Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~.

And as suggested by Alai on the Gaelic Traditionalism talk page, I'd recommend reading WP:VERIFY in order to better familiarize yourself with what sources are and are not recognized as appropriate for sourcing Wikipedia articles. Please note that blog entries and personal websites are not generally seen as solid enough sources. --Martin MacGrath 05:11, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


Okay, thanks for the tips, guys. User:Croman_mac_Nessa 01:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

If you'd like any further pointers on the maze of twisty wikipedia policies and guidelines, or otherwise, do feel equally free to drop me a line. Alai 03:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ivernic

(Continuing here) Indeed, now I see what you mean. Yes, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ivernic language has quite extensive quotations from your work which will turn up on google. I can quite easily keep them out of google's greedy robotic grasp, if that would help. Let me know. You can leave a note here, or on my talk page, whichever is easier. Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

And, of course, the offending paragraph should be rewritten and your work credited as a reference! Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay, good enough. Many thanks. Croman mac Nessa 00:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I notice when I go to the Primitive Irish Language article (or when I go to the link for "Ivernic Language" which redirects to the Primitive Irish Language article), even on another computer which hasn't been there (and so does not have the older version in its cache), that the "citation needed" link is still present and that my article is not included in the references. After refreshing, it appears as I have edited it, with the link to my article in the body of the text and my article included in the references. Will this be resolved any time soon?

I also notice, apparently due to the GNU Free Documentation License, that other sites (like About.com and similar sites) have sometimes taken entire articles from Wikipedia and reproduced them on their own servers. There were a few such sites which had used this article on Primitive Irish Language. Do you know if they update those on any sort of regular basis? (This is a legitimate concern, but I'm primarily doing this addition to my talk page to see if my new signature is working).

[edit] Mórrígan

Hi! I saw your comment at Talk:Morrígan that "Both spellings 'Morrígan' and 'Mórrígan' appear in Old Irish." This would be really useful information to add to the article. I wonder if you could cite some of the sources for this, or even better, cite a reputable book or article that makes this observation. I don't know the source material very well myself, but would be very pleased to add this to the article if you could furnish the citations. I've left a comment to the same effect at the talk page there. Best wishes,  Fuzzypeg  talk  23:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
