Irish language names.
My apologies that I use Irish langauge names. I will from now try and use English names but I just tend to write the information using Irish names, but I have no trouble with you changing it to English once I am done. As long as you can try to put the Irish language translation bedside the names where necessary. Iamdmonah (talk) 18:07, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Please note this is not me being deliberately disruptive. Apologies again. Iamdmonah (talk) 18:08, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * If the person or place already has an article then we do not need to add their Irish name afterwards in brackets for if a reader wants to find out more about them or the place they can click into that article where it's lede should have such information. If it doesn't have an article then it does no harm adding it. The point is to make articles easy to read without lots of different language names, words and bracketed information added in every sentence.especially if an article already exists detailing it.
 * It would be greatly appreciated if you did it yourself. Apologies accepted on this.
 * Though please use academic sources not webpages of dubious reliability. Mabuska (talk) 19:08, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * And in regards to page numbers I mean sources you use like Foster. Mabuska (talk) 19:32, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Irish language names (again)
What was the problem with the name Donal Cam O Sullivan Beara on the page Dursey Massacre? It was the English language name. And what did you mean when you said I "piped it"? Please, just for future reference. Iamdmonah (talk) 14:07, 26 June 2020 (UTC)


 * A pipe link is were you alter the name of the link to be displayed using a | . I.e. This is an example whereas WP:Easter is unpiped. The problem was you needlessy but on purposely added the Gaelic pipelink. Mabuska (talk) 15:49, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

I see. I have always spelled Dónal with the 'O fada' or síneadh fada. I wrote the name myself with that spelling, adding the link (which came up without me changing the spelling) without paying attention to the way it was spelt on the article. It was unintentional. I was not ignoring your advice or wikipedia guidelines but I can see where you are coming from. Thank you. Iamdmonah (talk) 17:44, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * As you may have noticed there are a lot of articles with instances were the policy needs to be implemented however one can't do it all so it helps if editors when adding in new ones know the policy to help prevent an ever-increasing burden. Mabuska (talk) 19:31, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
