Talk:Kevin of Glendalough

Transwiki
This isn't worth transwikiing. Most of this is useless chaff as far as Wiktionary is concerned. See Kevin, written from scratch. Uncle G 03:19, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)

Alteration
I aagree entirely that the old material was entirely unsuitable. The article is now, as all first name articles should be, about a person or disambiguation of persons known only by the name. I.e. if there are twelve people known only as "Bob," then the article Bob should be a dab, not an "article" on the folk fancies of what "Bob" means. In this case, I could find only one "Kevin (no last name)," and that's the saint. (Saints grab most of the first name-only articles, I suppose.) Now there should be no more transwiki discussion.

Nettles?
According to the traditional song, The Glendalough Saint, at least as sung by The_Dubliners, it was a lake not a patch of nettles that Caitlin was thrown into. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.61.244 (talk) 21:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

St Kevin's Bed
St Kevins bed is not a dolmen but a manmade cave in the cliff overlooking the upper lake Sensibleken (talk) 15:31, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Correct, dating from about 2000BC. and its unlikely that Kevin ever "lived" there.  So, change it ClemMcGann (talk) 00:19, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
