Talk to me...don't be upset if I read and delete.

Dear RH - I appreciated the contribution to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Norman_invasion_of_Ireland&oldid=250260530 and http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Norman_invasion_of_Ireland as I was following a discussion on the confusion around the origin of Costello at http://languagehat.com/costello/#comment-2627245 thank you.

Can you elaborate on the evidence/sources for this paragraph? "A baron of Hugh de Lacy, the MacCostellos (Mac Oisdealbhaigh) were one of the first Norman families in Connacht, settling in Mayo in what became the Barony of Costello, which originally included part of neighboring County Roscommon (their sixteenth-century seat was near Ballaghadereen, now in Roscommon). They were the first of the Norman invaders to adopt a Gaelic name, which marks their descent from Oisdealbh, son of the famous Gilbert de Nangle (Latin: de Angulo), who was one of the first Cambro-Norman invaders. His family, the de Angulos, obtained vast estates in Meath, where they were Barons of Navan. The family thence spread into Leinster and Connacht, where the leading family adopted the Gaelic patronymic Mac Oisdealbhaigh, as we have seen. Those in Leinster, and those in Connacht that did not adopt this form, became Nangles (de Nogla); while those in Cork became Nagles. The Waldrons (Mac Bhaildrin) are a branch of the MacCostellos in Mayo."

This is my first post to a wikipedia persons so hope I've got it in right place. Caliguspedia (talk) 13:05, 28 February 2017 (UTC)MC

Civil war in kilkeny

Hi RH,

Re the Irish civil war confrontation in Kilkenny in May 1922, I ca't find the reference in the Dail debate to 18 killed.

Michael Hopkinson says, "There was much firing but few casualties" (Green against Green, p. 75).

Niall Harrington in the Kerry Landings says that clashes between pro and tni treatyites before June 28 had left 8 dead and 49 wounded, (p23).

Could it have been 18 casualties in Kilkenny rather than 18 killed? Cheers.

Jdorney 16:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi JD,

That's why I said: "On 3 May the Dáil was informed 18 men had been killed in the fighting in Kilkenny" - not that it was true. The source of info was O'Hegarty who should have known, during the unusual crisis address by the officers to the Dáil (about page 368 I think)....

"PRESIDENT GRIFFITH: It is now for the Committee to meet and discuss their procedure. I move now the adjournment of the House until 3 o'clock on Friday, when the Committee will report to the House. The remainder of the agenda, of course, will be unchanged.

COMMANDANT O'HEGARTY: Before the House adjourns, Mr. Speaker, perhaps you will allow me again the privilege of speaking. If this Committee is going to do anything, there must be a truce between the two armies. I have a report now that there is heavy fighting going on in Kilkenny and that 18 have been killed. That is a good start—is it not? And people are sitting down here discussing whether they will compromise themselves by stopping it."

Notably the whole Dáil felt that it was credible at that time that 18 could have been killed; not that 18 were actually killed. Obviously a report had just been handed to him. Or it could have been a bluff on his part. But there it is on the Dáil record, and indeed if it was wrong it has never been corrected. Also "the two armies" - said by an army officer - says it all - i.e. "not our army and the dissidents in its ranks".

Quoting from Dáil pages is a bit cumbersome but if you search a page for keywords you will find the right place.

Your work on the page has been outstanding. My focus is on the Treaty to war period, Jan - June 1922, and I find that a lot of detail is missing from better-known history books. But I don't consider this to be WP:OR as it is in the official records. For balance, I'm planning to add Sean McEntee's comment that the Army Executive was superior to the Dáil, if it deserted the republic, as that neatly explains the exact sense of legality on the anti-treaty side. Then I'll leave it. Clearly the tragedy didn't start when the Four Courts was shelled.Red Hurley 11:08, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. The more one reads about it, the more you realise that it was brewing for quite a long time up to June 28.

I take your point about Kilkenny. And nice work yourself on the aricle.

I'd like to re-include the reference to Collins wanting to avert civil war. It is a point that is emphasised a lot in books about the period. He seems to have been giving the anti-treaty side arms and letting them take over barracks right up until the end of June 1922, against the advice of Griffith, O'Higgins and the British. Arguably his prevarication helped the crisis to build up to the pitch it did. Also, it seems that he was trying right up to the end to re-direct IRA attention to the North. It's by no means clear what the man was really up to, and now of course we'll never know for sure.

Jdorney 11:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes - I don't think he knew himself. By May 1922 it had got out of control of any one person. He did of course want to avert civil war. The economy was in ruins, the volunteers had no jobs to go to, nobody wanted to invest in Ireland until the political situation was clearer. A lesson, if ever needed, that military people have to stand aside when peace breaks out...Red Hurley 12:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Hi (once again) Red,

Getting away from the unseemly quarrel that is the Dunmanway Massacre article, I have finally expanded the sections of the guerrilla phase of the Irish Civil War. Your thoughts are welcome as we discussed this once before and I know this is an area you are interested in.

Partition of Ireland

Re.: On the Boundary commission part I've changed this big mistake - 'The report of the Commission (and thus the terms of the agreement) has yet officially to be made public:" - in fact the agreement was made public about an hour after it was made (and the agreement meant that the Commission and its report were no longer needed). See this.Red Hurley (talk) 14:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

From what I can see you have confused publication of the agreement concerning the border with publication of the Boundary Commission's report....Not the same thing! Regards. Redking7 (talk) 19:55, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Excuse long absence - the terms of the agreement were made public, the original text was vague or wrong, and those terms meant that thereafter the report had no functional use. As I recall it suggested that some 100,000 of the 6-counties' 350,000 nationalists would be included in the IFS, so it was always going to be a matter of percentages of percentages.Red Hurley (talk) 13:04, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Irish Brigade

Ok, I accept that the Connolly Column was not a brigade, but casual visitors may not have the information to be able to make an informed search. They need to know that there were two Irish contingents, and be pointed towards the other one. Accordingly, I have reinstated the for-see template, but reworded it to avoid the word Brigade. I hope that you will accept this compromise. --Red King (talk) 16:57, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

My concern (and I suppose it could be regarded as POV) is to reflect the fact that there was a significant anti-fascist Irish presence as well as the more well-known pro-fascist. That is why I think it belongs as a for/see rather than a see also, that it is a direct contrast rather than a vaguely related item.

I'm concerned by your remarks about the CC article: as you may have noticed, I have not edited it significantly, if at all. I have no primary sources: wikipedia is all I have. I came to it from an article I read somewhere about Peadar O'Donnell – it was the first time I had heard of yet another IRA split in the 30s, which is interesting. The split, as you probably already know, was between the left-wingers who wanted to support international anti-fascism and the holy maries who wanted to stay with bourgeois nationalism. How history repeats itself! I would gladly work to improve the CC article if I could. --Red King (talk) 20:32, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:40, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, and the debate itself is outdated, but some people might seek it out so IMHO better to have it in there - or maybe on a separate linked article? Lots of sources in wiki are outdated, see Creationism.Red Hurley (talk) 11:47, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I agree, the fact that lots of dead geezers spent ages arguing about it should be in the article, but that's background rather than the main thing. Oddly enough Saint Patrick (and Saint Columba) have exactly the opposite problem. They have nothing about dead geezers claiming that they were really Church of Ireland/Church of Scotland guys rather than [Roman] Catholics. All very strange! It might not be entirely a thing of the past either.

Disambiguation link notification for August 24

Hi. When you recently edited Hugh O'Reilly, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page King Charles I (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

File source problem with File:JJolybust1930.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:JJolybust1930.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:04, 24 March 2014 (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.

Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge

Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:42, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
