Wikipedia:Northern Irish Wikipedians' notice board/News Archive April 2006

The name "Northern Ireland" has been stated to be incorrect (should be "Northern Irish"), but perhaps that can be best dealt with by a Rename, rather than Deleting the category altogether (which is what a Merge is in effect).--Mais oui! 18:40, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

 * There is a CFD open at Categories for deletion/Log/2006 March 20. I suggest that all Northern Irish Wikipedians who agree with the renaming vote in favour, as if it remains as solely Great Britain, Northern Ireland is effectively being wiped out of existance in terms of the team. Stu   ’Bout ye!  09:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I have proposed the renaming of Category:Northern Ireland football clubs to Category:Northern Irish football clubs in accordance with the standard for all other UK regional football team categories eg: Category:English football clubs.

 * Alternatively, post your views on the WP:CFD page, in the relevant section. --Mal 03:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
