Not a big deal just a move not done properly as per Wikipedia:Moving a page. This page was created by copy and pasting text from Ulster Scots Canadians and from this edit from Scotch-Irish American. I dont think the move to a new title is a problem but we have lost all the page history. I have reverted the edits to these two pages till we can get some admin help in fixing the " cut and paste moves". The term " Ulster Scots" is not used often anymore in Canada and I support the move the new editor was trying to do.... thus why I am asking for help for the new editor. -- Moxy ( talk) 03:23, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
I know this has been a huge issue on the Scotch-Irish American article and talk page, so I'm genuinely not trying to pick a fight on the issue. (For the record, I am an American of partial Scotch-Irish descent, and self-identify as such.) But I have to wonder if Scotch-Irish Canadian is really the more common term than Scots-Irish Canadian. For comparison only, a quick Google search shows the first 30 hits for "Scotch-Irish American" refering to the people group, while most of the first 30 hits for "Scotch-Irish Canadian" refer to alcoholic drinks. The only source in the article refers to Ulster Scot Canadians, but that is probably to be expected, as the source is the BBC. At this point, we have no reliable sources for Ulster Scot Canadian being a less-common term than Scotch-Irish Canadian/Scots-Irish Canadian. - BilCat ( talk) 19:28, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
This article assumes Orangeism is synonymous with being Ulster Scots. The OO was founded by people of Huguenot and English descent and initially banned presbyterians from joining. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.252.128.81 ( talk) 17:02, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Why was this article moved from Ulster Scots Canadians to Scotch-Irish Canadians? Scotch-Irish is an American term not used in Canada, where the preferred term is Ulster Scots. In fact the only source used for this article uses call's them Canada's Ulster Scots.
I suggest moving the article per common name.
