James Connolly Republican Society Belfast/1916 Societys
[edit]Easter 2011 saw the launch of the James Connolly Republican Society Belfast, Easter Lily campaign. "Each Lily is handmade by ex-pows" . These Lilys were made using fabric and were very well accepted, the Lily is of traditional design, secured by a pin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seany12 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Achieving a stable & unbiased article
[edit]Let us discuss how we can improve the article in a neutral fashion. ÓCorcráin (talk) 15:01, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yep, and as soon as the WP:1RR covering British-Irish stuff runs out (we've both violated it – oops) I'm going to restore the stable version and we can go from there. (Please see the discussion on my talk page for how reverting, consensus and the bold, revert, discuss cycle works on Wikipedia.)
- Here are the things you need to source:
- That the lily is an Irish symbol of remembrance generally, not just a republican one
- That Labour and FF politicians wear lilies, too
- That "Since the Good Friday Agreement, the wearing of the Easter Lily has gradually become more popular and acceptable again" and that it's "seen as the Irish alternative to the predominantly British Remembrance poppy"
- You also need to explain why:
- You have deleted any mention of any of the IRAs
- You have blanked the section about its history, especially the Cumann na mBan stuff
- Why you have deleted the explanation of why the OIRA were called the "stickies"
- Go. — Jon C.ॐ 15:52, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Since when has this become a symbol of "remberance generally", in my experience it's only worn by Sinn Fein and their supporters. Jaqian (talk) 14:04, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Linking to the plant species
[edit]I suggest adding at the top of the article page something like "For the plant species often called Easter lily, see Lilium longiflorum" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilium_longiflorum). I can't figure out how to do this, though. OllyV (talk) 08:04, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
