The article is well written and the sourcing mostly fine (more later), but you are missing an archecture section, that could maybe similar to that in Kilcrea Friary. Am traveling atm, but could add from Keohane next weekend...I think you have this book also? Ceoil (talk) 04:19, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

May be helpful for this: Mooney, Canice (1957). "Franciscan Architecture in Pre-Reformation Ireland (Part III)". Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland. Ceoil (talk) 04:22, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi, thanks for taking a look at this. Yes I actually had the exact same thought yesterday, and as I was passing, I stopped and got a booklet for the friary which I've just used to start the architecture section. I'm going to mine the booklet, and then I'll turn to the Keohane which I do indeed have in my possession. Xx78900 (talk) 08:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Great additions, and will get back to the review over weekend. Kinahan and Crowley both have harv reff errors. Also, the lead seems disproportionately small compared the body of the article...maybe beef it up. Ceoil (talk) 03:15, 21 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • whose feast day was celebrated down to the seventeenth-century. - from when, and should "down" be "until".
  • The friary is a National Monument in State Care (#21) and its RMP (Record of Monuments and Places) number is CO123-050002-.[4] It is listed as a discovery point on the Wild Atlantic Way.[5] - not very appetising....#21 & CO123-050002 are jarring numbers and best left for infoboxes. Say why its a "on the Wild Atlantic Way". Or maybe praise it o its merits and not assume the reader knows what the Wild Atlantic Way is. Ceoil (talk) 05:08, 21 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
    I've redone the lede section. I removed the bit about the 17th-century - it was there before I started editing the page and I never adjusted it. Unsourced and I unnecessary. I removed the numbers. I left in the Wild Atlantic Way, because I think that point of information has merit, but I didn't explain what the WAW is. Not because I think it shouldn't be explained, but I couldn't think of a concise way of doing so, without derailing the entire sentence. It's a hard thing to define - "on the Wild Atlantic Way, a coastal route encompassing the west coast of Ireland and marked with various points of interest" seems like... a lot. Thanks.

As a post script aside, think you made a good choice re the Wild Atlantic Way. Myself and my two brothers all married Americans, and when the in-law visit they all want to visit the "Wild Atlantic Way", its obv been a huge marketing success (vs the ring of kerry in the 80s), so its prob safe to assume general readers will have some knowledge or grounding.

Thanks for this - I’m going to be away until Monday, but I’ll implement those (and any further) changes then. I’m not the most in-the-know about Harvard referencing, we used MLA in college. What needs to change? Xx78900 (talk) 13:59, 21 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

PS re the cite errors, would suggest you request help on one of the technical noticeboards or from somebody you know is clued up in this area. No doubt, all you need is a 10 to 15 character string in the sources htlm to tell it to ignore the usual, default anchoring naming convention. But as I say, don't do cite templates and that stuff is double Dutch to me. Ceoil (talk) 00:36, 31 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
