editWhere are the pictures?--SarekOfVulcan 21:23, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
picture is not the wicklow way
editthe picture at wicklow gap is not a picture of the wicklow way: the wicklow way doesn't go there, and the sign is different from the official wicklow way signs. this must be a place (and sign) on the st. kevin's way, crossing the wicklow mountains from glendalough to hollywood

- You are quite right. This is one of the St Kevin's Way signs at the Wicklow Gap. Have replaced with image of the J. B. Malone memorial at Lough Tay. - Joe King (talk) 00:02, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

- Second opinion, it looks like a great article to me. I can understand why you're unsure about the images, as you do not have experience in the area, but I can assure you that as Joe King mentions, they're all from Wikimedia Commons, and have been released under the right licenses to allow them to be used freely on the encyclopedia. The sourcing looks very good
and the only criticism I'd have is that the lead looks slightly excessive. It's only a minor criticism though. WormTT · (talk) 13:20, 6 August 2011 (UTC)- It's in line with the guidelines on length in WP:Lead which are 3-4 paragraphs for articles > 30,000 characters - Joe King (talk) 17:33, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
