Is the Aberdeen City Website really appropriate?
[edit]Given that the subject of the article is Woodside, Aberdeen; is it really appropriate to say that its website is the official Aberdeen City website? I would argue not, because it is not a website that has Woodside as its primary focus, it is not a website about Woodside. There is not even a specific sub-section about Woodside.--ServeDotty (talk) 10:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Gaelic Name
[edit]Aberdeen city council have released a list of names of parts of the city that have Gaelic roots. Woodside is not one of them. Gaelic ceased to be the predominant language of the North East of Scotland, round about the 12th Century, long before the creation of the Settlement of Woodside in the 19th Century. There are parts of Aberdeen where the names have gaelic roots (see here), Tillydrone, Cults, Peterculter, Kincorth, and so on. Just because the Scottish gaelic for the word "woodside" is taobh na coille (lit. "side of the wood"), it does not mean that this should be seen as its gaelic name. From what I can see, this name has never been used. I will remove it.--ServeDotty (talk) 11:19, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
