thread_title: Under Ben Bulben

message: I think I may have jumped into this too quickly! I was going through the [GE] (Gasaitéar Na hÉireann - Gazetteer of Ireland) and came across the official English-language form of the mountain, and moved this page from Ben Bulben to Benbulbin as a result.  Perhaps I should have discussed it first.  Is this move ok, or does anyone think should I revert? --The.Q(t)(c) 16:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually we use "common name" not official name - anyway I call it neither of the above names that you suggest - I call it Benbulben!--Vintagekits 20:40, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I never heard it called Benbilbin before, only Benbulben or Ben Bulben.Jdorney 17:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just a further bit of background as to why I moved this page; I was going through the Gazetteer of Ireland for Irish names of places in County Sligo, and came across Benbulbin as the correct spelling for this mountain. Without thinking about it too much, I moved Ben Bulben to Benbulbin, given that I've seen this spelled three ways, in different places (Benbulbin, Ben Bulben and Benbulben), and as they are all pronounced the same way, I felt it was better to give the article the corrected spelling. Was this a bit hasty? --The.Q(t)(c) 16:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Q, is there any signpost about which have the mountains name on it? Also wiki uses common name not official name - I would say the common name is Benbulben (all one word) but could be convinced otherwise.--Vintagekits 18:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless of the spelling, there already page for "Benbulbin". It redirects to "Ben Bulben". Besides which, this is not the only case of such a thing. For example, the article Ukraine should theoretically redirect to The Ukraine, which is the proper name. But, it doesn't. -Billy-talk 20:25, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, Billy, thanks for your input - the more the merrier - however, I am not sure I get your point. Can you please clarify. regards --Vintagekits (talk) 13:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm saying that an article needs not have the official name, only the most common one. -Billy-talk 23:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Isnt that what I am also saying?--Vintagekits (talk) 23:44, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose so. So, might I suggest we revert the move? -Billy-talk 14:53, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am saying that the article should be called - Benbulben - all one word.--Vintagekits 19:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Sixteen years later and I'm assuming you never got out there with your camera? I can only echo the sentiments of those who find it jarring to see it spelled 'Benbulbin'. I've lived in Sligo my whole life (36 years, 7 months and counting) and I had never seen it spelled that way until I found this article on Wikipedia. 'Benbulben' isn't just the more common spelling, it's the only one that's ever used. If all you need to change the page title are some photos of nearby road signs, I'd be happy to go and get a few snaps of them myself and send them on to you?

thread_title:  Moved article - too quickly? 

message: Stating that Ben Bulben is in "Yeat's Country" before stating its location in Co. Sligo is not a great introduction. Perhaps should be re-written as "it is in north Co. Sligo, also referred to as Yeat's Counrtry." KMcD (talk) 13:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Ben Bulben is a mountain, not a structure. Buildings are structures. In Ireland, buildings that predate 1700 are protected by the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP). Buildings after 1700 are given protected status in Development plans (county or local). 
So say that a mountain is protected is untrue. Ben Bulben and surrounding areas do have protected status in the forms of Special protection area (SPA) for birds under the EU birdsnot a member  directive and special areas of conservation (SAC) which covers wildlife covered by the EU habitats directive.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjango297 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Joe Ring is incorrectly listed among Sligo’s “Noble Six” in the article.  Joseph Ring was a Free State army brigadier killed by the IRA in an attack in the Ox Mountains on September 12, 1922.  He would not be considered among the “Noble Six” by either Free Staters or Irish Republicans.Irl32csc (talk) 17:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
