[edit] Re:Iona Abbots

It's not the best of articles, though there are crapper ones I see you're also translating. :D Yeah, lemme get on it. There is a good source I'll post to you shortly. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 21:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Maybe not the best, but I have expanded it somehow. I am looking forward for your source. --FinnWiki (talk) 21:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright ... it's this. It's listed in the article as a source, though it was only used to expand the list that was available in the other source. Both sources are highly reliable. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 21:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll look into it. Do you plan to update the English article? --FinnWiki (talk) 22:12, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't plan on improving it any time soon. When I did it I was only interested in making a list, and really only for the abbots between Columba and Adomnan. I will change the format (to this type) and improve the information at some stage. I'll need access to more sources before I'd even consider putting lots of work into it, particularly Herbert's Iona, Kells and Derry. Atm I'm not a proper wiki editor anyways, as I can't devote too much time to anything. On the Brough of Birsay image ... I used to have a crap picture of this, but looking there I can't find it. I wonder if those stones could count as 2-D art, at least if one focuses in ... em ...? Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 00:04, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
