Thank you for your contibution to Eagle Heraldry that I developed from scratch, using other published documentation. I know it is not your intention to appear as a vandal but please discuss your changes that you suggest in the talk section before getting into reversal mathches on others' work. In the subject matter of druid=celtic=kelts=gaul symbology using Eagle, it is well known that Druids /kelts /gauls used it as one of the four elementary signs of zodiac along with the lion, bull and spirit (man) since the time of St Paul in Anatolia and in Inishowen much before than which later got into Celtic christianity and all illumination work since then. And yet, I may be wrong and would like to find out more. Please discuss and I would love to learn further from you. Until this takes place, please do not revert. Thanks.

Yes it was a legitimate edit, looking at it now, but you had inadvertantly added a link to some sort of sound file which made it look like a test. It's quite useful to use the preview button before saving, then you can see what the page will look like. Thanks. David Lion-West 16:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
