Fermanagh
I will not press the issue, but I think you are wrong. Fermanagh is essentially an administrative area, whether called a district or a county. So it should be marked as such, even in a county list. --Audiovideo 01:55, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The county and district are two distinct areas - Template:Counties of Ireland is for the former and not the latter - in summary "County Fermanagh" is to "Fermanagh District" as England is to Britain - the terms are not interchangeable.

- Do you think there was a difference before 1973? --Audiovideo 13:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I am not sure what you mean - now is 2005 in any case and counties and districts are different - the fundemental question is is County Fermanagh an administrative entity?, no, Fermanagh District is - but this table is not about districts. Djegan 17:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Dublin City University Article
- I think it might be prudent to cut back or possibly eliminate the lists of various things. Djegan 19:35, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure what to take out, I'll leave that up to you. I'm good at finding information, not figuring out whether a particular piece of information is suitable for inclusion in an article, or whether the format used to display the information is appropriate eg: lists. - Beta
- It is not my intention to totally remove any of the material you have introduced but rather to restructure the article so that material on accomodation, bars and restaurants should come under one single section such as "Facilities" - or simailar - and the material presented as written paragraphs rather than lists of facts. My own preference is for written paragraphs in a narrative form that can be easier to read and edit. Djegan 14:22, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
DCU Library
Do you have a better image of the O'Reilly library than the one on the DCU definition? If you do please replace the image which is currently being used.
- That current image is a model as far as I know but I think it is the best their might be. Djegan 22:00, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
A picture similar to the one on the front of the DCU Visa (http://www.dcu.ie/alumni/credit_card.shtml) card would be better, if one could be found.
DCU Links
Could these useful links about DCU's governing structure, board of trustees etc.. be left in or should they be put on a different page:
- Corporate Identity (http://www.dcu.ie/marketing/logo/index.shtml)
- DCU Administration and Organisation (http://www.dcu.ie/staff/administration.shtml)
- DCU Business & Innovation (http://www.dcu.ie/business.shtml)
- DCU Counselling Service (http://www.dcu.ie/students/counselling/index.shtml)-not sure about this one.
- DCU Disability Service (http://www.dcu.ie/students/disability/index.shtml)-not sure about this one.
- DCU Educational Trust (http://www.dcu.ie/trust/trustees.shtml)
- DCU Education Services (http://www.dcu.ie/education_services/index.shtml)
- DCU Events (http://www.dcu.ie/news/cal.php3)
- DCU General Information (http://www.dcu.ie/info/)
- DCU Governing Authority (http://www.dcu.ie/info/governing_authority.shtml)
- DCU Health Service (http://www.dcu.ie/students/health/index.shtml)-not sure about this one.
- DCU International Office (http://www.dcu.ie/international/index.shtml)
- DCU News (http://www.dcu.ie/news.shtml)
- DCU Public Affairs and Media Relations Office (http://www.dcu.ie/marketing/campaign.shtml)
- DCU Summer Accommodation (http://www.summeraccommodation.dcu.ie/)
- DCU Visual Arts (http://www.dcu.ie/arts/index.htm)
- I think it is better to leave them out and leave links relevant - if you have specific relevant information then by all means add it into the article. It is no harm to add info governance etc, but goverance in irish universities tends to be too broad. I have left a message on your talk page, Beta. Djegan 17:50, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Were these links not valid in the positions they were in, in the DCU entry:
DCU Public Affairs and Media Relations Office (http://www.dcu.ie/marketing/campaign.shtml)
Institutional Exchange Links (http://www.dcu.ie/international/partners.shtml)
DCU International Office (http://www.dcu.ie/international/index.shtml)
roomsatdcu.com (http://www.roomsatdcu.com)
DCU Summer Accommodation (http://www.summeraccommodation.dcu.ie/)
DCU Administration and Organisation (http://www.dcu.ie/staff/administration.shtml)
DCU Educational Trust (http://www.dcu.ie/trust/trustees.shtml)
- I have no problem with links, but my fear is perhaps that their are already a lot of links - certainly if they can be worked into the text then by all means. Djegan 22:39, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Poor work on recent Irish articles
I've been going through jtdirl's edits, and I'm appalled at the generally low quality of his work. Errors in spelling and grammar abound, many details are incorrect, and the way he tortures English makes me wince. I've been cleaning up his edits, but I've only gone back a few days so far and it looks like a lot of work. Perhaps English is not his native language, but apart from style, his material is not reliable. At one point he talked about "the President of the United Kingdom" as a factual office.
I'm not putting myself forward as a purveyor of high class English, but the stuff put out by this editor is pretty bloody ordinary, and that's me being generous! Could you take a look at his stuff, please?
Thanks for the space, BTW - mote in mate's eye and all that! Pete 22:09, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I am not convinced that Jtdirl's edits are low quality as a matter of course - in particular comments you placed in the edit history of Official Seal of the President of Ireland [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Official_Seal_of_the_President_of_Ireland&action=history) would appear to be part of a series of edits intended for him which you posted today. In fact Jtdirl only has superficially edited this article by the inclusion of a template and much of the work on this article is by me, in fact.
Djegan 22:20, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- My mistake. I've been looking at jtdirl's edits and correcting errors. In this case you are correct, and I assumed that the the mistakes were his. Nevertheless, he has dropped some real clangers and if someone with a knowledge of Irish affairs were to go over his work, perhaps errors that I am unable to detect could be corrected.

lots of edits, not an admin
Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 22:39, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
