Caps

Hi there, following the move from Government to government in Irish article. What about Executive Council and Ministry? Are they also to be lowercase? Spleodrach (talk) 11:25, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good question! Government --> government was the easiest call, being a commonplace word, even when part of a formal title, so it was the first one I approached it with. But I can't see why it wouldn't also apply for executive council and ministry. FWIW, I've noticed that the Irish Times now uses lowercase for taoiseach. All that said, I'd be hesitant about moving to the same for Dáil or Seanad, as in 33rd dáil, even if arguably the same principle applies. (By the way, thanks for catching and reverting a false positive in a heading when I was going through them; the AWB is efficient, but I do need to watch out!)

Attribution

Hi, Iveagh Gardens. You didn't identify the source of the material in your edit that created Opinion polling for the 2024 Irish general election. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed. For future use, you should note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia. In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved. (I've added it now.) This guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits; I got pinged about it myself last year. Cheers, Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 00:07, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was pinged about it myself a few years ago and do always try to remember to add it (see other edit summaries I included yesterday). But I think I did here too: the edit summary for the page creation did include a link in the edit summary created new page with material copied from 2024 Irish general election#Opinion polls. Perhaps without the phrase "see that page's history for attribution", but I did identify the source of the material. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 07:02, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That might well be sufficient, I'm not 100% sure. Cheers, Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 08:35, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the important thing per WP:CWW is the linked attribution itself, rather than a particular or prescribed form of words. If I do genuinely forget though, feel free to ping me! Iveagh Gardens (talk) 08:44, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
