thread_title: Requested move

message: I'm not entirley convinced that Longford's Abbyshrule airfield is capable of accepting any kind of airliner, let alone a heavy cargo plane (Antonov An-124) or the largest ever passenger airliner (Airbus A380), especially as the latter isn't even in service yet. This requires verification and, if it's entirely wrong, removal. I'm adding the appropriate tags. Mickthefish 19:14, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disputed: Airliners?

message: Updated the "Sport" section, it's been a few years since Longford Town were relegated from the Premier division, and the League of Ireland is no longer referred to as the Eircom League. Backbeatlistener (talk) 21:22, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Longford Town Football Club 

message: It appears that the name derives from 'Longford Uí Farrell' or 'Longphort Ui Fhearghail'; O'Farrell's fortress, see 1 & 2 - and not Longphort as currently stated. Thoughts? RashersTierney (talk) 04:08, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Some additions of people to Lonford town may perhaps be more appropriately placed elsewhere ... Francis Ysidro Edgeworth is a candidate for move to Edgeworthstown where he was born for example - his article makes no mention of Longford Town.  Comments welcome.  Thankyou.  Djm-leighpark (talk) 08:20, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed! Most of the people here are misplaced. I believe only Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, Willie Browne, Ray Flynn and Michael Gomez should actually be here. Others are variously duplicates with Granard, can be placed in other towns or are just from other parts of the county. Declangi (talk) 09:46, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've done a pass removing the Granard duplicates and moved one each to Ballymahon and Edgeworthstown.  I'm incline to believe Francis "Frank" Butler and Padraic Colum probably don't rightly belong here but I haven't located a specific appropriate settlement. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:15, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Colum seems good ... my it's my original research ... has plaque under a tree at the hospital  and as far as I can tell consistent with this map but I'll leave it for others to check the findings as I don't know the area in detail. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:42, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

text: * As far as I can tell (from pressreader) the Irish Independent published on 25 April 2018 Butler was born in Longford Town.  Two possible issues may be they could have been lazy and sourced that information from this article (I note only as a possible) ... and its possible the temporary pressreader page was incorrect.  I do however note the people list has  previously been pruned and some since restored.  hmmm. Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:14, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for this, a big improvement. Colum and Butler look fine to be under Longford. In general, the People sections of Ireland town articles are prone to vandalism and boosterism. It's one of those ongoing tasks to keep them clean! Declangi (talk) 23:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
