S***** of America

Good catch. I watch Fort Lauderdale, Florida and I must have missed that one little treasure. Thanks! ℬastique▼^talk 3 July 2005 18:45 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006

Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 03:56, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Vicipéid

Hello, Fabhcún. I appreciate your desire for Vicipéid to be expanded beyond its current range of articles. However, I am not the best person for that task. The time I allot to myself for making translations is already more than filled each day. I translate texts and edit translated texts as part of both of my jobs. Therefore, I cannot work on Vicipéid at this time or in the near future. Also, if I do any translation work for the Wikis in the future, it will almost certainly appear at WikiBooks rather than Wikipedia. P.MacUidhir 20:33, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Irish people peer review?

The additions and editions made on this page even within recent weeks - especily photos - has vastly improved it, to the better I think. Would you support it being submitted for a peer review, and help tidy it up/add some more? Fergananim 14:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

RE: Ireland article name poll

Hello! Thanks for your note. Yes: the poll has formally ended with a clear result; I will close and summarise it in the next day or two. In any event, that shouldn't preclude ongoing discussions regarding this. Besides: patience is a virtue. Thanks! E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 08:35, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Grizzly-polar bear

Fair enough, as soon as the other person popped up I realized that it wasn't just you. I just noticed the previous two instances because we seem to be online at roughly the same time giving the false impression. My apologies. -- Bobak 19:29, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

President

Actually the President is part of the Oireachtas. The Oireachtas is made up of the President and both Houses, just as in the Free State the Oireachtas consisted of the King and both Houses. Article 12 (I think it is) of the Bunreacht makes the former clear. FearÉIREANN\^{(caint) 19:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)}

Location Maps

On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the discussion (also in other sections α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 7 Feb2007 20:11 (UTC)

An Daingean/Dingle name change

I just want to say that I fully support the re-moving of the page "Dingle" back to "An Daingean". I would like to start another request to make it so. No matter what the only-english-speaking opponents of the move think about policies, I still think that as the official name it should be so. I have already made the change on the French Wikipedia. Would you be interested in helping me do it here? Shaw, Stephen 13:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
