Breach of Copyright

Unfortunately, both the retention of this image of a modern Irish Ordnance Survey map on Wikipedia's servers and its use on this article's page are in breach of Irish law: ...Gaimhreadhan^{(kiwiexile at DMOZ)} • 09:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the survey picture. Thanks. Colm Rice 15:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image needs replacement

Hello all...

An image used in the article, specifically Image:Autumn-Ghan-House brighter.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.

You have your mission, take your camera and start clicking.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 22:34, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Carlingford / Cairlinn

The supposed Irish derivation of the name seems very dubious. Many if not most eastern seaboard names are Viking (Skerries, Swords, et al) and the word Fjord (corrupted to ford) is obviously Viking as is the word Carling.

The supposition that part Irish is combined with part Viking for the name of originally a Viking settlement seems to me very doubtful. I have never heard of a proper source for the supposed Gaelic Cair Linn origin which I believe is simply a corruption of the original Norse name. DesmondW (talk) 16:24, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; that's what the sources say atleast. I'm just noting here that I placed the Irish form before the Old Norse etymology. I think this way is clearer: it shows that Cairlinn is only the Irish-language form of Carlingford, and that the Old Norse form is the ultimate origin of the name. Before it almost seemed like the Irish form had no connection with the English/Old Norse forms. I've moved the etymology down into a section of its own.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 12:09, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Biden

Apparently Carlingford used to be in either ‘Cooley Parish’ or ‘Lordship Parish’, which is where Joe Boden’s distant forebears hail from - suggesting that they possibly came from Carlingford itself[1] Overlordnat1 (talk) 19:27, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
