I suppose if there was more detail it would be useful... -- can  dle &bull; wicke  20:09, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering..
You just left me a message that you reverted some of my edits. I wanted to know hat edits you reverted, so I know what I have done wrong. I am not really used to advanced tools in Wikipedia. --BrownGez (talk) 15:58, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Assessment
As an uninvolved person would you like to check if this article is more than "start" class? It is quite detailed. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  23:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, 1 November is a special anniversary for which I have nominated 2 DYKs. There isn't much time left but I thought I would let you know in case you have any ideas or want to contribute your own DYKs relating to the topic. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  03:49, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Actually neither am I. But someone had to do something for such an occasion. ;) -- can  dle &bull; wicke  16:02, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

The Gas Man (Homicide: Life on the Street)
My only point was that the disclaimer was premature. Minaker (talk) 18:33, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I apologize and you are right. That's why I withdrew my earlier comments. 01:54, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

RE: Review

Photo request
Do you take photo requests? If so, would you mind photographing the corporate headquarters of Aer Lingus, Ryanair, and Aer Arann? The first two are on the property of Dublin Airport, and the third is at 1 Northwood Avenue, Santry, Dublin 9, south of the airport. Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 05:59, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

 * Delete it. Cargoking  talk  17:56, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Liam Clancy
I wanted to thank you for adding the proper reference for Liam's passing on the Clancy Brothers page, as I am not very good at those. I had the great pleasure and honour of a session with Liam and Robbie O'Connell in an Irish Pub in Reno, Nevada after they played a concert here. Wheee it was a grand time and we didn't get home until past 4 in the morning! Feeling a little sad right now, as another friend just passed the day before. Tonight I'll be raising the "Parting Glass" for Liam and Ed. Thank you again, Cargoking.

2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation!
To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.

It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
 * Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
 * Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
 * Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
 * Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
 * Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
 * Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
 * Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
 * Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
 * Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
 * In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.

If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

Re:UFO unit closed
Are you going to update/create the article? --BorgQueen (talk) 08:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Liam Clancy
Still rated as Start-Class. C? B perhaps? I can't decide. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  17:05, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Alas I cannot just yet but I may be be able to on Friday (I think there will still be time then). I have a busier week than usual so can't do anything that's not very small for the next few days. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  21:07, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Temporary hiatus
I leave the archiving duties of ITN/C in your capable hands again until I return from vacation. Give me a shout if there's anything you need. Happy holidays! :) Arsonal (talk) 00:56, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Tony Connelly
Is this him? There seems to be some remarkable similarities and yet he looks younger... -- can  dle &bull; wicke  14:47, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I haven't forgotten. I'll do it now (unless I get distracted by someone else dying)...:P -- can  dle &bull; wicke  21:38, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  21:58, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Gay Byrne
Do you know if this is true? I could not find any report. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  21:20, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Ciarán Mac Mathúna
Do you think he still a Start-Class article? -- can  dle &bull; wicke  20:27, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Christmas (or surrounding period) DYKs
A lack of Ireland-related ones this year and I unfortunately seem to have run of ideas after doing quite a few last year. I have a couple of ideas which just entered my head today but if you have any extra ideas... :P the more the merrier. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  01:13, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Ideas
Nominations (so far)


 * ... that Victoria and Shane Grow Their Own followed the attempts of Victoria Mary Clarke and Shane MacGowan as they grew their own vegetables in an allotment?
 * ... that postman Michael Gallagher predicted that Ireland would experience a white Christmas in 2009?
 * ... that the annual 7 Up Christmas on Ice event was launched by ice dancer Jayne Torvill in 2009?


 * P -- can  dle &bull; wicke  08:59, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

What would you like to be done? By the way, do you think Ryan Tubridy is still a C? -- can  dle &bull; wicke  09:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it "What It Says in the Papers"? The two citations say "It Says in the Papers". -- can  dle &bull; wicke  11:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * And the best thing is there are two possibilities for Christmas, including one for Christmas Eve... which brings the title of this section right back round... :P -- can  dle &bull; wicke  11:35, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I wonder would one of these be of any use? It says "public" but maybe you know more than me when it comes to this. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  11:46, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's going to win this award anyway... -- can  dle &bull; wicke  12:01, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Whew! Here is several dozen potential edits! I wonder how many have articles. :) -- can  dle &bull; wicke  12:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, that sounds good... I shall listen to it later. We can tidy up Nob Nation as well maybe at some stage... :P --  can  dle &bull; wicke  12:23, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll keep you in suspense for a few hours. I don't have time to nominate it now. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  12:57, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Done
 * ... that the 1999 Christmas Eve edition of Morning Ireland was a tribute to those who died in The Troubles of Northern Ireland and featured contributions from Tony Blair and Bill Clinton?

A C? B? -- can  dle &bull; wicke  18:28, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Dave Fanning
How would you rate this one? It used to look like this before yesterday. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  02:51, 22 December 2009 (UTC) Thanks! (: -- can  dle &bull; wicke  20:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Christmas in Ireland
I've just noticed this article and it really needs some improvement and what with it being nearly that time of year. I might work on it later but thought I'd let you know in case you can add anything to it. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  20:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC)



Thanks, do you think his hand is a bit too close to her throat? I thought he was trying to strangle her! -- can  dle &bull; wicke  00:41, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Stabbed through the feet by those nails. Notice how he has nothing but water under his own feet. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  01:39, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * And the final nail in the coffin is that the image of her being strangled is now possibly going to be deleted due to lacking a source. The injustice! ;) -- can  dle &bull; wicke  01:41, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
