User:Kathryn NicDhàna/Notes to Myself

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Collaboration of the Week

Been too busy, both on- and off-line to note much here. Lots of anti-vandalism and cleanup. Some AfD work. Adding cites to a handful of articles.

Contents

[edit] To Do

Major cleanup on Celtic mythology and Neopaganism, additional sourcing on Celtic polytheism. Get some of these articles up to "good article" status.

Image for Irish people, per talk page.

Integrate LoC barnstar with text from talk page.

The rest of the Ogham articles, and font fixes (though not as important as finishing my own books).

Brigid's cross, Fand, Curandero, Durrus and District History, Luisah Teish. Have been asked to help with List of towns in the Republic of Ireland.

Should get started on Clann Eoghainn or Clan MacEwan, and Castle MacEwan, once we decide which version of the name to use Clan MacEwan looks most likely. For brainstorming: User:KathrynNicDhàna/Clan MacEwan.

[edit] In process

The graphic and proposed barnstar design.

Working my way through the individual Ogham articles.

Cleaned up, expanded and Wikified Other World. It's still a stub, but at least there's something to work with now. May add more folklore, tales, and stuff from MacKillop about time differentials. Oh dear, now it's a mess again. Need to help Spanish-speaking guy smooth out his translations, among other things....

Started shoveling out the barn on the Sídhe article. Still needs work, but hopefully what's there now is solid, and the weird, RPG-fiction-as-fact crap has been thoroughly scraped out. (Ugh. It was not pretty. And still need to check a lot of those links. Argh.)

Oh, the mess that is the Shamanism article. After months of no one doing anything about the flag I put on the horribly offensive Native American section, I hazarded a cleanup myself, deleting the really bad stuff, writing a new intro, and only using specific examples from Native cultures. Need to add additional, specific, examples; however, as I'm not an expert on the cultures in question, I will need to solicit input on this. The whole article deserves the treatment I gave to that section, though it will be a battle to make that happen; I know I'm swimming against the tide there and I'm not sure I'm willing to fight my way through the entire article.

[edit] Done

Cleanup, rewrite and sources on Celt#Celtic religious patterns.

Started Helena Moloney article. I believe this is my fourth started (after Harvest Magazine, Clootie and Clootie well).

More info and cites on Máire Nic An Bhaird (see CARN). Ditto for An Comunn Gàidhealach.

Sourcing and rewrite on Beith.

Templates: Members Template and pages for Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Members and template, cats and pages for Template:User ga-0.3 (heee!). Gaelic festivals template set up.

Irish sources on Clootie well and Clootie, cleanup on Fulacht fiadh and related pages. Major overhaul on Cailleach and Triple spiral, sufficient to get flags removed. Sourcing and cleanup suffient to get "unbalanced" flags removed from Celtic Wicca, Witta and Eclectic Wicca. The major rewrite and restructuring on Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh went well. Added pop culture refs to Sawney Bean.

Fairly major overhaul and sourcing on Manannán mac Lir. Got the ridiculous "Magick Astrology" article speedily deleted. Slashed the Newage misinformation out of the Celtic astrology debacle. Of course what's there now is only a stub, and will stay so until one of us reads those mss. If that doesn't happen soon, maybe it should be deleted or merged.

Did the same sort of overhaul on Beltane as on the other three festivals.

[edit] And...

Now that I'm over 1,000 edits, I want to know where my pony is. What? Are you sure? I heard you get a pony...
