Talk:Chronology of Provisional Irish Republican Army actions (1970–1979)

message: Hello, I've actually some experience listing the IRA actions and context for the Sabotage/S-plan campaign and Northern Campaign.  I was actually told off by a user called Damac for doing this, although I didnt worry about that.  The reason his views dont matter is because wikipedia is now the only place online or in print that has the "actions" of those campaigns listed chronologically and as fully as records of events allow.  I plan to do the same for the Border Campaign, as like the previous two it isnt listed in its entirety anywhere either.
However, this listing for the PIRA, (unlike the three for the IRA), doesnt appear to have much point.  That isnt to criticise the effort people have put into it, but unless im missing something it just seems to be a cut & paste job from CAIN?  So im wondering what the point is in browsing half a list here instead of just visiting CAIN and browse the entire, original list with all the surrounding historical context there?

text: I've tried adding stuff that isn't contained in CAIN to the article and will continue to do so. A complete Chronology of actions would indeed be a very valuable resource.--86.44.43.147 (talk) 15:11, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Nice work but

message: *Colonel Gaddafi announced that he had supplied arms to "revolutionaries" in Ireland.
*The IRA also threatens to kidnap or kill Irish cabinet ministers and the President of Ireland.
Neither of these had any dates and just seemed to appear randomly in the order of events.  I'll do some research and try and find where they go. One Night In Hackney 13:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Items temporarily removed

message: The title is Chronology of Provisional IRA Actions. However some of the entries appear to be actions against PIRA. Should the article be renamed and expanded to be Chronology of Actions Involving the Provisional IRA? Or should the article name remain the same, and items removed which are actions against, not by, PIRA? --81.132.246.132 17:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What should go in this article?

message: Why were my contributions to sub section 1984 removed? All had valid references to CAIN. --86.170.158.98 18:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Valid contibution removed

message: I am yet tofind an artilcle on wikipeida on thissubject which doesn't have a republican bais. The use of weasle words is rampant. Please someone fix it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.238.60 (talk) 17:56, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: I noticed that there is a link in the footnotes that leads nowhere. It's the reference for the events of Nov. 25, 1993, in footnoite #472. The link uses the template "wikiref" which connects to nothing. (Also I notice that there are a lot of footnotes which could be combined, but there is a bot that may come by someday and fix these ... ) ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 02:49, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed both of these problems. There are still a few repeated references, and many of the references could use a better format, so I can't quite remove the cleanup template. Hopefully one of you won't mind fixing these last ones. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 00:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Ok I sorted and combined all the tags where possible so I will remove the cleanup tag. --Baldeadly (talk) 19:12, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Footnote cleanup 

message: Unless that are any concrete objections this article should be split into 1970s, 1980s and so on. At present it's way over the recommended size for articles, and I can't even view individual diffs on my browser. This article will remain containing a summary for each decade containing the most notable incidents obviously. 2 lines of K303 13:27, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As of yesterday, this article is #10 in the longest Wikipedia articles and according to the Size rule should definitely be split, so go for it. Besides taking long toload, some browsers may not even display it properly. ww2censor (talk) 16:53, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I would do it myself but, as I've never tried splitting such a big article, I'd rather leave it to someone with more experience. ~Asarlaí 17:16, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The article fails to load properly, a single edit can take minutes. Split right now.--Darius (talk) 16:21, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Split performed on 9 December 2010.--Darius (talk) 16:43, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
