anniversary memorial

there was 1. no real citation (the only one simple said Irish Times and no other article title or link) 2. the grammar was poor. For a large section something ought to be run through here so edits can gain consensus. However, it would still be fair with a valid source where edits can be copy-edited. Lihaas (talk) 22:13, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

The valid source is The Irish Times. The whole of page 7 in the 16/17 August 2008 edition is devoted to the Anniversary. As for the grammar, just re-read your comment above. You have used lower case when you should have used capitals. And the wording, "the only one simple said" is hardly good grammar. Millbanks (talk) 13:01, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
