Re: [Foundation-l] Fwd: Trouble in Ireland
-- Forwarded message -- From: Michael Everson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 2:21 PM Subject: [Foundation-l] Trouble in Ireland To: foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org I don't know whether this is a reasonable place to put this problem, but the articles on Ireland on en.wikipedia.org need a serious look by people with a neutral view. Right now we've got a clique of about 10 editors filibustering and preventing any change to the article naming conventions. It's driving us mad, and preventing the articles themselves from being improved. Somehow I think we need binding arbitration. A number of us think that the most sensible proposal is to move [[Ireland]] to [[Ireland (island)]], [[Ireland (disambiguation)]] to [[Ireland]], and [[Republic of Ireland]] to [[Ireland (state)]]. That's a compromise over an alternative, which is to move [[Ireland]] to [[Ireland (island)]], keep [[Ireland (disambiguation)]] where it is, and move [[Republic of Ireland]] to [[Ireland]]. If any of you would like to take a look, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ireland_(disambiguation)#Proposed_move_to_Ireland and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ireland#Proposed_move_to_Ireland_.28island.29 . At least I'd like advice as to how we can get out of this mess.

Re: [Foundation-l] Fwd: Trouble in Ireland
As Michael Bimmler suggested, I think too that wikien-l would be more appropriate. This is an English Wikipedia issue, not a Wikimedia issue.

Re: [Foundation-l] Fwd: Trouble in Ireland
I think perhaps the intent was to get English and Irish editors involved. This has been on and off of the noticeboards at en.wikipedia.org multiple times, through Arbcom at least once, etc. -Dan On Nov 26, 2008, at 9:25 AM, effe iets anders wrote: As Michael Bimmler suggested, I think too that wikien-l would be more appropriate.
