[edit] Move

I have only ever heard this referred to as the Enniskillen bombing, and I propose moving the article there. Lapsed Pacifist 17:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I would say the more common name is "Remembrance Day Bombing". I propose moving it again to that. Stu 13:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


I disagree with your assertion. I tried a quick Google test with both terms, which seemed to prove you right, but many of the results turned out to be spurious. So I'm at a loss as to how to find out for sure.

I'll support that move... Massacre seemed POV in my view - JVG 00:55, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

It is specifically remembered for taking place on Remembrance Day, so I've moved it to "Remembrance Day Bombing". Stu 09:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

ive only ever heard of this as the enniskillen bombing too. google has 419 pages calling it what this page is called and 38900 calling it the enniskillen bombing.

That's incorrect. A specific phrase search for "Remembrance Day Bombing" returns 502 results: [1]. A few more if you take common spelling mistakes into consideration. A specific search for "Enniskillen Bombing" returns 659 [2]. "Enniskillen Bombing" is a far more general term, and will include other bombings that occured in the town.

Shouldn't it be Remembrance Sunday Bombing, as that's when it actually happened. Remembrance Day refers specifically to 11 November. Also, the following sentence has no source and doesn't even make sense:

"In reaction to the bombing, Bono the Irish rock band, U2, pausing during the singing of his famous protest song about the Troubles, "Sunday Bloody Sunday," to denounce the violence and the Irish-Americans supporting it with an ignorant romanticism."

Why is Wikipedia so full of garbled sentences and other detritus? 86.136.7.160 17:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
