Talk:Clare Daly

message: There is no County Dublin council so how can she be in it? She is FROM Fingal County and a member of Fingal County Council which is why she is in Politics of Fingal County. Why would she be in both? Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:29, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've created Local councillors in Fingal County category and put her in there, so that's sorted. Btw, no-one is FROM Fingal County, well at least I've never heard any ever claim to be from it, and I know alot of people who live in it! It's not in common usage as a place that people say there from. It's Dublin, full stop. Snappy (talk) 22:39, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Local Councillors in County Dublin

message: Clare Daly Calls US President Barrack Obama a War Criminal in the Irish Parliament on June 21, 2013, Daly called the US President a War Criminal in parliament. This ought to be included in her article because it's of some significance in that it's at least fairly unique, I'm not good at fixing articles but I suggest this one be annotated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.194.169.115 (talk) 18:48, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Calling Obama a War Criminal

message: A large number of changes have been made recently an an IP, but seems mostly to be-moving text around and rephrasing. There is also the removal of some references; the removal of others with a different reference added in its place. I can't see how this improves the article.Also, it is claimed she is still an Aer Lingus worker but no reference is provided. I have added back the section on her Barack Obama attack, as an attempt at compromise. Snappy (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent changes 

message: I recently amended a sentence in the lead to reflect what I believed the sources said. The sentence initially said that "Since becoming an MEP, Daly has gained international attention for her foreign policy views ... which have been the subject of controversy and criticism". I couldn't find any mention in the sources provided of "attention" from African, Asian or South American countries. I therefore amended the sentence to "Since becoming an MEP, Daly has gained European attention for her foreign policy views ...". One of our editors referred me to the fourth source which, according to the editor, "talks specifically about Asian and Arabic sources covering Daly's views". By my count the fourth source is the ByLine Times. That source does say "Daly and Wallace are highly cited sources in Russian and Chinese media, where this repetition of propaganda is presented as independent opinion". As far as I can tell, there is no mention of a South American or African country responding to Clare's foreign policy views. Whether this is enough to use the phrase "international attention" is unclear. However, the source does not support the statement that Clare's views were criticised and considered controversial by the international community. In fact, it implies that the most populous country in the world and a second large country view her statements favourably. Afaict the sources provided support the statement that Clare's foreign policy views have received coverage in Europe and China. The "controversy and criticism" seems to be restricted to Europe.

replies: text: My apologies, I meant to say the third source rather than fourth - the Irish Times one, which highlights the coverage Daly's views have received in China, Russia and Iran. I understand it's behind a paywall, but a quote in it directly backs up the "international attention" thing -  As far as I'm aware from the sources provided, sufficient backing is provided that this coverage is international and that the views themselves have caused controversy. ser!

replies: text:  Yes that source does support the use of the phrase "international attention for her foreign policy views". We should not imply that the "controversy and criticism" is international. That Irish Times source mentions that Clare's views have been welcomed in China, Russia, Syria, Iran and Iraq. As I mentioned earlier, based on the sources provided, it appears that the "controversy and criticism" is restricted to Europe. We should mention the opinion of the rest of the world as well since it is contained in the same sources. Burrobert (talk) 14:05, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

replies: text:  Here is a suggestion: "Since becoming an MEP, Daly has gained international attention for her foreign policy views, particularly regarding Russia and China. Her view have been the subject of controversy and criticism in Europe and welcomed by China, Russia, Syria, Iran and Iraq. Burrobert (talk) 14:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I've installed a similar sentence; I only went with the first three countries as the vast majority of the coverage noted in these pieces is from China and Russia, and aside from that, Iran and Iraq only get passing mentions in one piece, while it's noted that Syria's state news agency and Bashar Al-Assad's party's newspaper reported on it. ser!
