Hi

Happy to see another Corkman editing. I presume your from Coachford? I'm from Macroom myself. Ceoil (talk) 01:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, yep I'm from around the Coachford area myself. Corkonian2013 (talk) 22:52, 10 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, would you like an up to date picture of Saint Olans Rectory? I'm not an editor but could send you a file via e-mail.

Aghavrin House

I might be passing Coachford next weekend, will I try and get a replacement photograph? Ceoil (talk) 14:31, 15 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

That would be great Ceoil. This is a private property, so a distant road-shot as opposed to that quality close-up would be the only option. I did explain when uploading that the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (whose image that is) are happy for their images to be used for educational purposes (as confirmed on their website) but that doesn't seem to have worked here.

Yeah I noticed you explained, but you might have gathered that the image police around here are not the most lovely of our community. <sigh> Ceoil (talk) 23:08, 15 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
I could just knock on the door and expalin how its for the article. Done this a few times before with stone circles up arond Ballyvourna, and most people are accommodating and nice like that. Ceoil (talk) 23:16, 15 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

It should be possible to get an image of the house (and its nice surrounds/demesne too) with a camera lens from the road to the south .... from about this spot ... http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,544040,575247,6,10 The (un)funny thing is that road wasn't there when the house was built (or when the ornamental tower on the other side of the road now across the field was built. That's one of those famine relief roads/works of 1846/1847.

Now thats very interesting and something I didnt know before. Famine roads are something I sort of know about, but not really. I often drove between between Coachford and Bween (towards Mitchelstown) but never really got why the road is why it is. You seem to have a lot of knowledge; I hope you stay around on wiki, you seem to have some very interesting articles in you. Ceoil (talk) 00:23, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

It gets better. That road was sanctioned at Coachford Courthouse Petty Sessions in late 1846, but its location was disputed by the famine relief committees of Aghabullogue & Magourney. Both areas were (are still are) in the catholic parish of Aghabullogue, but in the Civil administrative parishes of Aghabullogue & Magourney. The road travels along the border of both civil parishes, through a bog. I dread to think of the conditions of those who actually built it amidst local political meanderings.

Thats what I think too when driving those roads; god help the souls that built them. I also have Denis Power's inventory of mid Cork; its a wonderful book. Ceoil (talk) 01:18, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Alternate image up re Aghavrin House, copyright free. I'll upload a better one later on. Corkonian2013 (talk) 16:51, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mullinhassig Wood & Waterfalls, Aghavrin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Irish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I have only just noticed my article on Clonmoyle House West was deleted. This was more than just a 'farmhouse' as per one reviewer's comment. It was the parochial house of Aghabullogue Catholic parish, and resided in by Rev Mahony, who was parish priest during the Great Famine. It continued to be the parochial house for many decades thereafter, and a very fine and considerable residence it was for members of the Catholic clergy, considering the times.
I therefore insist this article be reinstated at the earliest possible opportunity. The building, which still exists today, is of historic significance, and the article should not have been removed for that simple fact alone. Corkonian2013 (talk) 16:01, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Clontead House

edit
 

The article Clontead House has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable private house. Appears on some maps. But is not subject to any protection or any survey by any heritage body in Ireland. For example, it does not appear in the RMP (Records of Monments and Places) for County Cork. Nor has it been listed in the RPS (Record of Protected Structures by Cork County Council]. Nor has it been surveyed by the NIAH (National Inventory of Architectural Heritage) for even potential inclusion in any registry. Subject hence fails WP:NBUILDING as well as WP:SIGCOV (the only source we have to support the text are maps. And directory listings. And they barely support the text. And do not support notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Guliolopez (talk) 20:14, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have only now realised that my article on Clontead House was deleted. I submit this property is not a 'non-notable private house'. This was the residence of Simon Davies, Church of Ireland rector of Magourney & Kilcolman. He was actively involved in education and indeed used this very property for educational purposes for some time. Furthermore, this was a time of agrarian disturbances, by 'Whiteboys'. The said Simon Davies had his tithe crops burnt and in addition had three of his cows' tails cut off and nailed to the door of nearby Magourney church. That particular event was noteworthy enough to make the Dublin Evening Post, amongst many other newspapers. Therefore this property is of historic significance, by virtue of its direct connection to Davies, and I would ask that the article be reinstated without delay. Corkonian2013 (talk) 16:17, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Belated response. If Simon Davies is notable, then any of the above can be covered in an article on Simon Davies. Otherwise, notability doesn't transfer from a person to their possessions or property. Notability isn't inherited. (Marilyn Monroe was notable. It doesn't make each house/home/apartment, in which she she lived, sufficiently notable or worthy of standalone article(s).) Guliolopez (talk) 11:23, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Larchfield House, Carrignamuck

The article Larchfield House, Carrignamuck has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable private house. Fails WP:NBUILDING (not a protected structure) and WP:GNG (no coverage of any description beyond the ROTM entry in the NIAH database). And, even at that, the NIAH entry doesn't give the building a name.
