I'd like to upload this image, but I don't know how to do it: http://www.holywoodresidentsassociation.org/img/photos/maypole_thumb.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mick Fealty (talk • contribs) 00:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Famous People[edit]

Rory McIlroy should definitely be added to the list, he is becoming increasingly famous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.20.57.138 (talk) 00:50, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not on the right page?[edit]

Resolved

Can someone leave a note on my talk page telling me where the right page for the USA location is? Thanks. TheBlazikenMaster 14:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC) Nevermind, I found out. TheBlazikenMaster 22:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Names[edit]

I found this note quoted from an obsolete site:

Holywood had the pre Christian name of Ballyderry, derived from the Irish for oakgrove. Since then there had been six others. Ard-Mac-Nasca in 634 for Laiseran (later saint) who was the son of Nasca, a local princess. Sanctus Boscus, the holy wood, in 1210, Haliwode around 1300, East Holewood in 1625. In 1769 it became Hollywood and eventually in 1810, Holywood.

and was not sure how best to include it in the article tav (talk) 22:29, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

3 Proprietors[edit]

How can the Maypole Bar have only had 3 proprietors? That means Mick O'Kane ran the place from 1857, when it was licensed, until the late 1960s when he sold it. I know they say Guinness is good for you, but I didn't think THAT good. 188.29.165.154 (talk) 13:17, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 10 March 2022[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. Holywood has been retargeted to point to Holy Wood disambiguation page. (non-admin closure) Turnagra (talk) 09:01, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Holywood → Holywood, County Down – No clear primary topic, although the Irish one gets significantly more views (3,828) than the Scottish one (46) Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) gets more (4,189) and Guaiacum sanctum gets 509[[1]]. Although all Google results are for the Irish one, Images does return around half for the Hollywood Sign but most Books results do seem to be for the Irish one Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:13, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, DAB at base name.--Ortizesp (talk) 01:31, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For clarify "Holywood" should probably redirect to Holy Wood per WP:DABCOMBINE. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:29, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom, with a redirect to Holy Wood. BD2412 T 00:24, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
