Whoever was so unaware of the simplest principles of capitalization, and yet so confident, as to move Dingle Peninsula to Dingle peninsula should sue their local Board of Education for incompetence and Breach of contract. --Wetman 12:38, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Well, it was mainly to match the other Irish peninsula articles. On reflection, they should probably all be moved to the capitalised versions. I'll do so shortly. It can get confusing sometimes, particularly with having to edit in US English frequently. zoney ♣ talk 12:51, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Panormaic Photo
The panoramic photograph is spectacular, but I would love to know where it was taken. The peninsula is pretty big, and I can't find a place on a map that remotely resembles the coastline in the photograph. Does anybody know? -- MiguelMunoz 00:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
The photo was taken from the opposite side of the road to Mionnán na Gráige, where there is a sharp bend, at the point where the road heads south towards Dún Chaoin. On the left can be seen Ceann Sibéal, na Triúr Deirféaracha, Baile na nGall etc. on the right, the Blaskets. An Muimhneach Machnamhach 12:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Most westerly part of Europe
I have removed the reference to Corca Dhuibhne being the most westerly piece of land in Europe as more than half of the landmass of Iceland is further west than anywhere in Ireland. I have also substituted "nationally notable authors" for "regionally notable authors" as Peig Sayers, Tomás Ó Criomhthain, Pádraig Ó Maoileoin etc. are well known nationally and indeed Tomás Ó Criomhthain's "An tOileánach" has been translated in many languages.

- Perhaps whoever added that was thinking of "Europe" in the sense of the European Union. Still wrong, though, since the most westerly piece of land in the EU is probably the westernmost point of French Polynesia (it's in the EU, isn't it?). —Angr 19:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
