Gawain does include a headless horseman, the Green Knight is decapitated by Gawain before picking up his head and leaving. 160.111.253.31 (talk) 16:52, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Education assignment: Equitable Futures - Internet Cultures and Open Access
— Assignment last updated by SoyGabrielacantu (talk) 19:16, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Greetings, all! As part of my Wiki Education assignment, I have implemented a number of changes to this article. Firstly, I have removed a number of citations that are either no longer available or are of questionable credibility, replacing them with sources that I hope are more suitable;


 * Replaced link to https://www.scaryforkids.com/dullahan/ with https://books.google.com/books?id=t1cTDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT94#v=onepage&q&f=false


 * The original citation of McKillop, James A Dictionary of Celtic Mythology contains a dead link, so I have replaced it with a citation of the physical copy of the same book.


 * Link to Fox, David The Headless Horseman has become a permanent dead link, have replaced this citation with a link to https://www.scotsmagazine.com/articles/the-headless-horseman/


 * In addition to those changes, I expanded the Lead to acknowledge the pop-culture side of the article and moved a chunk of the paragraph under "In German Folklore" to book segment, as that information is more relevant to "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" than it is to German folklore. I also expanded several of the sections under the Description tab;


 * In Irish Folklore: added reference to the idea that the Dullahan is a manifestation of Crom Dubh.


 * In German Folklore: added information on "Der Kopfloser Reiter"


 * Added the entirety of the In American folklore and In English folklore sections. Due to earlier debates on the validity of considering the Green Knight an example of a headless horseman, I removed all references to the character from the top of the Description section and instead described him in the English folklore segment.


 * Finally, under "See also", I added links to the pages on the Green Knight and the Headless Rider urban legend.


 * If anyone has an objection to any of these changes, please let me know!
