Streedagh photo
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)
 * So it wasn't verifiable as Armada. Oh. Thanks for the effort.--Shtove 01:04, 21 January 2007 (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)

Photo
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.

Thanks
Sorry meant to reply to your earlier message as well, but got tied up in writing various articles. One Night In Hackney 303  13:07, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well there's articles to be written, and nobody else seems in any particular rush to do them so I figured I'd make the best use of the never-ending ArbCom. Pat McGeown and Joseph Fenton are my latest ones.... One Night In Hackney  303  22:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Derry, County Sligo
Hi. :) Another administrator felt that the article deserved a wider hearing than WP:PROD, so I have procedurally nominated it for a deletion discussion. The conversation will be at Articles for deletion/Derry, County Sligo. As the nominator of the speedy and the prod, you may wish to contribute to that conversation. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Benbulbin
Alright Q, hows things?! I see you moved the Ben Bulben article to "Benbulbin" - whats the rationale behind that? For what its worth my my favour option for the article title is neither of these. On another note - did you see that I got the 4 Lights up for AfD! Input from another Sligonian would be helpful.--Vintagekits 19:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in replying to you, VK. I probably moved it too quickly, without checking with others first. I was going through the Gazetteer of Ireland for Irish names of places in Sligo, and came across Benbulbin as the correct spelling.  I moved Ben Bulben to this, given that I've seen all three names spelled in different places (Benbulben being the third), and as they are all pronounced the same way, I felt it was better to give the article the corrected spelling.  A bit hasty?
 * P.S. Good catch on the lights, sorry I didn't see the AfD till too late.-- The.Q (t) (c) 16:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Have your say on the talk page. As you know I would go for the latter!--Vintagekits 22:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Sligo Jail
Plenty of my "rellies" spent a few nights here. What you reckon to it? GOt anymore sources for it?--Vintagekits 22:25, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Good article, VK. I'm fixing a few typos (as I know they're not your thing!), and I may see about a photo or two of the jail as it now stands. I couldn't have much more sources than you've used, could I? Well done. --  The.Q (t) (c) 16:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
