[edit] Saint Patrick
2006 review
Seeing as Saint Patrick is our (the Irish) Patron Saint, I think it would be fitting for this article to achieve featured status. I think the article is quite good, but I know there is more information out there, and I know it can be fine tuned. Please help Saint Patrick out, he would have helped you.

- I don't think Death: A Contentious Date is a good section title. Also, I'd like to see a reference section. Computerjoe's talk 18:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- This article is very thin and needs references. Before that, there isn't much to comment on. Staxringold 23:37, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- Agree, I would suggest that the external links located in the article be converted to WP:FOOTNOTEs. AndyZ 20:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
I've tarted up the historical parts of this. At the moment it's a bit misleading regarding the Two Patricks theory, and I saw that John Koch had published a paper on an early 5th century date for Saint Pat. Not having access to that, I haven't included it, so it goes with the late 5th century dating of Frank Byrne et al. If someone fancied writing a bit on Saint Pat today, and on the Bethu Phátraic/Tripartite Life, there would be a good chance of having this pass as a featured article.

2007 review
There has been quite a lot of work done to Saint Patrick since the last peer review, and the article has been fairly stable for a while, so this seems like a good time to ask for a review. What needs added, removed, rewritten, referenced,...? Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:12, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I thought the article is so good that I have put it forward as a Good Article nomination, and as a candidate for featured article with the Portal:Saints. The article is rich in academic references but they are unusually interesting. My only suggestion is that the preamble does not fully assert his notability; the impact of converting the Irish to Christianity had an important consequences for the spread of the monastic establishments during the Dark Ages is highly significant from a European perspective. --Gavin Collins 10:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
