The GAA's wikipedia page was reduced by almost 75% by an anonymous editor a few months ago without any discussion - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gaelic_Athletic_Association&action=history

I recommend a reversion. - JimmyK

There have been several GAA submissions to WP:AfC.

The latest is Draft:Disbanded Limerick City GAA clubs which is totally unsourced. However I'm not clear on how to turn it down, is it just a lack of sources holding this back or is this not a notable topic for this project? Rankersbo (talk) 09:31, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Something I've noticed recently is the way articles are being done differently in Hurling and Football. In hurling, there is a single article for the All-Ireland championship which takes in all matches down to provincial level. At the same time, separate articles are done up for both the Leinster and Munster Finals. I personally think this is adequate.

Football however is completely different. As well as All-Ireland Championship articles, separate articles are also done up each year to cover all 4 provincial championships. These 4 articles contain no new information which cannot already be found in the All-Ireland article. And yet, no articles are being done for any of the 4 provincial finals each year.

Makes absolutely no sense in my eyes.

A courtesy notification for your project that there is a deletion discussion in progress relating to 2014 Cavan Senior Football Championship, and by extension to other season-by-season county club championship articles.

This is an important discussion if anyone is around Gnevin (talk) 09:45, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys, would Clifford Richardson be notable from a Gaelic perspective? Certainly doesn't look notable for his Aussie rules and rugby exploits. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 13:27, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hasn't play in the All Ireland Senior Championship, i'm going to say no Gnevin (talk) 11:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S No from a GAA point of view and no from a rugby point of view. Maybe yes for AFL ? Gnevin (talk) 11:04, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As of 4 Feb 2017, more than 550 articles use the term "excelled at hurling". In most cases we use it as part of an introduction, to explain perhaps how a player was better-than-average - before then perhaps describing how they progressed to inter-county level. "Excelled" is in a category (along with other words to watch like "great", "outstanding", "leading", "brilliant", "awesome", etc) of loaded terms that are best avoided (in short, "excelled" is at best subjective and relative, and at worst, representative of an opinion). I am considering replacing the majority of these instances. In particular those which read "first excelled at hurling [in his youth/with club X/with school Y]". With "first played competitive hurling [in his youth/with club X/with school Y]". The latter being less subjective. Unless there are other thoughts on how best to address these NPOV tone issues, I'll likely progress this in the coming weeks. Guliolopez (talk) 20:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
