Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Brigid of Kildare, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Applies also to other articles. If you don't like the content, or don't believe it, you can add a 'citation needed' tag, but you can't just remove content you don't like. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 22:44, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand but why do some pieces of content get removed without evidence to back their claims up while others only get the citation needed mark. I find Gerald of Wales claims unreliable, fringe and biased against the Irish. He is the only source to say the sight of St Brigid's monastery was a pagan temple while other sources never mention this and he also wrote negatively about the Irish before so may have been attempting to challenge Ireland's reputation as a holy nation 84.203.148.201 (talk) 23:17, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, the question is why are you removing referenced content and in some cases inserting your own point of view, without adding any references? We go by what the sources say, and don't remove content because WP:IDONTLIKEIT. You can find Gerald of Wales unreliable all you like (I tend to agree with you, as it happens!), but he's far from the only source, as a very quick google demonstrates. This isn't the place to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 01:07, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sight? You mean site? Well, Gerald certainly was biased against the Irish, but Bastun makes a valid point, and, eh, "Ireland's reputation as a holy nation"--well, that's hardly neutral. Drmies (talk) 01:56, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It says it in all our tourist literature and marketing for old monastic ruins, the Book of Kells, and Croagh Patrick, it must be true! :-) Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 10:39, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:58, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could have just said [citation needed] 84.203.148.201 (talk) 23:01, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
