A photo section added, and some really good photos of Limerick City too, I am looking to incorporate many of these photos into the article better. Also looking for a photo of the Art College and Mary I to add to the education section. -- Lukemcurley ( talk) 12:43, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Per IMOS, the second mention of Ireland need not use the pipe (e.g. Ireland) nor should it use it unpiped (e.g. Republic of Ireland). It is permitted / recommended to use "Ireland". Editor Murry's use of "Ireland" in his edits is therefore correct in my opinion. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 09:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
I think this article shall be better placed at Limerick (city) than at Limerick. In my opinion the type of poetry is more widely known and Limerick must redirect to Limerick(poetry) with a hatnote. Any thoughts on this? TheOriginalSoni ( talk) 07:28, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
There have been multiple proposals of a move with varying levels of officiality over the years, as I noticed--however, not once has there ever been established a consensus to keep a city with less than 100,000 people in the metro area as the primary topic, when other very significant meanings exist. Without a doubt, people looking for Limerick (poetry) would type in Limerick... and I daresay there's no primary topic whatsoever for this title. An RM could be used to determine this? Red Slash 18:21, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
I have started a discussion on the deletion of the Stab City redirect to this page on the grounds that it is an inflammatory redirect, The discussion can be found at the link [1] Squidlimerick ( talk) 12:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Today I noticed someone had slipped a reference in for this. I have deleted the reference which discussions years ago agreed would be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irishpat77 ( talk • contribs) 21:14, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
The Stab city redirect was created again; I've nominated it for speedy deletion on the grounds that this was already discussed and deleted back in 2008. Other discussions happened here Talk:Limerick/Archive_1#Stab_City. -- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 21:36, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was not moved, although it's really borderline no consensus territory. Either way, nothing's moving. -- BDD ( talk) 22:54, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
– No primary topic. City in Ireland of roughly 50k residents (~100k in metro area), the county that it is a part of, a couple of well-known poetic and musical terms, various smaller cities, a style of knitting lace, etc., all combine to make it clear to me that we have absolutely no primary topic. According to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC to avoid having Limerick be a disambiguation page, the city would either have to be far more likely to be searched for as this name than other topics (dubious, as both the poem and the city are significant topics) or one would have to have a substantially greater long-term significance, which seems unlikely to me (the form of poetry has been around 120+ years, and the city for far longer; none of the main meanings are transitory or anywhere near insignificant). Obviously, most if not all other uses are named after the city, but nowhere in any policy or guideline that I am aware of does that mean the Irish city must (or should) be the primary topic. Relisted. Favonian ( talk) 22:32, 27 April 2013 (UTC). Red Slash 20:53, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
On top of that, we have the page view stats I outlined in my Support post below, which also clearly show that the city is not the primary use, despite it occupying the base name title.
As to long-term significance, it's not that strong of a case, and that's really only a tie-breaker in cases where the usage case is borderline. -- B2 C 19:59, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Limerick (poetry) has been viewed 92,540 times in the last 90 days.
Limerick (city) has been viewed 61,468 times in the last 90 days.
Clearly the city is more important, so it deserves the Limerick title. Thank you Irish jingoists. Th4n3r ( talk) 17:26, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Does the Limerick Feud warrant a separate section? It is mentioned in the Culture section in passing - completely without explanation. TheWarOfArt ( talk) 22:13, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Disappointed to have my Cycling addition removed (twice) as “blatant promo and advertising”. Other community bicycle programs appear in Wikipedia, some even have their own pages (see Vélib', dublinbikes and Barclays Cycle Hire, there is even a Category:Community bicycle programs. Life is too short to try a third time, anyone feel like editing the following in a way that permits this noteworthy addition to the cityscape be mentioned?
My latest edit read:
In December 2014 a public bicycle rental scheme was launched in central Limerick. Initially 23 locations will be provided with 215 bicycles. the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, the National Transport Authority and the city of Limerick have awarded the contract to Rothar Nua. Coca Cola Ireland will invest in the scheme and in return it will be branded “Coca Cola Zero Bikes”. references I included

Thanks for your attempt to highlight the bike share scheme, disappointed that there was no discussion before deleting the original article and a subsequent attempt to include the public bicycle rental scheme on the Limerick page (as has an attempt on the Galway page) I would propose adding an article based on the section on the "Cork (city)" page as, despite an editor categorising the scheme as advertising, I believe that the scheme is noteworthy and advertising is not the schemes reason for being. The scheme has had a lot of public money spent on it and is not set up to provide a revenue flow to the (admittedly unpopular to some) sponsor. Many other public bicycle rental schemes are included in Wikipedia, with several having their own pages, including some with the sponsors name included in the title, the London scheme is sponsored by a bank (surely there can be no less popular classification of business). There is even a category “Community bicycle programs” on Wikipedia. What is the feeling out there in Wiki land? Is this worth including on the Limerick page? The text, with references, I would propose is as follows: “In 2014, a public bicycle rental scheme was launched. The scheme is operated by An Rothar Nua on behalf of the National Transport Authority, with funding supplemented by an advertising sponsor.

The info box on Limerick states that the population of the City is 95 854 persons according to the 2011 Census. When you look at the tables in the census, however,you find the number of 57 106 persons. 95 854 seems to be closer to the number of females in the entire county, incl. the City. Which number is correct for the population of Limerick City ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polle dublin ( talk • contribs) 12:11, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
