Ireland Start‑class Mid‑importance

Publication frequency

This article lists The Nation as a daily. The Encyclopedia Brittanica, 2004 Complete Home Library CD does not have an entry for the 19th C Irish newspaper (only 19th-21st C. American magazine). However, the EB CD does have an entry for Thomas Osborne Davis which states: In 1842 he cofounded the weekly Nation, which supported Daniel O'Connell's agitation for restoring an Irish parliament...

So was The Nation a daily or a weekly? Or did it vary publication schedule during its existence? Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 01:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

The Nation was a weekly paper. --Domer48 17:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Needs References.

The role and function of the Nation needs to be clarified. Were I place “citation needed” is were I believe the information to be wrong. Any and all discussions should be place on the appropriate page so all users can benefit. --Domer48 17:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Famous Editors

John Mitchel, was the most noteable of "The Nation's" editors. Citation wold be needed for Charles Gavan Duffy. --Domer48 20:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Domer48 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

The Nation in context

The fact that Young Ireland is not mentioned in the article deprives the page of context. What was its role and function, how did it fit in with the Repeal Association? I will add more material, but need those citations addressed. I will edit the picture “Birth of the Nation,” reduce the size when I get a handle on the technical side of editing. I have a number of images to up load which will enhance the over all look of the page and will add some of the poetry and prose by some of the main contributors. --Domer48 21:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ben W Bell, as I mentioned on the discussion page of the Nation, I was addressing the size of the Image “Birth of the Nation,” with your experience, could you possibly reduce it for me or give me some advice on how? I would like it to be a little larger then a thumb, and placed on the right of the page, with the text running down the side. Only if you can that is, as I am improving my editing skills, and should be able to manage it soon enough. Thanks, Regards --Domer48 10:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Added More Ref Contributions, and additional information

I have added the announcement of the Nation, before its publication, and the Prospectus, which appeared in the first edition. The Prospectus is very important because it sets out its objectives, and also the tone it will adopt. I have also added the images of Thomas Davis and John Blake Dillon. The citations need to be addressed, as I will be able to put forward an alternative view, if they are not addressed, I will put in more referenced information. --Domer48 17:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hopelessly biased

This line needs to go: The founders of "The Nation" were three young men, two of whom were Catholics and one a Protestant, all were free from the slightest taint of bigotry, and were anxious to unite all creeds and classes for the country's welfare. Furthermore, I won't edit this article because wikipedia articles are patrolled by a small coterie of Republican thugs who squash any dissent at every and any opportunity. 86.40.222.194 (talk) 16:42, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
