Question

INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS North America - 1800's ?? Re: Jose Marti & meetings with International Republicans (including IRB & other European representatives). I was once told of a meeting held (apart from the 1st American Conference) of International Republicans in North America, at which Jose Marti, Irish Republicans and others met. Does anyone have any details ?

Republican Movement (Ireland)

Republican Movement (Ireland) is being considered for deletion for lack of content and sources. I have added some content and sources, and would be interested in people's opinion on whether it is now worth keeping. The discussion is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republican Movement (Ireland). Scolaire 22:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:IRA

I am removing (and nominating for deletion) the WP:IRA redirect to this page for a number of reasons:

• It is not an abbreviation of the wikiproject title.
• Having a wikiproject represented by the moniker for a paramilitary organisation is not conducive to harmonious editing. It has been used to promote an atmosphere of incivility and partisanship between conflicting groups of editors, that is entirely at odds with the spirit of the project. Moreover, it has political implications for the project that are counter to WP:NPOV
• WP:IR is perfectly sufficient.

That came about when someone wanted to create an Wikipedia:WikiProject Irish Republican Army this was rejected and the links to that where reverted to this project. The WP:IRA shortcut should have been deleted but must have been missed.--padraig 20:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, padraig. I does look like a simple good faith oversight (see here) if you wish to comment. Rockpocket 20:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I seen that and voted to delete the redirected links, which should have been done in the first place.--padraig 20:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

The archived talk pages seem to have disppeared, but as I recall there was some chortling among members about being able to use WP:IRA. Seems appropriate, seeing as the vast majority of the project's work seems to be about glorifying Provisional IRA members and attacks and removing anything that might show them in bad light. Rather than past republicanism and nationalism and current constitutional republicanism and nationalism. Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 20:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Here is where the idea was first suggested [1].--padraig 20:37, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Irish hunger strike featured article candidate

While I'm (briefly!) back, 1981 Irish hunger strike is a current Featured Article Candidate, the discussion is at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/1981 Irish hunger strike. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

John Kelly expanded

I've added to John_Kelly_(Sinn_Féin_politician), a bit surprised at how little you all had done. Just 12 lines was a bit slim on a volunteer of over 40 years, and a former founding leader of the Provos, involved in international negotiations, etc....? Rather a key man??Red Hurley 12:04, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Active Service Unit

There's an article for this now, so if you see anywhere it needs linking please do so. I've added a few myself, but there might be some more. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 08:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
