. So come and help us pleae. Bí ann! - Dalta 22:07, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out with these new hoaxes. New modus operandi seems to be to write real articles, but decorate them with images from Trinity students. I have put two of them on WP:IFD; the last one on Pamela Fitzgerald seems to pan out. Lupo 07:15, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

I can help but notice that lupo, megan1967 and you seem to be on every page that is up for deleation.I am woundering are the three of ye working together or is there a power strugle to become the most influncel person on wikipedia. Ye also seem to keep Trinity as your scape goat because it has a large base of people under the same IP address. I know that some of there sites were hoaxs but other look real and you still tried to deleat them.
