RA, I've reverted your recent edits at ]. Please discuss at the Talk page to explain what point you're trying to make. The sentence structure appears artificial and awkward, and is not "plain English". If you want to simply make the point that "Britain" is derived from "Britannia", what not just say so? If I'm missing a subtlety somehow, please discuss first. --] (]) 00:35, 15 September 2010 (UTC) |

==ROI links== |
|
|
Hello RA, tell me, what was the problem with most of the fairly straight forward links? They simply added a little clarity and insight, like 1918 elecs., First Dáil, Westmin. to Commons, etc.. I didn't alter the texting (other than one small add.on, ok), but it's a little odd that Soloheadbeg for example, may not be a sub-link? I'm not trying to roll out a discussion, it's just that refraining to be factual really baffles and makes an odd impression. Another point, its certainly accepted that the B&Ts terrorised, but really tortured, citizens? There's a huge difference, why I feel "allegedly tortured" (correct would be terrorised) is justified again in the interest of credibility. Other articles are clear in using "suspected" in the case of all those informers, which also sounds more credible? Perhaps I should have edited singularly rather than suffer a bulk reversal due to one or the other disfavoured link? Greetings, ] (]) 23:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC) |

Hello RA, |
|

On the meet up, I was wondering while you're all there if you could ask around and if anybody is from or near Limerick, if they could, at their leisure, take a picture of Croom Castle so we could upload it to the page ]. There's no rush, of course, but getting the word out might just get a picture back to us one of these days. Thanks.] (]) 22:16, 20 September 2010 (UTC) |

I made a slight correction to the format of the reference you inserted - you put "quoute" rather than "quote" so the words of the quote weren't showing. But there seems to be a typo in the quote itself which you might like to look at - "..recognized by internationally geographers..." ...? ] (]) 07:14, 21 September 2010 (UTC) |

::While we're talking about "typos" - "recognized"? Should it be "recognised"?

:::I feel churlish pointing out that "C. Carpenter" isn't credited with being one of the writers for this work, but a consultant editor. Has a BA Geography from Oxford though, so on balance .... but then he makes the mistake of continually referring to "Republic of Ireland", and states "However, in popular usage, "Ireland" sometimes refers to the republic. The historic name Eire, which was the official name of what is now the Republic of Ireland from 1937 through 1949, is also used." Like .. what a very British POV... There's lots of ... British naming ... in this book. For example, the chapter "Ireland" starts off correctly, and then on page 54 states that the "Official country name" is "Republic of Ireland". What tosh. Completely discredits this book. --] (]) 16:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC) |

What are the plans for this template, {{tl|No-render}}? It is currently broken, I am wondering if it is worth it to fix it. Thanks! ] ] 05:44, 10 October 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
:It's purposely "broken". The point of it is that an editor can put something inside it (e.g. <nowiki>{{no-render|this is my text}}</nowiki>). That text will be visible to an editor but invisible to a reader. It differs from HTML comment tags in that text "hidden" from a reader inside a comment tag is downloaded and viewable on the page source. Text hidden from a reader using the no-render template is not rendered when Mediawiki parses the wikicode. Hence it is not downloaded or viewable via the page source. |
|
|
|
|
|
:One use of it is to leave large (or many) comments for editors in the wikicode of page without affecting download times for readers. --RA (]) 19:23, 10 October 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
:: By broken, I meant that it is transcluding the template {{tld|2}}, due to the fact that there is a typo in the use of the second argument. In other words, why are you using <nowiki>{{{2|}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{{2|}}}</nowiki>? I still don't really see the point, but I particularly don't know why you need to transclude a deleted template. Thanks! ] ] 19:20, 10 October 2010 (UTC) |

|
|
|
|
:::Doh! Typo. Now fixed. Thanks. --RA (]) 19:23, 10 October 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
:::: I added examples in the documentation, and when I type "view source" for this page, they both produce the same result, which is absolutely nothing. So, it looks like the second parameter doesn't really do anything, at least for my browser. ] ] 19:29, 10 October 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
:::::LOL! I just noticed that (I hadn't tested it). I just did ] and it looks like Mediawiki strips out HTML comments before rendering the page anyway. (The sandbox page contains the text <nowiki><!-- this is a test --></nowiki>, but that text is not seen if you go into the source.) |
|
|
