Economy of Europe

Hi, I noticed you'd got this new article on you 'to do' list, so was wondering if you would add your support to it's nomination for Collaboration of the Week. Simply add your support here. Obviously such a big project needs as many users with relevant knowledge as possible, so hopefully this will promote it a little. Thanks, Grunners 00:45, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Could you please add copyright license info (and an image tag) to image:Celtic tiger cartoon.jpg - I plan to have it on the main page soon. →Raul654 18:19, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

Junior Cert

I'm wondering - what do you think needs to be done to Junior Cert before nomination for WP:FAC? It seems to be in reasonably good shape, but maybe you can see something I have missed.

Barnstar

For your great work writing featured articles such as Celtic Tiger, and for being so nice, I award you this barnstar. Cheers! John

Indymedia.ie

Lol! That's a good sign, anyway! At the risk of sounding like a self-serving spammer, would you have any interest in getting involved at Wikipedia:Wikiproject Holmes?

Capitalisation of people in categories

I've noticed that in adding people to categories such as Category:Irish radio personalities and Category:Irish business people you leave them as Firstname Lastname instead of Lastname, Firstname. Is this on purpose? I was about to correct them, but I didn't want to find out there was a reason behind it and leave a big mess...

Oh, don't you worry about me, CG, you just waltz around and do what ever you want, and I'll just come after you and clean up the mess you've made :-D JOHN COLLISON [ Ludraman (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ludraman&action=edit&section=new)] 22:40, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Typical of us Irish, getting dragged into a slagging watch while building an encyclopedia of all things :). Seriously, shouldn't Irish business people be Irish businesspeople? You're the one who's done Junior cert English, so I'll leave it to you!

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new)| talk)

Thanks. Nice that it made Main page this centenary year. Filiocht 08:31, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

Ulysses

Yes a remarkable book, and funny, too. I try to re-read ever few years and it's definitely my desert-island book. It gets to be heavy going in places, but worth sticking with when it does. I think the layers of meaning get a bit overstated; Joyce used a lot of things (like Homer) to help him structure the book, but the main thing is the writing, and the portrait of a city and a class, the lower-middle class Catholics with a pretension to culture. He also has a few side-swipes at Gaelic-league/IRB type smugness and other aspects of the city that annoyed him. Enjoy. I'll look at Ryanair later today. Filiocht 08:24, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)

Ryanair

Congrats on FA status. Good work. Filiocht 13:24, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)

A bit belatedly, also wanted to say well done for seeing it through to featured. The article was a woefully short stub when I first noticed it - one of the things that prompted me to start editing. I've enjoyed doing my bit for the article, and it's great to see it make it all the way to featured. Worldtraveller 22:17, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

thanks for the welcome, Wikipedian231 22:29, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Irish Town Stubs

Hi, I don't want to make you go crazy, but there's a whole big new list of Irish towns that need stubs. When I was working on Mayo, I added a bunch of towns from the Gaelige site. I found a bunch more on the individual county pages. Here's a quick link: Talk:List_of_towns_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland/to_do#Need_articles

Wikiportal Wikinews

I've started the Ireland Wikiportal page. Please take a look at it and tell me what you think. As you are immensely involved in Wikinews, your contribution to the news portion of the portal is greatly appreciated. One news headline at a time should be sufficient, but if you deem more are helpful, please do so. It should be self evident, but if you decide to help, and need to make any changes this link: edit  (https://academickids.com:443/encyclopedia/index.php?title=Template:Ireland_portal/Ireland_news&action=edit) will work for you.
