Well, you were talking about branching out from just Irish topics, this is perfect for you! I'll be looking for the new articles in the morning. :-)
But seriously, a worldwide collection of ambassadors past and present would be a valuable addition to Wikipedia, not only because the info is presently scattered, but because the ambassadorial ranks often include persons with, shall we say, "interesting" links to other topics. Wikipedia could become the favored resource for researchers trying to understand more about some of these connections.
