message: Hi, this is one for the disambiguation experts, the Harry Harrington, or is it Harry Harington?
See Levenshtein distance\Levenstein distance.
What about slovenly use of language..
Often our sources have an incorrrect spelling, but we think we know better..

message: I removed the following claim, because it is not true:
"Padraig Harrington is a tee-totaller. Quotes of the Week"
In fact, Harrington does drink occassionally.  See the following stories about his famous all-nighter after the Ryder Cup:

Therefore, the fact is that he drinks alcohol, albeit rarely, and thus not important enough to make.  Oconnell usa (talk) 18:36, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  As Tee-totaller 

message: The name Pádraig may be pronounced either /pa:drig'/ ("Paw-drig"), /pa:rig'/ "Paw-rig" or /pa:rik'/ "Paw-rik". Other variant spellings are "Pádhraic" and "Páraic". The first pronunciation (with the "d") is that of Munster and Ulster, whereas the latter two with the silent "d" are only used in Connacht, although there is evidence that the "d" was silent in south Leinster, also, when Irish was spoken there as a native community language. The silent "d" has become commonplace amongst English speakers of late, particularly in Dublin and the east coast, most likely due to the close connections between learners of Irish from Dublin and Galway, who tend to send their children to the Connemara Gaeltacht rather than to Munster or Ulster. Is there any evidence regarding how Pádraig Harrington himself pronounces his own name? If not, I am going to remove the reference to "Pádraig" as "paw-rick" until someone finds a reliable reference.

thread_title: Proof of pronunciation

message: Correcting inaccuracy as to Pádraigs status as a qualified accountant. Pádraig studied and passed his accountancy exams, however having not actually practiced as an accountant, he is not a qualified accountant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.167.220.4 (talk) 17:19, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That may be so; however, since this is an article containing biographical material regarding a living person, potentially controversial claims such as that one require a reference to support it specifically in regard to Harrington.

replies: text: And what if he does? It has no bearing on this article. If you wish to add information related to a living person provide a RS or it may be removed. Bjmullan (talk) 11:30, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does he have a sister? 

message: The readability of results in major championships is very much improved by merging Padraig's 1990's results with his 2000's results. I think this is self evident - Also see Tiger Woods page for example of how readability is improved by this grouping.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joerow (talk • contribs) 09:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

message: We have no sources to say where he is from. Is he even Irish? If so, can we safely say that he's from Dublin or South Dublin? Laurel Lodged (talk) 22:32, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure where Padraid is from, but Pádraig Harrington is definitely from Ireland; . Brocach (talk) 23:30, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If that's the best source available, perhaps we should abstain from a "by county" classification for him. Laurel Lodged (talk) 23:34, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: We can safely say (of Pádraig) Dublin: , and in any case since he was born in 1971 we can be certain that it is wrong to describe him as being "from" any administrative division that did not exist at that time. Brocach (talk) 23:39, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Wiki does not use Brittanica as a source. So we're back to just generic Ireland. Laurel Lodged (talk) 23:56, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
