can I have some opinion please to ascertain if the following is worthy of inclusion in the article  ? Tentative perhaps but I feel it should be there as Phibsboro/ough spells two ways

[edit] The Letter O Question

Phibsboro is one of seven areas of Dublin whose name ends with the letter O.
Naming all seven is a difficult and frequently asked question in pub quizzes.
Here's the full list ;

  • Phibsboro
  • Portobello
  • Marino
  • Rialto
  • Pimlico
  • Casino
  • Monto

I agree that with the correct spelling of Phibsboro ends with an 'o' Dublin City Coucil spelling of Phibsboro. The Letter O is not material for this section. It's triva and could be assign under a genreal Dublin triva article. ant_ie 23:37, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Surely An Posts version of the spelling is more correct - Phibsborough. Thats the spelling on the street signs as well. the ending in O is just a corruption??

I would simply note in this article that there are two variants of the spelling. I agree with the previous editor that "The letter O" section is not relevant here. (Anyway, it's news to me that there's a Dublin neighbourhood called "Casino", but that's beside the point).Ecozeppelin 10:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pap Vandalism

Some anonymous contributor continuously inserts material about "Pap Geraghty", apparently famous for a very heavily trafficked website. Yet Google produces only one reference [1], and the entire contents of that site are copied from the Wiki article. (Sarah777 23:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC))

The Pap Geraghty vandalism continues fro multiple IP addresses. This page needs to be watched. DSRH 16:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
