Talk:Counties of Northern Ireland

message: Would it not be more useful and more aesthetically efficient to have the maps zoomed in a bit to show more detail, eg by removing the Republc of Ireland counties since this is an article about the Counties of Northern Ireland? beano 16:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bit late, anyhoo, I don't really see the reason for having all the counties listed here with their introductions. I think we could completely remove them from this page altogether, keeping the first paragraph and table of the counties section. « Keith t/e» 17:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Was there a former County Londonderry, as opposed to the current one? NotMuchToSay 14:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't know what happened to that section, no there wasn't. It should have been the other way round. « Keith t·e » 15:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Bit late to respond to this but that is wrong. It happened between 1604-1610 not the 1700s. Mabuska (talk) 00:30, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

message: In this article, it states that County Antrim is one of two counties that don't border ROI.  I'm sure this is wrong, as I live in NI.
County Fermanagh borders the Republic
As does Co. Armagh
As does Co. Tyrone
As does Co. Londonderry
As does Co. Down
Hmm....

Counties Fermanagh, Armagh, Tyrone and Londonderry all share a noticable land broder with the Irish Republic, the Counties of Donegal, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan, and Louth I presume. Thought County Down does share a short land broder as well as a longer marine broder between the northern coast of Carlingford Lough is County Down in Northern Ireland and the southern coast of Carlingford lough is in the County Louth. Thought general opinion is that County Down does not share a land broder with County Louth is wrong, but the land broder they do share is no more than about half a mile long.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.53.34 (talk) 00:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The correct name is Derry not  Londonderry 2A02:8084:82:7200:881:AA6E:92B7:46BC (talk) 18:11, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done. Incorrect, the name of the county is County Londonderry. There has never been a County Derry in the history of Ireland, and County Londonderry was created from County Coleraine. County Derry is solely a colloquial term for the county and has never had any official standing. See Wp:DERRY. Canterbury Tail talk 18:22, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Not done, the name of the county is to be County Londonderry as per WP:DERRY. For additional background information, County Derry is a purely colloquial term for County Londonderry, the official county was created as County Londonderry mostly from the old County Coleraine.

replies: text: Not done. No other way round. County was created as County Londonderry. See the County Londonderry article for info, and the talk page of that article for a very recent discussion on this. Also see WP:DERRY. Canterbury Tail talk 16:11, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

message: Request to make clear, beside the name or as a note, the origin of the name Londonderry and that it is a change from the original Irish name 'Doire' made in the times of the plantation by colonists against the wishes of the people and that while not the official name, the people of Londonderry at large refer to the county as Derry. 84.203.64.103 (talk) 15:36, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Some of the maps have descriptions refering to the counties in Ulster, but only Northern Ireland is highlighted, Is this a mistake? 188.30.24.134 (talk) 17:16, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. Northern Ireland didn't exist until 1921. It's highlighting the counties that later became Northern Ireland, but they were previously organised in Ulster. Canterbury Tail talk 17:45, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
