message: There is a big box stating that "the neutrality of this article is disputed" 
What part of the article is in dispute? - nothing here seems controversial!
Could the box provider PLEASE indicate where he/she thinks this bias is? (Sarah777 23:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Biased Article??

message: I know your not supposed to use original research but whoever wrote this article obviously lives here or knows the area well so someone should remove that box about sources Wardhog 19:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Umm, sorry, but personal experience is not something we can verify.  Any article needs verifiable sources, otherwise any unreferenced information can be deleted at first doubt of its accuracy.  I have thus reinstated the tag.

thread_title: Sources

message: The banner seems a bit harsh without the objectors indicating in the body of the article which bits they think need references. That makes it easier to address the objections and concerns.  after the sentences in question would do nicely. (Sarah777 01:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The banner was placed by the same user that tagged it neutrality disputed without any further comments. Since nobody has responded to Sarah777s question from february this year about the POV-tag I removed it a few days ago. IMO the unsourced tag could also be removed unless someone can identify which parts of the article require citations. There is also a fairly extensive External links section, which past editors may have regarded as sources. Finnrind 10:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Checked out the editor who added the "facts" tag, he seems to be a heavy-duty chap; I'll try and mark the bits that it's likely he reckons need citations and we'll take it from there. (Sarah777 21:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Banner, why have you deleted all reference to the 2019-2020 protest in Achill? Konli17 (talk) 21:12, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Overblown. WP:UNDUE. Beside that, you placed the same info on multiple locations. The Banner talk 21:14, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Multiple is a strange way to describe two. What do you mean by overblown? I don't reckon it's undue, Achill was making national headlines over a protracted period. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but that doesn't seem to happen very often. Konli17 (talk) 21:54, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It disappeared out of the news quite quickly. At least in my area (midwest). So I can not call it protracted. The Banner talk 22:04, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It went on for months. You didn't answer my question. Konli17 (talk) 22:15, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It petered out quite quickly. First mention on RTE was 24 October 2019. The last mention was indeed on 16 January 2020 when the protest was ended. But serious news mention effectively ended in early November, with this mention and this mention: Archbishop warns against those trading in 'hatred and fear'. The Banner talk 00:31, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: You still haven't answered my question. The January report wasn't made after the protest was ended; it predicts the protest would end during the election campaign. Konli17 (talk) 00:52, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you do not want to hear that it petered out after a mere two week. Sorry. The Banner talk 09:50, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand. Konli17 (talk) 13:23, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Also, the shorter protest in Oughterard around the same time is covered in that article. Konli17 (talk) 21:20, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
