- Indeed, the bureaucracy and goobledigook can make Wikipedia seem like a game of gnomic. I sometimes think that's intentional. If there's anything I can do to help, drop me a note. I'm just about fluent in wikijargon. Best of luck with Brigid. I had a little go at cleaning up Saint Patrick, but there's plenty to do in the field. I'm just an amateur at this kind of stuff.
- Most of the articles on early Irish saints aren't much more than cut and pastes from the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia. One quick note: four ~s produces your user name and the date/time. Saves a bit typing. There are various projects working in different fields. You'll generally find some banners on the article talk pages pointing you towards them. For saints, there's a well-organised project in full swing. Not so for early Irish history. Again, please do let me know if I can ever help.

Please file a deletion review if you have a problem with the way the AFD was closed (since that's where you go to contest deletion decisions). People still argued to delete after the article was rewritten, and I believed there was consensus to delete based on that. --Coredesat 20:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, citing consensus is doing my job, because AFD decisions reflect the consensus of those arguing in it. If you have a problem with this, just file the deletion review instead of protesting on my talk page, so that others can review the decision. --Coredesat 03:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
