280:, you will see that the claims of the group calling itself "the IRA" from at least 1930-something onwards are highly contentious. So it doesn't seem right to ignore that. I also agree that contemporaneous sources in Ireland called it "the IRA" and used the term "Old IRA" for the orginals. I accept that the article shouldn't get bogged down in detail: it reads to me as already a Featured Article Candidate. But the references to "IRA" will generate an edit war if it reaches FA. Can you look at it again, maybe invite comment on the talk page. (I'm not saying that my version is right, you can see that I've reverted myself!) --

save has started on one before the other has finished the milisecond it takes for the other to save. So in effect both saves merge under name of the person who saved a milisecond later. It happened to be me once before. It also happens where two users revert vandalism using rollback. If someone has already rolled back a half a second earlier, you may end up rolling back to the vandal's edit. So it is possible that either the system didn't have a current version open but said it did (and I had opened the current version), in which it is a technical glitch, or a fluke occurred of two edits, mine and a vandal, at
