Scotland

Hi, Monopingo - I'm wondering what's up with your removing mentions of Scotland from various Celtic and Gaelic articles? Many of the topics you're editing are part of both Irish and Scottish history, mythology and culture. I seriously don't think anyone is going to think one is being denigrated if both are included.

Please do not remove content from Misplaced Pages, as you did to Template:Celtic mythology. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 00:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Template:Celtic mythology, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 02:48, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Book of Lismore

It may be that I'm being unreasonably strict, but the Book of Lismore article seems to me to be too close to this. Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, currently it's hiding its light under a bushel. All that anyone will see on the page is a dirty great {{copyvio}} template. There's a fine big modern article here that could be paraphrased easy enough, and parts of the book are online at CELT and Lampeter University in public-domain translations by Whitley Stokes.

RE:Gaels

Misplaced Pages is not the place to change terminology. Old Scottish and Middle Scottish might be a legitimate potential phrase to use for the Picto-Gaelic spoken in early Scotland, but no-one uses these terms and that's simply that as far as wiki is concerned.

Why was Pictish mythology removed. I had a very good article on it, about 500 words. Doesn't make sense. Manopingo 23:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
