Hi, and again welcome. Your contributions are already helping, as for example re. Deansgrange. Please be a little cautious with sources like Lewis, and lists such as those of houses of Kill o'the Grange and Dun Laoghaire - Lewis is great, and can very much help to grow hundreds of articles, but his work is a snapshot of one point in time, and the lists of houses are not appropriate to general locality articles, unless said houses are notable over an extended period, or are real features today. Thanks for citing, and for attentive writing; if there is the odd slip of capitals or grammar, someone will generally help soon. Good luck! SeoR (talk) 10:41, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Lewis
editHi. And welcome. A couple of quick notes:
- Lewis is a useful resource. But there is no reason to copy/paste large tracts of Lewis's 1837 work into articles. Wikipedia is not a mirror/republisher of other sources, is not a directory of people/houses/stuff (either from today or 200 years ago), and is not an indiscriminate collection of random information (without context or relevance). In short: stop doing things like this please.
- Lewis is a largely reliable resource. But there is no reason to treat Lewis as some kind of immutable/gospel source. To the extent that everything contained within it is concrete fact. If relying or quoting from Lewis, then make sure it is clear that this is what is happening. In short: stop doing things like this please.
- Lewis is not the only source. And is nearly 200 years old. There is no way that it can or should be used to describe things that are present tense. (Like saying there are "Goshawks nesting on Ireland's Eye", and stating as much while relying ENTIRELY on a source that was written when Jesus was a boy. Goshawks were rendered all but extinct in Ireland during the 19th century, so declaring that they are [now] nesting close to Dublin would need something far more reliable and current than something written 200 years ago.) In short: stop adding stuff like this please.
Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 13:50, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Ww2censor. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kilmacanogue, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. This article already has too few sources. You can readd this if you provide reliable sources. ww2censor (talk) 18:39, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
