I don't get it. Not one single person is claiming it is anything other than the IRA. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 15:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

• Who don't call themselves terrorists. If you want to use "terrorist", you have to get someone else to say it, and attribute it to them. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 15:46, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

• Ah, point taken. Is the IRA acronym well enough known for the title? Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 15:50, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I think that's a given, but who says it's the IRA should be how it's done. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 15:53, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for making the title even longer, but an unqualified "IRA" is almost always taken to refer to the w:Provisional Irish Republican Army, whilst the people claimed to be responsible here are splinter groups of that. I know the eTaiwan source uses "IRA", but they also have "NIreland" in their headline! the wub "?!" 16:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I really wish I'd just called them dissidents in the first place... Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 16:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Nah. With the new title we get to associate them with the American Republicans. :P --Brian McNeil / ^talk 16:40, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, dissidents is good but I didn't want to look like I was copying the BBC! the wub "?!" 16:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
