replies: text: Following the discussion here consensus is to change this article to remove some mentions of the "Leader of Sinn Féin in the Northern Ireland Assembly" position. Some issues relating to this article are still outstanding, I will begin a discussion relating to those later. FDW777 (talk) 09:09, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

message: Since she represents the party that got the most votes in the NI election, wouldn't it be correct to call her FM elect? Difbobatl (talk) 03:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: No, before anyone is elected to that office one isn't a "First Minister Elect". Str1977 (talk) 22:41, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Shouldn't she now be listed as First Minister Elect?

message: An IP editor has removed the "Monarch : Elizabeth II" field from the infobox which has saved me a job. This specific field relating to the deputy First Minister position was discussed at Talk:Martin_McGuinness/Archive 2#Monarch/ appointed by where the rough consensus was "for exclusion of the monarch, largely because the monarch does not appoint the Northern Irish PM and deputy PM". Anyone wishing to include this field is welcome to make a case for it, but at present the rough consensus should prevail.
While references, and even Sinn Féin themselves at times, are inconsistent with whether Michelle O'Neill is the party's vice president or deputy leader, this page seems the most authoritative on the current leadership of Sinn Féin and the titles involved. As such, I have restored the wording that existed prior to yesterday. I will also add the references cited use "vice president", for the sake of thoroughness.
Lastly, it is claimed Talk:Martin McGuinness/Archive 2#"deputy" vs "Deputy" has consensus for the infobox to read "Deputy". I cannot see where this consensus is, but I will refrain from changing the article for now. I see multiple editors pointing out that "Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland" is not in itself a sentence, and the closer only states that a sentence shouldn't begin with a small letter, which nobody appeared to be arguing for anyway. There are numerous examples backing up "deputy", such as Kijiji, iPhone and numerous other i-prefixed Apple products. FDW777 (talk) 23:01, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

text: I've removed the British monarch from the infoboxes of the rest of the deputy First Ministers & First Ministers of Northern Ireland. GoodDay (talk) 16:24, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. I had not noticed the field being added to those. FDW777 (talk) 21:36, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

text: She's Vice President. See the references already cited in the article, and this. Any article using "deputy leader" should be amended. FDW777 (talk) 08:29, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Then that would mean that the Leaders of Sinn Fein, would need to be changed to Presidents of Sinn Fein. GoodDay (talk) 14:21, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: What are you talking about? Why should I "See the other dFM bios & the FM bios. They don't use 'Vice President' or 'President'"? Vice President of Sinn Féin is an internal Sinn Féin position, independent of dFM and FM. FDW777 (talk) 14:30, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Pardon me, I meant the bios of the other leaders & deputy leaders of Sinn Fein. Example: Mary Lou McDonald. -- GoodDay (talk) 14:33, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: "President: Mary Lou McDonald" and "Vice President: Michelle O'Neill". Please change this, and other articles you have changed, back to the correct terms of "Vice President" and "President". And as I stated at 08:29, "Any article using "deputy leader" should be amended". The key word being "amended", not used as a reason to introduce incorrect terminology in other articles.

replies: text: I'll change them all to President of Sinn Fein & Vice President of Sinn Fein. GoodDay (talk) 14:53, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

message: Michelle O’Neill is the elected First Minister of Northern Ireland after the 9th May 2022 elections. Previously DUP (Democratic unionist party) had power over Northern Ireland however this year Sinn Fein has surpassed DUP and as a result Michelle O’Neill is now First minister of Northern Ireland whilst no Deputy first minister has been determined as of yet. 2A00:23C8:6F89:A801:348A:6348:4284:852E (talk) 09:33, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Please provide a reliable source that supports your change. Note that the source should clearly state that she is the First Minister. --RegentsPark (comment) 13:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

message: If an election is called, as the NI Secretary has hinted he might do, is Michelle O'Neill still to be considered First Minister Designate during the election period? And, even if there's no election and no Executive is formed, is she to be considered First Minister Designate for the duration of the Assembly? Some WP:RS, such as the Belfast Telegraph piece cited in the First Minister designate section, explicitly give her that title, but things are dragging on a bit at this point, and I question whether the title "First Minister-designate of Northern Ireland" should appear in such a prominent place as the infobox. schetm (talk) 16:00, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: At this point, it doesn't look like anybody is about to become First Minister of Northern Ireland, anytime soon. GoodDay (talk) 23:43, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

message: The infobox says she has 2 children. I count 3 reading the section Personal life (1 as 16 years old and 2 with Paddy O'Neill). Shouldn't the infobox say 3? Dipsacus fullonum (talk) 09:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: It is unclear which children Paddy O'Neill is the father of, he may well be the father of the child O'Neill had aged 16. According to the Irish Times, she has two children. Kathleen's bike (talk) 00:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
