Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:45, 12 May 2007

Can anyone help. I don't know how to categorise this subject. I know how to categorise a person, but not an historical incident.

I gave you a few, please check and ensure they are correct. --ArmadilloFromHell 23:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Article name

I would like to know who invented the title "Dunmanway Massacre". This phrase, on an examination of the facts, is not the case. Only three of the victims mentioned in the article were killed in Dunmanway - the remainder lived several miles away. - JohnM

What name do you suggest the article should be called?--Vintagekits 10:56, 15 April 2007 (UT

The article should be titled in a more accurate way i.e. Cork, West Cork. The present title plays into the hands of those who claim that there are so many inaccuracies in Misplaced Pages as to render it useless as a tool of reference.

There is nothing slanderous in this article, perhaps you could explain who you believe is being slandered?

I assume you are referring to this edit. The name in the lead has to reflect the name of the article, therefore it stays as "Dunmanway Massacre" unless the page name is changed as well. Your attempt to introduce an unsourced claim of 13 victims was correctly reverted, according to the article the victims were:

1. David Gray
2. Francis Fitzmaurice
3. James Buttimer
4. Robert Howe
5. John Chinnery
6. Alexander McKinley
7. Robert Harbord
8. John Buttimer
9. Jim Greenfield
10. John Bradfield

Robert Nagle is not named as being killed merely shot, so that equals 10 not the figure of 13 you attempted to introduce into the article. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 08:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Where are the Hornibrooks and Woods "Capt Woods, Thomas Hornibrook and his son Samuel went missing, unaccounted for, and in time presumed killed" If these killings took place in the same week (see article) why are they not included?

See this article from The New Statesmen, which gives the figure of ten and the name "Dunmanway massacre". Ten is the confirmed number, although we can include the information about the others it's only speculation, for all we know they could have (as the Wolfe Tones would put it) "like lightning ran from the rifles of the IRA".
