bona vides definition edit
Etymology: Latin, literally, good faith Date: 1665 1 : good faith : sincerity 2 : the fact of being genuine —often plural in construction 3 : evidence of one's good faith or genuineness —often plural in construction
As such, it's use is at least as relevant and encyclopedic as the preceding sentence. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:02, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- Where did you get that "definition" from? Please quote a reference, which you have not done yet - you can easily try finding it in a Latin dictionary (but don't waste your time, because it isn't there). BTW, "its" in your sentence above does not take an apostrophe as a possessive pronoun. Hohenloh + 03:56, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Happy to oblige your request. It's taken from the on-line Merriam-Webster dictionary http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bona%20fides Why was definition written between quotes above? Did you imagine that I had invented the definition supplied? Did you, in short, doubt my bona vides? By the way, you disagreed with the comments of the anonymous editor on the Talk:St. Audoen's Church page ("I find inaccurate and insulting"). How ironic then that you should chose to correct my grammar given that editor's comment, "And lastly, there are those editors that patrol pages looking for their pet peeves; for some it is the misspelling of "its"".

Is this article even justified as an article? edit
Would it not be better as an additional section to the "Reformation in Ireland" article? Much material is common. Why should it have its own page? Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:28, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
