Not much point saying what a gem this is if you don't explain what it actually IS! 81.159.61.116 02:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I have amended the text. It previously claimed that it was Jane Ross, the original transcriber of the melody, who used it for the song "Danny Boy". This was impossible. Ross published the music in 1855, and the Danny Boy lyrics were not added until ca. 1910. It is not clear if the melody originally had any lyrics, but if it did they probably were in Gaelic or some other local language. Sussmanbern ( talk) 04:43, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
An anonymous editor is edit-warring my perfectly valid edit to list the sports teams in order of prominence. Limavady United FC is a prominent football team, playing in the second tier of national football in NI. Limavady Cricket Club is similar. Unless Wolfhounds GAC are of equivalent standing (i.e. among the top 20 or so senior clubs in Ulster), they do not deserve to be listed above either of the other teams.

The infobox gives Limavadie as the Ulster Scots version of Limavady. Have we any reliable sources to support this? ~Asarlaí 20:46, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Please look at the following links for proof that people other than google call it Binevenagh ...
But the local Council and others refer to it by its proper name Benevenagh

We all know Limavady is the drug capital of northern ireland and is basically only still surviving because of the local drug economy. http://www.derryjournal.com/county/Major-drug-dealers-in-Limavady.6146135.jp So perhaps this should be added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.1.221 ( talk) 17:32, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
The tag i inputted into the townlands section about original research is to do not with the Irish origins of the townlands or the names of places. Heck if i disputed that i wouldn't spend half my time adding sources and derive tags to Northern Ireland places. Its about the unsourced claims of what townlands constitute Limavady.
However the introduction is bogus. Not all townlands are derived from Irish. The townlands of Whitehead, Randalstown, White Abbey, White House, Gracehill, Hightown etc. etc. etc. are all English and as the names and boundaries of Irelands townlands was drawn-up and defined by the English administration around the Plantation time. The townlands of today were created by the English, they were only based on (and mostly named after) native land divisions which weren't all the same (i.e. bailes, tates or ploughlands). A link to the townlands article would be more than suffice that the controversial introduction added in without sources to back it up. Mabuska (talk) 23:05, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Eh the vast majority of townland names come from Irish. And the English may have redefined townland boundaries but the townland system is much older and native to Ireland, it does not exist in Britain or Continental Europe. Why would you try to downplay that? /info/en/?search=Townland
