Talk:Lochaline

Redirection WHY?

C'mon, folks, who writes a page redirect without a single word of explanation on the destination page as to why? "Fiunary" does NOT appear on this page except for "Redirected from 'Fiunary'". That is infuriating for somebody who wants to know what Fiunary is. If Fiunary is an alternate name for Lochaline, who uses it? In what language, with what etymology, in what time period, etc.?

You can see the short history before the redirect from [here]. I'm not familiar with the area but it seems Fiunary is a wooded area with a few houses close to Lochaline. Perhaps someone who knows the area better can be more specific and then sort the article(s) out. JMiall ₰ 00:04, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's at NM615467. I assume it does not appear on the Lochaline page as it is inconsequential. The name Fiunary is from the Gaelic and means "white sheiling" but I can tell you nothing whatever about the history of this place. If you are inclined to research this and add something useful to the article beyond its mere existence, you are quite free to do so, but note that the original stub claimed it was a village, which it clearly isn't and that the map co-ordinates were wrong.
