[edit] Newport-Annapolis
The Newport page claims that it and Annapolis, MD are sister cities (not twin towns). Confirmed by the directory at Sister Cities International. —Serein 15:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] People in Northern ireland are usually British!!!
I find this remark somewhat bizarre in light of the war which has existed over this very question for so long. Clearly that is a Point of view which has cost many thousands of people their life. I would suggest you also look at the discussion page on another aspect of the issue:
Black:Derogatory term for Protestants used mainly in the north of Ireland but also to some extent in the rest of Ireland. May have several origins , perhaps from the Royal Black Preceptory. A protestant fraternal organisation founded in 1797 , 2 years after the Orange Order. It's seen by many as a progression for the Orange Order although it is a seperate organisation.
May also come from the Irish Gaelic habit of appending black( in Irish dubh) to anything considered bad. Garda Dubh (Gaelic for the RIC forerunner of the RUC)

I'm sorry if I offended you as I had no idea about black being offensive in Ireland. What are Black Northern Irish people called?
Do not worry, you were not being offensive, but it was just that it would have been better to discuss matters on the talk page, rather than just reverting things. As regards "Northen Irish people", it is hard to see how far this goes beyond being a football team.Harrypotter 11:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monmouth
Even if the party's campaign is significant, which I doubt, we don't need to spam their campaign page. Guy (Help!) 23:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed the link to their page. I feel it is notable that a political party are contesting outside of their own nation as this is pretty unusual. Marky-Son 23:35, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
