Talk:S-Plan

message: I re-wrote the piece to include more details and context. the detail isnt exhaustive, I might add more but it means going through every newspaper for 1939 as only Stephans book details some of the attacks as i have here.
Check the comments I put in for the wikipedia entry "Operation Artur"- I believe Operation Artur doesn't exist which is why I removed it from this entry. If you know better cite a source.
Most of the details on the attacks comes from Stephan, but he misses some, and gets the event dates mixed up with the publication date of the papers on others. the detail on arrests comes from The Times- I didnt include all arrests reported, mostly for first half of 1939 and only those with large or significant arms seizures to give an idea of how fast the IRA teams were rounded up/what weapons they were using.
I think this entry should be renamed to S-Plan. S-Plan is what it is mostly concerned with now. the people making the attacks referred to it as S-Plan. The british referred to it as the bomb outrages.  Where the sabotage campaign monkier came from I dont know- I think it is misleading and doesnt make sense in terms of historical facts of the period. can someone explain where it came from?

thread_title:  Rewritten 

message: :You inserted inaccurate information overwriting an accurate contribution I made. The rearranging you did now makes the article factually incorrect. 
:The IRA army council did not issue a statement via the Wolfe Tone Weekly- Sean Russell did.  Cite a source for that change because I can cite one saying the statement was signed by him, not the Army Council and not on behalf of the Army Council.
:You also stripped out the entire context of what happened and link to Irish Republic claiming the people mentioned, all die hard anti-treaty, would recognise it.  This was in December 1938, if they didn't recognise what was in effect a 26 county Republic in 1938. What makes you think they would recognise it in 2006?
:And guess what? They transferred their authority, not "their powers" as you claim.  Cite a source.  And before you ask; No, "powers" in the context of Government doesn't equal "authority". 
:My contribution explains their motivation, and actions all in 1 sentence.  Instead, as you blundered through, you replace it with longwinded TRIPE which is inaccurate, distorting, and near unreadable. 
:I'll change it back again tomorrow. PhD in History *LOL* ((unsigned: 03:20, 1 May 2006 User:Fluffy999) 
Russell did not issue the statement. The statement was issued by the members of the Second Dáil who believed they were the legitimate authority of the Irish Republic (NOT the Republic of Ireland). Read the statement issued by the seven TDs of the rump Dáil and note the terminology and language they used. Also take note that the Wolfe Tone Weekly was publshed by Brian O'Higgins (one of the seven TDs) and therefore a mouthpiece for the republican legitimatists of the Second Dáil and not Russell. 
In effort to shorten the piece and to avoid duplication, I removed the names of the seven signatories, as these now appear (with the 1938 statement) and the end of the article on the Second Dáil. The names are not that relevant to the article in question as none of the seven were members of the IRA in 1938 nor where they involved in the planning or execution of the S-Plan.--Damac 09:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Bye

message: I'm not very familiar with the subject matter of this article. Nevertheless, it seems to me that the first sentence in "Immediate context" should read "Following a power struggle within the IRA during the mid 1930s, Seán Russell was reinstated to the IRA in April...", rather than "Following a power struggle within the IRA during the mid 1930s, Seán Russell reinstated to the IRA in April...".  The sentence doesn't seem to make sense otherwise.  I will so edit, next visit, if there are no objections or corrections.  Shirt58 11:24, 01 October 2006 (UTC)

message: There seems to be only one Emergency Powers Act 1939 and that was enacted in September 1939 in Ireland. How could there be one passed in January 1940?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.35.227.75 (talk) 17:07, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

message: This needs a proper reference if anyone has access to a newspaper archive? (I cant cite 'my dad', or the few internet blogs that mention this.  My dad's recollection is that there were no casualties.  He was close to the explosion.  Feel free to delete if this cant be properly sourced.) Gilgamesh4 (talk) 10:58, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
