[edit]

This village is not in List of towns in the Republic of Ireland.

It is now. Sarah777 (talk) 01:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

census

[edit]

someone should really update the census section. 202? there that many people in the school now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Techo (talkcontribs) 08:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. It's at 324 now which indicates two things; (1) the population has increased by a whopping 50% in four years and (2) that two-thirds of all Oylgatians are in the school! Sarah777 (talk) 11:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which St. David?

[edit]

The article states "The village's patron saint is Saint David". Is this saint definitely the Welsh one, as in the linked article, or one of several possible others - see Saint David (disambiguation) for a partial list? --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 18:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OylegateOilgate – The article states that the latter name is official and this spelling appears on the pictured sign. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 08:04, 15 July 2012 (UTC) AjaxSmack  03:46, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

[edit]
  • Oppose it's pretty evident that whatever Dublin thinks there's some local support for the spelling which makes it clear that the original Bearna na hAille has nothing to do with petroleum nor scandals in South Africa. A nice little example example of a village (and the Irish Times, the only book on Oylegate, the local football club etc.) preferring a disambiguating name. Also, what would Oilgate be moved to? Oilgate (scandal)? In ictu oculi (talk) 03:48, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Kauffner, what might be unreliable about that source compared to the Irish Times? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't you ask for examples of usage by residents? Usage on the Irish Times site is 51 to 37. They obviously don't know how it's spelled. Kauffner (talk) 10:10, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. And now I'm asking what might be unreliable about that source compared to the Irish Times. We've had this kind of source come up before in RMs and there should be a note somewhere, on WP:IRS perhaps, about the problems when relying on government application forms. Even if I was a Gaeilge speaker, if I was making a planning application I would use Dublin's name for the village. Hence that isn't a reliable source.
