Claim his name was Sétanta; wasn’t it Séadanta?

[edit]

Sétanta doesn’t sound right. Wasn’t he Séadanta with or without a fada. Frenchmalawi (talk) 08:53, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Séadanta looks like an attempt to update Sétanta to modern Irish spelling. The stories were written on Old and Middle Irish, and translations and scholarship generally follow the Old/Middle Irish spellings. --Nicknack009 (talk) 09:51, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nicknack009, why did you mention translations? Obviously I haven’t asked about translations. Sétanta isn’t a translation. There is no fada in English language. Are you saying that there is an old written document in Irish language where ‘Sétanta’ is used? Can you identify that document? Frenchmalawi (talk) 14:13, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. That's the spelling used in Lebor na hUidre and the Book of Leinster, the oldest and most important relevant manuscripts. --Nicknack009 (talk) 16:50, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Esoteric Birth Story

[edit]

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the birth section is just written really strangely? It's very clunky and hard to parse through, and a lot of details seem to have almost no meaning or correlation-- the two colts born to the mare are never explained as birth gifts to Sétanta, and it generally reads like a stream-of-consciousness rendition of his birth.

I wouldn't really know where to start editing it, or if other people deem it worthy of being edited. It may just be me too-- I'm willing to acknowledge I'm reading things pretty poorly, but this section just feels overly dense IMO.

The articles on Deichtine and Súaltam already have some better, albeit more brief versions of Cú Chulainn's birth story, that feel way less dense.

GA concerns

[edit]

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria because of uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. Is anyone interested in addressing that concern, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 15:57, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

good article though, would be shame to delete! Kellycrak88 (talk) 14:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Kellycrak88: WP:GAR is a discussion on whether the article meets the good article criteria. If it is delisted, the article will still remain on Wikipedia. Z1720 (talk) 16:02, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to find citations. --Chronicler Frank (talk) 21:37, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think all of it already have citation. Do you mind to take look at it once again Agus Damanik (talk) 15:19, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Agus Damanik: I added two cn tags. After looking at the lead, I think a brief sentence or two should be added about his cultural depictions. Z1720 (talk) 15:28, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
already done the lead Agus Damanik (talk) 16:04, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The first cn, is that the citation is the quote itself. Agus Damanik (talk) 15:31, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Thomas Kinsella (translator), The Táin, Oxford University Press, 1969, pp. 156–158 Agus Damanik (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Agus Damanik: Does the citation verify that the subsequent quote is "The most elaborate description of his appearance"? I would also suggest putting "— Thomas Kinsella (translator), The Táin, Oxford University Press, 1969, pp. 156–158" into a footnote. Z1720 (talk) 16:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i don't understand. In my opinion, it means the tain is the most elaborate description and it shown by the tain itself. Or did you mean we need citation that the Tain is the most elaborate one? Agus Damanik (talk) 16:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Agus Damanik: Yes. Wikipedia cannot state that the quoted text is the most elaborate description: that would be original research. Instead, a source needs to state that the quoted description is the most elaborate, and that source cited in the article. Z1720 (talk) 16:26, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find any resource that say most elaborate, but i find other reference. Do you mind to make it footnote, cause i don't know how. Thank you Agus Damanik (talk) 17:14, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
