Just to say that I finally going to write this: User:Lugnad/sandbox Lugnad (talk) 22:12, 12 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Wonderful to see you back! I hope you are enjoying the sunshine today. Whenever you want me to wade in - just shout. I'll be in reach of my dad's extensive library, which might yield some sources. Smirkybec (talk) 09:58, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Audrey Whitty DYK
Just an update, under a new heading as the old conversation was on its second round of indents, and gone off in other directions... The DYK team accepted the Whitty item, running with the exhibition angle, but it didn't make Women's History Month, but will be all-day 10th April. Let's see if the NLI can sort out a picture by then. I'm now working on the RL Praeger article, which was rather disappointing for such a prominent figure. On streets, nice to see College Green already improved and up for DYK; maybe GA later too... Will circle back to Dame and Henry Streets next. SeoR (talk) 16:29, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Fantastic work! Praeger has been on my long list for a very long time, but never made it to the top, so good to see him get his due :)
 * I'm busy with an Erasmus+ Project working on articles on Irish, Basque, and Frisian Wikipedias this week, so I will hopefully be back doing some more edits here soon. Smirkybec (talk) 17:25, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Still awaiting the big bio on inter-library loan for Praeger, but the article is already somewhat better.
 * That sounds like a fascinating project piece, and on three other language Wikis. I really must do more on the Irish one, but my Irish is fine to manage a little verbally, but slow when I try to write fully properly, and the structures, scripts, etc., in the GA wiki are less developed.

 * Just to mention that Audrey Whitty is now on the Main Page, if there is a chance to tap the NLI's shoulder on Twitter. It does seem that they did not manage to supply a picture in time, pity. Getting back to Praeger and Streets of Dublin soon; several other things intervened over the last 1.5 weeks. SeoR (talk) 01:45, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry I'm only seeing this now! I'm in the process of moving, so hectic doesn't even cover it! Smirkybec (talk) 09:26, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

I've been doing a bunch of Irish country road DYKs recently, with some success. Since Joe Biden has been to Dundalk today, I thought I'd beef up N53 road (Ireland), which is nearby, and has political significance that has never been explored in the article until today.

 * Very interesting! I've been on that road, but I didn't know the history - thanks so much! Smirkybec (talk) 09:27, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
