Image needs replacement
Hello all...

An image used in the article, specifically Image:Autumn-Ghan-House brighter.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.

Carlingford / Cairlinn
The supposed Irish derivation of the name seems very dubious. Many if not most eastern seaboard names are Viking (Skerries, Swords, et al) and the word Fjord (corrupted to ford) is obviously Viking as is the word Carling.

The supposition that part Irish is combined with part Viking for the name of originally a Viking settlement seems to me very doubtful. I have never heard of a proper source for the supposed Gaelic Cair Linn origin which I believe is simply a corruption of the original Norse name. DesmondW (talk) 16:24, 2 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed; that's what the sources say atleast. I'm just noting here that I placed the Irish form before the Old Norse etymology. I think this way is clearer: it shows that Cairlinn is only the Irish-language form of Carlingford, and that the Old Norse form is the ultimate origin of the name. Before it almost seemed like the Irish form had no connection with the English/Old Norse forms . I've moved the etymology down into a section of its own.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 12:09, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
