President of Ireland[edit]

Nice, comprehensive article. I made only one very minor edit so this isn't really a self nomination. LUDRAMAN | T 03:11, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • Object - Add some pictures, perhaps of an Irish president or two; a shot of Áras an Uachtaráin, perhaps... maybe even a brief historical note about the exercise of one or two of the Presidential powers.... I will remove my objection, however, once some pics lighten up the article, which is indeed nicely done.--LordSuryaofShropshire 15:40, Apr 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • (Support) Agree with LordSuryaofShropshire. Needs photos! Other than that, looks superb. Zoney 17:03, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • The photos of the individual presidents are on the individual presidents' pages (makes sense?). A shot of the Áras wouldn't be a bad idea, however. Anyone fancy a trip to Dublin with their camera? :-) LUDRAMAN | T 19:50, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
      • Neutral: I am neutral now with the addition of the one picture at top. I won't take initiative to move this to the 'without objection' section since I don't know if Zoney is with or against at this point. --LordSuryaofShropshire 17:05, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)
        • I'm with - I won't object! Zoney 11:19, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Not an objection, but I think single quotation marks need to be changed to double quotation marks. Also, the sentence "Since the 1990s under President Robinson, but in particular since the Good Friday Agreement the current president, Mary McAleese, who is herself the first President of Ireland from Northern Ireland, regularly visits the six counties" strikes me as unclear. Is it that, since the 1990's under President Robinson, Mary McAleese visits the six counties? - That is what seems to be implied; perhaps the sentence could be corrected up by someone who is confident of its meaning. -- Emsworth 01:01, May 5, 2004 (UTC)
    • I've pretty much cleared up that sentence (IMO). Zoney 01:24, 7 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Heartily support. I have learnt a lot from reading this. -- Kaihsu 13:42, 2004 May 5 (UTC)
  • As one of the early workers on this page (and someone who left wikipedia for quite a while) I have to graduklate people on their work on it. I have made two minor tweaks, but think it is a good article that hopefully will help people know more about a largely unknown office. FearÉIREANN 16:50, 7 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support (I've made a single minor edit on the page, if that counts against nowadays) James F. (talk) 15:11, 9 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
