Daire not Dhoire
editObviously you have no knowledge of Irish so please don't make edits where it doesn't add up. Dhoire is a modern Irish word and is not the origin word for Derry. The Old Irish Daire is, heck Derry sounds more like Daire than Dhoire. All placenames of Irish origin in Ireland are of Old Irish origin not modern which is very different in spelling in places.

- It is totally untrue that all placenames of Irish origin in Ireland are of Old Irish origin not modern. However, you are correct about Daire. Dhoire is the genitive of the modern Irish Doire, so for instance we have Contae Dhoire County Derry (i.e. the County of Derry). But simply Derry in modern Irish would actually be the nominative Doire not genitive Dhoire. While not wishing to be the cause of offence I suggest tomtwenty should learn some Irish before making the kind of edits regarding the language that he has made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.152.239.72 (talk) 20:52, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
"Daire" is correct. Read the reference I added. There was also a slight mistake on the page, as Derry comes from "oak wood". I don't mean to offend you, but please find a reference before you make such an edit again, as you are the only user who thinks that "Dhoire" is correct.--FF3000 (talk) 18:30, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
- I have responded to you Tomtwnety at my talk page. You really really need to learn some basic Irish as your only making yourself look foolish. Mabuska (talk) 13:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Microsoft, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability.

edit
Thanks for uploading File:Fai logo new.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:35, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
