Talk:Gombeen man

message: "The Famine's gombeen men were universally Irish Catholics". 
There really needs some defence or citation in favour of this strange claim. One certain meaning of "Gombeen" has connotations of "Traitor" or "Turncoat", but this needs to be specified in the article; in which case BY DEFINITION the Gombeen will be both Irish and Catholic, given that those being exploited, abused and killed were also Irish and Catholic. But, as it stands, the article implies that those who extorted money from victims of Britain's calculated famine in Ireland were all Irish Catholics, which is clearly false. Food and basic necessities were traded, not only for debt with crippling interest but, for conversion to the protestant religion that itself presided over the famine; for instance in Mayo and its islands, and in Galway and Clare. So either complete the definition of "Gombeen man" by referring to the traitorous nature of the Gombeen (in which case the protestant oppressors did not count as Gombeens because they are considered as foreign, colonial oppressors rather than traitors), or remove the reference to Gombeen men being only Irish Catholics (because, if you don't want to include "being a traitor against the Irish people" in the definition of "Gombeen man", then protestants who similarly victimized the Irish Catholic population during the Famine should be included under the term "Gombeen Men". If traitorousness IS left out of the definition, then “universally” needs to go from the quoted passage, and even “primarily” would be indefensible in an encyclopaedia article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.76.128.10 (talk) 06:03, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Modern literature in Irish

message: May it be pointed out that I these days use Ulster Irish only occasionally, and that my first published book in Irish, Sciorrfhocail, is basically Standard Irish albeit Ulster Irish is used in the novel as a way to indicate East Finnish dialect through the medium of Irish. I did experiment a lot with Ulster Irish in my Internet writings in 1996-2006, but nowadays I just focus on studying all native writers and folklore texts as a way to enrich my Irish, irrespective of their dialectal origins. This should indeed be clear to anyone who bothered to read my book. Yours, Panu Höglund. 80.222.98.123 (talk) 05:14, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

message: My involvement with SN has been in connection with the HondaS2000 article, where his conduct has been helpful and cooperative. Personally, I consider the table he has created to constitute original research. Also I think we probably only require a sentence explaining the over steer problem, followed by another sentence explaining the less than perfect fix that Honda implemented. However, I am concerned at the intensity of criticism about his conduct, which is largely concerned with adding relevant information with appropriate secondary references to this article. In my view his adding relevant sourced information should not be punished. In fact, this conduct should mitigate any punishment for past incivility. Addhoc 13:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:California Redemption Value

message: I know little about CRV, so I came here to learn. Allow me to suggest the following additions:
What is the difference b/w the refund value and the redemption value?
Why are the redemption centers filthy? Why do they routinely open late and close early? Why do they have "caps" on the number of "customers" they service daily?
How much revenue does the state collect annually in unclaimed refunds? How much in the tax portion of CRV?
Does the beverage container need to say "CA CRV" in order to receive a refund? Comparison to other states' or other countries' deposit programs would be helpful. I am most familiar with Germany's; in comparison, California's is a mess.

 Notable people with Macdonald surname
 Born after 1800
Captain Murdo Stewart MacDonald (1852–1938) the last Sea Baron and Lloyds Surveyor of Shipping
 Born after 1950
Amy MacDonald (writer) (born 1951), American writer and journalist
Doesn't say they were "born Xxxx Macdobnald" anywhere.
Similarly, I saw some  under the 
 Notable people with MacDonald surname
 Born after 1800
John Alexander Macdonald (1815–1891), first Prime minister of Canada, usually referred to as John A. Macdonald.
 Born after 1900
John Macdonald (rower) (1908–1982), New Zealand rower
 and
Ross Macdonald (1915–1983), pseudonym of the American-Canadian writer Kenneth Millar
I don't know the history to know whether these names are in the proper category but miscapitalized or if they were born one name and recapitalized it later.  I am therefore not qualified to change anything in the article, and can only point up the apparent miscategorization.

There seems to be no mention of the original Act being repealed.
The section of the route from Snowdon Mill (SH571389) as far as the Gorsedda Crossing of the Cambrian Railways (SH566393) and now marked as a public footpath, still seems to be a statutory railway and is apparently accepted by the local authority as such. This may extend as far as the A487/498 (SH559342), but at one stage much of this section was a canal towpath!
:This has no connection with the Company, per se, as it was wound up many years ago. You may find there is an Abandonment order, which releases the trackbed.  
The comment comes possibly from a recent article on Statutory Repeals, which included a number of railways.  The repeals were being done as part of a Judicial review.   This is part of an ongoing process, and has anyone checked if this has been repealed before now or not.  This recent repeal mentions a number of old railways, but there are many more.  --Keith 21:37, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
