You might be interested in Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2005 April 30. I am proposing that we rename the category Elections in the Republic of Ireland because the republic was only declared in 1949 and it leaves every election before then in a limbo. Some users want to put everything before then in there anyway, even though the name is wrong. Others suggest creating separate names for every Irish state, so you'd have Elections in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Elections in the Irish Republic (1919-1921), Elections in Southern Ireland (1921-1922) , Elections in the Irish Free State (1922-1937), Elections in Éire (1937-1949) AAAAGH! It would be a tangled mess, with some elections belonging potentially in 3 categories. I fighting a losing battle there to try to make them see sense. (They already decided previously to delete Elections in Ireland!!!) They clearly know very little about Ireland. One individual even is convinced it is a conspiracy in some way to attack Northern Ireland on wikipedia!!! (His evidence, my username is in green and orange! I kid you not!) Some sane Irish contributions from people who know what they are talking about would be a help! FearÉIREANN 22:27, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Careful with redirects
[edit]Please be careful when making redirects. The Order of the Holy Ghost, founded by Innocent III (ca. 1161–June 16, 1216) in Rome is most certainly distinct from the Holy Ghost Fathers, founded in Paris in 1703 by a wealthy young Breton lawyer. Rl 07:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006
[edit]Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 04:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
