Talk:Gort

message: The Irish Times, that bastion of Gaelicism, complained on Saturday about people pronouncing Gort to rhyme with hurt and advised "try rhyming it with DART".  Now, in Munster Irish, gort more-or-less rhymes with (the English word) hurt: is this also true in Connacht Irish?  If so, is the IT wrong? Or is the accepted English pronunciation different from the Irish?  In which case, does it really rhyme with dart, cart, mart?  Or with wart, sort? Or (for those without the horse-hoarse merger) with port, court?  The DART bit looks like a (possibly ironic) bit of Dortspeak. jnestorius(talk) 15:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Rhyming with DART makes no sense at all.  How strangulated Donnybrook would you have to be to come up with that one! My fur hur indeed.  Well the Galway (city) pronunciation version is somewhere between hu-rt and go-rt, certainly not ga-rt.   [Note for English readers, the R is not elided as it would be in English English - i.e., it is gorrt rather than gawt]. --Red King (talk) 20:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Ehm, no. You are now citing a catalogue, not a book. I severely get the idea that you have idea what you are actually citing, just to fancy up the article.The Banner talk 21:20, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: You're grasping at straws here... just to obstruct improvements to this article? It's funny you keep talking about a catalogue, maybe you're referring to the ISBN and OCLC numbers? Those are automatically generated by the Wikipedia Editor software. I'm literally sitting her with these books at my side. You could maybe Google the titles and see for yourself?

thread_title:  better-template 

message: I see no reason why a single editor has the right to individually determine some cited quotes from acceptable sources are suitable for article inclusion and others aren't. This is disruptive editing, utterly subjective, and soapboxing... (apperently against a neighbouring town based on what's written here). What makes a Wikipedia article encyclopedic is a range of sourced information from different people. Not one self appointed provincial 'authority'. 93.107.125.143 (talk) 13:46, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

text: Most of the content you are adding is not encyclopaedia speech. This is an encyclopaedia, not the local newspaper trying to rile up the villagers against the big evil.

text: The repeated "final word" edits and revisions of a single editor on here are downright appalling and oddly considered acceptable. Never has including a sourced detail like size or location been non-encyclopaedic. Am absolutely disgusted with the bully culture that is tolerated on Wikipedia and the bogger version of it on Irish articles. Am calling on a more patient and senior editor to review the nonsense that regularly passes here. Regards, Hesperian Nguyen (talk) 15:35, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disruptive edits 

message: Looks like there have been some issues here previously, without diving into that, I think the following, or some version of it is a relevant update to the circumstances and reveals some of the drama/tension that has existed around this proposal. Namely, that there was a groundswell of support visible in the donations made to hire solicitors, and that the solicitors won. This has been announced. All of the language and sources used are neutral.
In December 2022, An Bord Pleanála overturned a Galway County Council planning decision and permission was granted for a biogas plant near the town. The Gort Biogas Concern group raised over €80,000 in January of 2023 for legal representation, shortly after national headlines were made when bags of dung were thrown at "Minister of State Anne Rabbitte during a public meeting" in protest to the plant by a local farmer. By August, a challenge against the planning decision was being heard by the High Court and in November the campaigners against the plant declared it “no longer a threat”.

replies: text:  You seem to say that a lot and I believe are the most tendentious editor on here. I understad your link there perfectly, I wish you did as well. If there is sourced information from reliable sources that paints a fuller picture in a neutral way in this digital encyclopedia then it can/should/needs to be included. Looking forward to hearing another voice.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.125.143 (talk) 15:49, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
