Template talk:1981 Hunger Strike

message: I've reverted. The left align didn't look at all good, neither did the bullet spacing or names being split over two lines. The centre align is more consistent with succession boxes and the like which appear on some articles the template appears on, and there's plenty of other centre aligned templates.

replies: text:  Padraig, this has all already been discussed on your page. Define the difference between minor & signifcant, and how this effects their roles played within the Hunger Strike? Conypiece 16:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is a good guide that you might want to start with. 1. Do they have an article of their own? 2. Where they invloved in the 81 HS, 3. DO you have concensus and argeement to add their names to the template?--Vintagekits 16:47, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  1. Some do, some don't. But there are names on the template that do not have wiki pages. 2. They were not, but neither was Harry West. Padraig is insisting that he be included on the template, then I am insisting on consistency 3. Does Padraig have consensus to add Harry Wests name? No, I am not the only editor that has said that. Methinks you should direct the above three questions to padraig. Conypiece 17:05, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

text: It was explained to you on Talk:Harry West. You have also breached 3RR on this, just as your did on Gerry Adams.--padraig 16:49, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Erm no it wasn't. Can you please explain it here? Oh yea, Vintagekits asked an excellent three questions above, would you mind answering them also? Conypiece 17:04, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Ack now padraig this is becoming laughable. Just answer the questions. You have not told me what the differnce between significant and minor are. You have not told me how the candidates acted differently. You have not told me whether are not you gained consensus to put Wests name back on the template. Seriously, are you going to answer these?

replies: text: Your question has been answered below, maybe you have nothing better to do, but I have, and see no reason to repeat the discussion below.--padraig 18:55, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have re-read all the discussion below, and I can tell you that none of the three questions have been answered. I would appreciate a reply to the questions asked. Conypiece 18:59, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Major political and religious figures during the strike

message: I"ve been looking at the list of people now included in the Major Figures list and it strikes me that it is still cluttered (with or without Harry West) with names with little or extremely tenuous links to the strike. ie, Garret Fitzgerald, James Prior, John Magee (bishop) and Cardinal Basil Hume.
*While Prior was involved in the strike for the last 30(ish!) days of the strike he only really inherited Humphrey Atkins stance/legacy as Atkins had been the main Brit. gov rep in the run up to the strike and during most of the strike itself.
*I don't see any real connection between Fitzgerald and Magee and the Strike other than they were around during it, despite Magee's supposed role in the 1980 H/S.
*Cardinal Hume made plenty of statements during the HS but I don't think he played a big enough role to justify inclusion.
For these reasons I'd support removal of them from the template. Your thoughts??GiollaUidir 18:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
