Talk:Clonskeagh

The Dodder doesn't define it's north. I'm pretty sure it's north is at the intersection of eglinton road and clonskeagh road. Also this is in Dublin 6. --Richy 09:45, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not all of Clonskeagh is Dublin 6. Much of it is Dublin 14 (including Roebuck Road). I understand Clonskeagh north of the Dodder is often called "Vergemount" a la the hospital, but most people I have spoken to from there call themselves Clonskeagh residents. --shane t 15:19, 01 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That little bit of Clonskeagh north of the Dodder is a different postal code, different electoral distict & different council area than the rest of it. Clonskeagh Road is about the only common link. --Ljmcg 15:52, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to resolve the unclarity surrounding the borders. They are fluid so it's tricky, but I think I got the essence pretty well. Also, corrected an error in that the Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre are not on Clonskeagh Road but in fact have a postal address on Roebuck Road. Added info regarding St Kilian's and the LFI.

Businesses section needs an overhaul or perhaps deleted?[edit]

Most of the businesses listed in this section have moved. Vodafone has moved. Philips are no longer there. What about the rest? Bardcom (talk) 12:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)¨[reply]

I think the section is valid but needs updating. SeoR (talk) 15:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My concern over having this section here at all is how to apply a qualifying criteria for inclusion - otherwise a case could be made to include everything from Chinese Take-aways to Dog-walking services. Bardcom (talk) 16:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very true. Is a Chinese take-away less notable than a statue? Sarah777 (talk) 21:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. Depends though. But mostly true. As a general rule of thumb. --Bardcom (talk) 21:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should have an article along this line for Chinese take-aways? Sarah777 (talk) 22:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ooohhh! Tempting! Must .... resist .... --Bardcom (talk) 23:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Map?[edit]

Are there any guidelines for having location maps in articles such as this? Is there a template? --Bardcom (talk) 21:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Some relatively new ones - you use standard coordinates and they lead to a choice of maps - the reader then picks one. There was a bit of argy bargy involving that troublesome editor, BHG. But I think I managed to restore the peace :) You will find the latest at Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates Sarah777 (talk) 21:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
