WikiProject Ireland has a collaboration article for every week/month something like that. It seems like a good idea to me! If anyone else is interested, I'd like to start a similar collaborative effort for this WikiProject. I've nominated Michael Collins for collaboration on our Project Page, whatever that may mean.

message: I've been trying to get some input over at Template talk:IRAs, as to whether the template should be inclusive of groups such as the new ONH and the INLA, who, like CIRA and RIRA (already listed on the template), are "splinter" groups descended from other IRA organizations, and are armed Irish republican groups with quite similar goals, if they do disagree on the means to the end.

If Erin go Bragh wants a web page on this subject, it doesn't necessarily belong on wikipedia; hope to be proved wrong there anyways. Many of these groups in 2007 are tiny and family-based and unpopular. Would you list all the militia groups in the USA or yardie groups in Jamaica on wikipedia?86.42.202.31 19:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Added 2 articles I wrote on the Northern Campaign 1942-45 & IRA Nazi links 1938-44 .  There are also around 15+? articles detailing Abwehr spy missions to Ireland that had involvement with anti-treaty IRA or figures to a greater or lesser extent. There are also a few articles on the activities of notable IRA figures in Nazi Germany or those with linkage to IRA. Again, written from scratch just like the 2 articles already appearing in the list- on the Green Book & the S-Plan. Nobody claiming expertise on the organisation or period (1 self announced expert from Galway) had done any work on them but thats self appointed experts for you :) Might join the group to complete some more articles on IRA Nazi links, and activity of Nazi spy in Ireland.

text: Fergal was working with Seán South, who's relatively famous in Irish Rebel music (The Wolfe Tones wrote a song about him, called "Sean South of Garryowen). There's a standing marble monument to the both of them. So I guess that could make him notable by association? As for McCaughey, Vintagekits listed a number of things at the AfD that make him seem notable enough to me. Erin Go Braghtalk 08:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, looking at the Sean South article, it seems that Dominic Behan wrote a song, The Patriot Game, about Fergal as well. So that's a song about him, another about his leader, and a monument to the both of them. Erin Go Braghtalk 08:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Perhaps a solution would be to create a "Notable members..." page, linking to those who merit substantial articles of their own, or having brief details for those who don't?

message: Rather than have the current problem of unsourced stubs being sent to Afd by the usual suspects shortly after creation, would we be better off creating them here in a sandbox?  Then when the articles are sourced and referenced move them to mainspace.  Any attempt to send a sourced article which meets notability guidelines to Afd would then be instantly recognised as a bad faith nomination, instead of us having to fight to improve the article while Afd is ongoing.  I'd generally expect an article to be in the sandbox for around a couple of days maximum, as I'm not talking about getting the articles up to featured article standard or anything.  Thoughts?

I would be more than willing to lend a hand if that is ok. The period of history I am most familiar with is from the Act of Union to founding of the Fenian’s by the remnants of the Young Irelanders.

thread_title:  Politics of Northern Ireland WikiProject 

message: I was looking at the article Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, and would like to stimulate a general discussion regarding nationality, not specifically about this article. 
The nationality is listed as   Irish. My understanding would be that a significant proportion of individuals that call themselves republican, would consider each of the two Irish states as illigitimate as each other, and therefore not consider either to provide nationality. I was wondering how should one go about determining nationality, and making the choice between Irish, Irish, Irish, or even Irish. Fasach Nua 14:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We attribute one's nationality to the state, recognized by the rest of the world, of one's birth or citizenship. I presume he holds a passport from the Republic of Ireland and hence is Irish (for our purposes), whether he claims to recognize the state or not (and, something I've always wondered is, if he doesn't recognize it, why would he travel under its sovereignty?) I note that his place of birth is listed as Ireland (the island, rather than the state), though, which I imagine is some nod to his beliefs. This appears to be counter to what is preferred at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles). Rockpocket 01:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Presumtion is unworthy of an encyclopedia! However your passport point is taken as a rule of thumb. What would be the situation if someone held no travel documents, as I would imagine would not have been uncommon in the early 20th Century? Fasach Nua 20:35, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  My point is, with a lack of verifiable information stating that he revoked citizenship of the country of his birth, or actively gained that of another state, we presume that is his nationality. We generally don't require evidence of any documentation proving nationality unless it deviates from a verified place of birth. However, technically speaking he wasn't born in the ROI, but the Irish Free State (perhaps we should list that under birth country). But since the ROI followed the Free State without any geographical changes, its safe to assume that the citizens of one country became the citizens of that which followed it. Rockpocket 20:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What you are talking about is eligibility, which can come from place of birth, parents, or other more proactive means. I would imagine (unencyclopedic) until recently almost everyone in the RoI had one grandparent who was a British citizen (born pre 1922), and the individual had the choice to take either British/Irish, or both. How would one quantify this choice? Fasach Nua 21:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Again, as far as I am aware, we typically assign the nationality of any individual to their state of birth, unless there is evidence that they elected to become a national of another state (of which they are eligible). In the case of Republicans this isn't even a major concern, because they state they would presumably choose (a united Ireland) doesn't actually exist in any legal sense, and therefore they couldn't become a legal citizen of that (hypothetical) state. Rockpocket 21:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: When it comes to "Nationality" it's generally never been included on any article I've seen (obviously there's the odd exception like above). Place of birth is all that's required, as it doesn't involve any controversy. Now can I direct you both to a semi-related discussion here? One Night In Hackney303 21:59, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't know about that. In many article we say "X is a Irish runner...", this surely indicates nationality? Rockpocket 01:37, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but do you really think it's appropriate to say "X is a British member" about Irish republicans? It's asking for trouble, when all that's needed is a place of birth. One Night In Hackney303 01:45, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Just to be clear, my earlier comment was related to articles about Irish republicans only, not Irish biographical articles in general. One Night In Hackney303 01:52, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Do you mean in circumstances where Irish Republicans were born in Ireland while it was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland?  In that case, if a nationality was required for whatever reason, then I would probably use "X is an Irish member..." or simply "X is an Irish member..." If you mean in circumstances where Irish Republicans were born in Northern Ireland, then I would probably use "X is an Northern Irish member..." My understanding of the original question, however, was the concern that Irish Republicans born in the ROI after 1937 do not even recognize the ROI as a state, and hence we should not refer to them as Irish. I don't agree with that. Rockpocket 03:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

text: That's why we don't tend to use it. Describing an Irish republican (from Northern Ireland) as British is contentious, and without verifiable information that they hold Irish nationality we don't tend to call them Irish. So it's safer all round just to say, for example, "born in Belfast, Northern Ireland". Nothing contentious, no POV, no labels the subject would object to, no verifiability problems.

message: There seems to have been some minor change to the code that has wreaked havoc with some WP:IR article talk pages, because  began to transclude the project page (i.e., WP:IR) instead of the template of the same name.  User:Gimmetrow did a fix by renaming the template  and that has solved the problem - but this new template name will have to be added to all the article talk pages, I suspect.  See this edit as an example that seemed to work - I simply removed the colon from the template name.  Someone with WP:AWB could probably make the necessary edits pretty quickly.

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.

thread_title:  Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Irish Republicanism 

message: What's gone on here is all too common among the areas fraught with ethnic strife on wiki. Two or more sides who have been feuding in real life for decades, centuries, or even thousands of years bring their world view to wiki and wiki becomes an extension of their real world problems. Someone makes a change. A person from the other side sees it as "misinformation" and we all know the rest of the story. Any admin trying to solve these ongoing wiki strifes should be commended for bravery as most admins won't go near these topics. Yet what happens all too often? They get attacked by both sides because these cases are prime examples of the fact that you can't make everyone happy. I've spent quite a bit of time looking at this thread and am proposing a modification of Tznkai's proposal as I don't see admin consensus for support of it, though I can see why he made the proposals he made. If remedies don't have the support of the admin community, they are largely ineffective. Ideally, peaceful cooperation would fall upon all of wiki and the energy spent on matters like arbitration would get spent on article building, but we're not there yet. 
* blocked for 72 hours for gross incivility and disruptive editing. NOTE: already served
* placed under indefinite probation under discretionary sanctions prescribed in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles, because of disruptive edit warring and inability to compromise and cooperate instead of edit warring.

*Blocks may be up to 1 week for first offense, 1 month after the first 1 week block, and then ban options may be considered.

message: Hi folks, I'd really appreciate it if any of you could spare the time to take a look over Operation Flavius and offer some comments at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Operation Flavius. I've recently re-vamped the article and I'm hoping to take it to FAC. I think it's a neutral summary of the available material, but it's a controversial subject, so I'd welcome any good-faith suggestions for improvements. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?  20:51, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I hope you're not expecting a rush. If you look above you might notice that there was a total of three posts to this page in 2012, and one in 2013, none of which was answered. I'll have a quick look myself, but I don't imagine I'll have time for a detailed critique. You might be better to ask at WikiProject Ireland (though it's not at its most lively at the moment, either).  --Scolaire (talk) 09:11, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comment on the WikiProject X proposal 

message: Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

message: Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?
