Requested tasksIf you just drtopped in and are willling to help, please start with one of these tasks:
Current stateThis document can be thought of as a “to do list” for WP:IMAR. In general, Misplaced Pages's collection of articles relating to Ireland are not, in terms of quality and quantity, as good as the articles for other Anglophobe countries. Within that Irish Maritime articles are not as good as other Irish articles. This means that there is work to be done. For the over-all quality of articles on Misplaced Pages, look at WP:GA and read:
We are indebted to many non-Irish editors for their work on Irish articles. Many of these articles would benefit from a review by Irish editors. Many, indeed most, Irish Mariners served under foreign flags. In general, editors from those nations have authored biographical articles. Of the Irish who left and became notable abroad. Those in English speaking countries usually have Misplaced Pages articles. Those who went to France have articles which are translations from the French Misplaced Pages. There are similar German and Italian articles. This tends not to be the case for Spanish articles. There are Irish who are now famous in South America but no article, or a rather poor article in Misplaced Pages. Then there is the question of emphasis. Some aspects of a biography, or any article, can be more important to a non-Irish editor than to an Irish editor. Examples of the current state(although this changes as work is done. Should we call this "examples of a previous state"? The most important and significant thing in Dublin port is the Bull Wall. It is quite a story. The man behind it had quite a career as an employee of the Ballast Office – now the Dublin Port and Docks Board. He also had involvement in building the Military Road (R115) through the Wicklow Mountains to root out Fiach McHugh O'Byrne. Earlier in his life there was a minor incident, he was captain of HMS Bounty, but there were no marines aboard and the crew mutinied. But the Misplaced Pages article only has two lines, less than 1% on his Marine engineering accomplishments. Our fellow editors in the UK are far more interested in the mutiny. Consider Irish people important to foreign navies:
And let us not forget those in the RN – almost all have articles, but they were written by Misplaced Pages editors in the UK. _(7).jpg) in Dún Laoghaire, there is this monument to Capt Boyd. There is no Misplaced Pages article of him, The List of disasters in Great Britain and Ireland by death toll has the entry for Pomona (ship), a shipwreck: 400 died on 30 April 1859. She was carrying mainly Irish emigrants to New York but sank off Wexford. Other incidents of that magnitude on that list have full articles Articles on Media: There is an article for The Irish Skipper but none for its competitors No article for the Marine Times (Ireland) nor Afloat nor Inshore Ireland. There is an article for Seascapes broadcast on RTE radio, but not for its competitor Island Nation broadcast on the community radio stations. There are no articles for many government departments dealing with the sea; nor for other organisations:
There are lots of fairly straight-forward articles needed: such as a History of the Irish Naval Service then there are harbour companies - other than Dublin & Cork
World War One: The US Navy stationed in Cobh, Cork played a significant role in preventing U-boats wrecking the havoc that was seen in the Atlantic in WW2 All those American sailors had a social effect. John Borgonovo published Exercising a Close Vigilance Over Their Daughters: Cork Women, American Sailors, and the Catholic Vigilantes of 1917-1918. Shipping Companies Ships Life Saving
ArticlesWP:imar pages by 'ireland' we mean the island RoI plus NI we need to be clear why an article lies in our ambit the tricky areas are ships and people ships: irish owned, operated, built, sunk in our waters, irish captain, served a regular route to/from Ireland people: state the connection, 'wild geese' are included (people of irish descent)
