Redirect made into article, when target of redirect still exists

[edit]

Not sure about this. I understand the appeal of something simple but the list here is not so much use, just a list of names, most of which will never have articles. There also looks to be a touch of "ownership" here - the first person to make an article does not own the format / style / content, even more so when another has also been working on the same topic for longer, and many others (on the Category Talk page) for over a year. But for now, doing my bit to update both. Irish-Swede 195.96.72.22 (talk) 06:54, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with Rivers in County Dublin

[edit]

Hi, just passing here, adding a little on the Camac / Cammock, and saw this proposal. Having seen both articles, I would merge this simple list into the more comprehensive article, as I don't see much value on a mere alphabetic list (it does not say what is a tributary of what, nor is it referenced), but maybe Wikipedia likes to have both a high-level and a deeper article for such purposes?

List standards

[edit]

Target standards for Wikipedia Lists:

  • 1. Prose; overall, features professional standards of writing.
  • 2. Lede; has an engaging lede, of appropriate length (not trying to be an article) that introduces the subject, and defines the scope, and inclusion criteria.
  • 3. Comprehensiveness: comprehensively covers the defined scope, providing where practical a complete set of items, but at least all of the major items. Where appropriate, has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information, of appropriate length, and taking account of any separate articles which might exist or be reasonably likely to exist given notability requirements, about selected items.
  • 4. Structure; is easy to navigate and includes, where helpful, section headings and table sort facilities.
  • 5. Style. It complies with the Manual of Style, including making suitable use of text layout, formatting, tables, and color, and with a minimal proportion of redlinked items, and has images and other media, if appropriate to the topic, that follow Wikipedia's usage policies, with succinct captions (and non-free images and other media satisfy the criteria for the inclusion of non-free content and are labeled accordingly). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.96.68.130 (talk) 10:32, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Order numbers

[edit]

Have you considered adding the Strahler order number also? Classic order is great for clarity of structure, while the Strahler gives a useful indication of accumulation.

Thanks. An interesting thought, as both orders are often used. Hard to source but I will look into it. Ciao SeoR (talk) 14:21, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rivers and streams in northeastern Dublin

I want to look into the option for a feature I usually don't go for, a gallery. For this sort of page, I think it might actually be useful. This area shot, 1-2 wider maps, and some shots of major watercourses. SeoR (talk) 16:53, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
