Contraception in the Reublic of Ireland

As per WP:BOLDTITLE Links should not be placed in the boldface reiteration of the title in the opening sentence of a lead and WP:IRE-IRL An exception is where the state forms a major component of the topic (e.g. on articles relating to states, politics or governance) where "Ireland" should be preferred and the island should be referred to as the "island of Ireland" or similar. The is most definitely a goverence article. Cheers. Murry1975 (talk) 15:07, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello to the members of WikiProject Women writers! Victuallers and I have developed a proposal for a talk to be presented at Wikimania 2015. It's titled, How to pick up more women -- as in more women editors and more women's biographies. The proposal review process has begun and there's no guarantee that this proposal will be accepted. That's where you come in. Please review our proposal and give us feedback. Ultimately, we hope you add your name to the signup at the bottom of the proposal which signifies you're interested in the talk (it does not signify you'll be attending the event). Thank you!

Offering of some prose for the 'Pike Theatre' article.

Dear friend;
Thank you very much for creating the article on the Pike Theatre two days ago. I had included a red-inked entry for it in the List of Irish theatres and theatre companies on 6 May, as part of my current project to improve the article on Andy Irvine, who had performed there as an actor in the early 1960s; I was in the process of expanding the article with details on his prior career as an actor, and had noticed that the Pike was missing from the list, so I added it in red ink.
I am now wondering whether you might be interested in the following prose about what Irvine had to say about The Pike, extracted from Leagues O'Toole's book The Humours of Planxty:

The acting world, in which Andy was still professionally involved, soon paled in comparison to the potential depth of expression, not to mention social fun activities, that music offered. So, as music began to take precedence, he got the last of his acting impulses out of his system. 'I played in The Olympia, The Gate, The Eblana and The Pike Theatre, which was a tiny little forty-nine-seater. The Pike had closed after the debacle of a production of The Rose Tattoo, the Tennessee Williams play, which was deemed a little bit outrageous for Dublin in 1957. The show was closed and the theatre with it, and it had been 'dark' until these three girls took it over, one of whom was Deirdre McCartan, who later became Ronnie Drew's wife. The first show they put on was two one-act plays, one of which was The Zoo Story by Edward Albee. It lasted about forty-five minutes, but there were only two actors in it, and about fifteen pages of speech for me! Anyway, it went quite well.

—Leagues O'Toole, The Humours of Planxty.

Although Irvine doesn't give precise dates about the above play, it is well documented that he moved to Dublin "in 1962" and that his last performance as an actor was in Sir Buccaneer at the Olympia Theatre, on 28 September 1964.

If this is of any interest to you, then please feel free to use as much or as little of it as you wish, and thank you once again for taking the initiative of adding the Pike Theatre to our encyclopaedia!

With kind regards; Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(guestbook)} 13:21, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Seoirse Clancy.

Dear Hohenloh, Seoirse Clancy was born George Clancy; while at college he decided to devote himself to the Irish language and to Irish nationalism and asked that he be referred to as Seoirse Mac Fhlannchadha - the deanglicised form of George Clancy as he saw it, however as sometimes happened in such cases [e.g. Pádraig Pearse] he came to be known as a composite of those names: Seoirse Clancy. It is under this name that he was and is predominantly known. As such, this is why I changed the wiki article - to improve, correct, and make it more relevant.

Furthermore, one of the only two linked articles refers to him as Seoirse Clancy, the school that is named after him is called Gaelscoil Sheoirse Clancy when they could have called it 'Gaelscoil Sheoirse Mhic Fhlannchadha' or 'Gaelscoil George Clancy', and his family refer to him as Seoirse. All of the following articles referring to him as Seoirse come from The Grannary Library, Limerick - one of the main resources for information on him. The articles referring to him as George in the Limerick Chronicle during his lifetime and shortly after his death are not surprising considering the stance a then Unionist paper would take concerning names during that period.

http://www.limerickcity.ie/media/clancy,%20george%2005.pdf http://www.limerickcity.ie/media/clancy,%20george%2004.pdf http://www.limerickcity.ie/media/clancy,%20george%2002.pdf

See my reply on your Talk page. Hohenloh ⁺ 10:41, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks - John.

Seoirse Clancy.

The issue has never arisen because less than thirty people have the article on their watchlist. Few historians have addressed the issue, as in the same way few historians have gone into extended debate about Pádraig Pearse/Pádraic Pearse//Pádraig Mac Piarais/Pádraic Mac Piarais/Patrick Pearse.

Seoirse Clancy is and was predominantly known as such. He was born George Clancy, wished to be known as Seoirse Mac Fhlannchadha, and became known as a composite of these - this includes by his family, the school named after him, numerous articles and general conversation. As for his other two names, he was referred to as George Clancy before he changed his name, by the then Unionist Limerick Chronicle, and by people and historians who didn't know him or only had a surface knowledge of him; he is known as Seoirse Mac Fhlannchadha in Irish publications, while speaking in Irish, on the strand named after him [Trá Mhic Fhlannchadha], and on his gravestone.

The Manual of Style for Irish related articles clearly endorses this.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Ireland-related articles. Naming people. If someone used the Irish version of his or her name use that version when naming the article if it enjoys widespread usage among English speakers. An Irish version of a person's English-language name may be given in the first sentence of the lead of an article on that person if it is a well-known, commonly used name for that person.

RE: Ó hÍceadha

Well, Antony Hickey's article states he was: "... [B]orn at the Barony of Islands, County Clare, Ireland, Ó hÍceadha was a member of a bardic family." (BTW:time to start a second archive, I'd say, getting hard to navigate the sheer length). Yours, Quis separabit? 23:36, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Naw, I wouldn't accept that unsourced claim - as you kindly pointed out, the article is devoid of citations. I visited the Hickey heartland (Clare) a few months ago for a bit of family research and did not come across any associations with bards. We'll see...Hohenloh ⁺ 00:05, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Italian Wikipedia article - translation/proofreading request :)

Hi,

I'm trying to improve our article on the Vajont dam disaster in Italy. Not surprisingly the Italian Wikipedia article is better than ours. I've done a rough machine translation including cites but it's not great. I need help not to introduce errors into the expanded article. Any chance of help with proofreading and correcting the rough translation?

• Original article
• Rough English translation

Thank you! FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 07:21, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

It's a fairly long article and due to its technical subject-matter not exactly my cup of tea, but I've added it to my to-do list and will proof-read it and check citations and translation issues over the next few days. Hope this helps. Hohenloh ⁺ 10:57, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks - that's really appreciated. To keep it even simpler, I can do 95% of the English fixing myself. What I'm looking for are places where the translation or titles in cites really is hard to "get right" without good knowledge of Italian - where the actual sense of the English is wrong, not just "poor quality English" or usual bad grammar. (I need to be sure I understand what it is trying to say, but the quality of English beyond that isn't important)

To take an example, "invaso" was being translated as "invasion". Clearly wrong. It should mean something like "flooded" or "filled". But in some places it's not clear which is the right word, or the subject of the verb (third filling test of the reservoir, or third flooding test of the ground for stability?). There are probably quite a few like that.

Thanks hugely for this - it's very appreciated, more so for your helpfulness and the reasons in your reply! FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 19:20, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Was he "Irish" or "British" or do we need to define his nationality in some other way?

Brian O'Nolan / further reading

I am aware that Brain O'Nolan contributed to both magazines. However, references to them are misplaced in the section "Further reading", which lists biographies, studies etc. about the man and his works.

Dajos Béla

Hi, Hohenloh. Do you happen to know the ISBN for the 2003 edition of "Deutsche Biographische Enzyklopädie" being cited? I've searched around German catalogues/databases, but can only find references to the 2005 publication. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

I think the year is wrong, and it should be 2006. If this is the case, the isbn is 3110946548, 9783110946543 . I was working via the German-language Wikipedia at the time, might have mixed up the date...

Aha, yes, that explains why I was coming up with "R" surnames when the cite was placed here in reference to Franz Grothe on page 191. I've found the entry for him here. I suspect that further information is probably to be found in other volumes, as this is Volume 4 only covering Görres to Hittorp.

For the moment, I'll add it where you've placed it at the end of the paragraph, with a ref with the page number next to Grothe. It's a bit of a sneaky way around it, but it allows time for finding other volumes of the encyclopaedia and other refs to back up the text. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Nelson's Pillar

Not sure if you are still interested in the article, but I was rummaging around some old links to Nelson's Pillar and came across a user talk page discussion you took part in here back in 2008.

Bram Stoker

Hi! In 2008 you wrote that Bram Stoker was a distant relative of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Do you have any idea what source you had for that fact? I have tried to find proof for it, but I haven't had any success. I have checked with some Conan Doyle experts, but no one seems to know anything about it. Best regards, Mattias Boström — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.252.180.150 (talk) 14:24, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that I got the information that they were distantly related from an online biography of Stoker, though I was also researching Conan Doyle at that time and also read several biographies of him - both of them were of Irish descent on both sides. However, I no longer have any notes from that date so I can't check this. It might be best to insert a tag ("citation needed") into the article in relation to this point or/and bring it up on the Talk page. If no-one responds then simply delete it. I was fairly new to Wikipedia in 2008 and probably didn't realize the importance of citations! Hohenloh ⁺ 15:23, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

Can you help verify translations of articles from German

Hello Hohenloh,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from German to English Wikipedia?

File:Language icon.svg

This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original German article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including German , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from German. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

1. Markus Dürager
2. Matthias Berking

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the German article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.

If you can help, please {{ping}} me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 06:57, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Hohenloh, thanks for the message. Didn't know you were native Dutch speaker, as I didn't see it in your userboxes, but we need people who can speak Dutch even more than we do German. Can I send you a couple of English articles translated from Dutch to evaluate? Oh, and by the way, I will very occasionally translate a simple Dutch article myself. Ganzepoot is one of mine, and even though it's not part of this project that I'm looking for translators for, it would be nice to have a Dutch speaker take a look at the translation. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 17:59, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Mathglot - you are mixing me up with someone else (called Paul). I don't speak Dutch, I speak German. Cheers, Hohenloh ⁺ 20:52, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Oh, crap; I apologize; I see now what happened: they replied in your section—I don't know why they did that— and your sig is bolded and easy to see, and theirs isn't so I just assumed it was you. Sorry about that. Argh, that's embarrassing. Well, thanks for clearing that up. We still do have more German articles to look at, if you'd like some more. Mathglot (talk) 08:44, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

No problem, just forward the details. Hohenloh ⁺ 12:21, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

dabred

did you read through the dabred article before reverting ? the first paragraph ... what links here ...
did you even start to try? Dave Rave (talk) 07:19, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but if you haven't understood this by now, I'm not the one to teach you. Regards Hohenloh ⁺ 17:36, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Translation request

Hi, I saw your name here as a translator from Italian to English. Sorry to impose, but would you be prepared to translate this short (3 paragraph) album review from Italian to English? I've tried using machine translators, like Google Translate, but I can't make sense of the result. I want to use the English translation to expand Angels on the Edge of Time. This is not urgent, but if you're able to help, that would be great! Thanks. —Bruce1ee^talk 12:50, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
