Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland Collaboration/Ireland Naming Dispute Evidence

Foreword
I started this page. The idea is to note all things, true and untrue, proven and unproven, that people claim, have claimed and will claim are facts relative to use of the name "Ireland" without inline discussion and with wide scope. Only truly ridiculous insertions "In Togo they speak Spanish" which are not related to Ireland or Irish should be deleted or statements such as "DeLorean cars were made in Ireland" which are impossible to tie in with use of Ireland or, for intents, Irishness.

A summary of the naming debate is required without the soapbox pulpit restrictions of ARBCOM and also without the rubbish, rubbish, debate, debate all through the middle. Talk should go on a talkpage of a construction of relative material, at this stage. "Facts" added that can be neither proven or unproven should be categorised rather than deleted. Contentious items should also be categorised as such. Blantant mistruth, especially recurring and from various editors, should also be categorised rather than deleted, deleting only the dumm stuff like "Ireland was part of Greenland, and they moved it". There is over a year before any signifigant changes could be allowed to naming. Folk have tried the banter style of debate for 5 or so years about this and that, without the best, without much worthwhile we could argue, acheivement. Try making something in particular to argue about! If we all have the same page nobody can say we are not on the same page!! Good luck! ~ R.T.G 15:06, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Old English (Ireland)
This page makes some claims about possible origins of "Éireannaigh". Is that probably the origins of the name Eire? What is the factual value of this information? ~ R.T.G 05:45, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
