[edit] Merlin

That's not what I meant! I wasn't calling your edit vandalism. I was reverting back aways because of some vandalism that occured before your edit. However, I didn't restore your addition because I felt that while Myrddin is the Welsh name for Merlin, the modern concept of Merlin is actually a composite figure deriving from Geoffrey of Monmouth, who combined some characteristics of the figure Myrddin with stories of Aurelius Ambrosius. This confuses a lot of people, and I didn't want readers to get the impression that the later medieval character and the 6th century Welsh bard were explicitly the same. If you disagree, please bring it up at Talk:Merlin, I'm sure we can work it out.

Again, my sincerest apologies for the misunderstanding. If there's anything at all you need, don't hesitate to ask.--Cúchullain t/c 05:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Connecticut Yankee

I had the advantage that CYIKAC is available via Project Gutenberg. A very quick skim reminded me that the court portrayed by Twain owes far more to later, highly Anglicized versions of the Matter of Britain than it does to the more authentic earlier Celtic versions. --Orange Mike 13:37, 5 April 2007 (UTC) (an Irishman married to a Manxwoman)
