Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Northern Ireland:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

AONBs

Is there any indication that the AONBs in NI are changing their name to "National Landscape", as in England and Wales? Sources differ. If you know anything, please join in the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject UK geography#AONBs are no more. Thanks. PamD 13:23, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Generating Irish names for NI railway stations

Following a dispute at Belfast Grand Central station and their admission on my talk, @RooneyDonal21 has argued that Irish names should be generated for Northern Ireland railway stations after Irish was granted official status (excluding Ulster-Scots). I raise this as it could be interpreted as WP:OR as AFAIAA, Translink do not have Irish on their signs (yet)? Unless they have plans to do so? Plus WP:NCUKSTATIONS does mention focusing on the name on station signs if no sources are found or contradictory, but these generated translations appear on neither? (prove me wrong if incorrect) So should they stay? Mainly concerned over potential OR, but if there is consensus for the sake of Gaeilge, then that's fine.

No Irish names, or any other language names, should be "generated". Irish names must be A) sourced and B) proven to be in use. Just having a name used in an Irish language newspaper, for instance, does not indicate use. The would need to find use in some kind of official capacity. Until such time as Irish translations are officially published and sourced they should not be used. We're not here to publish something someone made up one day, which is exactly what a generated or translated name is, which is WP:OR. I'm sure the Irish names will come officially in due time, but until then we should not be making any up. People have been historically blocked for making up Irish names and inserting them into articles, it's disruptive editing. Canterbury Tail talk 18:39, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
