The image in the template

Not sure what "burn all gifs" means, but the image was improved over the orignal. The topography one you suggested, Dab, sits in a big blue square and isn't transparent. The present one looks well next to the Northern Ireland template. Evertype 16:41, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

http://burnallgifs.org/archives/ was a fad when it looked like Unisys was going to try to enforce their patent on the GIF algorithm. It led (partially) the greater inclusion of PNGs as an alternative, but the new thing is to convert non-photographic images to SVG where appropriate. I think I can do that pretty easily for this GIF, if the project would find a scalable version more useful... -- nae'blis 18:00, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

If you like. The NI one is an SVG I think. Evertype 18:06, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Try this one, if you like:

It's a little darker, but I pulled the green from the official Flag of Ireland color. -- nae'blis 03:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

NIce, but the one we have is the same colour as the N.I. one, and they often appear on the same page. -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Volunteers

I'd like to help. I'm still a wiki novice, but I'm a competent writer and copyeditor. Dppowell 18:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome! Help however you'd like! -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Template

Should we more or les copy this? Template:WPNI Pauric 18:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Eeeek! No, heavens, no. See Talk:Ogham for more. -- Evertype·✆

Ah, gas. So... is Template:Irelandproj what Template:WPI should be? If so, why isn't it as such? If not... why isn't it as such? :P Pauric 18:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I guess it could be WPI, but Irelandproj is easier to remember. Or? I don't mind, but I wouldn't be interested in doing the cleanup after such a change. -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Manual of style

Is it intended that the project's style manual will differ significantly from Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles)? Dppowell 22:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

How so? -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

ICOTW

A template on the ICOTW page says it's inactive and only kept for historical interest, yet it's front and center on the WikiProject Ireland page. Should we remove the inactive tag? Dppowell 16:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Is ICOTW active? Or is it superceded in some way by WikiProject Ireland? -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Saint Patrick's Flag

I've added this to the Ireland project, as its sister article Flag of Scotland is listed in the Scotland project. A goal would be to get the articles of Saint Patrick's Flag and the Flag of Scotland to look somewhat similar in format. --Dulcimerist 02:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
