Hi Zoney, a very recent discussion started on the above article you will be interested in it as I believe you wrote the paragraph that is under discussion. I believe I have correctly interpreted what you wrote but honestly I dont know enough on the matter of Euro notes. Djegan 17:20, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
You might be interested in the above manual of style that was been worked on sometime ago. Might have relevance in the Dingle controversy! Djegan 21:02, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Biased Edits
I'm going to have to take you up on that. Editors have accused me of pushing POV before, and often proceeded to remove factual entries. If you believe any of my edits breach NPOV, by all means bring it to my attention on my or the relevant talk page.

Unionists and Nationalists
Re your edit on Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland is an exceptionally complex place, as you and I both know. It is however wrong to equate votes for Nationalist and Unionist parties as evidence of actual support for the two categories. (For example, Ian Paisley, incredibly, gets a lot of Nationalist votes! John Hume got a lot of Unionist votes.) While Sinn Féin likes to project the idea that there are pretty much the same number of Nationalists and Unionists, with Nationalists overtaking Unionists eventually, that is not the case. Detailed survey data on the baseline definition of Nats and Uns &mdash the issue of the Union versus Unity, shows that the Union has the support of around 60% of NI, including the vast majority of Protestants and 30%+ of Catholics. So equating support for parties (which involves person appeal, policy, geography, etc and not just the 'big' issue) with support for Unionism and Nationalism is simplistic and misleading.

Irish Flags
Hello Zoney,
I note that you were the original editor of the following image: File:Flag of provinces (Ireland).png. I have commented on the image page, and the Provinces of Ireland talk page that the Ulster flag was wrong. It would be great if you could fix it using this image: File:Provincial Ulster Flag.gif. Thanks.

On another point I note your edit on the Northern Ireland flag. The "Ulster Banner" is the official name of the flag, as sourced at the bottom of the page.

- I went ahead and corrected the red hand on the flag, so it's now right. --JW1805 16:32, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Irish Railways
Hi Zoney,
Reading your extensive articles on rail in Ireland is getting me interested. Can you recommend a book or two? I'm interested in reading about the history of the building of the network and the politics of its destruction. Seabhcán 11:10, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
