Neidín
[edit]Hi. 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)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. ser!
