There's some strange ambiguity toward the end of the entry. The year 952 was most definitely not the time of Oliver Cromwell, who was about seven hundred years later. I'm not sure how to fix that, though, because I'm not sure what the author was intending to say.

Recent page move edit

@Ériugena: I'm wondering if there was a particular reason for moving the page from just "Lough Gill" to the current title. There is the namesake lake in County Kerry, but to me the Sligo one is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and most likely to be what readers are looking for. Thanks, Declangi (talk) 23:28, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

I thought that it would be helpful in terms of resolving conflicts in article titles that occur when a single place name can be associated with more than one other place name!

Given that original names come from the the Gaelic language original versions ('Loch Gile'), and thus may differ from one another as a consequence.

I the case of the Gaelic version on Vicipéid, there are at least three lakes with exactly the same name, and when the county is linked to these names it ensures that the various language versions are linked correctl (Hopefully)!

Stay safe!Ériugena (talk) 11:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
