WikiProject Gaelic Games
Hi, I have noticed that you added info to the Newbridge GAC article. Good work, there's a Gaelic Games WikiProject if you're interested in joining. Their is no commitment necessary, and you can assists the project as your time permits. If you have any questions about the project feel free to drop a line on the project talk page, or you can leave a message on my talk page. Even if you don't join, you can continue to edit GAA articles, as it'd be a good help.

There are loads of Derry GAA articles you can find in the categories and subcategories located here.

If you need any other help editing articles or starting new ones, give me a shout.Derry Boi (talk) 10:39, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

County Londonderry
Please refrain from changing references to County Londonderry to read County Derry. The correct name of the county, and accepted name on Wikipedia, is County Londonderry. See WP:IMOS. Continued changing of such references is considered vandalism. Canterbury Tail  talk  16:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Again a further warning. Please stop changing references to County Londonderry to read County Derry. The correct, an Wikipedia accepted, name of the county is County Londonderry. If you continue to edit in this fashion you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Canterbury Tail   talk  18:10, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This is your final warning. If you change Co Londonderry to Co Derry again you will be reported and blocked.Traditional unionist (talk) 11:08, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Who are you to tell me what the Wikupedia accepted name of my County is,You can call it Londonderry all you want ,on whatever other pages you contribitue to .I have no problem with this whatsoever as it is a free country (so i thought) The issue here is that the people who play ,support and spectate at Gaelic Games ( and logically therefore those who will wish to view this page) will refer to our County as Derry. If however i am banned for changing the name again( which i am going to do) then Mr Bell it says more about your narrow minded views than i could say on a thousand words
 * This is community.  If you do not wish to abide by it's rules then you are free to desist from editing.Traditional unionist (talk) 15:17, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Community consensus on Wikipedia has agreed upon using the official name for the county, see WP:IMOS. Yes some refer to it by the name of County Derry, but this is an encyclopaedia. There has never in the history of Ireland been a county by the name of County Derry, it is simply a colloquial name, and has no official standing. If you continue to ignore community consensus you will be blocked again. Canterbury Tail  talk  16:55, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

This is, necessarily, a particularly long block. Just so you are informed, blocks are preventative and not punative, and do not prevent you from editing your own talk page. As a result if you were to commit to cease your disrputive editing and abide by wikipedia rules your block would almost certainly be lifted and you would be free to make constructive edits once more.Traditional unionist (talk) 16:16, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
