Please do not remove the trivia section. Yes, it currently has only one entry under it, but The Princess Bride is a very well known movie (at least in the US), and the Cliffs of Insanity are very famous cliffs in the movie. I did not know until I read this article (prior to the removal of the trivia section) that the Cliffs of Moher were the Cliffs of Insanity, and I was very glad to find this out. So, if you feel this particular piece of information would be better seated under a section other than "Trivia", feel free to move it and remove the (then empty) trivia section. However, please do not remove this information entirely again. The Wilschon 19:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
While the guidelines speak to the possible value of this section, we need to be careful that it doesn't grow out of control and get undue weight. In particular we need to be careful that "fleeting mentions" in pop culture don't expand this section too much. Any such mentions are generally symptomatic of (rather than contributory to) a subject's notability, and so best avoided. Also need to make sure proper refs are provided for any existing mentions. Guliolopez ( talk) 09:11, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
To say that the commercialization of the cliffs blends in naturally with the surroundings is utter garbage. The entire top of the cliffs overlaid with several meters wide concreted area, there are literally millions of tourists there and it really can't be called a beauty spot any more. there should be a large section on the current state of the cliffs, the commercialization, the atrocious access roads and the fact that anything natural is hard to spot through the concrete! 212.147.132.92 08:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I have tempered the worst of the offending text, but this article still has many issues under the WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:NPOV guidelines. As the anon above comments, the statements about the impact of the visitor centre (and the visitors) on the cliffs reads less like an encyclopaedic explanation and more like an advertisement. In fact, it has the appearance of representing the POV of the developers of operators. Without suggesting that the tourist facilities at the cliffs should be dealt with in either a purely "dry" fashion, or as part of some kind of "pros and cons" discursive debate, it CERTAINLY should deal with the facts without subjective terms like "spectacular", "impressive", "carefully-balanced approach", "meticulous planning", etc.
I've also tempered some of the use of "one can do" and "you can see" type language. Per WP:YOU this goes against the MOS. It is better (and easier) to say "visitors can", etc. I may come back to this article at some point and do a more complete review, but attention really needs to be paid to this kind of tourist board/guidebook style stuff.

Note that on the description of U2's No Line on the Horizon, it is asserted that the cover art was actually a photo of the Lake of Constance (Bodensee) rather than the Atlantic Ocean from the cliffs.

The "gallery" section in this article is growing too big. Per the relevant guidelines, images should be used to illustrate the text only, and extensive galleries of related images should be left to Commons. (That's what Commons is for). Unless there is a specific "exception" that I'm not seeing here (that would warrant a dozen+ slightly variant images of the same subject), then I'm going to remove the gallery entirely.

I visited the Cliffs of Moher many years ago and was told (or maybe I read it there) that the cliffs are the highest in Europe. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, it would be worth adding to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pharmagiles ( talk • contribs) 09:52, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

The Cliffs of Moher are actually closer to Liscannor than to Lahinch (as noted in the box). ICE77 ( talk) 03:26, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
The wiki on Liscannor claims area around(?) the Cliffs is listed (since 1988) as a Refuge for Fauna. Can someone who understands what that means decide if it merits inclusion here? Thanks! 207.155.85.22 ( talk) 13:54, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
The article contains this section:
As of 2022, the centre charges €10 per adult or €9 for students and seniors, when booked in advance online, with children under 12 admitted free. This covers parking, access to the visitor centre and Atlantic Edge exhibition, and a contribution towards conservation and safety at the cliffs.[15]
I have severe doubts about this. For an article about the cliffs, the entry fees seem utterly irrelevant. WP:NOTATOURISTGUIDE. The Banner talk 20:28, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
