Some advice[edit]
Hi Backbeatlistener! You've done some good work on the Murrintown page. There are a few things to watch out for / improve on, so I'll list them.
- Add more references - This is a horrible task, but the overall quality and reliability of the article will sky-rocket when as many valid references as possible are included. Take a look at this horrible piece of text to quickly and easily do references (Wikipedia:Citation templates#Examples). You could start out by fixing the references you have there, as it isn't really formatted properly yet. (A nice start, though).
- Layout needs fixing - The ordering of headings on the page is also an important visual aspect of an article. read this for further info (Wikipedia:Layout). The only real problem with the Murrintown article is that the last three headings are out of proper order.
- Divide the article - What I mean is that the second paragraph about the town is the the more detailed information about Murrintown. The contents box should be above it, so I would suggest you make headings which separate the information into main topics (history, geography, culture, etc). This will make it easier to further improve the article in each of these aspects. Obviously if there isn't enough or any information for each section, don't include the corresponding section. Also, seeing as you live in the area, photos of town centres/landmarks in each article are very important... If you are able to put a picture in each article they will look very good and more professional indeed.
- Lastly, fill out the infobox as it is looking a bit empty!
Of course, there are many more things to consider, and this list is pointing out the main problems with the Murrintown article. If you can improve all your focus articles to mirror Murrintown, then your project will seem more organised, and will be a little easier to add detail to numerous articles in the future. If any of your project articles are more detailed or formatted, then use this as a basis for your other articles.
Some of these tasks will require work, but it is this effort that will make each of your articles more interesting and enjoyable to read.
I am very happy to answer anything else you want to know.
Keep up the good work!

I won't protect it yet, but I've watchlisted it and will protect it if the vandalism continues for a few more days. Thanks for the notice though. пﮟოьεԻ 57 12:07, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, would you be so kind as to give us support![edit]
Hello, I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. I've just read your profile and I understood that you're proud to be Irish (I wish I can visit your wonderful country some time soon!), so you understand what are a minorized language and culture and maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... I'm a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this hasn't been approved up to that moment. We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Supporting us will be like giving equal opportunity to minorized languages and cultures in the future! Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care! Keep on preserving your great culture, country, music and language! Slán agat! Capsot (talk) 07:14, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Re:Sky template[edit]
In regards to the template, when I view it on Opera via the normal template page; it currently shows 15 (Boswell to Nordhaug) on the first column and 14 (Pate to Zandio) on the second column. I have double-checked the transclusion on the Sky article itself, and likewise has the 15/14 split. However, I notice that on another browser (one which I am not signed in on), the ages are not wrapping, which is causing the excess lines. I have checked several other teams and this seems to be the case. One of the weird minutiae of Wikipedia sometimes! The only remedy I can see to it all, would be adding {{nowrap|}} to the original template that is used to accommodate the roster via transclusion. Apologies if I was harsh previously in regards to it; I hadn't checked another browser to see what effect the revert would have done! Regards, Craig(talk) 20:52, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
