REMOVED - Mary Doherty is hardly a notable citizen —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.73.141.157 ( talk) 22:51, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
For those of us who don't speak any Irish Gaelic, can someone enlighten us as to what "local niggeer" means? 72.106.153.248 ( talk) 01:23, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
In the section on Buncrana history mention is made of John Newton a slave trader who came to Buncrana and Lough Swilly. This is a complete work of fiction. No eveidence exists that shows John Newton in Buncrana or Lough Swilly at any time during his life. This is constantly re-Instated when corrected. The editors who re-instated this fiction have no connection to Buncrana or any understanding or knowledge of local history here in Buncrana. If these self appointed “editors” can show one credible piece of evidence for John Newtons presence in Buncrana I will happily let them have their history on the Buncrana wiki page, otherwise leave it to local historians like us to maintain the truth.

There is no evidence that John Newton was ever in Lough Swilly. He never set foot in Buncrana. You are perpetuating a myth. This is not a part of Buncrana History. Slavary ghost ( talk) 21:47, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
If the editors can find one solid piece of evidence that John Newton was in Buncrana I will let the edit stand. The only sources cited are from amazing grace.ie and a report on their activities. This is not historical fact. Please don’t include this falsehood in the history of Buncrana. Slavary ghost ( talk) 21:54, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Also I had updated Buncrana GAA list of achievements in recent years yet, once again, people who have no knowledge of Buncrana GAA or it’s status in the Donegal league and championship have seen fit to remove it giving no explanation. Why is Buncrana’s history at the whim of strangers who (at best) have no understanding of our sport, culture and history? and may be deliberately perpetuating a myth to serve some quasi Christian agenda.
