message: The correct legal name of the city is "Londonderry". Derry is commonly used by nationalists and perhaps it is advisable for someone to add "/Derry" everywhere Londonderry is mentioned. However, to remove the name 'Londonderry' all together, appears to be a biased attempt to erase the non-Irish republican Protestant Ulster-Scots heritage in Northern Ireland in an attempt at historical cyber ethnic cleansing. Only the City council is correctly referred to as "Derry".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by AndySCO (talk • contribs) 14:56, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

text: Just like me, Wikipedia does not care what UK laws or courts say. The city is known as Derry on Wikipedia, no matter how much you stamp your feet. O Fenian (talk) 15:31, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

text: We do not generally include county names when referring to the city of the same name, "Armagh, County Armagh" and "Galway, County Galway" are redundant, since everyone knows where they are. Just as everyone knows that at present England, Scotland, Wales and the North form the United Kingdom, we do not generally include "United Kingdom" when talking about any of the constituent countries, "England, United Kingdom" is quite pointless. We do not generally use the long-form name of the United Kingdom either. O Fenian (talk) 16:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

text: A stroke city style compromise has been suggested on the Derry page but has been rejected. It's best to make the point there but generally style wise Wikipedia doesn't go for multiple names, see San Sebastián for example. Valenciano (talk) 18:56, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

text: I am constantly amazed by the amount of time and space taken up by people over essentially trivial matters like this. Usually people who take no interest in improving the quality of the content of the articles. We have a policy on this on wikipedia - Derry for the city, Londonderry for the county. If youy want to change policy then go to the relevant forum. Don't clog up teh article talk page. Jdorney (talk) 10:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Londonderry v. Derry 

message: Nothing in the article about the police being undermanned and the amount of hours they had to do.  Or the fact that they became exhausted which is why the B Specials were called in.  It's relevant and needs to go in.  Tired police make mistakes, and if the B Specials had to be deployed who knows what would have happened as they had no training and no riot gear, just batons, rifles and Sten guns.
