This article is terribly written. It needs (badly) to be edited and cleaned up, which I would do if I had any real amount of time. But the syntax and structure, nevermind punctuation use, are horrific. Scath.agus.ceo 12:03, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I think this article needs more detail as it doesn't really cover enough of his Home Rule Campaign and the Land War.

Thanks, Deb, I've been meaning to get around to doing Parnell at some stage, but there is much Irish stuff to be filled in. (Some day I'll get around to switching off Wikipedia and finishing my own book. I guess I've become a bit of a Wikiholic!) JTD 06:05 Jan 7, 2003 (UTC)
Ecclesiastes 12:12 - "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh."
But what is "varity", and is the "war of 1812" the British-American War or Napoleon's rather larger scale (though possibly not as long run significant) war against Russia? PML.
- Did the US Congress award many medals of honour to people who fought in the Napoleonic war of 1812? Then I guess it must have been the British-American War, then. STÓD/ÉÍRE 23:39 Apr 14, 2003 (UTC)

- Quite - but, not something that is necessarily clear to everybody in all contexts, over and above this instance here. The term "war of 1812", used to refer to that war, is not only America-centric but actually refers to a lesser war than others of that date! So I feel that we need some more self-explanatory term that doesn't rest so heavily on context and background that not everybody will have. (The US Congress, by the bye, has been known to take a stand on matters completely outside its purview before.) PML.

- I linked it to War of 1812, which, like it or not, refers exclusively to the American one. Not even a "see also". :-\ But it should certainly clear that up, for anyone who wonders. -- John Owens 23:49 Apr 14, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Constituency
In Rayment's list of UK constituencies Parnell is listed as a member for Cork City for 1880-1891, is this correct?
- The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography writes:
- The announcement of the general election of April 1880 brought Parnell's labours in America to an abrupt end. He hurried home. Overall the election saw the triumph of Gladstone's Liberal Party over the Conservative government. Parnell achieved the personal triumph of being returned for three seats in Cork, Mayo, and Meath. He chose to sit for the Cork seat.
- It doesn't say specifically that he retained the same constituency in the 1885 and 1886 elections, but it generally notes constituency changes, so I think it likely that it would report it if he changed constituenfcies. john k 11:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Kitty" O'Shea
In this section there is a link to an article about the Kingdom of Meath. I was just wondering what the significance of this was? -- Paddyman1989 22:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor point- Link from obstructionism?
There is currently a "broken" wikilink from obstructionism- but I am not convinced that obstructionism is worthy of its own article. Could it be linked to a wiktionary definition? Phil 10:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Early Life
I've read that Parnell was educated in England before going to Cambridge. Is this true? Does anyone have any details? Bill Tegner 10:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
