The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of townlands in County Laois until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. : pep per 17:17, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Advertisements for Myself first edition.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 09:06, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, there was a thread at the BLPN about this and the weight of discussion was that it did not belong attached to the radio station. please see the comment on the article talkpage. If he is notable create a BLP for him if not then the issue is not noteworthy as a section on the radio station article, he was not working at the time and it is a bit negative coatracking to add it there. There is a thread at the WP:BLPN for comments , thanks. Off2riorob ( talk) 11:58, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I see that you've edited quite a bit on Irish roads articles. There's a question at Talk:Kilkenny that you may be able to answer. I confess I still don't quite understand what's being queried. Thanks. RashersTierney ( talk) 13:46, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Cheers for the barnstar! You've given me the impetus to put the article forward as a GA. - Joe King ( talk) 23:33, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
Hi Odea,
You recently edited the "People's Park" article and changed "University" to "university." This may seem a small change, and I have no great stake in it myself, however I believe previous editors were correct to insist on "University," since capitalizing this word makes it clear that we are talking about the University of California as an official state entity. I wonder if you might consider changing it back. Thanks. Apostle12 ( talk) 22:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
The Wikipedia:Manual of Style#4 Abbreviations says that in British English, "no full stop is commonly preferred" for "Abbreviations formed by truncation (Hon. for Honorable), compression (cmte. for committee), or contraction (Dr. for Doctor". So one should have "St Patrick" not "St. Patrick". So you might use "St." as an abbreviation of "Street". Laurel Lodged 14:03, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for commenting at Flight Avia Flight 7100 re the table of victims. However, you signature is not in accordance with WP:SIG, which states that it must link to either your user page or user talk page at minimum. You signature links to File:Usher statue - closeup.jpg. How is a newbie editor going to reach you from there? It is hard enough for those of us who know our way around to find you. Your assistance in ensuring your signature complies with WP:SIG (I know it says it's a behavoural guidline, but it is de facto a policy) would be appreciated.

Three cheers for writing the South County Dublin article. Exiledone ( talk) 20:48, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
I see we have created duplicate page for Paul Óg Connaughton! One will have to redirect to the other. I have to point out that Jr is an Americanism, and that Jnr is what we use on side of the Atlantic, e.g. Brian Lenihan, Jnr. Snappy ( talk) 22:31, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Which part of "The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it." is unclear to you? Snappy ( talk) 22:53, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Remark: The comments in this section Comments by Snappy are part of a conversation which began at Snappy's talk page. Much of it was erased from that page but can be found in the talk page history. — O'Dea ( talk) 00:45, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi. Could you stop the slow-motion edit war please, and engage in constructive discussion. It takes you only a fraction of the time to make the necessary corrections to the image instead of trying to assert yourself. Gun Powder Ma ( talk) 12:58, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:St John of God Irish postage stamp 1979.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files 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. ww2censor ( talk) 06:37, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion, guidelines for use at
WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 21:04, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

I just remembered your questions about not placing photo galleries in the biography articles of musicians (at least, biography articles-- my focus is on musicians). I have ADD and am not fond of looking things up on Wikipedia but here is a tag for pages that have such issues: [2] Specifically, there's a tag {{Cleanup-gallery}} Hopefully this helps answer your question. I seriously still can't recall where there's a specific mandate about photo or "image" galleries. I really would have liked doing so for the Rory Gallagher and other articles for Irish musicians. Pity. -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 14:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Keep your crappy grey boxes and stale place articles in that case. Some collaboration would have been nice as a constructive way forward and proposal how to improve the design of the current template not your "unremittingly negative" comment towards efforts to improve it. I was prepared to standardise all of the Irish village/town articles, find coordinates of the missing ones and improve article standards. Your attitude has prevented any form of progress.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Odea,
Plastikspork has agreed to implement the changes to the
Ireland placebox (see
here), altho Dr Blofeld has proposed it for deletion. I've told Plastikspork what changes we agreed on, but if I've forgotten something or you have other proposals you should add them to the discussion a.s.a.p.
Thanks.

Look again. It literally says "It is highly unlikely Bieber would be given permission to enter North Korea" below the uppermost picture.

Hello there O'Dea. I think I remember your off color stories about the saddle sniffers and the skydivers from last year. Now you're giddily quoting Joyce about heartburn on the arse, edit summaries about fingering and references to George Clinton along those lines. All of it is real cute, but I am removing your addition to the Talk:Illicit drug use in Ireland page. My suggestion, if you want to send Sarah a message, don't use live article talk space to drop your breadcrumbs or whatever you are doing. It is inappropriate, unfunny and unwise to take the path you're on. If you want, put a note on her talk page, but please keep your obtuse pursuits off of that illicit drugs discussion page, it is a serious subject and serious editors should not have to skip over your postings to utilize the talk space. I'm explaining this to Sarah, on her page. I hope you will do the right thing and just leave it for what it is intended. Ciao. Sswonk ( talk) 03:05, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
I've taken the liberty of removing the entire section. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 11:01, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Please move the page back. As an established page, such a move needs to be discussed and I don't think you're actually right, looking at some of the sources, the G tends to be capitalised. Thanks. Akerbeltz ( talk)
