replies: text: Done. It's at 324 now which indicates two things; (1) the population has increased by  a whopping 50% in four years and (2) that two-thirds of all Oylgatians are in the school! Sarah777 (talk) 11:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The article states "The village's patron saint is Saint David". Is this saint definitely the Welsh one, as in the linked article, or one of several possible others - see Saint David (disambiguation) for a partial list? --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 18:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

message: * Oppose From Wikipedia:Article titles#Common names, "The most common name for a subject, as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources, is often used as a title because it is recognizable and natural." The picture of the plaque on the school shows "Oylegate", and the caption states that this is the generally accepted local spelling. I find that, where a village in Ireland can possibly be spelt in other ways, it usually is, so a variant like "Oilgate" is not surprising in some sources. A Google search on Oylegate brings up a lot of results, and even Google Maps has "Oylegate"—A bit iffy (talk) 06:56, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

text: *That's a good point. The proposed form should be amended to Oilgate, County Wexford, per :Category:Towns_and_villages_in_County_Wexford. On the County Wexford site, there are 234 examples for , 460 for . Kauffner (talk) 15:54, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Kauffner, what might be unreliable about that source compared to the Irish Times? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Didn't you ask for examples of usage by residents? Usage on the Irish Times site is 51 to 37. They obviously don't know how it's spelled. Kauffner (talk) 10:10, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. And now I'm asking what might be unreliable about that source compared to the Irish Times. We've had this kind of source come up before in RMs and there should be a note somewhere, on WP:IRS perhaps, about the problems when relying on government application forms. Even if I was a Gaeilge speaker, if I was making a planning application I would use Dublin's name for the village. Hence that isn't a reliable source. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:37, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
