Irish Confederation[edit]

This was not a conventional military battle, O’Brien was not a commander, but the leader of the Irish Confederation. Regards --Domer48 17:29, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-sequitur[edit]

This is left dangling in the air:The rebels then faded away, effectively terminating both the era of Young Ireland and Repeal, but the consequences of their actions would follow them for many years. What consequences? --Red King (talk) 22:56, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing[edit]

In the Young Irish disorders in Ireland in 1848 the following nine men were captured,tried and convicted of treason against Her Majesty, the Queen and were sentenced to death: John Mitchell,Morris Lyene,Pat Donahue, Thomas McGee, Charles Duffy, Thomas Meagher, Richard O’Gorman, Terrence McManus, Michael Ireland.

John Mitchel was never sentenced to death and was transported before the Young Irelander Rebellion. Charles Gavan Duffy was never sentenced or transported likewise Thomas D'Arcy McGee. No such person as Pat Donahue, there was however a Patrick O'Donoghue, Maurice Richard Leyne was never convicted. Richard O’Gorman was never captured. I could go on with the rest of the text but there is not much point. This is what happens when you copy and paste from sources that don't supply references]. It is also why we insist on them, and why when restoring text the burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation.

Edit warring to keep this type of information helps no one. --Domer48_'fenian' 19:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing[edit]

I'll sort out some references on this article. Could editors please include references when adding additional text. --Domer48_'fenian' 08:54, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hostages[edit]

Police took refuge in a farmhouse. There were children in the house. That is not the same as taking them hostage, surely!203.184.41.226 (talk) 07:37, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cabbage patch?[edit]

It was also known as the "Battle of Widow McCormack's cabbage patch", as so few people were involved. http://victoriancalendar.blogspot.ie/2011/10/october-9-1848-caught-in-cabbage-patch_03.html The article gives the impression that this was a nationwide event?PatrickGuinness (talk) 13:50, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
