Talk:Terenure

message: The left hand turn and the 'nineth townhouse'.
Why is the left hand turn even in this article?

thread_title: Traffic

message: I think that the method of extrapolating the population of Terenure from the 2002 CSO figures is flawed, in that the boundaries of a suburb such as Terenure cannot be said to be described by the DEDs including the name of the suburb.  See my talk page and that of Bastique for our discussion on the topic.
I'm removing the figure from the infobox, but I welcome comments on this matter. --Ryano 12:25, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Population

message: This no longer makes sense since the reference to Dublin 4 was deleted.  In fact it suggests that Dublin 6W ought to be a lower-class suburb.

message: >> It is located north of Harold's Cross and south of Rathfarnham. 
Eh, no!  Going south from the River Liffey you pass through Harold's Cross, then Terenure, then Rathfarnham.  Therefore Terenure is south of Harold's Cross and north of Rathfarnham.

thread_title: Geographical error

message: As a long-term resident of Terenure, I'd really like somebody to explain to me:
Who was 'drinker Thomas Barry'?
Where is 'the west bank of the town'?
What was the '10 Penny Bag War' and how are we supposed to 'see' it when there is no such article?
Is Terenure College really called 'The Gick' and why have i never heard that before (I'm a Mary's man myself)?

replies: text: Yeah, some very dodgy stuff in there which I've now removed.  Some of the information might be valid but we'll wait for sources etc. --Ryano 11:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Austin Clarke

message: Is that bit in the sport section not kinda vandalism? Seems inappropriate for an encyclopedia? Backbeatlistener (talk) 01:15, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really.  I questioned it myself a few paragraphs ago, but it turns out that actually is its nickname.  The explanation is a bit "ew", but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with stating facts, with an explanation.  Scolaire (talk) 07:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The Gick" 

message: This paragraph has been repeatedly added over a period of years without any attempt to show notability.  I have googled mannering "new york" and there is no prominent Mannering family in that city.  I have also looked at the Mannering family of Terenure in the 1911 census and the head of household was a car driver, not an estate agent. The 30 September 2009 edition of Southside People is on-line here.  The article on Terenure is quite obviously taken from this Wikipedia article, including the Mannering paragraph. I am asking the person who is adding the paragraph to please stop.  Scolaire (talk) 14:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A stand alone article was also deleted in November 2009 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Mannerings of Terenure. Notability has never been shown nor verified in either article. ww2censor (talk) 14:55, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Mannerings 

message: I have removed the following from the article:
*"Gick" is old Dublin slang for cow dung. The nickname was conferred on Terenure College around the 1960's . At that time the Carmelites ran a farm on College grounds. The livestock included dairy cattle which were allowed to graze on the rugby pitches. As a result during matches many rugby players got covered in cow dung (in tackles and collapsed scrums). Some 'Nure players specialised in collapsing scrums played over cow patties so the opposition would fall face first ino the "Gick" i.e. the cow dung. Away teams dreaded playing there and christened the College the "Gick" . Farmimg activities at the college ceased around 1972
If a reference can be found it can be added back, but I have to say that it looks like some rugby (not Terenure) fan having a laugh.  Scolaire (talk) 06:29, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

text: Anu old boy who schools rugby can verify the origin of the nicknmae. It was realted to me in the early 1990's by a played from Blackrock who played schools rugby in the 1960's. I also heard it in New York from an old boy fron 'Nure. The older priests in the College will tell you thta this in the origin.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.223.203.4 (talk) 10:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, but there is a poliicy called Wikipedia:Verifiability, which says that all material in Wikipedia articles must be attributable to a reliable published source.  If no source exists for something you want to add to Wikipedia, it is what we call original research, and original research is not allowed.  If you cannot find a reliable published source for this "fact", please do not continue to add it back, as that is disruptive.  Scolaire (talk) 10:58, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request on 10 January 2012 

message: Just wondering whether somebody could add something about how Terenure used to be called Roundtown. When was it changed, why? Is Terenure an older historical name or was it plucked from nowhere in the 19th century? Seems odd that it hasn't been mentioned at all in the article.
I don't know much about this at all, and will change it myself when I find out more information (but this could happen in a while or never).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Achasanai (talk • contribs) 20:48, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
