Hi. Welcome to wikipedia. It is nice to see another Irish face.

Re your move of Des Connell's page. Wikipedia places all pages relating to cardinals on pages marked [[name Cardinal surname]]. That is because

  • many cardinals in mediaeval times have had their first names lost, so cardinal can be used in the search-engine;
  • many mediaeval cardinals used different cardinalate name to their own personal names. Their own personal names are generally unrecognised, but they are known as Cardinal x.

For both these reasons it was agreed that cardinals would always have their title used, rather than just a personal name, as personal names alone in the case of cardinals were found to be unworkable. In applying this, it was realised that

  • all cardinals before 1965 were known by [[name Cardinal surname]], not the more modern (but technically wrong) [[Cardinal name surname]] form. Rather than rename thousands of pre-1965 cardinals to a form only used for 100s after 1965, it was decided to put them all in in the traditional form, which also happens to be the official form still used by the Vatican.

If you have moved any others from the agreed name format, please revert them to the form agreed and used by the rest of the wikipedia community. You'll find general guidelines on the naming rules used on the pages Meelar highlighted above. Slán FearÉIREANN 03:29, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006

[edit]

Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 03:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Leo.varadkar.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Leo.varadkar.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.
