Talk:Pádraig Flynn

message: I have requested that this article be moved from Padraig Flynn to Pádraig Flynn because there is a diacritic (Sineadh fada) over the a in Pádraig, as it is an Irish name. Snappy56 (talk) 15:36, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Comment:Of course the name should be readable but how does going from Padraig to Pádraig make it unreadable? Snappy56 (talk) 23:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, I guess that's pretty obvious. Being anti-diacritics denotes being unable to see any advantage in having diacritics, which in turn denotes lack of knowledge about their functions or their benefits for an accurate reading. Which is why I, in turn, am pro-diacritics and anti-inaccuracy. But for people who won't know how to pronounce "Pádraig Flynn" correctly with or without the diacritic, it's no wonder the diacritic is seen as superfluous. But that is a problem of the reader, not a problem of Wikipedia, which is supposed to be an accurate encyclopedia. Húsönd 23:50, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm in the minority anyways (it's currently 2 to 1), my resistance will be futile. If/when the article is moved, I won't fight it. GoodDay (talk) 00:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Requested move

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Pádraig Flynn's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 11:52, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
