Also, anyone who would like to contribute to the article (especially on a section chronicling her work at RTE), please do so; her article has only recently been written and the omission all this time was quite glaring. ] ] 06:56, 7 June 2008 (UTC) | |||

| :The article ] also needs protection or semi-protection for the same reason: ] is ] there too. ] (]) 18:07, 20 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::A protect for POV pushing? I may be missing a trick somewhere, but the only recent change by that editor that I see is . Which seems like a perfectly reasonable reduction of superlative adjectives and hyperbole. Nothing that appears to breach NPOV. (In fact, it seems to support the use of less "interpretative" language.) It certainly doesn't look like the kind of change that requires a block, ban or protect. In fact, apart from your own edit, there hasn't been any major activity on that page for nearly three weeks. Certainly nothing of the order of vandalism, 3RR, edit-warring or other "nonconstructive editing" that would warrant a protect. You may want to read up on what protects are about before pushing for their application in these cases. Or, at the very least, consider addressing any issues with the current content in other ways. ] (]) 18:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::Perhaps I've used the[REDACTED] wrong terminology, but ] has used false accusation of homophobia against ] and deleted a sourced statement provided by the latter. (Disclaimer: I am aquainted with ] and am certain he is ''not'' homophobic.) I may need to read up on the appropriate steps to be taken, but I am deeply concerned that fanatics with much time and energy can turn Misplaced Pages into Soapboxipedia. ] (]) 19:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
| *Sadly, our colleague ] passed away today in a hospice in Hackney in London. Many of you will remember him as being a prolific editor of Irish-related articles, one of the calmer "Troubles" editors.

| *Started article on ] - there are some issues that need to be explained - although ] signed the warrants for them, they were illegal - can anyone explain and provide references. ] and ] are widely known to have been targets, but there were also allegations of other peoople being targetted - are there any reliable references that name them.

| **Maybe. I (or somebody else) could translate the text from the relevant section on the GA project (]) if deemed neccesary. ] (]) 11:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ***It's a sore enough point... But a category? I'm not sure. Do we have it on similar articles? -- ]·] 13:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

| *I started an article on ] from scratch. There was an earlier article some time back, but that seems to have been deleted on the grounds that that one contained text copied verbatim from another site. Hopefully, people with more knowledge can help with this article, especially those who have been involved in such schools, as parents, teachers or pupils. ] (]) 14:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
| **Good start. The redlink in the article shows that we also need an article on the ], which was highly contentious in its early days. --14:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :I did come across scattered references to the controversy in the Irish Times online edition (subscription required) - I no longer have access to it, but there was something about a survey of parents in the area which opponents tried to cast doubt on. This was some months ago. I'm not sure if '''Masterminds of the Right''' mentioned some of the opposition - it's been a while, but that may have some relevant details. ] (]) 21:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::Something that may be of interest to some is that the article ] has only passing references to the denominational nature of many Irish schools and one footnote about calls to secularise them. There has been controversy over the years, including, but not limited to: the controversy in Dunboyne in 2002, the controversy in Balbriggan only a few months ago and allegations that the Dalkey School Project was subject to hostility. I am quite aware of polarising an issues this is, particularly between secularists and supporters of denominational education. I want to avoid bitterness and polarisation. I'm thinking of an article that covers the history of debate over the denominational system of education in Ireland. Unfortunately, there seems to be little material online that is of use as references - I don't want to fall foul of the rule on no original research. Still, it's something that might be of interest to some. ] (]) 20:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

| There really are a depressingly small number of contributors to the[REDACTED] project in Irish with probably a maximum of 50 or so edits a day, often by the same users. It would be wonderful if you who know so much about Irish affairs and have such interest would (if you speak Irish, of course) help translate articles and create new ones. We have far too many '']'', in fact almost half of all articles. A bit of enthusiasm from a few new contributors could really help the project.<BR> | |||
| I'm sitting my ] now and have found writing for ga.wiki really helped my standard of Irish, I also learned a lot from reading other pages. Your Irish doesn't need to be good to contribute - even if it's only adding categories or interwikis. If you can't remember a word, I recommend for cross-referencing. Go n-éirí libh, and keep up the good work. | |||
