New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation

Hello Snappy! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

Irish presidential election, 2011

Considering putting that for GA? You shouldnt have much probs with that b/c its damn well sourced and extended.Lihaas (talk) 12:27, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think that's a good idea. Snappy (talk) 20:02, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dáil constituency names

I've (constructively) criticised some edits of yours at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland#Dáil constituency names. No offence intended! jnestorius^(talk) 20:28, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have WAY too much time on your hands! Snappy (talk) 20:32, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Higgins

I hope that my reply to you at Talk:Michael D. Higgins reassures you about my attitude to trivia — a distaste we both share. — O'Dea (talk) 18:55, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the historical logo of Fine Gael, it had a St. Patrick's Saltire on a St. Patrick's Blue field

The St. Patrick's Saltire on a St. Patrick's Blue-field flag was not just the flag of the Blueshirts, it was the flag of Fine Gael that succeeded the Blueshirts and a number of conservative Irish nationalist groups. The Blueshirts ceased to exist in 1933. Here is the logo that says "Fine Gael": [1]--R-41 (talk) 18:34, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake then, apologies. Snappy (talk) 18:42, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering why you have change my edits on a number of articles from Ireland to Republic of Ireland. "In other places prefer use of Ireland, except where the island of Ireland or Northern Ireland is being discussed in the same context or where confusion may arise. In such circumstances use Republic of Ireland (e.g. "Strabane is at the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland").An exception is where the state forms a major component of the topic (e.g. on articles relating states, politics or governance) where Ireland should be preferred and the island should be referred to as the island of Ireland, or similar (e.g. "Ireland is a state in Europe occupying most of the island of Ireland")." I dont see how ambigious misconception would occur . Basic your edits mean that Ireland should never be used .Murry1975 (talk) 15:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
