Bridges of Limerick

Could someone double check for me if the Limerick bridges are correctly named, located and described here: List of crossings of the Shannon#Crossings It went 2.5 years without Sarsfield BridgeBogger (talk) 22:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Maigue Poets

Since the article linked to says absolutely nothing on this subject, the link should be taken out and this section should give an explanation of what is meant. 100.15.117.207 (talk) 23:50, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

"the fourth-most populous city on the island of Ireland"

I'm going to remove this claim as it's unsourced and almost certainly incorrect. There is no reference in the article to support it and it therefore seems to be implicitly supported, via link, by List of settlements on the island of Ireland by population. The problem is that that article isn't comparing like with like and therefore doesn't support the statement. As the intro to "List of settlements..." makes clear, the figures for cities in the Republic of Ireland (i.e. Limerick) are from 2016, whereas the figures for cities in Northern Ireland (i.e. Derry) are from 2011. So what we have is

Limerick (2016 population) 94,192. Derry (2011 population) 93,512.

Derry's population has been growing at a faster rate than Limerick's in recent times, so it's 99.99% certain that Derry's 2016 population would have been higher than Limerick's. Rather than relegate Limerick to fifth place, I think it's best to remove it altogether, though a possible compromise would be saying that Limerick is one of the five largest cities on the island.

So you base your claim on guesswork? The Banner talk 18:50, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

I base the removal on WP:VERIFY: "All material in Misplaced Pages mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed." No source for this claim = no inclusion. Valenciano (talk) 19:22, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

You base the removal on plain guesswork. You give no evidence for your claim at all. The Banner talk 19:32, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

No, as I have said several times, I base the removal on the total lack of a source to verify it. Do you get WP:VERIFY? Hint: it's key to how things work round here. Valenciano (talk) 19:39, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

What part of my opening statement "I'm going to remove this claim as it's unsourced " is unclear? Valenciano (talk) 19:40, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

What part do you not understand from "based on guesswork"? The Banner talk 19:42, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
