He Anton, was wondering if you could anything to the [[Easter Rising]] article? I was going to write something about De Valera but I'm afraid it will be horribly biased against him if I do. Turns out that I'm a committed Collins-ite! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 05:21, 10 August 2007 (CDT)

Ireland

Beir Bua agus Beannacht, Anton! Pop in for a wee dram if you ever find yourself near Sauchiehall Street! W. Frank 19:57, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

PS: I believe that `The term Republic of Ireland is "the description of the State"' is no longer accurate due to recent constitutional amendments... W. Frank 20:09, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

May 22 still

Apologies. I have become over-sensitive to criticism (most especially guised as "trivial questions") and by the time I went back to erase my inappropriate reply to your perfectly reasonable and nice question, you had already seen it, and answered. I'm a bit red-faced, I assure you. Let me give it another try: Generally, edit summaries are only filled out as an indication for why a change has been made. Although that's imnportant when working on the wiki, in the approvals notice board today I kept making dumb mistakes in formatting and spacing and the like, and so never put anything in the summary. I'm a little off my game today (can't you tell?:-) - I never noticed that font business. Probably it's there because that's the title of the section- May 22, and the other stuff just makes it look red to make the section stand out. Like here- if I don't put anything in edit summary when I save the page it will probably come out "May 22 still". I think Citzendium is great, too- and unfortunately, I've become a great big crank. Need a break, and sorry to take it out on you. Nancy Sculerati 12:21, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

Dublin

No problem :) While doing some work for CZ:Statistics I see some pages that need a minor cleanup. BTW, much more complicated cases exist ;-) --Aleksander Stos 06:45, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Alcohol

Thanks, I didn't know about the suggestion place at that time :-). I can't legally drink either. Yi Zhe Wu 15:49, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Hi

Thanks! Enjoyed the Ireland article by the way. Former Trinnerhead I see? Nice stuff. Denis Cavanagh 09:05, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Your drinks are served

Hi Anton, I thought your suggestion seemed a fair challenge. Beer is served. Cheers! --Ian Johnson 12:22, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

You're most welcome. And of course, we all know A is for ABBA. Top of the evening to you! --Ian Johnson 14:21, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

August 29

Have a look at your user page, the date of becoming constable  ;-) Aleksander Stos 11:40, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

Oops! No time-travelling for me... Anton Sweeney 11:59, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

Irish related articles

Oh, very good. To be honest I put no work towards Kingdom of Oriel and liked the wikipedia version, so I left it as it was. If I come across anything relevant such as that I will add it to the 'see also' section. :) Denis Cavanagh 09:33, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

Oh, thanks! I'll move towards it soon, sometime before the end of the week anyway. I'm looky enough to have had a grandfather obsessed with this kind of stuff and so have a lot of obscure sources locking in our attic somewhere. It'll be kinda fun to add on to it!

Four Courts Image

It seems kind of dark on my LCD so I'm going to see what I can do to enhance it, if you don't mind. --Robert W King 11:39, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

Let me know what you think. I think I got the licensing correct.--Robert W King 12:01, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

The new version looks much better - replaced the image on Dublin with the new one. Thanks again. Anton Sweeney 05:47, 10 August 2007 (CDT)



Easter Rising

He Anton, was wondering if you could anything to the Easter Rising article? I was going to write something about De Valera but I'm afraid it will be horribly biased against him if I do. Turns out that I'm a committed Collins-ite! Denis Cavanagh 05:21, 10 August 2007 (CDT)

I can certainly have a look at it over the weekend, though I'd be in the same camp as yourself :P Ideally, I think, we'd have a short paragraph on all the main leaders (with full articles to follow). Just one thing - you might want to cast your eye over CZ:Article Mechanics, which is the Citizendium style guide. Good work, though, its a nicely balanced article.
