This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

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.

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 /ˈpˠɑːɾˠɪc/ or /ˈpˠɑːɾˠɪɟ/.

Patrick and the Second Coming

Professor Elva Johnston writes, "The idea that Ireland is one of the last lands, at the very gates of the known and knowable world, underlies the writings of St Patrick in the fifth century. It has been pointed out that Patrick thought Ireland lay at the edge of the earth.49 He believed that his actions would usher in the Last Days; the Gospel had been preached throughout the world and the stage was set for the second coming of Christ."

I think this is a noteworthy part of Patrick's worldview and should be included in the article. Is this a common view in the literature? Even if it's contested it would still be useful to have the debate put in somewhere. ComradeKublai (talk) 03:18, 6 October 2022 (UTC) ComradeKublai (talk) 03:18, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
