message: What is the threshold for including individuals in Wikipedia? This person doesn't seem particularly newsworthy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.97.124 (talk) 06:56, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Searches

message: I removed a sentence talking about some lawsuits and the fact that the subject has a Wikipedia page. The second point is a canonical example of redundancy and doesn't belong in an article. Discussion of lawsuits is a little bit more problematic. There were several sources. Three of which were behind a pay wall which is not prohibited but limits my ability to comment on them in detail. In general, we need to remember that a lawsuit, at its core is an allegation. There are times that a lawsuit, when settled, may be relevant to an article. This isn't necessarily sufficient, as the subject matter should be material, should relate to the subject in other than a trivial way and should be discussed at some level of detail, beyond mere mention, in reliable sources. A lawsuit that is not yet been settled requires a more significant hurdle. It may be relevant if substantially discussed in reliable sources. In my opinion, it looked to me like someone simply did a search identify the name in connection with some lawsuits, in some cases just barely connected, and through in a sentence with some references. I'm not suggesting that any mention is prohibited but I think it deserves more thoughtful editorial discussion than simply scraping a few references in slapping them into a sentence.--S Philbrick(Talk) 23:27, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Isn't it also the modern Irish word for king? Jdorney (talk) 11:06, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, and that's what it says! DinDraithou (talk) 14:07, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah so it does. Worded a little confusingly though imo. Wouldn't it make more sense though to say that "ri is the Irish word for king, derived from the Old Irish ri, cognate with the Scottish Gaelic righ", or something like that? Jdorney (talk) 16:55, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not responsible for the original wording right there. Yes, it should probably be reworded to say the Scottish rìgh comes from the genitive of the original. They are not really cognates but belong to different dialects of the same language which are still mutually intelligible to a degree. I'll try to get around to it and maybe find a source for when the Scots made the small change. DinDraithou (talk) 17:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Ancient word?

message: there are several 'equations' in the article: "A rí benn (king of peaks), or rí tuaithe (king of a single tribe)" and "A ri buiden (king of bands), also ri tuath (king of [many] tribes) or ruiri (overking)". could you please prove those equations with citations or arguments. thanks.
I would deem the following ranking resp. assignments more plausible (using the categories of elman service and others): band / lineage (ramage) [biological ancestor] - (big) family chief, rí benn "king of peaks" > clan [mythical ancestor] - big man, rí buiden: "king of bands" > small or basic tribe (consiting of mostly two [or more] clans [moieties]) - small chief,  rí tuaithe: "king of a single tribe" > big tribe (union or federation of small tribes) - chief(dom), big chief, duke/herzog, ri tuath: "king of [many] tribes" or ruiri : "lesser king" > nation / state - king (in the usual sense of the word)/könig, rí ruirech: "high-king". I'd like to know your opinion. HilmarHansWerner (talk) 20:09, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

message: I don't know how to create user boxes yet but I would really like some more on evolution. There seem to be about 15 witty ones on the demotion of Pluto, and just 2 or 3 drab ones on Darwin and evolution. As that theme is one of great contention at the present time, surely we could have something the science-minded of us could display without looking like wet blankets. For example, I would really like one that had "This user's parents both descended from apes, but that was a long time ago, and the scandal no longer blots the old escutcheon" 
Perhaps more users could request specific user boxes to be created by the more technically minded of us? Is that a viable idea? Myles325a (talk) 05:20, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Sheemore ambush

message: Joe Nangle, Captain of the Drumshanbo company of the 2nd Leitrim battalion, IRA.
Born 1896 at Cornaroy, Drumshanbo,  County Leitrim.
Died 28-1-1968 at Cornaroy.  Joe’s mother and father were both teachers at Cornaroy National School. 
At the formation of the Drumshanbo company of the 2nd Leitrim Battalion of the IRA in 1918, Joe Nangle was appointed captain and was active throughout the Tan war until July 1921.
Joe trained the Drumshanbo IRA volunteers in drill and the use of arms using hurleys as a substitute for rifles. Following the election victory of the Sinn Fein candidate Arthur Griffith in June 1918, there were celebrations in Drumshanbo and Joe was arrested and held in Sligo gaol. Joe campaigned with Fr. O’Flanagan in the North Roscommon by-election of February 1917. Count Plunkett was the Sinn Fein candidate elected on a platform of support for the 1916 Rising and opposition to conscription to the British Army fighting in the First World War.
Joe participated in the burning of the RIC barracks at Leitrim village in Easter 1920, which was part of an offensive by the IRA to close down RIC barracks and gain control of rural areas.
Joe was a member of the IRA raiding party who attempted to capture the courthouse in Carrick-on-Shannon which was the British military HQ in Leitrim. At the time of the attack, this stronghold was garrisoned by the East Yorkshire regiment.
During the Tan war,  Joe was a member of the flying column which took part in the Sheemore ambush of 4th March 1921 in which a number of casualties were inflicted on the Crown forces.  After the ambush,  Joe was sought by the British authorities.  During a large scale military round-up near Leitrim village, Joe had to hide near the Shannon at Battlebridge and was only able to cross the river to the Roscommon side after several days in hiding. 
In later life, Joe gave evidence in favour of the retention of the district hospital at Carrick-on-Shannon during a public enquiry held by the Minister of Health.
This account is taken from the obituary notes written for Joe’s funeral by his daughter Doreen Farrelly and from an interview by Jim McIntyre with Doreen and Harry Farrelly at Granard, Co. Longford in 1985. Jimmy mcintyre1 (talk) 22:10, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Spailpín

message: The article states that "a spailpín [...] was an itinerant or seasonal farmworker in Ireland from the 17th to the early 21st century with the title being personified by Shane O’Neil, a ballybrown man", and the Encyclopedia of Irish History and Culture (page 442, Volume 1, 2004) is cited as the source for this. However, the referred article of the Encyclopedia of Irish History and Culture doesn't mention either the 17th century nor the 21st century. It stretches further back in time ("Although there is some evidence that Irish farm laborers were already traveling to Britain in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, their numbers increased only with population pressures in Ireland during the second half of the eighteenth century"), but it only goes so far as to mention the early to mid 20th century. Also, there is absolutely no trace of any Shane O’Neil "personifying the title" in the cited source. Bati (talk) 13:04, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

message: *I tagged this for notability. It was removed with the statement that multiple RS's show the notability. Problem is, they aren't here. The first source, ABC News, never mentions Mills. It talks about the AB, but not him. Thus is doesn't establish his notability, nor does it support what the article says when it claims "including Mills". I removed it. The second source, the BBC, does mention Mills. In fact, it is just that, a mere mention. So claiming it is "significant coverage" is dubious. The third source, People v Price, never mentions Mills. I removed it. The Last source, a court case involving Mills, of course mentions him, but it is a primary source, so we still have a notability issue.
