Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Inisheer, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. RedBulbBlueBlood9911 (talk) 10:56, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

editHi. And welcome. Please have a look at Wikipedia's WP:COMMONNAME, WP:USEENGLISH and WP:IMOS guidelines and conventions. In short, Inisheer is the common name of the island in English, is therefore the title of the article on the island on the English language Wikipedia, and is the term used (to refer to the island) in the article about the island (and other articles on this Wikipedia). Unilateral changes (contrary to this convention, policy and reality) are not helpful. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
Gulio. You are incorrect. The common and official name of the island in both the English and Irish languages is "Inis Oírr". Source: Ordnance Survey of Ireland (Official Mapping Agency).
I am Irish, live in Ireland and speak both Irish and English languages. I know what is correct and what is not correct.
The amendments that I am making from the unofficial anglicised version of "Inisheer" to the official name of "Inis Oírr" are correct.
Thank you.

- Quick tell the people of the Aran Islands. Guilolopez is long time editor on here, and has helped me with good advice that I listened to. There is an Irish language version of Wikipedia too if editing the Irish language interests you more.
- I have only been on here a short while, and haven't really got stuck in, pass by edits similar to yourself, but I do read the edit history of pages; and the edit history editors of those pages. These show how things are done on a collaborative level, the links Guilolopez has given you are the guidelines for what is done and what is expected. Listen to the advice.
