Hello. This nice article states that the official name is Lindisfarne War Memorial, but the article itself is called Holy Island War Memorial. Is there a reason for this and does it matter? I don't know where one would find figures on usages? Cheers DBaK ( talk) 11:33, 27 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Historic England list it as "Holy Island" and Skelton refers to it similarly so I went with that for the article title, but as far as I know "Holy Island" and "Lindisfarne" are pretty much interchangeable. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:54, 27 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Indeed, and thanks for sorting out the consistency in the article. I suppose they are really interchangeable, though HI always feels more common in normal speech to me. If I say Lindisfarne it always feels as if I am being a little more formal, or trying to impress tourists, or something! Cheers DBaK ( talk) 23:40, 27 February 2016 (UTC) reply
