message: :Image:LoughSwillyLetterkenny.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Now, I understand that Lough Swilly is one of three fjords in Ireland, but do we really need the "known" part? It is my understanding that Ireland has been thoroughly explored by now and it is, thus, unlikely that any further fjords are to be discovered.--172.190.6.89 (talk) 01:41, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Isn't "Loch Súilí" simply 'loch of the river Swilly (An tSúileach)'? Then the etymology of the river would need to be checked. 46.186.34.99 (talk) 23:05, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree entirely and the etymology offered for the River is far more likely. I see this comment has lain here for over 9 years. So I will give it a very short time when, failing any further comment, I will change this one which is manifestly silly. Gary Quinn (the source cited) clearly has little expertise in the matter (it is in any case a throwaway remark). Freuchie (talk) 15:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. While I would also question the derivation (and the use of that "throwaway remark" in a travelogue as the sole source), I would note that Mills (2011) pg 446 has an entry which reads: "". I would also, in all honesty, have some reservations of relying entirely on this as a singular source. But I wonder if, based on the availability of potentially differing sources, a short note (perhaps a footnote) acknowledging the existence of these sources, is worthwhile. (Also note, that the Logainm entry for the River Swilly (specifically one of the archival records) gives that the river may be named for the lough. Rather than the other way around. . While this @placenamesni post says the opposite. That "". Given these potentially conflicting sources I think a note/footnote is probably appropriate. My two cents FWIW.)
