My name is Denis Cavanagh and I like contributing here when I'm at work. Who knows, when I'm back in College I might write the odd article here and there, but I wouldn't bank on it. I like seeing most of the red links here turn blue as Citizendium slowly develops :-)
 
I joined here sometime in July, 2007, heartwarmed by an attempt to create an encyclopedia more reliable and frankly better than wikipedia. Although personally I do belive Wikipedia and the Citizendium can complement each other nicely - Wikipedia for pop culture and trivia, Citizendium for more academic persuits.
 
I am in university in Dublin, Ireland, studying History.
 
==Articles I could really do with a hand in==
 
I have a right few articles running about the place, but these could do with help from somebody knowledgeable in the Field:
 
[[Spanish Golden Age]], [[Ulster Unionism]], [[Arthur Griffith]], [[Richard I]], [[Anglo-Irish War]], [[Blues]]
 
==The Course of Modern Irish History==
 
At some stage I would like to have these area's filled in (Some are already done) Its something of a personal project - an ambitious personal goal to reach within a long period of time - be it a year or ten years. Of course, others should create articles on these topics where they see fit :-)  
 
===Ideas and organisations===
 
[[Ulster Unionism]], [[Irish Nationalism]], [[Irish Republicanism]], [[Orange Order]], [[Fianna Fáil]], [[Fianna Gael]], [[ITGWU]], [[Irish Labour Party]], [[Irish Green Party]], [[Home Rule Party]], [[Irish Parliamentary Party]], [[Democratic Unionist Party]], [[Killing Home Rule with Kindness]], [[Catholic Emancipation Movement]], [[The Irish Land War]], [[Irish Rural Land Reform]], [[The Irish Land League]], [[The Protestant Ascendency]], [[Ulster Unionist Party]], [[Progressive Unionist Party]], [[First Sinn Féin Party]], [[Sinn Féin Party]], [[Social Democratic and Labour Party]], [[Irish Republican Brotherhood]], [[Irish Republican Army]], [[Provisional Irish Republican Army]], [[Loyalist Volunteer Force]], [[Ulster Volunteer Force]], [[32 County Sovereignty Movement]], [[Real Irish Republican Army]], [[Continuity Irish Republican Army]], [[Dissident Irish Republicanism]], [[Irish Volunteer Force]], [[Irish Citizens Army]], [[Irish Volunteers]], [[National Volunteers]], [[1937 Constitution of Ireland]]
 
===Principal Characters===
 
[[Michael Collins]], [[Éamon de Valera]], [[Arthur Griffith]], [[WB Yeats]], [[Seán O Casey]], [[James Joyce]], [[Ian Paisley]], [[Martin Mc Guinness]], [[Gerry Adams]], [[Joe Cahill]], [[David Trimble]], [[Charles Stewart Parnell]], [[Robert Emmet]], [[Theobold Wolfe Tone]], [[Charlie Haughey]], [[Bertie Ahern]], [[Garett Fitzgerald]], [[John Costello]], [[WT Cosgrave]], [[Michael Cusack]], [[John Dillon]], [[John Redmond]], [[Padraig Pearse]], [[Constance Markievicz]], [[James Larkin]], [[Michael Davitt]], [[Daniel O Connell]], [[James Connolly]], [[William Gladstone]], [[Edward Carson]], [[James Craig]]
 
===Major Events===
 
*[[1798 Rebellion]]
*[[1803 Rebellion]]
*[[The Irish Famine]]
*[[1848 Young Ireland Rebellion]]
*[[Home Rule]]
*[[Easter Rising]]
*[[1913 Lockout]]
*[[1918 General Election, Ireland]]
*[[Anglo-Irish War]]
*[[Anglo-Irish Treaty]]
*[[Irish Civil War]]
*[[Irish Free State]]
*[[Economic War]]
*[[1937 Constitution of Ireland]]
*[[Éire]]
*[[The Emergency]]
*[[Republic of Ireland]]
*[[Irish Troubles]]
*[[Sunningdale Agreement]]
*[[Ulster Working Council's General Strike]]
*[[Bloody Sunday]]
*[[Free Derry]]
*[[IRA Hunger Strikers]]
*[[1994 Ceasefire]]
*[[Good Friday Agreement]]
*[[Devolution in Northern Ireland]]
*[[The Celtic Tiger]]
 
This is extreme long term goals, but I'm just trying to frame my ideas into one place.
 
==My next project==
 
I'm shelving Ireland for a while, feeling a need to siversify somewhat - I'm going to have a crack at [[The Crusades]] next.
