Belfast (2)

Compared to the other Irish city articles, it is quite pathetic, especially considering the amount there is to say about it, even minus the Troubles. No stub, but there's only an unsorted general introduction, brief history section and a boring politics section (recent/electoral areas). The infobox is ugly and needs cleaned up, with a photo and map to be added. Photos in general are needed. zoney ♣ talk 00:02, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Agreed - most of the Northern Ireland city articles are "dark" and revolve around the troubles too much. Djegan 19:13, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hurley (1)

Article didn't exist, I created an extremely basic stub. Important topic. Huge amount to be said about the production of Hurleys. JOHN COLLISON | (Ludraman) 10:21, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The Late Late Show (2)

A different kind of project: let's de-POV and improve this article. Should be easy enough to get up to a very high standard. Filiocht 10:04, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

Yes. I tried dePOVing this a while ago but I ended up just having to remove whole sections of text. Reads like it was written by Gay Byrne's publicity agent... :) JOHN COLLISON [ Ludraman] 12:47, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Architecture in Ireland (1)

Nice and broad, I am sure we all know something on this. A good structure will be needed, but boy is there plenty to write about! From early Christian Ireland to the British era, to the mid-20th century demolitions and the recent Celtic Tiger modern developments. Wow. Where to begin?! I see this as an ideal ICOTW - though depending on how long Irish Wikipedians are online during the week, and how quickly the article develops - this may need two weeks. There's enough to write articles for each city (even towns?) nevermind the country as a whole! See Architecture of Limerick. zoney ♣ talk 12:27, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
