Hi there, and welcome to the Wiki. I noticed that you have added a few articles recently, and that they have been marked with the "To be cleaned" tag. First off, fair play to you for being honest about your Irish language skills, and for welcoming comments.

But, I think that there are at least 2 basic things that you could do before submitting the new material:

1. Go through the articles and add the "fada" (i.e. á, é, í, ó, ú) where it is needed.
2. Check the vocabulary and terms against a decent dictionary (there are some good recommendations in this Wiki, and then of course www.englishirishdictionary.com is another convenient option). Vicipéid:Fáilte, a núíosaigh provides more details.

Nobody expects anyone to do anything beyond their ability, but the two items above can be done by anyone and would already make a drastic improvement to the articles. Go raibh maith agat. --Antóin 15:37, 10 Márta 2008 (UTC)

Leathanaigh nua

A Chara, Molaim thú as ucht do chuid iarrachtaí (Well done for your efforts). However, there are a few things you could do to improve the new articles you are creating.

• Please try to follow general wiki conventions when creating a new page (see en:Manual of Style)
• Note that the síneadh fada is an acute accent e.g., Use "Ó" not "Ò", "é" not "è", etc.
• Along with Antóin's recommendations above, try www.focal.ie
• Please try these things out on your user page rather than the main encyclopedia, that way, if you make a mistake, it only appears in your personal pages
• If you need help in translating, ask a fellow editor. Usually, if it's only a line or two, they'll find the time to help you out.

Finally, it seems that you're creating pages on topics of quite a specialist interest and for that reason, it's harder for other editors to follow some of the things you are trying to describe and correct mistakes.

Ar aon nós go n-éirí leat le do chuid eagarthóireachta agus má tá ceist agat, fág teachtaireacht ar mo leathanach plé.

Le gach dea-ghuí,

Nmacu 15:05, 16 Aibreán 2008 (UTC) Ceart go leor I have a decent Focloir but perhaps I am using a different dialect of Irish to the rest of you(there are 6 different dialects are there not?)Fada slashes to the left,tuigim me.I forgot about the style things ta bron orm,I will try to follow them.Alright,I'll mess about on my user page,no harm in that.Topics of a specialist interest?Perhaps,but my user page does say what I'm into.Also I tend to translate from the English Wikipedia(my links show you the exact article I'm trying to translate).What I'm trying to translate I believe only a rare few could,sci-fi has lots of big words and stuff that only exists in fiction.I think my translating is solid but my grammar is letting me down,nach e seo?If I am using the "wrong" dialect please say so.Nil me ach cuig bliana deag d'aois duinai usail.Perhaps specialist isn't quite the word as my articles are so far only about shows which are absolutely huge in Japan and America but not here it seems,they are hardly unknown.Ta me do chara?Ta me honoured.Thank you for congratulating me on my efforts,tuigim Dia nobody else would make the articles I made because of lack of interest or lack of Irish.Thanks for not losing the rag on me I'm certainly not as multilingual as you two are.Ach nil me doing uafasach for a buachaill de cuig bliana deag d'aois sea? -Sioraf

Tá tú ag déanamh an-iarracht. Beidh tú ag foghlaim ó na botúin a dhéanann tú. Tá tú in ann leathanaigh nua a thriail i do spás úsáideora trí nasc ar nós [[Úsáideoir:Sioraf/Nua]] a chur isteach ann agus ansin an leathanach nua a chruthú. Once you've mastered your editing skills in your user space, you can then move your drafts go dtí an Vicipéid féin. You may find that some editors will lose patience if you publish pages that require a lot of editing before they satisfy the basic requirements of Wikipedia style guides and also from a language point of view. That's why it's best to try things out in the user space first. Go n-éirí leat, Nmacu 21:16, 16 Aibreán 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if I should try to piece together an English-language tutorial in Irish and include it in the Wikipedia. Newbies would at least try to find out what exactly is wrong with their Irish. The problem with how they teach Irish at school seems to be that nobody actually takes the trouble of explaining the language in English. And, Sioraf - I hate to say this, but I am afraid it is not a dialect problem exactly. As a first aid, get a copy of Máiréad Ní Ghráda's "Progress in Irish" - a nice little green book - and read it systematically from beginning to end. It is a small, manageable book, it teaches standard Irish, and it will help you. We try to stick to standard Irish here, not to a particular dialect.

Ceart go leor Nmacu I'm surprised nobody has lost their patience already.Sure thing,I'll practice on my user page. -Sioraf

Ah,tuigim me Panu Ta Progress in Irish i mo teach.Usail me an leabhar AGUS mo own Focloir isteach sa an future.Afraid to say it?I find nothing wrong with what you are saying.The problem is my grammar as I well know. -Sioraf

Mas e do thoil e/ No more new messages anyone.The longer I chat the less time I get to practice and the less articles get added.If you feel you absolutely must message me then do not

• Say I need a dictionary.The one I have is fine.
• Swear,say anything racist or pornographic(nobody has yet,I'm only saying it so nobody does).

.If anyone has a problem with my articles or perhaps wants to sort them out then look at my user page,it says what needs to be done..Nil me ach 15,nil me ina chonai in aon Gaeltacht ach ta me doing my best to make an Vicpeid bigger and better. -Sioraf

Ailt le scrios Hi Sioraf, Tá brón orm é seo a rá ach ní dóigh liom gur féidir do chuid alt a choinneáil mar gheall go bhfuil an Ghaeilge atá iontu do-léite.

I realise you have put a lot of time and effort into creating these articles but they just aren't anywhere near readable. If you provide me with a couple of sentences in English on the articles you have created so far, I'll translate them for you so that they reach stub-standard and aren't deleted. Hopefully you'll learn a bit about how to write in Irish through this process and if you continue to read other people's contributions to Vicipéid. Nobobdy expects the editors here to have perfect Irish but, the articles, at the very least, need to be able to convey information to their readers through Irish and unfortunately, your Irish isn't at that stage yet. Hopefully, that will change in the future. Le meas, Nmacu 10:15, 30 Aibreán 2008 (UTC)

Ta me anseo aris. Ta me ag staidear Gaeilge (na briathra i priomh) agus Gearmainis. Anois is feider sliochtai nios basic, sin nios easy chun gach. Chuir me cad ata me ag obair ar i mo ich usaideora. Go n'eiri libh. Sioraf 21:56, 9 Feabhra 2009 (UTC) A chara,

Scríobh tú ar do leathanach (Úsáideoir:Sioraf); Practising at the moment. Unless you know of something I can do....

Would you like a 'template' in Irish for some topic that would let you make short articles on it quite easily and get some practice? For instance, if you were interested in writing about soccer players, we could give you a template in Irish saying A is a soccer player. He is from B. He is a goalkeeper / defender / midfielder / forward. At the moment he plays with team C. Before that he played with D, E, F and G. You could then make articles about whatever soccer player you wanted without too much trouble with grammar etc by filling in the blanks. Or for example we could give you a template about towns in Carlow saying A is a town in Ireland. It is situated in the southeast of the country, in County Carlow. It has a population of B. Some famous people from A are C, D, E, F, G and H. Is there any topic you would like to write about in that way?

Beir bua.

Tameamseo 14:31, 10 Feabhra 2009 (UTC)

A template for battles would be great. I have studied many, being in the RDF and all. Sioraf 16:17, 10 Feabhra 2009 (UTC)

There is a template for battles already. See my sandbox for the template. As well as the pages I started adding it to. (But didn't finish). Guliolopez 17:01, 10 Feabhra 2009 (UTC)

Ah thanks Guiliolopez. It's good to see you're still here by the way. Sioraf 22:17, 10 Feabhra 2009 (UTC)

It wasn't exactly that kind of template we were talking about but adding it to the remaining Cathanna on the list and filling it in would certainly be useful work Sioraf could do relatively easily. Go raibh maith agat, a Ghuliolopez. Tameamseo 23:06, 10 Feabhra 2009 (UTC)

Hi Sioráf. I'm sorry but I have to suggest that maybe you shouldn't write articles like the 2 you wrote recently. Please don't take offence but apart from the issue of the Irish grammar in them, neither Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher nor Karl XII even had the name of the people in question right in their titles before I changed them. Gebhard and Blücher were misspelt, and Charles had the wrong number after his name. If you want to write any more about kings etc, please try writing this;

Rí ab ea NAME OF KING (YEAR OF BIRTH-YEAR OF DEATH). Rialaigh sé COUNTRY ó YEAR HIS REIGN STARTED go YEAR REIGN ENDED. Bhuaigh sé CATH X, CATH Y agus CATH Z or else NAME OF WAR (look it up on www.focal.ie).

This is an example; Rí ab ea Sioráf V (1024-1129). Rialaigh sé an Fhrainc ó 1039 go 1129. Bhuaigh sé Cath Leipzig agus Cogadh Chomharbas na Spáinne. This translates into Béarla as Sioráf V' (1024-1129) was a king. He ruled France from 1039 to 1129. He won the Battle of Leipzig and the War of the Spanish Succession. [if you don't know how to say War of the Spanish Succession, try www.focal.ie - see [1].] Go raibh maith agat! Tameamseo 21:06, 11 Feabhra 2009 (UTC)

• Oops. Sorry about that, I tore into them a bit quick I think.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sioraf. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sioraf~gawiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
