2010 post - Blacksod Lighthouse V Blackrock Lighthouse
[edit]I'm not quite sure what you think the problem is. Right enough, they are two slightly different headings. That is because, although I have actually called the article Blacksod Lighthouse - it is actually Blacksod and Blackrock lighthouses both of which are near the end of the Mullet peninsula in North Mayo. I thought one article would suffice as the same lighthousekeeper is in charge of both lighthouses even though they are a good distance apart. The reason the references section is in a slightly different heading is that I didn't intend it to be a sub-heading which the other two are. As there are no pictures available for my use on Wikimedia Commons I'm going to have to take some pics to put on as I havn't yet worked out how to use pictures taken by someone else - eg. Commissioner of Irish Lights - who have some excellent pictures of both lighthouses. Will work on it over the next few months. But, I can't see the problem you have highlighted here??Comhar (talk) 18:41, 31 May 2010 (UTC)ComharComhar (talk) 18:41, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
- As Blackrock Island (Mayo) now has its own article, I wonder if the content on Blackrock Lighthouse should be moved there. Otherwise (as seems to have been the case above), there could be some confusion between Blacksod Lighthouse and Blackrock Lighthouse. (Granted they are both managed by the same keeper, but as they are some distance apart, it might be better to "split" them on geographical rather than operational lines).

I have agreed with Guliolopez and I have completed the suggested move. By all means check and correct my work.
Possible suggestion: A little on the usage of the Helipad and refuelling at Blacksod might be useful/interesting.

[edit]The attribution of the weather reports to the Allies during WWII omits the Maureen (Flavin) Sweeney per NYTimes. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/02/world/europe/maureen-sweeney-dead.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare 2603:8001:9600:9969:515B:985B:D8B2:7840 (talk) 21:27, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. I've updated to clarify that was (per refs) not just one member of Sweeney family. Guliolopez (talk) 20:03, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
