Derry/Londonderry[edit]

How was it decided to use 'Derry' rather than 'Londonderry'? 86.132.222.118 (talk) 13:48, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Residents[edit]

@Minimax Regret: wishes to keep a vesitigal OR POV edit of the banned sockpuppeteer Lapsed Pacifist (aka Gob Lofa) that claims without evidence that the barricades were erected by residents not just by paramilitaries. There is no evidence given in the lede or the body of the article for these claims. Unless some are provided they will be removed. Mabuska ^(talk) 11:37, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The issue has been sorted by @Kieronoldham: so no further action required. Mabuska ^(talk) 18:33, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The tone of this article reads like a British Army Propaganda press release. The Troubles did not "start" in 1969, as a result of "rioting", they started 400 years earlier, as a result of an invasion. Trying to pick apart whether barricades were put up by "residents" or "paramilitaries", many were both, is a ludicrous attempt to justify the British actions, which include murdering unarmed civilians, in this one operation. Your POV is obvious. Billyshiverstick (talk) 03:11, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
