Hello

Sophie Moss

thank you very much for explaining. We are her family and would like to communicate with you about her many years in Ireland and their significance. How do we do this?. (Hjwb500 (talk) 13:52, 15 August 2010 (UTC))

I am curious to know what led you to create the Sophie Moss page and how was this possibility flagged up to you? (Hjwb500 (talk) 15:32, 8 August 2010 (UTC))

I'm interested in biographies of foreigners who lived in Ireland. I read somewhere that she had lived here, and I wanted to find out more about her and where she had lived, so I looked her up on Misplaced Pages but there was no article on her, only on her ex-husband. I thought she was deserving of an article of her own, and I hope to expand the article when I find out more about her and/or her family. Hohenloh 17:53, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I have seen your name on articles that you have started or edited, and that I have also edited or created. It would appear we may have similar interests perhaps. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and if you have any tips for me or any articles that you need a hand with. --DubhEire (talk) 17:54, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, many thanks! I saw your name too, and I'd first like to ask you where you get the co-ordinates from. I use Earthtools.org, but it seems to provide only the decimal format, not the minutes and seconds of an arc that I'd prefer. At the moment I'm creating articles for the following:

• Each of the Dublin city civil parishes (about 13 out of 19 or so done so far - each article to contain sections on the church, cemetery, parish and notable parishioners)
• Each of the Dublin Liberties (5 done, the others are of minor importance). Also need to create a category for the Dublin Liberties.
• Each of the Dublin hospitals of the 19th century (about 6 left to do) and the prominent doctors and surgeons in these
• Re-writing The Liberties article, which was in a really bad state, but I wanted to complete the individual Liberties articles first to ensure I had references, background material, etc.

If you're interested, I could send you a list of the articles I've created (106 so far) or just the Dublin ones. Regards, Hohenloh 18:57, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I get the coords using Google Maps by right clicking on where you want for coords for and then select What's here?. I then check them with the other map providers before I commit, i.e. bing and yahoo. Earthtools.org is using google maps, but it is rounding to 4 decimal places, which I have seen as being what should be put on the article as excessive decimal places, etc. Google gives you 6 decimals, for example The Spire in Dublin's city centre is 53.349802,-6.26026 using What's here. You may know that you need to take the absolute values of the coords, so -6.26026 is 6.26026 and put that in for the coords in the article. If you want minutes and seconds, you can convert in Excel with a few simple steps. So using 6.26026, you have 6 as the degrees, then .26026 * 60 = 15.6156 or 15 minutes, then .6156 * 60 = 36.936 or 36 seconds. This makes 6.26026 equal to 6°15′36″. There is some precision lost on the locating this point back to the map where the Spire is a good example of this. So you could say 36.9 seconds and that will look good. I hope that is helpful.

Perhaps you could list your articles that you are intersted in on your user page, along with those that you have created. I have seen people do that and it can be interesting. I think I will do that myself.

As regards churches and hospitals, I am interested in those too, but it is lower on my list at the moment. I am interested in things local to me along the South East of Dublin. I have been out taking pictures and will be hitting the city centre shortly.

If there is anything else I can help with, please let me know and if you are stuck for a photo for your articles, I can try too.

DubhEire (talk) 21:27, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

A quick question for either or both of you. Is there any tutorial that would cover the info above re using co-ordinates? There are many occasions when I would have liked to apply them to various articles, but seem to get tied up in knots. Or is it just something that geotaggers and other regular users of GPS info. have from outside Misplaced Pages? I have also started to take photos with the intention of uploading to Commons and applying to articles. All seems a bit daunting. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 21:55, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I found this tutorial useful WikiProject Geographical coordinates. I should say that I found Bing Bird's Eye view a good check, but their Bird's Eye pictures mapped to coord is off in quite a few places, but it is good for reference points to be sure you have dropped the point right. I just put the coords at the end of the article or in the infobox if it is there. I use this at the end of the article coord|53.349802|N|6.26026|W|type:landmark_region:IE|display=title enclosed in double curly brackets {} . You can change display=title to display=inline if you want to show other points in the article, i.e. other buildings in a large complex or battle sites or something like that.

Then go to this list for articles that need tagging Ireland articles missing geocoordinate data

I'm sure in due time an agreed format will be made and a bot will come along a format the coords in decimals or degrees, mins, secs.

Also, there is a discussion to be had about coords for articles where the actual building doesn't exist anymore and something else is there. These coords make the articles appear in the Google Maps Misplaced Pages layer and also in some iPhone applications. The time lag to appear in those external databases appears to be in months, rather than overnight or weekly.

DubhEire (talk) 23:05, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

The WikiProject link was just what I was hoping for. Many thanks for reply. Lots to absorb and hope to soon be in a position to take up your suggestion of getting stuck in. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 23:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, very interesting, and as Rashers says lots to absorb. I've a few photos to put up of buildings, including churches, in the Liberties. Would like a photo of what's left of Church of St. Nicholas Within and St. Luke's Church, Dublin on the Coombe, also the Widow's House there and the portico of Coombe Hospital. I'll arrange a list of articles I'm working on on my user page, divided into geographic area and subject if possible, 'cos I do a lot of German and Italian stuff as well. Regards, Hohenloh 01:43, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I got most of those pictures today. I forgot about the Coombe, ah well. Hope that helps. DubhEire (talk) 23:36, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Good work! BTW, I've been using http://tools.freeside.sk/geolocator/geolocator.html for obtaining the coordinates and it works a charm! Hohenloh 23:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Adminship

After your comment on the whole orphan issue, I looked at some of your contributions, and I was impressed with your quiet dedication over the past few years, especially the coordinate missing edits, which I've helped with as well.

I think your input would be valuable on policy related discussions. Even though you and I may disagree on some of these, I've been very impressed by your approach, and hope you might think about commenting there. See you around. Shadowjams (talk) 08:29, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks. I've been concentrating on firstly finding my way round Misplaced Pages and then contributing to a number of projects that IMHO needed more input. I'd be happy to take a look at what you have in mind and would appreciate pointers. Regards, Hohenloh 19:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

WP Ireland in the Signpost

Hi Hohenloh. WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Ireland for a Signpost article to be published March 15. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? -Mabeenot (talk) 06:59, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, sure. What do I need to do? Hohenloh 18:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Here are the questions for the interview. Feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Also, if you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, feel free to share this with them. Thanks for participating in this WikiProject Report. -Mabeenot (talk) 20:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Music of Ireland

That's fine, I just inserted them because they added time-depth to the subject. Hopefully someone can come up with a practical use for them. Pre-17th century Irish music badly need investigation. Fergananim (talk) 15:29, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Agreed - good work. Hohenloh 15:31, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

St Audoen's

I put a link to St Audoen's Catholic Church, Dublin in the lead of St. Audoen's Church. Please feel free to move it if you see fit. Also someone requested that there should be a disambiguation page. Do you think that is required? I think we should look at naming all churches (at least Dublin) with a standard naming convention. There are a few subtle differences like St or St. or Saint for a start. DubhEire (talk) 14:43, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

I think I'd edit the intro - the juxteposition of two similarly-named churches might prove confusing for the general reader, and there is no indication there that St. Audoen's is Church of Ireland. I think a DAB page would be no harm - just a matter of what to call it. I'd welcome a naming convention, and would suggest some common information in the church articles, ie, which sections should be included. I've been concentrating on old churches, so historical information preponderates, perhaps to the detriment of other information. FWIW, these are the church articles I've created (in the English-language Misplaced Pages): St. Kevin's Church, Harrington Street, Dublin, Mariners' Church, Dún Laoghaire, St. Mary del Dam, St. Thomas's Church, Dublin]], St. Mark's Church, Dublin, Church of St. Nicholas Within, Church of St. Nicholas Without, Dublin, St. Luke's Church, Dublin, St. Michael's Church, Dublin, St. Andrew's Church, Andrew St., Dublin, St. Peter's Church, Aungier Street, Dublin, St. Bride's Church, Dublin, St. Andrew's Church, Westland Row, Dublin, Church of St. John the Evangelist, Dublin, St. George's Church, Dublin, St. James' Church and Cemetery, John's Lane Church, Drumcondra Church, St. Mary's Abbey, Dublin, St. Kevin's Church, Camden Row, Dublin, St. Catherine's Church, Dublin, St Werburgh's Church, Dublin, St. Audoen's Church. I'd welcome further ideas/suggestions on this and with this in mind will take a look at church articles in other countries. Hohenloh 16:49, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

That's a good list. I agree with your naming convention. I have come across a few Saint blah. I would prefer it to be "St." and you have named all of yours that way. I think the name of the church followed by where it is to be good, where being street or city is fine. I should rename any Saint something to "St." that I have been looking at. I don't see it as a problem considering the good job the move tool does. I am using Misplaced Pages Beta so I just found where the move button is. DubhEire (talk) 18:32, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Dun Laoghaire Oratory

Since you said that you would welcome suggestions for church articles. My I suggest the Dun Laoghaire Oratory. Bring a good camera with you. Its tiny Its magnificent ClemMcGann (talk) 08:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree it is an excellent little gem. DubhEire (talk) 14:00, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

and rarely open. I once heard that it was not in favour because it commemorated Irish soldiers in WWI. don't know if that's true, but hopefully we have matured since then ClemMcGann (talk) 14:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I see that it was built just after WWI in the grounds of the old Dominican Sisters and all the detail was pretty much done between 1920 and 1936 by Sister Mary Concepta Lynch who was a trained Celtic artist. I have yet to see visit but I am planning to do that soon as it would appear to be something that must be seen. DubhEire (talk) 12:51, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

An other Question about correct wording

I've an other question to a native speaker...

In the article Düsseldorfer Automobil- und Motorsport-Club 05 is the sentence:

The Düsseldorfer Automobil- und Motorsport-Club 05 e. V. (im ADAC) is the local club of the ADAC (German automobile club).

My Question:

This motor sport club is a small part of the big ADAC. Is the wording "...is THE local club..." correct, or is the wording "...is A local club..." better???? --Pitlane02 (talk) 18:26, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion, if there is only one local club in the area referred to, then THE is correct. If there is more than one club in the area referred to, then A is correct (or also, if you do not wish to refer to a specific area). Here we are dealing specifically with one club, and referencing the area of Düsseldorf, so I'd say THE. Hohenloh 18:40, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Perfect! In Düsseldorf are more than one motor sport clubs, organized in the ADAC, I've corrected the sentence. Thanks again. --Pitlane02 (talk) 06:23, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Lösung? Ich habe hab mir einfach mal eine andere Datei rausgesucht und dann das daraus abgeleitet, könntest Du mal querlesen? --Pitlane02 (talk) 09:35, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Discussion on my talk page

After I protected your user page, the IP editor who was persistently posting to your page wrote to me, and we have had a few exchanges. He actually *does* seem sorry for his earlier bad attitude. You might want to take a look at the discussion. FWIW, he still cannot post to your talk page, as his account (he has a username now) is still not autoconfirmed yet. Horologium (talk) 22:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

My apologies

OK, so that was a poor statement on my part, and truthfully, its not that big a deal even if you were associated with the tour, as long as your edits are npov and sourced. COI is a guideline, not a law. sorry for the insinuation, though, as it was founded on speculation. however, i cant remove it from the subject of the edit. i will put a small note on the talk page of the article. and i still have to ask why we have such detail in this article. are there reliable sources that show this tour is notable?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

No probs, and thanks for the reply. I don't know of any ghost bus tours in any city in Europe besides Dublin (but I'm willing to be corrected on this), which alone would make this tour unique, if not notable. But this tour is unique in that it visits and describes parts of Dublin that no other tour does, and all of these locations, as far as I know (and I am a historian and tour guide), can be verified in books, newspaper articles, etc. It is valuable in keeping local history alive, and is as notable as anything else in Dublin that tries to do the same thing. I'll try to get around to providing sources as time permits, but if you would like further info please don't hesitate to get in touch. 02:29, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. I've just read your profile and I understood that you're a learned person and an Irishman (I wish I can visit your wonderful country some time soon!), so can you understand what are a minorized language and culture and maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us...

We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Supporting us will be like giving equal opportunity to minorized languages and cultures in the future!

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Mary Black

You indicated in your edit summary that you undid my revision. That's just not true. You added completely new, properly referenced, information. Its a bit rich suggesting that somehow you're undoing something that I did. Fmph (talk) 00:33, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

User: Vaarlam

I notice you've been having some difficulties with Vaarlam on the Ginger Man article. I have as well, on the ER season articles, for largely the same reasons -- his refusal to discuss, and his persistent addition of unsourced and indiscriminate information to articles, then to become confrontational to abusive when reverted. I've begun to reach a point where I wonder if some sort of report is in order. Drmargi (talk) 05:46, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

I sympathize. There is a recommended process to follow when disputes arise, which I'm involved in right now. As recommended, I'll escalate on his talk page, and then see what ensues. If needs be, I'll go to ANI, and will mention your concerns then also. Please feel free to get in touch at any time. Hohenloh 06:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad to have a comrade in this. Please let me know if you decide to pursue ANI, and I'll support your evidence with my own. The incivility and refusal to abide by guidelines is getting out of hand, and from what I can see, not for the first time. Drmargi (talk) 08:06, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Populations

Hi HO, I think you may wish to revisit this revert. The sentence is clearly a bit 'over populated'. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 02:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Caubeen. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:MFIreland and edits to Hat and Caubeen

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Regards Lloydelliot10 (talk) 19:02, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I have requested page protection until everyone involved actually decides to use the articles talk page to discuss what appears to be an edit war over the articles content and direction. Until then can no more edits be made to the article? Mabuska 00:14, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

That's grand. I have not made any intervention for several days except just now, which was only to clean up the references. There is a history of disruptive edits by this editor on a number of articles dealing with Irish history over the past few few months, several of which were brought to the attention of ANI. It was characteristic that despite many requests by other editors, no attempt was made by this editor to explain things on the talk pages. The editor was blocked for sock-puppetry and the articles eventually tidied up by members of the Military History project. Hohenloh 00:28, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. The article has now been locked for a week anyways. Lets hope we can discuss the whole thing properly now. :-) Mabuska 11:07, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Caubeen

Hi, i have got the Caubeen article locked until we can sort the article out to prevent MFIreland's continual PoV edit-warring over it. As a contribuator to the article i would like your participation in the articles talk page on improving the article. Mabuska 22:36, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, will do so as soon as I get the time to review it. Ta, Hohenloh 02:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

dead link handling

Hi, rather than just deleting dead links, please see Repairing a dead link for ways to find moved links, Mitigating a dead link regarding substitutions, and Keeping dead links for reasons to mark and retain dead links. Thanks, Rostz (talk) 17:20, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I'm aware of that, and in most cases research and replace the links if possible, but I don't always have the time! Hohenloh 05:03, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok, but if you don't have time to fix them, please mark them rather than removing them so others can fix them, per Keeping dead links. Thanks, Rostz (talk) 14:15, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Removal of maintenance templates

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from List of Irish ballads. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Old-coombe-hospital-dublin.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Old-coombe-hospital-dublin.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:07, 2 March 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:07, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

File move request

Hello Hohenloh, before granting you a filemover permission, I would like to see you using commons effectively. Many of your files uploaded could have gone to commons. One of the issues a filemover has to consider is the name clash between commons and Misplaced Pages, so it would be good if you can show awareness of how commons works. For non free files you have to take extra care if you move them, so it is good if you have done something with them. However at least you know how to use upload and move! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:41, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi I am still not clear if you have a commons account or not. If you do can you say what the name is? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:38, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I have had a Commons account since last year. Gallery of my files is at
