2295:. Shetland Islands is used (as is - less commonly - Shetland Isles, and - somewhat archaically these days - The Shetlands), but Shetland is used very commonly. It is difficult to get an accurate assessment of how much "Shetland" is used over "Shetland Islands" as they seem to be sometimes used interchangeably in the same source, and certainly any Google count for "Shetland" will tend to include usage for "Shetland Islands" as well. However, if I Google "Shetland" I get over 40 million hits, while a Google for "Shetland Islands" returns around 3.5 million. Even taking into account that hits for "Shetland" would include hits for "Shetland islands" (3.5 million hits) and "the Shetlands" (1 millions hits) and "Shetland pony" (2 million hits) and "Shetland Isles" (.5 million hits), adding those together and taking them away from the 40 million for "Shetland" still leaves us with around 33 million hits. Which is fairly convincing that Shetland is the most common usage in a variety of sources. 1373:
reinstatement of the use of historically relevant place names throughout Scotland - which I concede cover a great deal of names on the Scottish Mainland. However, and this is not meant to cause offence, the point still stands that no history is being erased as there is no Gaelic history in Orkney as a significant cultural influence. To include the Gaelic title is to say that Gaelic is historically significant within the district. Which it is not. Knowledge (XXG) is supposed to give readers a truthful impression of the subject matter. As mentioned earlier, including the Scots Gaelic name in such a position is misleading as it gives newcomers to the topic an impression that the Gaelic name is somehow relevant historically or etymologically. The Gaelic name is a new incarnation and therefore based on all that has been said, I maintain that is should be respectfully moved to a less prominent position.
2958:.They don’t use this altname because they know if they did they would receive complaints – as indeed do we. Knowledge (XXG) has a duty not to perpetuate error as opposed to blindly repeating it. For example, although it is easy to find RS mentions of e.g. "The King of England" we don't embolden this word as an altname for the UK. Instead we have a sentence buried under "Etymology and terminology" that says "The word England is occasionally used incorrectly to refer to the United Kingdom as a whole, a mistake principally made by people from outside the UK." Something along those lines could be added here although the wording would have to be chosen carefully. 1475:
However, there is an argument that Orkney never had a Gaelic culture and went straight from Pictish to Norse reinforced by their names for the islands developing into the current name Orkney. Therfore I feel those names should be mentioned too despite the fact that neither language has any status in Scotland and are both dead. As a comparision look at how wikipedia handles cities in Eastern Europe like Lviv and Breslau. No point in editing warring - you will never all agree to one being mentioned and not the others
1745:. Firstly though let me thank you for the excellent way you have marshaled your argument and for attempting to resolve this dispute. I can't agree with your proposal as Orkney is currently administered as part of Scotland and a recognised minority language of Scotland is Gaelic. Therefore all places in Scotland should have their Gaelic name mentioned regardless that there is no historical record of the inhabitants of that area using the Gaelic name, inhabitants of other areas in Scotland would have used it 1609:'mire' and ‘’keero’’ meaning a small sheep. He describes Norn as “universally spoken" in the Orkney islands 500 years ago and suggests that Norn and Scots bilingualism was common for about 200 years up to the mid 15th century. The Scottish earls who governed Orkney from 1230 for about 100 years “for whom Gaelic must have been a first language” nonetheless received all official documents in Norn. The Sinclair Earls who ruled the islands from the mid 14th century were Scots rather than Gaelic speakers. 1598:. Other than a few place names I speak no Gaelic or Norse language. I value all of these languages and have no interest in marginalising one at the expense of the other. I have spent a very large proportion of my time here editing articles about parts of Scotland where the predominant language is now English but where both Celtic and Norse languages have been spoken in the past. I want to honour all of these cultures but do not want to spend the rest of eternity observing tiresome edit wars. 471: 1358:
the earlier point made about the existence or otherwise of a translation. Finally I have to dispute your claim of a cultural whitewash, firstly a whitewash means to cover or hide information adding a language that is a small part of the history of Orkney does not do anything to detract from the rest of its culture, and secondly as the above user makes clear in rather strong terms there is Gaelic history in Orkney and that to omit that surely would be the true whitewash.

language there but yet it is still prominently listed because the French is an officially recognised name with the same status as the English. This is the case with Gaelic in Scotland as per the 2005 legislation and therefore it should be included. As for other articles not providing a French name in the case of Canada this is because there is not a French name to use in the first instance in almost all cases (checking the French wikipedia entry will confirm this).

anyone to a significant degree. Scotland is not recognised as bilingual, it is recognised as multilingual with Gaelic being officially described as a minority language. There are far more speakers of Scots than Scots Gaelic. Using the same flawed logic as before, we should also have the Scots names too. It doesn't seem right to have a minority language being imposed on place names where it was never spoken. It smacks of cultural whitewash.
776: 755: 270: 405: 882: 864: 313: 2189:: The common names for these island groups are, as Ghmyrtle has said, Orkney & Shetland. This naming system goes back to medieval times e.g. the prelate was called the Bishop of Orkney and the senior priest in Shetland was the Dean of Shetland. The local earl was named the Earl of Orkney. The Orcadians and Shetlanders themselves never refer to the islands as anything other than Orkney and Shetland. -- 2320:, sometimes in tension, and "being more official" isn't one of them (which would simply lead to WP becoming tediously offici{{ous}} and using stilted language that doesn't agree with readers' expectations.

2206:. I've read and re-read what one might presume is a rationale for the desirability of the proposed change and it seems at best unconvinced of its own case, even actively opposed, leaving me at a loss as to why it was advanced. Orkney/Shetland Islands is certainly not more correct, so at best the change is pointless. Per the others, just Orkney and Shetland. 663: 525: 504: 729: 639: 2164:. This article title has been in use since 2006, and there seems no good reason to change it. The archipelagos are now generally known, in my (English) view, as Orkney and Shetland - not "Orkney Islands" and "Shetland Islands". I suspect that one reason the name "Orkney Islands Council" is still used is because the successor to 2892:"Authorities"? I'm not sure what you mean by that. Altnames are simply that - alternative names. They don't have to be 'authoritative'. It seems to me that you think a name being "wrong" in some sense means it can't be an altname. That's just not the case. "Holland" is "wrong" but it doesn't stop it being an altname for 3336:
Would we really be "perpetuating the use of a widely deprecated form" by simply noting that the islands are also known as the Orkneys? The article is titled "Orkney", it uses "Orkney" throughout, and as I just said, it already includes a paragraph noting that the plural is now becoming unfashionable.
2870:
I wouldn't call Winter Watch or Time Out 'authorities' on this subject myself. For whatever reason it is conisdered to be "wrong" in much the same way that we don't refer to "The Shetlands". It wouldn't be hard to find references to "Dublin City" or "London Town" which are also only altnames but they

They are ‘’iper’’, meaning

On wikipedia.scotland I'd absolutely expect to see names in English, Scots, Gaelic, and relevant local languages. On wikipedia.canada, I'd expect English, French, and relevant local languages.

I'm finding the argument for including Gaelic names to be quite odd. Knowledge (XXG) is an international site, not a Scottish one. I can see no reason why Gaelic should be included in the English-language wiki just because the article is about somewhere in Scotland, and Gaelic is an official language
1291:
I agree with motion to remove. Scotland is not the same as Canada. Canada has a significant percentage of people speaking French. In any case there are many places in Canada that only list an English name so the argument for consistency is debunked. Scots Gaelic name for Orkney has never been used by

I didn't say "meddling" and clearly that's not what I meant. I'm referring to IPs coming by and deleting "the Orkneys" because they object to its use.

I'm not sure they would revert it as puts in highlights that it is deprecated which (if you are of that mindset is no bad thing to highlight).

That's not comparable. "King of England" is factually wrong - wrong realm. "Orkneys" is a style which is deprecated, particularly by its inhabitants, because of the implications it carries not because it is "factually" incorrect (other than it is not accepted as the legitimate name). But even so, we

In short: A Knowledge (XXG) wiki is defined first by language, not by political entity. It is not up to a political entity to dictate which of its official languages should also be included. If the political entity wants to do that, they can instead create a wiki defined as belonging to that entity.
3480:
I am reacting "petulantly" because the current opening sentence is ridiculous and you are obstructing efforts to change it by appealing to users who don't exist. I moved the word "deprecated" to a note rather than removing it altogether because I thought that this would be an acceptable compromise,

As someone who lives in Orkney, the term "The Orkneys" is mostly used by folks who've never been here before, usually to refer to each and all of the islands as The Orkneys, which is where the plural comes from. Forget the etymologies of England or The Netherlands, they're unrelated. And yes, it is

I have to agree with Dr Chris Williams and the other users in adding the Gaelic name. Scotland is officially a bilingual country, even if Orkney as an area is not. Many other countries which are bilingual, for example English wikipedia articles relating to Canada prominently feature the French name

I read “today” as the day the reader reads it, whenever that happens to be. I would assume most others would read it the same way as WP is a constantly edited digital, not paper, encyclopaedia. But I guess your point is that it is unclear. There is probably a better way of expressing it but at the

Again, no one is denying that "Orkney" is by far the predominant name. I don't think listing the strong RS that supports that changes anything. The point that's being made is that there is still residual and current use of "Orkneys" making it an alternative - undoubtedly "lesser" in many ways but

Happy to discuss alternative wording of course - perhaps "old-fashioned" or "deprectaed" etc.? The Brittanica article's history is not clear but it may have been written by an historian writing about Norway 24 years ago. Recent books about Orkney, or which include the subject at length, but which

On what basis are you dictating that this informal RfC is only open to people who have edited the article in the past (?) or who have not edit "warred" since January 18 2018? There are several ways to interpret your restriction as worded. I don't think it is binding as consensus if you do that or

discussion about the article title. And that's the point - you're using COMMONNAME arguments. But that's not relevant to altname. No one's saying that Orkney isn't predominant. The question is: is "Orkneys" still out there in the RS as an alternative name? And iI've given 6 instances from the RS

2. In the section about the absorption of Orkney by Scotland I see two paragraphs that talk about the 17th century (which I inverted since one spans into the 19th century with "1830" so it should be the second in the sequence). I suppose the two paragraphs could be fused into a single paragraph.
1623:
If we stick with that guidance it seems obvious to me that the only alternate name that should be in the lead is ‘’Orkneyar’’, the Old Norse name for the island, which name was in use for centuries and which is still used occasionally today (see citation 1). The claims of Gaelic, or Old Irish or

On an English-language wiki, I'd rather see the names in English, and the names local people used in their own languages. If there is no local significance, I wouldn't want to see the names in French, German, Japanese, or Gaelic. These languages don't help my understanding of the Orkney names or

1376:
However, as a peace offering, may it be suggested that it is described in an 'other names' table within the etymology section. It would be very informative, and interesting to have a table showing the many names, their period of use and origin. This would give credit that there is strong Gaelic

Your stated reason for reverting my edit was that the wording I chose was likely to attract meddling. Since I made the edit, no one has touched the article but you. It was unjust of me to describe your reversion as a "drive by", but is it not fair to say that you practically fulfilled your own
1474:
Interesting debate. As an outsider and non involved editor I see it like this. Orkney is administered as part of Scotland and Gaelic has the status of a minority language in Scotland. Therefore a resident of Scotland who speaks Gaelic should expect to see the Gaelic name for Orkney mentioned.

To draw on other examples across Knowledge (XXG) of Gaelic being included prominently on the article one only need look at the entries for railway stations in Scotland, they all prominently include the Gaelic despite some servicing areas with little or no Gaelic speakers. This is a matter of

On balance, I would tend to side with excluding it. In Galway we have dual language signs in Irish and English because it's direct part of our heritage and it definitely seems that that doesn't apply to the Isles of Orkney. I think the Wiki page needs to reflect that. We need to respect the

I am struggling to understand what the real difference between these two examples is. King of England is deprectated/wrong although some RS's continue to use it. Orkneys is deprecated but the same applies. I've added a note to the etymology section per the UK article.
