This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Conor Heneghan (27 June 2013). "Someone has gone to town on Joe Brolly's Wikipedia page… with hilarious results". JOE. Retrieved 27 June 2013. Brolly endured a disastrous spell as a NASA employee during the mid 00s that ended in tears because, as Neil Armstrong said: "Brolly tried to hide his own shortcomings by criticising astronauts who were far more talented than he would ever be." [...] To illustrate the point, he once said of second man on the moon Buzz Aldrin that he "bottled it when the chance to become the first man on the moon came his way". [...] Brolly's prominence on the Derry line-dancing scene and his involvement in the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama, whom he has proclaimed as 'a genius, marching relentlessly towards victory'. [...] that 'although Brolly frequently mentions supposedly relaxed encounters with Obama, Obama has never acknowledged his existence, and responded by saying 'Joe who?' when questioned about Brolly's support of his political career'. [...] All in all, it's just some light-hearted fun at Brolly's expense [...] we dare say he'll have a good laugh at it if he ever gets around to having a look. Unfortunately, Brolly's page will probably suffer the same fate as the vast majority of Wikipedia hijack victims and soon return to normality

Replace County Londonderry with County Derry. First off the county in particular is more commonly know by that name. Secondly, he is a Gaelic footballer, so he would most certainly refer to it as Derry himself. In fact the football team he played for encompassing the county of Derry is known simply as Derry (or in Irish 'an Doire'), not Londonderry.

This comment is spot on. The county is called Derry, not Londonderry, and it should be changed as soon as possible. Seanfarren2000 (talk) 22:12, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Wikipedia has a compromise, and refers to the county as County Londonderry and the city as Derry. --Danski454 (talk) 17:22, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Ireland-related_articles#Derry/Londonderry - "Use Derry for the city and County Londonderry for the county in articles. Do not deviate from this merely because the subject relates to a particular side of the political divide". Alekksandr (talk) 22:54, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
