Hello AndrewH and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Irish stuff

Hey, Andrew! Great to see another Irish Wikipedian joining the fray. I see you've already discovered the notice board. If you want to help out with some current Irish-related projects, Zoney is leading the assault on the town stubs. Basically, many Irish town articles are comprised of mere stubs, and we're trying to improve them. Also, there's the Irish COTW. Note I am not handing out jobs! This is just if you feel like it. If you've any questions, feel free to ask me or anyone. Thanks. JOHN COLLISON | (Ludraman) 16:44, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Barrys

Hi, I've just noticed that we've both got articles on Barry's Tea - mine is here Barry's Tea, and yours is here Barrys. Would you mind if yours became a redirect to mine? Just asking, 'cause I've got a bit more detail in mine.. AndrewH 16:07, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thats fine, fire ahead - anyways Barry's Tea is proably a more correct title - my concern when I named my article Barrys, instead of Barry's Tea was because I believe (I might be wrong though) that Barrys used to own the Bachaleors Beans company, and therefore was more than just a tea merchant... --CGorman 17:19, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

re: vfd

Yes, it is obvious vanity. There's mixed discussion on when to CSD and when to VFD. In this case, you are probably right, it should be CSD'ed because it is so obvious, however being an active contributor to VfD I tend to just tag it out of habit. :p Inter 12:43, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Note on this. Many others tend to tag obvious vanity for VfD instead of CSD'ing it. I suppose I'm more of an inclusionist, than deletionist (even though almost all my votes on VfD are deletions :>). This is no excuse in this case, as you are probably right. Cheers. Inter 12:48, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Ahuizote

Hola Andrew.

Creo que poner que substituir con hechos las elucubraciones que habia anteriormente en la pagina de Miguel Pro no es vandalismo. Si quieres pueder revisar tu mismo las fuentes. Tambien creo que es una mala idea poner como fuente un libro de un conocido amigo del regimen nazi, Lothar Groppe [[1]], quien habla de la liberacion de europa de las garras del nazismo como "Der völkerrechtswidrige und menschenverachtende Raub eines Viertels Deutschlands". Si tienes alguna inquietud, puedes escribirla aqui mismo. Agur!

Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006

Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 03:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Marlay Park

Seeing as you live close by Marlay Park and are an active Wikipedian, I would like to ask you to try to take a few new and better photos to augment the article I started a little while ago. Maybe a photo inside the house or of the kitchen garden or other distinctive features. Also a photo of one of the Marley street signs. Otherwise I shall have to wait until my next visit, who knows when. Reply here and I will see it. Cheers. ww2censor 18:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I've already uploaded two photos of Marlay Park : [2] and [3] - I'll try to get over there and take some more when the weather gets a bit better.

Thanks, I saw the rear house view but, sorry, think it is rather a wide a shot for the article but I have added the waterfall shot. anything recreational would be good too. I do look at the Irish weather to see what my son and his wife are dealing with and see that it is cold, windy, raining and cloudy; so what's new for Ireland. Whenever you get a chance to go out again on a sunny day (!) would be great. ww2censor 16:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kkrieger screenshot 02.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kkrieger screenshot 02.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Image:Old_Ben_2.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Old_Ben_2.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:Kkrieger screenshot 01.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kkrieger screenshot 01.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:21, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Sisters (Irish TV series) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sisters (Irish TV series), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:38, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Onel5969, I've added a number of citations from independent sources. Please let me know if there's anything further needed.

Thanks AndrewH (talk) 15:11, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, there's enough there now to pass GNG. I've moved it to mainspace. Nice job. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:48, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
