Correct name

The Mauser 1898 rifle shown is completely incorrect. Few M1898 rifles would have been available in 1916, merely a few soldiers' souvenirs. The Mauser rifes available through arms dealers would have been the M1871 (singleshot) and M1871/14 (repeating) Mauser 1871 variants. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.56.138.65 (talk) 18:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article name says Irish Citizen Army. The first words of the article say Irish Citizens Army. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.122.21.194 (talk • contribs)

Flag

Flag: how can the design of the ICA flag have changed in the 1930s if, as per the article, the ICA ceased to exist in 1919? Unless this is explained, both image and caption should be removed from this article. Palmiro 13:59, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Because the blue flag with white stars was a mistaken reconstruction made in 1934 (for the Republican Congress), based on faulty recollections of the original flag, which at that time was lost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.79.33.250 (talk • contribs)

Irish name

I am changing the Irish name of the ICA to Arm Cathartha na hÉireann, as this is the form given in the Irish version of the 1916 Proclamation as well as the Ó Dónaill and de Bhaldraithe dictionaries. - Conghaileach 19:40, 27 June 2007

Confusing passage

In the 'Easter Rising' section:

"The confusion in the chain of command caused conflict with the Volunteers. Harry Colley and Harry Boland came out from their outposts in the Wicklow Chemical Manure Company's office 200 yards away, where they were under the command of an irascible officer, Vincent Poole; the post had been set up by James Connolly, without countermanding orders from affective Volunteers."

a) Are we to assume that the men are Harry Colley and Harry Boland? The Boland article mentions his "active role" in the Rising but gives no details; the Colley article mentions no link.

b) "affective"—what are we to understand by this word? Is it a mis-spelling of "effective"?—or perhaps one of "affected", in the sense that Connolly's actions might have impaired the military strength of the Irish Volunteers present? Or is there another interpretation?

c) Also, there is perhaps an ambiguity in the final sentence between competing senses of "without him countermanding orders from.." and "without orders, that would countermand his, existing from.." Harfarhs (talk) 23:36, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
