Introduction

For an introduction to the concept of Project-Managed Profiles, please read the help page.

For Project-Protection, please read the help page.

Historically the Irish Roots template was applied to a large number of profiles that were not managed by the project. A clean-up exercise was undertaken in April/May 2019 to limit the template to Project-Managed Profiles (as at May 25 there remain a small number of closed profiles not yet moved by their owners). The 'Ireland Native' and 'Irish Clans' stickers are available to apply to non-Project-Managed profiles.

Goal

The overarching goal of this team is to honour the memory of men and women who have made a significant contribution to Irish culture and heritage through any sphere of activity, be that military, political, religious, sporting or cultural.

What We Do

The Ireland Project manages profiles of notable Irish people who are important to Irish history and culture. The Wikitree Notabability test is a useful reference for notability.

We honour these people by:

  • adopting their profile if they are Wikitree orphans
  • becoming co-managers if the profile already has a manager
  • improving their profile with a detailed and researched biography, sources and links
  • maintaining the integrity of the profile.

The Ireland Project protects a profile if:

  • aspects of their history are contentious, unproven or speculative
  • the biography or comments indicate that there has been dispute about the identity of the person, key details of the person’s life, or their descendants or ancestors, or there have been previous G2G posts requesting that the profile be locked
  • the profile is prone to duplication
  • the Last Name at Birth (LNAB) is unstable
  • the profile is at least 200 years old or notable.

The Ireland Project protects a profile by:

  • either adopting an orphaned profile or becoming a co-manager
  • applying PPP status which locks the LNAB and the parents of the profile person
  • researching the profile history using reliable sources and improving the biography if required
  • encouraging and leading discussion about the profile person and their family on G2G
  • maintaining the integrity of the finished profile by keeping it on our watchlist.

Links to British History

The often violent and emotive nature of historic relationship between Ireland and England, and the religious aspects of this, means key figures from Irish history are often not treated with objectivity. The Project will aim to deal with contentious figures from a neutral perspective.

Another aspect of this relationship is there are often cases where important figures in history may be born in Ireland but not considered Irish. The lauded explorer Ernest Shackleton is one such example. The Project will interact with other relevant teams (e.g. Notables, England Project) to determine the best way to manage such examples.
