Very confusing

This has to be one of the worst articles I've seen. After reading and re-reading it several times, I still have no idea how the NI number plate system works. It needs a much clearer explanation. 86.183.198.120 (talk) 08:15, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I actually found the article very clear and very useful. What aspect of it confused you? You have a full table of the prefixes and a history of the system. 2A00:23C2:4B02:C01:14D1:BED2:42B2:2261 (talk) 13:51, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The City of Londonderry

The City of Londonderry is one of two county boroughs in Northern Ireland that exist alongside the six counties, the other being Belfast. Since 1973 it has had no administrative significance, although it still has a Lord Lieutenant. It should not be confused with the larger City of Londonderry that was created in 1973 in conjunction with the 26 district council system. This latter City of Londonderry changed its name Derry in 1984. The car registration prefix "UI" pertains to the City of Londonderry as in the original county system. It never changed its name to Derry like the post-1973 district council did. Even though the six counties and two county boroughs no longer operate as administrative counties and hence no longer allocate the car registration prefixes, Swansea in Wales still issues the prefixes based on the boundaries, as per the Lord Lieutenants. 2A00:23C2:4B02:C01:14D1:BED2:42B2:2261 (talk) 13:28, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate or missing sources for national identifier

The sources relating to the national identifier, such as the code for Northern Ireland being "UK", the images of the UK banner without the Union Flag and the claim that flags aren't allowed on NI plates are either missing or inaccurate, i.e. the citations don't actually prove the claim being made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.6.147.114 (talk) 15:45, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
