message: Hi - I came here because this article has been nominated for review as a good article.  I think a few more wikilinks are in order - particularly for dates, but also for places such as Bantry Bay.  The reference links can be called on more than once using  ; that might be useful in this case as there seem to be a few more statements crying out for references.

message: See the above Music section of the talk page for history of the dispute.
Vrac. I think you are being far too impatient on this and are running foul of WP:FORUMSHOP. You should give it at least a week on this page before going to another forum. best wishes. Bob  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BScar23625 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The full song lyric at the bottom of the article feels like a sudden swerve in the subject matter. It interrupts the preceding cohesion of the article. I wouldn't want the lyric in even if reliable sources reported a connection... I'd just want a brief note detailing what the source said about the song. Furthermore, there's no need at all for the youtube link. Binksternet (talk) 22:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Unless reliable sources have reported on a connection between the song and the incident, it would be original research to assert a connection. Since it is being used as an indication of cultural significance, reputable references should be provided regarding this cultural context. Report what those sources state, nothing more or less.

message: "The government used the terminal (after carrying out a limited refurbishment) to hold its strategic oil reserve, with loading and unloading carried out via a buoy. The terminal's main jetty was not rebuilt."
This is not entirely true. The unloading of the strategic oil reserve in 1990 as part of Ireland's preparations as the Gulf War proceeded, was done through the main jetty. This jetty, though badly damanged, has hastily repaired for the one-off unloading. It was incident free. This was the last time the jetty was used.
The buoy, called the Single Point Mooring (SPM), was installed in 1996 and its first ship arrived in 1998.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjbutler201 (talk • contribs) 22:10, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

message: In 1986 Harper-Collins published the novel "A Thunder of Crude" by Brian Callison, it is a fictionalized version of the Whiddy Island disaster that relocates the events to Scotland. It might be worth mentioning in the main article. Opinions wanted. Graham1973 (talk) 03:11, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
