Would you be interested in checking out a discussion on the above Talk page? It arises from an editor EEng reverting an edit I made. I have no intention of making multiple contributions to the discussion, but I feel most normal people would be for inclusion in the quite understated way I did. I wonder is there a gender thing? Do men and women see things differently? I have asked Brownhaired Girl to have a look too.Aineireland (talk) 15:52, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies I should have given you a link. Talk: John Roberts 2001:BB6:9524:A458:D138:4AB2:D326:8C6F (talk) 17:47, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not strong on biographies of living people, has it been resolved, or is it ongoing? Smirkybec (talk) 21:49, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ongoing Aineireland (talk)

(talk page stalker) I can keep an eye on the talk page and see if there's a consensus (currently I see a split between including the removed paragraph or not). Failing that I can send "the management" round to EEng to "rough him up a bit".^[FBDB] Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 23:00, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Aineireland If you want to ping people, you need to do something like {{u|Ritchie333}} or {{ping|Ritchie333}}; what you did is link to an article with that name. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 23:03, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ritchie333: Thanks Ritchie333, but that was not actually me. Aineireland (talk) 00:02, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it was you [1]. And inviting someone to a discussion while hinting at the position you want the invitee to take is not a good look (see WP:CANVASSING) nor is attempting to open an RfC on a question open only one day that hasn't immediately gone your way [2]. EEng 03:09, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Replying to EEng, I never heard of Ritchie333 until he addressed me on this page. Because Smirkybec is the Project Leader of Wikipedia Community Ireland, I think she may have communication methods unavailable to an ordinary editor with the result that a message she forwarded may have seemed to have come from me????? Aineireland (talk) 16:33, 28 October 2020 (UTC) Aineireland (talk) 20:37, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aineireland I don't have any special channels! All the editing I do here is very much in my personal capacity as an editor. Ritchie333 was just showing you how you can ping other editors to a talk page (we have been chatting back and forth a bit, so he probably just noticed this when replying to a message from me). No extra communications have been forwarded or circulated beyond what is here. EEng this was just a sincere request for some help, nothing more sinister than that. Smirkybec (talk) 20:49, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good God, Smirkybec, "sinister" never crossed my mind, just some technical thing I wouldn't understand. It had occurred to me before when something odd seemed to happen in the editing of Louisa Coppin. I'm afraid I'm not very digital. Aineireland (talk) 21:47, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No one's suggesting anything sinister. Aineireland, this isn't about Ritchie. Your original message here was Would you be interested in checking out a discussion ... I feel most normal people would be for inclusion in the quite understated way I did. Hinting that you want people to take a particular position is canvassing, and it's a no-no, though not the worst thing in the world. But please be more neutral in future when inviting people into discussions. EEng 17:22, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In career 2nd par. is it meant to be compromise? Aineireland (talk) 21:44, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First woman to (land?, fly?) a microlight Aineireland (talk) 23:17, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both citations just say she was the first woman to fly a microlight in Ireland. Smirkybec (talk) 23:20, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is a problem with the mention of Carolyn Mulholland you added to the lead. This article is about a building, not a sculpture. See the section Aims and it is clear(but also in lead).Aineireland (talk) 22:14, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added her to the article quickly as this was the article that her name previously redirected to. I have no strong feelings about how or if she is mentioned there, but one of the main sources for the article features her quite prominently. Smirkybec (talk) 22:24, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I read that, but it appears to be the speech she gave at the opening of the building when probably her sculpture was also unveiled and the BBC concentrated on that. I'll take out the sentence because currently it claims she designed the building, and see if later a suitable reference to her can go in , but it is a very short article Aineireland (talk) 22:34, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because of your interest in writing women into history on Wikipedia, you would enjoy this I am sure. Google marcellaosullivan.com and scroll down a bit to a wonderful video and song "Where have all the women gone?"

Also, thank you for the article on Katherine Everett. It made me (particularly on foot of Robert O Byrne's review ) get the book and read it. It was a real gem. Aineireland (talk) 22:58, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh that's lovely, thank you for the recommendation! Everett's book has been on my "to buy" list for so long, I must make time to get it and read it. The publishers who re-issued it, the Somerville Press, release very interesting books - well worth looking at the rest of their catalogue. O'Byrne is a wonderful story teller and speaker, I saw him talk about Sybil Connolly in the Hunt Museum a few years ago, and he is so engaging, so I'd but a lot of stock in his appraisal too! Smirkybec (talk) 23:06, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a new and excellent 13 min. video on Anna Parnell - Avoca the forgotten woman. I would love to have put it in External links for her Wikipedia article and the one on the Ladies' Land League. Unfortunately it is currently an unlisted youtube video, which apparently means that it is only available to those with a link to it. A browser won't get it. A woman who participated in it and has a link put it on her twitter page today and I found it retweeted.

Go to @rraughter Aineireland (talk) 19:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting! Strange that it is unlisted. The best thing might be to message/tweet at the woman featured and see if they would be happy for the link to be included on the article. Smirkybec (talk) 11:57, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
