== Maps of Republic of Ireland Constituencies == |
|||
Hi Barryob, well done on creating maps for the ROI Constituencies. It really makes a difference to see a map of the constituency, rather than just reading a description of its geography. Keep up the good work! [[User:Snappy56|Snappy56]] 20:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:No problem have I been meaning to make the maps for a while now, the artilces just seem bare without one. --[[User:Barryob|<font color="green" face="comic sans ms">Barryob</font>]] [[User talk:Barryob|<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Vigeur de dessus</font>]] 20:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC) |

::Well done on the maps. I'd like to point out a small error: you've mixed up [[Galway East]] and [[Galway West]]. Can this be rectified?--[[User:Damac|Damac]] 21:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC) |

::::Well done again on the maps but you appear to have forgotten about Cork South Central. It's the only ROI constituency without a map. Can you do the necesary? Thanks, [[User:Snappy56|Snappy56]] 20:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC) |

== Image:StormontChamber.JPG == |
|||
I have tagged [[:Image:StormontChamber.JPG]] as {{tl|no rationale}}, because it does not provide a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]]. If you believe the image to be acceptable for [[Wikipedia:fair use|fair use]] according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the [[Wikipedia:fair use rationale guideline|fair use rationale guideline]], on [[:Image:StormontChamber.JPG|the image description page]]. Please also consider using {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use]].

== Union of Soviet Socialist Republics == |
|||
Please address my arguments at [[Talk:Union of Soviet Socialist Republics#Name]] instead of moving the article with no points listed on the talk page. In particular, please prove, citing sources, that "Soviet Union" is more common, than "USSR". And explain, why well-knownencyclopedias use "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics", but Wikipedia should use "Soviet Union".[[User:Cmapm|Cmapm]] 23:27, 18 July 2007 (UTC) |

== National Anthem of Scotland == |
|||
Could you please stop changing the National Anthem away from God Save the Queen. I have stated that:<br /><br /> "The official National Anthem for Scotland is "God Save the Queen" as all countries under the rule of Westminster have this national anthem. This not only applies to Scotland but also Bermuda and other British Overseas Territories (BOTs) as well as Wales and Nothern Ireland. The only places this does not apply to are the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man and this is because they are not under the rule of Westminster and are not considered not to be BOTs but "Crown Dependents"." <br /><br />Although the Scotish hate to think so, it just is.--([[User:Alxh|Alxh]] 13:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC))-- |

I did not return to repeatedly undo another user's edits I removed and image that had an invalid fair use tag and was cluttering the section that it was in leaving white space at the bottom of the article it was Astrotrain who reveted me citing a discussion on the talk page archive that does not exist. --[[User:Barryob|<font color="green" face="comic sans ms">Barryob</font>]] [[User talk:Barryob|<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Vigeur de dessus</font>]] 15:42, 5 August 2007 (UTC) |

== Party shortnames and colors == |
|||
Thanks for the reasoning for the Plaid Cymru colour change - if you could include something like that in the edit summary or on the talk page should you change any other colours, that'd be really useful. I've changed back the Scottish National Party's shortname - as I'd already noted on the talk page, these shortnames need to be as short as possible, and "Scottish National" is perfectly clear, and in the format used for all the other party shortnames. [[User:Warofdreams|Warofdreams]] ''[[User talk:Warofdreams|talk]]'' 22:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:Thanks for getting back to me. Length is the most important factor; the shortname is used in a large number of tables, and some of them have very little space (see, for example, the [[list of UK by-elections]], where adding "Party" makes the column take up two rows on many displays). The consensus so far has been not to use acronyms, but rather to spell out the words, to give readers unfamiliar with British politics some idea of the parties. This could change, but if so, it should be a general change for all party shortnames. Finally, there are plenty of other examples of parties whose names have been shortened in a similar manner - for example, "Green" or "Scottish Socialist". For some reason, the SNP's shortname has provoked a lot of discussion. [[User:Warofdreams|Warofdreams]] ''[[User talk:Warofdreams|talk]]'' 13:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::While I'm not entirely convinced that "Scottish National" isn't an appropriate name, if you are still convinced that the party is a special case, and that despite the space issues, it is necessary to include "Party", I'll happily accept that.

==Irish articles assessments== |
|||
It seems that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Assessment|assessment of Irish articles]] has fallen off the radar but recently [[User:Flowerpotman|Flowerpotman]], [[User:Sarah777|Sarah777]] and I have been doing a little work on this as well as actually classifying articles (actually Sarah has done the most work). Anyway, you are listed as a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Members|member of the WikiProject]] hence this post. |
|||
== August 2016 == |
|||
* The first thing that needs doing is to work on the WikiProject template. Actually there are two templates both of which get recorded by the assessment statistics bot that collects the ratings and creates the listings in the category [[:Category:Ireland articles by quality]]. The two project templates are {{tl|Irelandproj}} [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland|listed on the main project page]] and {{tl|WikiProject Ireland}} [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Assessment|listed on the assessment page]]—the first allows both quality and importance rating as well as nesting but no reviewer comments, while the second allows quality rating and comments but the importance does not seem to work and comments are not included. This needs to be fixed, so we use one that works fully—can you help? |

== [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest|WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest]] == |
|||
Hi. This month [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest|The Women in Red World Contest]] is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by dictionary/ODNB|missing notable biographies]] from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks. |
|||
* The next thing is to decide if we just let editors assess as they wish or to create some criteria or guidelines for rating the quality and importance of the Irish articles. Personally I am in favour of some guidelines—some will be easy to decide while others are a little more complex. What do you think? |
