2020

@Guliolopez: Not happy that you're omitting important details. Following your logic, it would be enough to say that "2021 did take place". And the infobox within infobox just looks wrong and is not up to Wikipedia standard. I am undoing this mess, you could really help contributing Wikipedia by researching and adding to Wikipedia, not by deleting what other people have put effort in researching and posting.Wolfmartyn (talk) 12:59, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. RE:

"you could really help contributing Wikipedia by researching and adding to Wikipedia". If you have not already done so, please read WP:NPA. I have been contributing to the project for more than 15 years. And, in that time, have researched, created and expanded hundreds of articles. The implication that I do not know how to constructively contribute to the project is both misguided (relative to WP:NPA guidelines) and misplaced (relative to verifiable fact). Please don't feel the need to comment on other editors. Comment on edits only please.
"Not happy that you're omitting important details". What important details were omitted? That the 2020 event was cancelled was stated. And not removed. All I "omitted" were the dates the 2020 event was proposed to happen and the date the cancellation decision was announced (Both, IMO, of limited value to the reader). I may be missing something, but why would these dates be important details with any significant or lasting relevance? Does the date of the announcement matter in the long term?
"infobox within infobox just looks wrong and is not up to Wikipedia standard". OK. Perhaps the embedded infobox wasn't as pretty as I might have hoped. And I note that, in restoring the standalone "recurring event infobox" you did not restore the redundant information it contained (which restated that the event occurs in Cork in Ireland etc). However, I would still question why we need two infoboxes to convey official website links, the date of the last event, etc. Is there any opportunity to further consolidate the contents of those two infoboxes? To aid in clarity and readability? (And reduce the risk of redundancy and potential conflict?)

@Guliolopez:Apologies for being a bit blunt, I am frustrated by frequent experiences with wikipedians who disregard the research from scarce sources, and stomp some laconic message instead. Thank you for the effort in making the article better, I acknowledge your effort. Infoboxes are serving a great purpose of summarizing the information, and since neither of the two include all key facts (or, you could say, have a different angle), I use both. I accept that there was redundant information, hence removed duplicates. Now I'm thinking that I should have rather left that info in the second infobox, as that information is recurring.
