Talk:Enniscrone

Untitled
Hello all, I am choosing to write this brief note as i hail from Castleconnor, a place only about a mile from Inishcrone. Although many spell and pronounce it 'Enniscrone', i can assure you that this is an English derivation from the original name. The town itself has been invaded with tourists over the past five years, and, if truth be told, it looks tired and decrepid. However, just a ten minute drive will take you into some of the most pictoral and aesthetically breathtaking views in all of Ireland. The Family Homestead is called Buninurla, and if you are ever near Castleconnor or Inishcrone, sample the delights of Rural Ireland. Maybe i'll see you there one day. Take care. Slainte!

Naming of article
Of the three versions -- [1] Enniscrone, [2] Inishcrone, [3] Inniscrone -- the first appears to be (rightly or wrongly) the most frequently used, the second is the "official name" (as used in legislation) ...and yet it's the third one (neither the most "popular" nor the most "legal") that we are currently using for the article title! I propose moving the title to either [1] or [2] (with continuing reference, of course, to the alternatives in the article itself). I prefer Inishcrone myself, but would settle for Enniscrone on the "most commonly used form" principle. Any comments? -- Picapica (talk) 10:51, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Picapica, I would agree with changing the name of the article to Enniscrone, as that is the name I have always used for this town, and the name it was always called as far as I know on signage, Etc., up until recently (I'm also from Sligo). It's a pity there isn't some standard that everyone follows for names, but maybe that's what makes us Irish, eh? --  The.Q (t) (c) 16:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I have tried (to move it to "Enniscrone"), but the intricacies of wiki-techno-wizardry have defeated me yet again.. :( -- Picapica (talk) 22:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Is it just the technical intricacies, or have you encountered resistance from other users? If it's just technical, I'll give it a go myself. --  The.Q (t) (c) 14:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Requested move
The following users, all of whom have edited these articles in the last year or so, have been notified of the Requested move: Picapica, Flowerpotman, Peter Clarke, Sony-youth, Ryan Postlethwaite, BrownHairedGirl, MurphiaMan, Cmdrjameson, Monucg, Annerway, Physchim62 and Henrygb. I have added the move template above, to request that this page be moved to it's more common name form of Enniscrone (see discussion between Picapica and myself above). However, I am unable to do this myself as there has been some edit history on that page, which already exists. I will try to inform as many as possible of the editors who have edited here. -- The.Q (t) (c) 15:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Further to this, the reason I gave on WP:RM is that Enniscrone is the most commonly used form of the name for this small seaside village. The differences in pronunciation of Inniscrone, Enniscrone and Inishcrone are barely indistinguisable among the local population, and all are just anglicisations of the original Irish, Inis Crabhann (also pronounced very similarly). -- The.Q (t) (c) 15:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC) Page moved, per discussion above. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Enniscrone is most widely used with 71,000 ghits, against 10,600 for Inniscrone. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support (clearly! see my reasons given above) -- Picapica (talk) 22:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Yes, no doubt that Enniscrone is the most common version of the name. Apart from the general, if inconsistent, use by Sligo County Council mentioned in the article, most media reports seem to favour Enniscrone; buses run to Enniscrone, the Gardaí use Enniscrone and so on. I was wondering if it was early version of the Dingle/An Daingean situation that dated back to the 1920's or 30's, but the census name is Inniscrone, and census names, while they frequently do vary from official names, are normally from before independence.

 * Support as above. Most popular, and used in "official" documents to dispel concerns that it is a "correct" version. Iamaleopard (talk) 19:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
