== Ireland ==
Beir Bua agus Beannacht, Anton! Pop in for a wee dram if you ever find yourself near Sauchiehall Street! [[User:W. Frank|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... [[User:W. Frank|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. [[User:Nancy Sculerati|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 ;-) --[[User:Aleksander Stos|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. [[User:Yi Zhe Wu|Yi Zhe Wu]] 15:49, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
==Hi==
Thanks! Enjoyed the Ireland article by the way. Former Trinnerhead I see? Nice stuff. [[User:Denis Cavanagh|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! --[[User:Ian Johnson|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! --[[User:Ian Johnson|Ian Johnson]] 14:21, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
== August 29 ==
Have a look at your user page, the date of becoming constable  ;-) [[User:Aleksander Stos|Aleksander Stos]] 11:40, 2 August 2007 (CDT)
:Oops!  No time-travelling for me... [[User:Anton Sweeney|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. :) [[User:Denis Cavanagh|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! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 09:56, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
== 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. --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 11:39, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
[[Image:Four_Courts.jpg|thumb|left|100px]][[Image:Four_Courts_colorfixed.jpg|left|thumb|100px]]
Let me know what you think.  I think I got the licensing correct.--[[User:Robert W King|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. [[User:Anton Sweeney|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! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|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.  [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 05:52, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. I think seven of them have their own little article - I'm hoping to do a Pearse main article at some stage. [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 05:55, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
==Workgroups==
I adfd a few comments here,[[User talk:Anton Sweeney/Sandbox/Workgroups]]. Not much but a start. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] [[User talk:Chris Day|(talk)]] 09:51, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
==fada==
How do you do those fada's on Eamon? [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 11:25, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
:On Windows XP, hold the 'Alt Gr' key (the one to the immediate right of the spacebar) down while typing the vowel you want the fada to appear over.  Capitals with a fada are a pain: Shift + AltGr + vowel :P [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 11:36, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
Thanks. This will make me feel like an Pátriot (definately not an irish word :P)
== Valera picture ==
Regarding to the [[Eamon de Valera]] picture, I just discovered that the label on the library picture was "E. de Valera" instead of "Eamon de Valera", if you have any knowledge on Ireland, can you verify whether it is the photo of the Irish president or another E. de Velera? Thanks! [[User:Yi Zhe Wu|Yi Zhe Wu]] 14:21, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
