Not every proper name found on any inscription offers a link to a possible new article. Too many dead-end or irrelevant links obscure the ones that are actually useful to a Wikipedia reader interested in following up concerns that are central to the entry. Some discretion in linking is urged. --Wetman 19:13, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Suleviae
The distribution, etymology and the function of the Matres Suleviae differs from that of Sulis. It is incorrect to conflate them. --Nantonos 18:21, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
saya sangat terharu dapatdi beri kesempatan untuk melakukan edit terhadap subyek ini semoga kita dapat saling berbagi cerita diantara sesamanya, wlaupun saya sangata miskin pengetahuan semoga dengan ini akan menambah perbendaharaan diantara kita ok nanti aku akan membuat artikel salam dari anak indramayu —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 222.124.17.115 (talk • contribs) on 14 December 2005.
[edit] repetition
the last paragraph in the section about syncretism with Minerva and the first para in the section about the etymology of the name are duplicated. The two could possibly be joined to form a section about the name.--stib 10:28, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] generic abstraction justifiable?
The article begins with the assertion: "In ancient Celtic polytheism, the deification of spring-water, especially of thermal spring-water, conceived as a nourishing, life-giving Mother goddess." Since there is no inscription aside from the ones at Bath, can we delete this generic "deification of spring-water" as unwarranted? --Wetman 21:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. --Nantonos 11:52, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Any problems with editing a more cautious, less sweeping referenced version of this article? --Wetman 00:22, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Quite the contrary. (I've been preoccupied with a yet-unpublished overhaul of Celtic polytheism; but by all means, this article could use attention.) QuartierLatin1968

[edit] no contradiction
Celtic dedications to Minerva per se are common. I meant that it is not common to see pairings like Sulis Minerva or *Brigantia Minerva (or for that matter *Hygeia Sirona). Maybe the confusing part is calling them "Celtic dedications", but I couldn't think of a compact way of saying "dedications found in the (Romano-)Celtic territories of Britain and Gaul".
