message: Reverted because POV and anon.  The reason given by User:86.40.15.17 was "neither are legitimate or reasonable sources".  Indymedia offers space for both positive and negative views of all subjects posted, hardly unreasonable and Myserswatch is designated as satirical in the article.  I don't understand what "legitimate" means in this contextKaptKos 14:56, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

No, blogs aren't acceptable as sources on Wikipedia, but this blog isn't being presented as a source for any of the facts in the article, just as an "external link".

message: Tá TG4 beo fos, agus níos láidre ná riamh. But where oh where is our Kevin Myers? Down at his appropriate intellectual and qualitative level would be my response. 193.1.172.163 02:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anyone help? I'm looking for an article by Myers about Countess Markievicz. In it, Myers maintains that when Markievicz was courtmartialled after the Easter Rising she pleaded for her life and said, "You can't shoot a woman". (Not true, incidentally; I've seen a copy of the courtmartial record, which is freely available from the Kew archives.) I've done the usual internet searches but can't locate the article. Anyone in here have a copy, or can point me to a publication and date? Muchos thanksus. Ryancolm 12:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd love to know by what conceivable metric the Irish Times' editorial position could be described as left-leaning, except perhaps in the ludicrous North American definition of that term. DublinDilettante 05:27, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: By which you mean centralist. I agree, and removed the statement. IMO, Myers is a controversialist (nothing wrong with that, people buy newspaper to read that kind of thing), and leans from left to right as each article demands. Ceoil 19:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Did he not reject the theory of evolution in one of his articles -early 2007-in the Irish independent?
:Are you thinking of this article?  I wouldn't call that either of the above, but rather file it under the fairly standard "controversialism", and "non-scientist sounds off on science".  Alai 18:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
