Neidín
editHi. I just left a note on the Kenmare talk page, and restored the original spelling. Put simply, the Dingle News is not using the standard official spelling. The correct and official spelling is "Neidín". (No fada on the e) This is the spelling directed by the placenames commission (which is the authoritative source on these matters), and as such this is a sufficiently authoritative source for the current spelling. However, if further references are required, refer to:
- Signposts
- An Post
- Google (19,000 hits for correct spelling. A few hundred for the alternative, and most of these to some Tommy Fleming song).
- Source derivation (no fada in Irish for nest)
- Etc.
It's also worth noting that the spelling on the article here has been "Neidín" for 7 years. This isn't because nobody spotted the misspelling. It's because it's correct. All the best. Guliolopez (talk) 09:27, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your addition about Newry. I've done a slight edit and kept the content, as it's interesting and the linguistics look sound to me. However, we will need to add a citation if we're going to keep it in the article, per Wikipedia policy. So if you could add a citation, that would be great. Thanks! - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:29, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
