Good to have you on here, I am not here that long myself only been editing since September last. I have only corrected the heading of Tourism. Articles on here are meant to be written for a nuetral point of view WP:POV. You admit your bias at written an article on an area you feel passionate about, and it is beautiful place. I am not going to tell you it should be more neutral you know that but have a read over it yourself and see if you can tone it down a bit. There are sandboxes on here that let you practice WP:SANDBOX and get used to the formating of wiki, adding pipelinks like Táin Bó Cúailnge typed using two open [ then the article title linking them the two close ] as such Táin Bó Cúailnge. This link could be used in the article to link An Táin. Also watch out for phrases that can make it read like an advert.

I normally reply on my talkpage but since you might not keep an eye there I replied here if you have anymore questions for me post the here I will keep an eye on it. Thanks.Murry1975 (talk) 09:14, 1 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Many thanks ! Hope it reads better now. Going to spend a bit more time reading the guidelines before I plunge in again ! DaveRoxburgh (talk) 12:28, 1 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Enjoy, I am not the type to bite anyway, I understand you are new - I am not that "old" on here either. I signed up last spring and just looked at how things are done and why, in some cases the why is a bit confusing, I still make mistakes. One thing I like about here is the guideline assume good faith WP:AGF, which means if someone does something wrong or makes a mistake you should assume it was done as an attept at genuinely improving the project. On talkpages we indent our comments using : . For instance my first comment had none then your comment has one and my next two and so on, I hope you done mind my indenting your comment, it is used to show the pattern of comments and make it clear of who said what. Just look around experiment in the sandbox and have fun on the project. I am on most days so if you think I can help you just give me a shout, if you need specific info or help try some of the admin, they are mainly quite friendly and understanding.Murry1975 (talk) 14:11, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
