Gavigan 01

Welcome to wikipedia but please bear in mind that "Eire" is not the name of the State in English. Regards. Djegan 12:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you have not noticed but the "Irish Republic" has not existed for decades, the 1920s; the Six Counties is a pov term and theirfore not allowed; and their is no "Ministry of Transport", that is a British invention. Get you terminology right, viz WP:IMOS. Djegan 13:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Lighthouse Mountains

Hi Gav, I see you are adding the mountain infobox to lighthouse articles (as is User:Jeanne dArc) - I'm not sure that works well. Click on "listing" in the box and it brings up mountain articles. You should check see if there is a specific "lighthouse" template. Regards (Sarah777 23:59, 6 October 2007 (UTC))

Pointing and Boxing

We may not agree on photo selection or your use of "Mountain Boxes" but you are doing great work on pointing and coords and village infoboxes! (Sarah777 18:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC))

Bad Redirect - Fore

Gav, please note that you cannot simply redirect one article to another; you must (1) have a good reason for doing so; as I had SEPARATED the two (in the process of improving both) you needed to give a reason for reversing that action. (2) You lost the entire content of the Fore Village article; IF it is agreed to re-merge them than the text on the modern village, sports etc needs to be intigrated into the merged article. (3) IF we decide to re-merge that decision of which name, the village or the abbey must then be agreed. (Sarah777 11:28, 21 October 2007 (UTC))

Hello Sarah,

YOU have literally copied my text from Fore Abbey to Fore County Westmeath, which is in any case, is one of the same. Take it from a local.

Best regards,

Gav (as you call me). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavigan 01 (talk • contribs) 11:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear Gav01 (will there be more?!) I did indeed copy your excellent text when I separated the article. Exactly to avoid what you did - lose text. The reason that I separated them was so that each could grow in their separate space; as happened with the sporting links; your move lost that! But being local I will defer to you on this (even if not on photography matters!) - just make sure to merge any Fore Village info that isn't in the Abbey page (nearly all of it) before redirecting.

ps I call you Gav because it sounds less formal than Gavigan; but I will call you Mr Gavigan if it offends you. (Sarah777 11:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC))

Proposed deletion of Midland Railway Action Group

The article Midland Railway Action Group has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication that subject meets WP:NORG or WP:GNG (a Google search returns just 400 results - mainly this article and its mirrors). There are no substantive news, academic or other results. The content is also, IMO, all but irrecoverable. As it is a soapboxing essay which contains little other than original research and which isn't supported by the links offered as references. Few to none of which actually mention the titular subject/org...

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.
