Talk:City of Derry Airport/Archive 1

Discussion
I changed the name of the council from Londonderry to Derry as this is the official name and it has a page, the other link was dead.--Shimbo 00:22, 26 January 2006 (UTC)


 * The redlink came from an mistaken edit by 147.252.83.57. The council had a different name in 1978 (as did the airport). --Henrygb 03:31, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

The official name of the served city is Londonderry. To suggest it is "Derry" is erroneous. Wikipedia is supposed to be a place of facts not a political forum. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wildfire1978 (talk • contribs).


 * Nobody calls the city or the airport by the name Londonderry. Its City of Derry Airport which one will find is in the city of Derry. Pal X 19:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

You are joking right? A MILLION people call the city and airport Londonderry and that is just in Ulster! Londonderry is the official and correct name of the city and Wikipedia should be using the proper name for the place! YourPTR! 19:26, 26 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I hope we are all well aware that different people use different names for Derry/Londonderry. However, this has all been discussed already and there is an agreed compromise in place (on wikipedia, the county is called Londonderry and the city Derry) this is official wikipedia policy (see WP:IMOS.   --Shimbo 08:34, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Official Wikipedia policy goes against the Law in the United Kingdom. The City and the County are officially known as Londonderry, not Derry, Doire or any other sentimental rubbish. The name Londonderry should therefore appear as the name of the city otherwise the website is incorrect, misinformed and more to the point informing the reader of incorrect facts.--The Maiden City (talk) 16:35, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Please read Wp:IMOS and stop changing from the established agreements and policies of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not based in the UK, and is not governed by the laws of the country. Canterbury Tail   talk  15:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The law? *laughing* Can you point me to this law that says UK citizens must call the city Londonderry? --Blowdart | talk 16:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

We all know from bitter experience that certain individuals show scant regard for the law if they are from parts of Londonderry. That aside, the official name of the city is Londonderry and Londonderry it will stay! --The Maiden City (talk) 16:35, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia may not be governed by the Laws of the United Kingdom but its residents are! Consequently, they have no authority to make any agreements which related to the country or any of its residents. The official name is Londonderry and Londonderry it will stay on any informed sites which take themselves seriously or which sell themselves on publishing facts and not fiction.

Wishful thinking does not constitute a fact! --The Maiden City (talk) 16:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Just because the current City Council deemed it politically correct to change its name doesn't mean that the city itself should be called anything other than Londonderry being its proper title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.33.101.58 (talk) 13:52, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
