This may be a bit picky, but surely its better to say "Romano-Briton" or something along those lines, as the Britons was the celtic peoples of wales, while the British is a later term for people from the UK of Great Britain? ] (]) 16:03, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

== Pronunciation of the name Pádraig in modern Irish ==
I know this is a minor issue, but I just wanted to point out that, in modern Irish, the pronunciation of the name Pádraig does not have a /dˠ/. The usual IPA transcription for <á> is /ɑː/ on Misplaced Pages pages, although it does not represent Ulster Irish's /æː/. So, a transcription that would be correct and accepted is either /ˈpˠɑːrˠɪc/ or /ˈpˠɑːrˠɪɟ/.
Revision as of 09:38, 9 September 2021
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Saint Patrick article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Saint Patrick was one of the Philosophy and religion good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
Harrison, Stephen (16 March 2018). "The Misplaced Pages Page for St. Patrick Is Surprisingly Good: Here's why". Slate. As Adrianne LaFrance noted in the Atlantic, there is no self-evident unifying theory about why certain Misplaced Pages pages are higher quality than others. But with its combination of primary sources, motivated contributors, and shared vision, St. Patrick's entry could be hinting at the magic formula.

St. Patrick's Birthplace, Place of Burial and Shrines
There is absolutely no definitive, provable birthplace or place of burial for Patrick. Surely it makes sense to use the term "possibly" along with suggestions of various, debated places of origin? E.g. "Possibly Roman Britain", "Possibly Roman France". On the subject of major shrines, surely major Irish shrines should be listed? (Croagh Patrick, for example?) Thanks.
I would propose eliminating the section outright, or, at least, adding a clear disclaimer that the opinion is not generally accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.102.208 (talk) 05:02, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
Checking the section itself it should either be made clearer that it only has a single source. One of the links is also now dead, I'm unsure how to show that on the citation itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubarr18 (talk • contribs) 17:14, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
I agree. The reinterpretation is pure speculation, unless credible sources are provided. I could just as well speculate that both stories are true - that Patrick fled his legal responsibility and in route was abducted by raiders, enslaved, escaped, returned home to England where he was imprisoned to pay his debt for fleeing his Roman legal responsibility at 16. But, merging fact with fiction is still fiction. Mjwilkin9 (talk) 20:44, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
