Hello, Jnestorius. When you changed Novelette into a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:
- A code of honor for creating disambiguation pages is to fix all resulting mis-directed links.
- Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.
It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Novelette" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. R'n'B ( call me Russ) 22:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. The recent introduction of Wikidata and its use for recording interwiki links has lead me to question the wisdom of covering two different (even if highly related) concepts in one article, as Enclave and exclave does. I've said more at Talk:Enclave and exclave#Reconsideration of merge of enclave and exclave, you may to comment there. -- chris_j_wood ( talk) 16:30, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

When you moved Coney Island, Ireland to a new title, and then redirected the old title to the disambiguation page Coney Island (disambiguation), you must not have noticed that the disambiguation page still has a link to the old title (and not to any other island in Ireland). This is not particularly helpful to readers, since anyone who clicks on that link on the disambiguation page will be redirected right back to the same disambiguation page. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 22:05, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, firstly I have no problem with you removing the unofficial flag variants from the pages I created I was planning to do so my self even though they exist elsewhere. However i refute your " fake" claim on the alternate leinster harp and the four provinces crest, the harp in question was partly designed based on the 1651 arms which is the actual true original, the current is the brian boru harp which is supposed to only be utilised for ireland also the nationalist harp you included has nothing to do with the leinster harp only that it is green, secondly in regards to provincial arms there is no official format to the type of crest that surmounts only that the four provinces arms are present within and the order does vary.

I picked a professor of Irish at random from the Galway University website in 2010 and corresponded with him by e-mail to research the etymology of Muckanaghederdauhaulia. That is where I got the "piggery between two briny places". My own Irish was good enough to see that it had something to do with "pigs between two seas", but I wanted an accurate translation. That is original research of course, but it is the best I can do as I have found no book or online source to prove it, but at least my research was conducted at a respectable academic source. This source confirms that muiceanach is "a place where pigs feed" (a piggery) and this one shows that sáile means "brine" and "salt water". As the map shows, and as I saw for myself when I was there (see picture in article), the place is a peninsula jutting into a marine bay, with seawater on both sides, so it is "between two briny places". Also, here is a discussion at an Irish language forum I have used for human flesh research in the past when I want translations beyond my own skills. Scroll to "Here are a few for ye". Cheers. — O'Dea ( talk) 02:07, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- It wasn't that I didn't believe the stated translation, it's that the cited source is only valid for the name, not the translation. I've just added the first match on
Google Scholar as a ref.

- Muicíneach does not mean piggery or pertain to a pig (etymology > Muc is the Irish for a pig) . Muicíneach is a low lying saline marshy area. The townland is a headland between 2 salty estuarine water bodies and which is mainly comprised of bog with some farmland on its northern extremity. Rather salty bog as it happens given it is surrounded by saline estuary or sea in the main. Wikimucker ( talk) 14:26, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
Do you still want this draft or not? I see you haven't touched it since 2010. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 21:54, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
