Samhain - new regions
editI'm currently editing the entire article.
So far, I've only updated the table, but the changes are linked to Wikipedia files that themselves relate the towns and customs mentioned to their Celtic origins. I don’t understand why you deleted it.
In the rest of the article on Samhain, I will include more details with references, but that will take a few days. For now, I've revised the table, starting from the previous version but with more accurate information. I don’t understand why you reverted my changes, Asarlaí. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.34.110.137 (talk) 15:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Your edit was undone because you didn't provide any sources for it. Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability - it's one of the key policies of Wikipedia. You can't add something without sources and say you'll add the references later. So if you keep adding things without references, it will keep being removed by myself and other editors. – Asarlaí (talk) 15:39, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- The original one doesn't provide them. I did the same, with inner (wikipedia) links. You can click on each one of them and check them out as they support the information given. The link and source is already on wikipedia itself. The original board doesn't provide sources, references or any other reliable information more than that. 83.34.110.137 (talk) 15:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- The things that were already there are already supported by sources in the Samhain article. Whatever you put in an article's infobox, it must already be in that article, with references. Wikipedia policy is that it doesn't matter what's in other articles. Anyway, there are no mentions of "Samhain" or "Samain" in any of the articles you linked. – Asarlaí (talk) 15:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done as requested my darling ;) 83.34.110.137 (talk) 17:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Calling people 'darling' is rude... Anyway, Asarlaí, I responded on the Samhain page. Saw your tags but this stuff is so vague, I'd actually just kick it all off and dare someone to actually produce a source. Akerbeltz (talk) 13:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- All sources were provided together with new bibliography, references and further reading. Please pay attention next time before undoing someone's hard work. 83.34.110.137 (talk) 22:24, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- It’s curious that you dismiss the connection between Samhain and the Iberian Peninsula as “vague.” This raises the question: does your critique stem from genuine scholarly rigor, or could it reflect an ideological resistance to accepting that Galicia and other Iberian regions might share a broader Celtic heritage?
- The celebration of Samaín in Galicia is not a modern invention but part of a long-standing cultural tradition with striking parallels to Samhain. These connections are increasingly supported by a combination of genetic studies and historical research, which point to significant links among Atlantic populations. This challenges the notion that Celtic influence is confined to Ireland and Scotland.
- Your dedication to preserving the Gaelic Celtic identity is commendable, but one must ask if this cultural purism might sometimes cloud an impartial assessment of evidence. Could it be that broadening the Celtic narrative to include the Iberian Peninsula feels like a threat to the uniqueness of Gaelic heritage rather than an enriching addition to our shared understanding of Celtic traditions?
- Acknowledging this wider Celtic context does not diminish the distinctiveness of Irish and Scottish culture. On the contrary, it enriches the story of a deeply interconnected Atlantic cultural sphere. I encourage you to reflect on whether your resistance is grounded in academic critique or perhaps in an emotional attachment to a narrower cultural framework. 83.34.110.137 (talk) 22:42, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- You continue reverting edits on this article without providing a single explanation. Instead of working to improve the content or addressing specific parts that might be questionable, your actions suggest a reaction driven more by passion than by reason or a genuine desire to enhance Wikipedia. If you find elements lacking, consider refining or removing only what is unsupported, rather than dismissing the broader topic outright. Be cautious of letting zeal cloud your judgment—it risks undermining both your credibility and the collaborative spirit of Wikipedia. 83.34.110.137 (talk) 22:45, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- There is a discussion on the article talkpage about your edits, with a full explanation of why they've been reverted. Please reply there and stop leaving these messages on my talkpage. – Asarlaí (talk) 15:21, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
