"He is the patron saint of two churches in Anglesey and of one in Aberdeenshire, Scotland;" Perhaps you could mention in the lead the churches he is patron saint of seems as there are only three?
"He founded a church in what is now known as Llanidan, also on Anglesey, near to the Menai Straits. According to tradition, this was established in 616." "A church" needs to link to Old St Nidans church really so the reader is drawn to tp that particular church initially, even if wikiliked further down.
Article looks fine, having done some work on Welsh saints myself I know how the dates are often muddled with some sources saying they died many years before others say they founded something or went somewhere, such early history can be pretty uncertain but I think you've managed to compile something reasonable on this. No images of him available?♦ Dr. Blofeld13:55, 21 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your prompt review and kind words. No images that I've found anywhere, alas. I'm always amused when I see the talk pages of articles about medieval saints that say "Photograph needed"... BencherliteTalk14:16, 21 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes indeed, the likelihood of them turning up for a photoshoot...
