Hello, Kauffner, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia!

You should begin by reading these pages:

If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.

Remember to be bold and edit any pages you want! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Simple talk. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

Good luck and happy editing! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ireland[change source]

Please have consensus before you make a move like you did with Republic of Ireland. You posted a thread about it an hour and a half ago. That is not enough time to get input and make a controversial change. The English Wikipedia also has their article at Republic of Ireland with Ireland (state) redirecting to it. Let's stick with what they have unless there is consensus to move. Only (talk) 12:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is English Wiki the model? What about Britannica, Encarta, the United Nations, and all the many other sources that call this country just plain "Ireland"? Kauffner (talk) 12:56, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
DjSasso has a decent response at Talk:Republic of Ireland as to why. We were formed as an off-shoot of the English Wikipedia. Because of that, we generally follow a lot of their guidelines/discussions unless we form consensus of our own. If you're able to get consensus here for a move, then we'll move it, but it's too "big" of a move to happen without it. Only (talk) 21:07, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added some more nominated hooks hoping for the next queue. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:55, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
