KCSG.

'KCSG' is actually the postnominal letters of a Knight Commander of the Order of St Gregory the Great, which Maurice Moynihan was. - (124.197.55.28 (talk) 13:26, 3 August 2020 (UTC))

Ireland and the Commonwealth of Nations.

It is pretty relevant to have the category 'Ireland and the Commonwealth of Nations' included in various Irish articles, especially where the item in question was created when Ireland was a Dominion of the British Commonwealth - 1922-37 as Irish Free State and 1937-49 as the Dominion of Ireland.

Irish Senior Counsel is one of them, being created in 1924 to replace the title of Queen's Counsel or after 22 January 1901, King's Counsel.

Ireland's legal system is still strongly influenced by English common law - and Irish citizens have been appointed to judicial positions in various Commonwealth countries.

You should create the article The Republic of Ireland and the Commonwealth of Nations to explain the evolution of foreign relations between the Republic of Ireland and the various Commonwealth countries, as well as relations between Ireland and the U.K.. - (124.197.55.28 (talk) 03:48, 9 September 2020 (UTC))

Your reading on the situation is not valid. Irish Senior Counsel was created in 1924; category is there, it is for Irish lawyers; category there, it is about senior counsel; category there. Would it contain information of Ireland and the commonwealth; no it would not; pretty basic.

Foreign relations of Ireland#Ireland and the Commonwealth of Nations already exists, as part of Foreign relations of Ireland, that formerly contained uncited opinion, WP:WEASEL words and assumptions. You have been editing on here for awhile so why don't you do it?. Arnkellow (talk) 08:09, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

South African rebel tours.

The article South African rebel tours is about cricket teams representing various Commonwealth countries that toured South Africa between 1970 and 1991 - part of apartheid era South Africa's relations with the Commonwealth, therefore, the category 'South Africa and the Commonwealth of Nations' is very appropriate, as is for the articles about the 1965 and 1981 Springbok Tours - the latter causing a lot of protests in New Zealand in relation to the apartheid policies of various South African governments since 1948.

A group called Halt All Racist Tours was involved in opposing tours to and from apartheid South Africa from 1969 until the destruction of the apartheid system and the return of South Africa into the international community, including restoration of South Africa's membership of the Commonwealth, albeit, as a Commonwealth republic. - (124.197.55.28 (talk) 11:26, 14 September 2020 (UTC))

Is it an article about Commonwealth countries touring SA or countries that happen to members of the commonwealth? You can't just add a category you think fits. "South Africa's relations with the Commonwealth" find me a source that says that. If not just watch what categories you add. Arnkellow (talk) 18:30, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Amy Curtis

Thanks so much for your additions to the article on Amy Curtis! I do relatively few articles on military or service people, so I always forget about the infobox etc. I don't know if you are ever in Enniskerry (wrong end of County Wicklow for you I think!) but it looks like she is buried in St Patrick's graveyard there. Unlikely her grave stone would illuminate us much further, but you never know! Shame that there doesn't seem to be a picture of her anywhere. Thanks again! Smirkybec (talk) 10:43, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome. I haven't been up that way in a while, I stayed in a BnB one weekend many moons ago; for a birthday party in Lamb Doyle's. I did recognise it in Leap Year (2010 film). Arnkellow (talk) 10:50, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

I'll have to add it to the list of places to take a day-trip to once things have settled down - especially seeing as it's at the Dublin end. (Even though I've been in Dublin a long time, I'll always be a Carlow girl at heart, so now parts of Wicklow well enough!) Smirkybec (talk) 10:57, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

I have a copy of a letter typed and signed by a Miss A Curtis MBE. It is on Chelmsford Unionist Association letterhead and is dated 28th August 1931. The subject matter is the return of personal effects - watch, wallet and paybook - of my grandfather who died in 1919! His name is on a war memorial in Mombasa. I assume the return of such effects was a long-running task that she had undertaken. (Hrf53 (talk) 10:44, 29 October 2020 (UTC))

Hrf53 that is fascinating! If you were willing, a scan/photograph of her signature would be a great addition to her article. The whole letter wouldn't be needed if you didn't want to share it, but just her signature would be wonderful. Any image at all can go a long way to enriching an article. It must have been very sad, but very meaningful work for her to reunite belongings with the families of soldiers. Very poignant. Smirkybec (talk) 11:31, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

I am prepared to upload the complete letter but I'm struggling (I'm new to this). It won't let me upload the jpg. I need to study up a bit more.

Hrf53 Thank you so much! I will extract the signature to add to her article tomorrow. Thank you again, I appreciate it's a steep learning curve, so I'm really thankful that you persisted! Smirkybec (talk) 21:21, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
