Fair use rationale for Image:SeanORiada33.gif[edit]

Image:SeanORiada33.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"a much more accurate account"[edit]

Is it just me or does this sentence seem a little odd: "A much more accurate (indeed the above account includes many fallacies) and detailed account of the early years is given in Dr. Tomás Ó Canainn's biography of Ó Riada." Now I unfortunately don't know anything about this guy but I'm thinking Wikipedia articles in general probably shouldn't purposely include false information and then advertise that fact. Now it's possible someone just added that sentence for kicks, I don't know.--Lairor (talk) 16:27, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm reading said book presently and I don't notice any fallacies in what was said. 86.46.129.64 (talk) 15:43, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This entire article is studded with deliberate inaccuracies and in-jokes -it would make a wonderful Uncyclopedia article and is an illustration of why Wikipedia has a long way to go in it's editing and proofreading standards. It badly needs rewriting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tumadoireacht (talk • contribs) 16:39, 17 September 2010 (UTC) Tumadoireacht (talk) 16:51, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Correct Spelling of "Ceoltóirí Cualann"[edit]

There is no séimhú on the C of 'Cualann' here, so it's "Ceoltóirí Cualann", and not Ceoltóirí Chualann, check the record cover!: http://www.mustrad.org.uk/reviews/o_riada.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.232.124.210 (talk) 05:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Chualann" is grammatically correct. Hohenloh⁺ 20:38, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Better sources than Wikipedia, sorry."[edit]

For my vote, much better biographical details are available on these pages: allcelticmusic.com Bio. and Encyclopedia.com entry. maybe someone could bring some of their details in to this entry. Boaby (talk) 20:07, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ballyvourney v. Cuil Aodha[edit]

The article makes heavy weather of his move to Ballyvourney and not Cuil Aodha, "a common misconception" (?). It ought be noted that by walking to the end of the small village of Ballyvourney, and then turning left at the corner shop opposite The Mills Pub, Cuil Aodha is just a short walk up the hill. Hardly the same as being accused of settling in LA, when you actually moved to Sacramento. Hanoi Road (talk) 23:18, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
