I see you've posted one of the wreck photos to two articles - excellent job! Your user name in the photo caption is different to this user-page name.--Shtove 17:38, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Michael Corcoran
Yer man keeps insiting that Corcoran was from Donegal. Keep an eye on that page. Windyjarhead 04:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop deleting where Gen. Michael Corcoran was born. [the preceeding unsigned comment was left by IP user 69.248.239.218]

I think I've solved the Sligo/Donegal riddle is regards to Corcoran. Look here when you get a chance. Windyjarhead 21:35, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I've conatcted the library at the University of Pennsylvania - they have no portraait and no birth cert for Gen Corcoran. All they have is sheet music to a military march that was witten in his honor and a lithograph picture of him on the front of the sheet music. Windyjarhead 21:01, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Oustanding research and happy St Patrick's Day to you. Windyjarhead 15:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Did you like the aerial photo of "the Hill" and the Northside that I took?--Vintagekits 16:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Corcoran Ireland/R of I
I happen to disagree with that particular part of the manual of style. Unionist POV if you ask me. I had a similar situation on the Chaim Herzog article. Someone wanted to say that Herzog was born in "Belfast, Northern Ireland" instead of "Belfast, Ireland." But, as he was born before the partition, he could not have been born in Northern Ireland, because it simply did not exist. Again, this is Unionist propaganda trying to create a public impression that would further legitimize the partition of Ireland, to which I am, needless to say, entirely opposed.
