The following are the results of the preliminary survey, it concerned mainly on format rather than substance.

Infobox[edit]

Checked what template was used and what details were provided. Factual accuracy was not checked.

  • Convention apparent: All four province articles used the {{Infobox Irish Place}} template with the following details: name, gaelige, flag, map, area, and population (& census year).
  • Discrepancy: For the Irish names Connacht and Munster use Cúige whereas Leinster and Ulster do not.
  • Query: If information contained within the infobox is not mentioned and verified in the main article should the infobox provide a citation for this information?

Pronunciation and Irish Name[edit]

Checked what information is included and in what order. Factual accuracy not checked.
