 * Redirect to County Cavan. Looks like it was copypasted from somewhere, but also, I couldn't find much info about it other than it being part of the aforementioned county.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 19:02, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I am the writer of the page that is getting all this attention... I have not contributed to this site before. The article is and abbreviated version of a paper I completed as part of my MA in history. It is pasted. It is accurate and it is not anyones work other than my own... There are no other articles on this area I believe I am the only one to do so. I believe as such it should be allowed to stay on Wikipedia.

 * Comment If it is your own work, OK - so long as it hasn't been published. (If it had, you'd need to release copyright.) However, it cites no references. So long as you can reference to outside sources, I'll go for a keep. If you can't reference it, it'll probably have to go. It could be put on WikiResearch (or something like that) where original research is welcomed. Cite Leo Swan and whatever else you used. Find other stuff. Look at WP:RS to see what's good and what isn't. If not sure, ask. Peridon (talk) 16:31, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * On the same token, if it's a paper you wrote for your class, it doesn't belong here anyway; that's a violation of WP:NOTESSAY.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 17:52, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: Can I also add that the article would need to be completely rewritten to comply with WP guidelines. It would also need to be renamed to just "Magherintemple" with the Irish translation added to the first line of the opening paragraph. Heggyhomolit (talk) 21:42, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The Irish 'translation' is probably the original and 'Magherintemple' an anglicisation (not a translation - machaire or machair is low grassland, and Teampaill is as likely to come straight from a shared source in Latin 'templum' as it is to come from English). There should be a redirect from the Irish form when this is sorted out. Peridon (talk) 11:52, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - overly detailed article for an insignificant place. Snappy (talk) 22:13, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Again delete if you must... I will reference this article when i have time. As far as being an insignificant place "Snappy" what exactly does that mean?

Peridon, s far as the names Magherintemple and Machaire an Teampaill both are in use. Machaire roughly means in English a plateaux or a level place on a hill or mountain. A low grassy meadow is Maigh usually anglisised as Moy May or Magh.

The article is well researched and it is correct. If another editor wishes to amend it to meet guidelines for submission that is grand. Is mise le gach meas An Cúl Ghear — Preceding unsigned comment added by An Cúl Ghear (talk • contribs) 00:06, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
