 * User:Mooretwin

What is the dispute?
BigDunc wants to remove the term "Northern Irish" from these articles, claiming the term is "not neutral". Mooretwin wishes the articles to conform to the football club manual of style, and disputes the claim that the term is "not neutral".

What would you like to change about this?
There is no genuine willingness to engage in dialogue. One editor is content to edit without seeking consensus.

How do you think we can help?
We need a central agreement about the use of "Northern Irish".

Discussion
Can someone explain the issue here I am lost. Some revisions would help. Gnevin (talk) 17:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it this sort of usage ? If so this has wide spread usage on soccer clubs and I'd see no reason for Northern teams not to do it Gnevin (talk) 17:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

To begin with, why do you each feel the way you do? BigDunc, why do you feel the term is not neutral and Mooretwin, why do you think it is? Wikiwoohoo (talk) 00:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
