Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article.

Citing sources
To clarify: the info you wanted to add to the Republic of Ireland article is important stuff but only if it is true. Clearly, we don't provide a citation for every sentence but if the information is potentially contentious, controversial, challenging then you have to say not only who said it (which you did, good) but more importantly, where is the objective report that they said it so that someone else can read it to check that you have understood it correctly. If you need any help, leave a note for either of us. --Red King (talk) 00:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
