Talk:Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eighteenth century Charles O Conor of Ballinagare was able to trace his ancestry directly to the Ruaidhrí Ó Conchobhair here. Tom Bartlett of UCD mentions this in his 'Fall and Rise of the Catholic Nation'.

Why not just name this page Ruaidri Ua Conchobair? That's how he's referenced throughout the article, and it seems to be the practice with the Irish kings to use the Irish names unless they have a more common English version.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

He has a common English version of his name, so like Diarmait mac Murchada, the article is called by it rather than his Irish one. That isn't what WP:IMOS says to do, but no doubt there's a good reason for ignoring it. Just ask Jtdirl what it is, because he's the man who moved it here. Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair is not unambiguous (check Kings of Connacht where there are three or four others) but I don't think that there's much doubt that this is the Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair which people would expect to find there.

I just moved it. He's the only Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair who has a page, as far as I can tell, and if the others get one, we can make a disambiguation.--Cúchullain ^t/c 23:24, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
