Thanks for your edits to Bárid. It's clearly a complex topic and all additions/corrections are much appreciated. Good work on Ragnall mac Somairle too which I read the other day and found most excellent. Retroplum (talk) 03:01, 23 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Retroplum. I know what you mean, the descendants of Ivar are a fascinating crew, but the never-ending recycling of names can be mind-boggling. You might like to check out Downham's Academia.edu page for sources: . Lots of good material there! She's actually got a book there (No Horns on their Helmets?). Good luck with the Dubliners. I'm wrestling with two at the moment Godred Crovan, and Domnall son of Muirchertach Ua Briain (for some reason the list of kings excludes him).--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Cheers for the advice, and good luck! Retroplum (talk) 15:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

SVG editor
Do you still have your svg edit software? on this image the mountain fades slightly starting at the right center of the shield, I think a white wash that fades from the center of the shield is still on for that layer. The guy you based your edit on uses that white fading as a way to look somewhat three dimensional to give a fake shiny look to his arms. It is in his oldest arms svgs. Can you take a look and see if you can turn that off? Write me back at my user page, please. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 20:07, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Laird of Duart
Do you have an accounting of who is properly called "Laird of Duart". Lachlan Lubanach Maclean, 5th Chief, was the 1st laird of Duart, it was part of his wife's dowry. Other souces names various clan chiefs as "Laird of Duart" or "Baron of Dowart", but the numbers do not correspond to succession from the 5th chief as owner of the property. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Duffy, Imar and a table problem
A Merry Christmas to you. This is intriguing, although it may mess up the tabulation a bit at Rulers of the Kingdom of the Isles as his exploits will co-incide with Thorfinn inn riki. More fuel to suggestions that what was going on in Man was not always true in the Hebrides etc. I am not sure which pages from Duffy (2006) are referred to in your above-linked edit, so could you either add this to the "rulers" table or give me a bit more detail so that I can complete this? Ben  Mac  Dui  17:50, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi MacDui. Happy New Year. Unfortunately Duffy didn't contemplate Orcadian power in the Isles at all. He was concerned about whether certain rulers of Dublin had authority over Mann. He simply said that since Ímar devastated the Ulaid on Rathlin he likely had control of Mann at that point. That's it. It's in a genealogical tree where call him king: "(K. Dublin, 1038-46, K. Isles, d. 1054)". So he didn't give any specific dates for the 'kingship' of the Isles (whatever that would have meant for Ímar). I wonder if Ímar's ability to direct force into Rathlin could be evidence that he had some sway in the surrounding territories, like Islay.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:02, 30 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for this reply and adding it to the 'Rulers' page. I am sure you are right about Islay and it adds a little evidence to my out-of-order ramblings at Talk:Kingdom of the Isles. Surely the main issue is that these academics need to get their priorities straight. Dublin has been done to death. Great place to visit of course but what could possibly be more important than figuring out the Uí Ímair relationships with the earldom of Orkney? All the best for 2015.

Art mac Cuinn
Dear Brianann, do you propose Cuinn anglicized is not Quinn? I would further like to understand your rationale for continuously removing the section that gives Art the distinct title as the eponymous ancestor of the Cuinn surname.

I agree that the reference is botched and have temporarily removed the paragraph. However, once I go back into the article, I will be adding it back in and asking for OrangeMike to take a look at what is there.

Ahnentafel-compact6
I don't know if you are still interested, but I have had a go a producing a conditional version of Template:Ahnentafel-compact6. It is not posted up yet, but details are on Template_talk:Ahnentafel-compact5. Regards. Bob1960evens (talk) 18:39, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I have now pasted it into Template:Ahnentafel-compact6. I works as a direct replacement for the original Ahnentafel-compact6, and works well if you leave out entries towards the right hand side. It is only when you leave out large chunks that the remaining entries are sometimes a little more spaced out than I would like. Bob1960evens (talk) 18:28, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment from Brianann MacAmhlaidh
Hi there,

i'm not exactly sure how this works, so this comment may be in the wrong place. I have received a message today asking me not to make un-cited ammendments to the 'Hethrington' page. I never did this and i'm not exactly sure what you're on about.

Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.124.199 (talk) 19:26, 1 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello. That's OK. Just ignore my comment. The reason why you got that message is because you're currently using the same IP address as a long-time vandal to that particular article. See, right now you're using 31.53.124.199, which he used on 30 December. The day before he used 31.54.97.150. Chances are the next time you use Wikipedia you'll be using another IP address yourself.
