Ardboe, Moortown and Ballinderry are 10 Miles away from Cookstown in reference to the Devil's own. Ddevlin79 11:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move

The result of the proposal was move. Andrewa 19:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC) They are all fucking cow walaper towns no one in the real world gives a fuck about them Cookstown, County Tyrone → Cookstown — I would like the article name Cookstown to redirect to the town in Tyrone as this is a much larger and populous town than the other two 'Cookstowns'. This would follow the precedent of Paisley which is also a town in the UK which as Cookstown, has other towns named after it in North America but is shown automatically when 'Paisley' is typed into Wikipedia. I believe that typing 'Cookstown' into Wikipedia search should show the larger and more well-known town in County Tyrone, and should then have a link to the other small settlements at a disambiguation page. I hope this is considered. Thank you —AlexSloan 16:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Agree. If the other Cookstowns were larger, then Cookstown being a disamb page would make sense. But they're not. Belfast is comparable. Stu ’Bout ye! 21:06, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support - per nom. Reginmund 21:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support larger/more populous, presumably the first also. Bungalowbill 16:05, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History section
The history section is absolutely terrible. Most of it is pov and unreferenced. It doesn't read like a wikipedia article and is too long. Same could be said for the places of interest section. Think we should scrap the whole thing unless someone sorts it out? Derry Boi (talk) 14:37, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
