User:Denis Cavanagh

~ Welcome to my userpage ~ Today is Thursday, November 7, 2024 Communication My CZ talk page Click here The greatest outrage in recent history My name is Denis Cavanagh and I like contributing here when I'm at work. Who knows, when I'm back in College I might write the odd article here and there, but I wouldn't bank on it. I like seeing most of the red links here turn blue as Citizendium slowly develops :-) I joined here sometime in July, 2007, heartwarmed by an attempt to create an encyclopedia more reliable and frankly better than wikipedia. Although personally I do belive Wikipedia and the Citizendium can complement each other nicely - Wikipedia for pop culture and trivia, Citizendium for more academic persuits. I am in university in Dublin, Ireland, studying History. Articles I could really do with a hand in I have a right few articles running about the place, but these could do with help from somebody knowledgeable in the Field: Spanish Golden Age, Ulster Unionism, Arthur Griffith, Richard I, Anglo-Irish War, Blues The Course of Modern Irish History At some stage I would like to have these area's filled in (Some are already done) Its something of a personal project - an ambitious personal goal to reach within a long period of time - be it a year or ten years. Of course, others should create articles on these topics where they see fit :-) Ideas and organisations Ulster Unionism, Irish Nationalism, Irish Republicanism, Orange Order, Fianna Fáil, Fianna Gael, ITGWU, Irish Labour Party, Irish Green Party, Home Rule Party, Irish Parliamentary Party, Democratic Unionist Party, Killing Home Rule with Kindness, Catholic Emancipation Movement, The Irish Land War, Irish Rural Land Reform, The Irish Land League, The Protestant Ascendency, Ulster Unionist Party, Progressive Unionist Party, First Sinn Féin Party, Sinn Féin Party, Social Democratic and Labour Party, Irish Republican Brotherhood, Irish Republican Army, Provisional Irish Republican Army, Loyalist Volunteer Force, Ulster Volunteer Force, 32 County Sovereignty Movement, Real Irish Republican Army, Continuity Irish Republican Army, Dissident Irish Republicanism, Irish Volunteer Force, Irish Citizens Army, Irish Volunteers, National Volunteers, 1937 Constitution of Ireland Principal Characters Michael Collins, Éamon de Valera, Arthur Griffith, WB Yeats, Seán O Casey, James Joyce, Ian Paisley, Martin Mc Guinness, Gerry Adams, Joe Cahill, David Trimble, Charles Stewart Parnell, Robert Emmet, Theobold Wolfe Tone, Charlie Haughey, Bertie Ahern, Garett Fitzgerald, John Costello, WT Cosgrave, Michael Cusack, John Dillon, John Redmond, Padraig Pearse, Constance Markievicz, James Larkin, Michael Davitt, Daniel O Connell, James Connolly, William Gladstone, Edward Carson, James Craig Major Events 1798 Rebellion 1803 Rebellion The Irish Famine 1848 Young Ireland Rebellion Home Rule Easter Rising 1913 Lockout 1918 General Election, Ireland Anglo-Irish War Anglo-Irish Treaty Irish Civil War Irish Free State Economic War 1937 Constitution of Ireland Éire The Emergency Republic of Ireland Irish Troubles Sunningdale Agreement Ulster Working Council's General Strike Bloody Sunday Free Derry IRA Hunger Strikers 1994 Ceasefire Good Friday Agreement Devolution in Northern Ireland The Celtic Tiger This is extreme long term goals, but I'm just trying to frame my ideas into one place.
