== Ireland ==
Beir Bua agus Beannacht, Anton! Pop in for a wee dram if you ever find yourself near Sauchiehall Street! [[User:W. Frank|W. Frank]] 19:57, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
:PS: I believe that `The term Republic of Ireland is "the description of the State"' is no longer accurate due to recent constitutional amendments... [[User:W. Frank|W. Frank]] 20:09, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
==May 22 still ==
Apologies. I have become over-sensitive to criticism (most especially guised as "trivial questions") and by the time I went back to erase my inappropriate reply to your perfectly reasonable and nice question, you had already seen it, and answered. I'm a bit red-faced, I assure you. Let me give it another try: Generally, edit summaries are only filled out as an indication for why a change has been made. Although that's imnportant when working on the wiki, in the approvals notice board today I kept making dumb mistakes in formatting and spacing and the like, and so never put anything in the summary. I'm a little off my game today (can't you tell?:-) - I never noticed that font business. Probably it's there because that's the title of the section- May 22, and the other stuff just makes it look red to make the section stand out. Like here- if I don't put anything in edit summary when I save the page it will probably come out "May 22 still". I think Citzendium is great, too- and unfortunately, I've become a great big crank. Need a break, and sorry to take it out on you. [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 12:21, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
== Dublin ==
No problem :) While doing some work for [[CZ:Statistics]] I see some pages that need a minor cleanup. BTW, much more complicated cases exist ;-) --[[User:Aleksander Stos|Aleksander Stos]] 06:45, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
== Alcohol ==
Thanks, I didn't know about the suggestion place at that time :-). I can't legally drink either. [[User:Yi Zhe Wu|Yi Zhe Wu]] 15:49, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
==Hi==
Thanks! Enjoyed the Ireland article by the way. Former Trinnerhead I see? Nice stuff. [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 09:05, 24 July 2007 (CDT)
==Your drinks are served==
Hi Anton, I thought your suggestion seemed a fair challenge. [[Beer]] is served. Cheers! --[[User:Ian Johnson|Ian Johnson]] 12:22, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
:: You're most welcome. And of course, we all know ''A is for [[ABBA]]''. Top of the evening to you! --[[User:Ian Johnson|Ian Johnson]] 14:21, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
== August 29 ==
Have a look at your user page, the date of becoming constable  ;-) [[User:Aleksander Stos|Aleksander Stos]] 11:40, 2 August 2007 (CDT)
:Oops!  No time-travelling for me... [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 11:59, 2 August 2007 (CDT)
== Irish related articles ==
Oh, very good. To be honest I put no work towards [[Kingdom of Oriel]] and liked the wikipedia version, so I left it as it was. If I come across anything relevant such as that I will add it to the 'see also' section. :) [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 09:33, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
Oh, thanks! I'll move towards it soon, sometime before the end of the week anyway. I'm looky enough to have had a grandfather obsessed with this kind of stuff and so have a lot of obscure sources locking in our attic somewhere. It'll be kinda fun to add on to it! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 09:56, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
== Four Courts Image ==
It seems kind of dark on my LCD so I'm going to see what I can do to enhance it, if you don't mind. --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 11:39, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
[[Image:Four_Courts.jpg|thumb|left|100px]][[Image:Four_Courts_colorfixed.jpg|left|thumb|100px]]
Let me know what you think.  I think I got the licensing correct.--[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 12:01, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
:The new version looks much better - replaced the image on [[Dublin]] with the new one. Thanks again. [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 05:47, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
== Easter Rising ==
He Anton, was wondering if you could anything to the [[Easter Rising]] article? I was going to write something about De Valera but I'm afraid it will be horribly biased against him if I do. Turns out that I'm a committed Collins-ite! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 05:21, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
:I can certainly have a look at it over the weekend, though I'd be in the same camp as yourself :P  Ideally, I think, we'd have a short paragraph on all the main leaders (with full articles to follow).  Just one thing - you might want to cast your eye over [[CZ:Article Mechanics]], which is the Citizendium style guide.  Good work, though, its a nicely balanced article.  [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 05:52, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. I think seven of them have their own little article - I'm hoping to do a Pearse main article at some stage. [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 05:55, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
==Workgroups==
I adfd a few comments here,[[User talk:Anton Sweeney/Sandbox/Workgroups]]. Not much but a start. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] [[User talk:Chris Day|(talk)]] 09:51, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
==fada==
How do you do those fada's on Eamon? [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 11:25, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
:On Windows XP, hold the 'Alt Gr' key (the one to the immediate right of the spacebar) down while typing the vowel you want the fada to appear over.  Capitals with a fada are a pain: Shift + AltGr + vowel :P [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 11:36, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
