A fact from Ruaidhrí mac Raghnaill appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 January 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,201 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The article currently states: "Ruaidhri's ancestors held Garmoran and much of the north-west Scottish coast until the early 14th century, when the MacRuaidhri heiress Christiana married Eoin of Islay, who took Christiana's lands and became the first MacDonald Lord of the Isles.(cited to McDonald, Kingdom of the Isles, p. 189.) I do not have this source, but every one I do have makes Amie mac Ruari John of Islay's first wife and calls her aunt "Christina" rather than "Christiana". BenMacDui 14:07, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Christiana and Christina are the same names (and its unlikely she ever went by either); variants come from Latin sources which do not have consistent spellings. Yes, two the heiresses have been mixed up here. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 14:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks - I was concerned, given the varying views on Clann Somhairle descent, that I might have had the ill-luck to come upon a minority viewpoint. BenMacDui 14:36, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
