Thank you for this article, Billy227 and Tim.bounceback. You both appear to be commited to the further enrichment of Wikipedia and Wikipedia's purpose. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.159.230.60 (talk) 22:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC).
This might be worth moving up to start-class - can anyone give me their opinion on the matter? Tim.bounceback(talk | contribs | ubxen) 18:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
In any case, it's big enough to be unstubitized ^^ 72.139.249.175 18:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the two preceeding statements - Billy227 19:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure, but I recall Billy227 mentioning a geography book he got information from. Can you confirm this, BillyE? And possibly add it to your references? AFYFAF 00:59, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I have added the reference to the article. -Billy227 23:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Is this a necessary part of the article? Rahk E✘[[ my disscussions | Who Is ]] 16:44, 29 June 2007 (UTC) Very much so. -Billy-talk 15:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, absolutely. But it's far from the mark to describe such a profound and intricate poem as "basically a description of Yeats Country." Perhaps some competent scholar could provide a more appropriate phrase to link this article into the one about the poem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishboyfay (talk • contribs) 05:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
I think I may have jumped into this too quickly! I was going through the [GE] (Gasaitéar Na hÉireann - Gazetteer of Ireland) and came across the official English-language form of the mountain, and moved this page from Ben Bulben to Benbulbin as a result. Perhaps I should have discussed it first. Is this move ok, or does anyone think should I revert? --The.Q(t)(c) 16:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
(un-indent) Strange as this may sound coming from me (the user who made the original move from Ben Bulben to Benbulbin), I actually agree with VK here. As I stated above, I probably moved this too quickly, not being fully aware of the normal practice of having an article called by it's more usual name, rather than any official one. A quick search on-line shows that the mountain is called Benbulben by the official tourist agency, sligotourism.ie here and also by the Government agency, Geological Survey of Ireland here. If I get a chance to get out that direction with my camera in the next few days, I'll see if i cna get some photos of roadsigns, Etc., to see how it's spelt on those. If I get a few proving what VK and I and (I believe) most Sligonians would call the place, would that be sufficient to change it (again!)? --The.Q(t)(c) 15:41, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Stating that Ben Bulben is in "Yeat's Country" before stating its location in Co. Sligo is not a great introduction. Perhaps should be re-written as "it is in north Co. Sligo, also referred to as Yeat's Counrtry." KMcD (talk) 13:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I think this article needs a fair bit of work before being a GA. I'll list some things to work on and revisit. Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:50, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
All sections come up as a bit 'light' and could do with some embellishing. Ultimately, there is a lot of work to do, but I'm happy to leave this open for a couple of weeks and chip in. Note that we're just looking at comprehensiveness. There are some prose issues but figured getting content right was first step. Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:26, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Ben Bulben is a mountain, not a structure. Buildings are structures. In Ireland, buildings that predate 1700 are protected by the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP). Buildings after 1700 are given protected status in Development plans (county or local).
So say that a mountain is protected is untrue. Ben Bulben and surrounding areas do have protected status in the forms of Special protection area (SPA) for birds under the EU birdsnot a member directive and special areas of conservation (SAC) which covers wildlife covered by the EU habitats directive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjango297 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Joe Ring is incorrectly listed among Sligo’s “Noble Six” in the article. Joseph Ring was a Free State army brigadier killed by the IRA in an attack in the Ox Mountains on September 12, 1922. He would not be considered among the “Noble Six” by either Free Staters or Irish Republicans.Irl32csc (talk) 17:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
User:Romeparis changed the picture in the infobox from this to this, an image he has uploaded to Commons himself. His picture is clearly of a lower quality. Still he insists on adding it to the infobox, and does so by using various IPs. --89.8.24.175 (talk) 07:46, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
This picture is described as being of Slieve League in Donegal, not Benbulbin. I'm not familiar with the area myself so can't verify that the info on the picture is correct so haven't removed. Also, does the info box need to have a new section created for it? The pictures are all presently under the Irish Civil War section movingturtle (talk) 14:13, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
