Dodds would almost certainly call Derry Londonderry so that's the preferred term in this context I think. Please let's not have yet another childish rv war on that subject!!!
I think "a party not known for its intellectualism" is a bit pov (although I've a feeling I put it there in the first place!!!) so I've removed it. Happy to discuss. Gerry Lynch 22:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Although Derry seems to be the standard term on Wikipedia, the inclusion of the official name does'nt overly bother me. I would rather keep the reference to intellectualism, as it seems to mark the party out from most of the others.
Lapsed Pacifist 01:51, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
Even though I probably wouldn't dispute the fact, the reference to "intellectualism" is definitely POV, so I've removed it. Stu 10:56, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] POV-pushing
From your edit history, it's clear that you do not believe that Northern Ireland is a legitimate state. You are entitled to that opinion; however, you are not entitled to push this opinion by rewriting articles to remove all references to "Northern Ireland". This latest tactic is just another version of your old "six counties" and "north-east" gimmicks. They didn't work; neither will this. Stop playing games and wasting both our time.

I presume you're addressing me, Demiurge. Feel free to put any interpretation you like on my edits, they will stand or fall on their own merits. There are no fewer than seven instances in this article where the words "Northern" and "Ireland" appear consecutively. Were I 'rewriting articles to remove all references to "Northern Ireland"', I think I might have been slightly more thorough. Were you to write "Dodds travels regularly to Britain to attend parliament", and a particularly obstinate user insisted that you use the word "England" instead, you might have a better grasp of my reasoning.
Lapsed Pacifist 04:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- Who else would he be addressing LP? There are seven instances of 'Northern Ireland' in the article as this is the official name of the country being referred to. Simple as that.
- The sentence "Dodds travels regularly to Britain to attend parliament" is completely different matter. England is part of Britain. Northern Ireland is not a part of Ireland in the context to which you are inferring. Stu 15:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom but it is not part of Britain. Millbanks (talk) 19:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
