A Dearth of Sources[edit]

I put together some info from 1) a couple of websites (however, the contents are all suspiciously similar to what the Shannon Heritage site has to say) 2) other wikipedia pages (also from the German version). Unfortunately, a couple of these other wikipedia pages were not clearly sourced (to put it mildly), either. My books on the architecture and history of the region are all in Ireland and I won't be able to get my hands on them for a while. If anyone has access to sources that confirm or contradict what I put together, please feel free to add.

The Kinvara wikipedia entry has some additional information on who actually built the castle, but this also lacks citations...

Why wouldn't Shannon Heritage be a reliable source? As long as we avoid any promtotional POV language, I doubt that they've just made stuff up. Don't they have paid historians on staff to manage and promote their historic properties? postdlf (talk) 16:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean they are an unreliable source at all. However, a number of other websites contained the same information - in some cases verbatim - as the Shannon Heritage one, i.e. they offered no additional substance. And given that they apparently draw on one single source, the content IMO is not as well established as if it had been independently noted at various sites. None of this appears very controversial to me, anyway.Drow69 (talk) 14:28, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo to include?[edit]

This photo was "highly commended" (one of the 10 best Ireland photos) in Wiki Loves Monuments 2018. Is it worth using in the article? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 23:53, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I took the photo myself, so do not want to just add it to the article without checking here (but if consensus is to add it, I will). Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 14:49, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
