Settlement names
Firstly, hullo and welcome to Citizendium. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
I noticed the changes you made recently to the Belfast and Northern Ireland articles. I wanted to get your thoughts on the subject. Although I created the article here for Belfast and included the Gaelic name in the introduction, I wanted to avoid mimicking The Other Place.
I also though that giving the alternative names in the intro was a bit unwieldy. However, I am very interested in the etymology of place names - I think it's interesting and important and deserves a separate section specifically for such a matter, or the etymology be placed in the intro to a history section. --Mal McKee 19:11, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
