Castletroy

Hi Polar ice. I used to be a student in castletroy myself - at UL - and lived there for a couple of years. Great that you intend to add to this article. There are a lot of interesting things in castletroy, from the university to the ancient Hurlers pub to that near forgotten Jewish graveyard off the dublin road. It would be great to have a few photos of the area and perhaps a bit of history too. Take a look at Caherdavin too. Good luck. Seabhcán 07:33, 20 May 2005 (UTC) (PS. Do you know about Wikipedia:Irish Wikipedians' notice board?)[reply]

Thanks Seabhcán for the info. I don't understand the importance of the Jewish graveyard, but I have a digital camera and might start taking a few photos soon. I would think that the place has developed a lot since you have last been in Castletroy. I have lived here for 4 years now and I have seen great change in that time. The addition of the Shopping centre, Cinema, Secondary School, Bypass road, ect... Polar ice 21:10, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006

[edit]

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 04:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Castletroy_College.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Castletroy_College.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. -- Carnildo 00:39, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of "Irish E-Sports"

[edit]

A page you created, Irish E-Sports, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a club or other organization, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for organizations in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Closedmouth (talk) 13:13, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That page was around for 12 months and there was no problem with it and then just randomly you feel that it fall under the Criteria for speedy deletion? Polar ice (talk) 18:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted as a repost; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University of Limerick Computer Society. NawlinWiki (talk) 00:08, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At least give me a chance to edit the page. PolarIce (talk) 01:11, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of University of Limerick Computer Society

[edit]

A tag has been placed on University of Limerick Computer Society requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 01:16, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lovely. A regular user using TW who probably hasn't read the article puts it up for speedy deletion. Don't you have anything better to do? Do people on wikipedia these days just like increasing their edit count? Do they realise that the majority of the quantity and quality content on wikipedia is contributed by new users or people what don't know how the system works and then you get you using TW deleting everything --- WP:WHACK! would probably be appropriate PolarIce (talk) 01:39, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
