  • ... that the female saint Kakwkylla (pictured) may have originated as a misunderstanding of the gender of an Irish abbot? Source: "Åmark 1935, p. 362–363"

  • New enough, long enough, and thoroughly sourced by what appear to be reliable and in-depth sources. Taking foreign-language sources AGF as I don't read Swedish and I don't trust machine translations. Interesting hook, within rules. QPQ done. Neither spot-checking nor Earwig found any issues with copied text. The image is from the decorations of a 12th-century church (old enough that there are unlikely to be licensing complications) and the image itself is properly licensed. One minor issue: per DYK rules, the sentence that includes the actual hook (the one containing the phrase "may have originated due to being confused with Columba, an Irish abbot") needs an inline reference on that sentence itself; this can be done simply by copying the footnote from the following sentence. I know it looks stupid to do that, but it's the rule. But I don't think this is significant enough to block approval (if necessary, one of the DYK gnomes can do it) and otherwise, it's good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:56, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you David Eppstein for the review. Just to be on the safe side, I have now double checked the source and added an inline citation to explicitly show where the idea is derived from. Yakikaki (talk) 20:07, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Just for transparency's sake: I added a few more sources today and made some minor adjustments in the text. Nothing that should interfere with the DYK criteria, though. Yakikaki (talk) 17:10, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
