Hi there! I noticed your edits to Corrib River. If I'm not mistaken, you've been on ga: (Vicipéid) for a while. A belated welcome to en:! I've some useful links listed below! If you're interested in Irish topics, you may be interested in the notice board for Irish wikipedians

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or contributing: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too. If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

I agree with your comments in the edit line. See Mallow also. It's truly bizarre having Bearlachas of the Anglicised forms of Irish placenames. Only in Ireland. zoney &#09827; talk 22:28, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. It seems some have made it their their task to accept every corruption that foreign and native government has imposed on Ireland over the centuries. But let's just keep working on it. And I hope we can also get the ga: going, as there is really little real writing going into it. Of course, the placename thing runs on Ballina, Castleconnell, Gort, Newry, etc - the en: list of Irish place names is more accurate, even before my own contributions!

 * I'd like to do more on ga:, but find it hard going, as my Irish is reasonably good, but not fully on the tip of my tongue at this stage. Thus it takes much longer to write on ga: for me. The other bigger factor is that I have my work cut out for me here on en: - there's just so much to do. An entire encyclopaedia could be written about Ireland alone! zoney &#09827; talk 00:53, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Well, things are looking up a little on ga:, and I see you've been contributing to it too. We have a spot of bother now there about Oileán Mhanann, or Oileán Mhanainn, among other things! It looks pretty even batting. Meabhar 17:04, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Interwiki of user pages
Hi, if you want to make it easier for people to go to your user page on ga: you can just add ga:Úsáideoir:Meabhar to your User page here, and that will create an interwiki link there, just the same as on any article page. (Likewise you can add en:User:Meabhar to your leathanach úsáideora to link back here.) --Angr/comhrá 12:00, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Dun Bun Gallimhe?
Should'nt it be Dun Beal Gallimhe? Fergananim

My understanding is that the proper Irish for the Corrib river is Abhainn na Gaillimhe or an Ghaillimh, and that the old name for the ciy is Bun Abhann na Gaillimhe or as R. O'Flaherty has it 'Bun Gaillimhe'. The lake is today known in English as 'Lough Corrib', or in Irish 'Loch Coiribe', but I understand that that is a corruption of 'Loch Oirbse' or 'Loch Oirbsen'.Meabhar 23:02, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Irish place names
Hi; I would question the accuracy of many of these place names. Any qualms yourself?Fergananim 01:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe you can tell me which ones on which list! Then we can talk. Meabhar 23:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Meabhar. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Meabhar~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
