  1. For clarity's sake, please sign your comments using four tildes (like this: ~~~~) and preferably, use a subheading for your posts as well. That way people will be able to follow the discussion.
  2. I'm not an administrator
  3. Like I told you before, I responded to your question in the appropriate venue, which is the talk page for the article in question.
  4. The big sign above that says "semi-retired" implies that I won't be able to respond as quickly as I would like to. Regards, Cavila (talk) 14:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

st cummin artical. changes. hello cavila, you have put a completely different format in place of the original artical. why did you not just stick your stuff on to the end of the original artical instead of destroying it.i did post this comment in the appropriate venue [as you put it ]but you did not reply.[ user name pcummin.]80.254.146.140 (talk) 14:37, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay, Mr Cummin. See my reply here. Cavila (talk) 12:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, if you feel your new photos are an improvement, by all means go ahead. If you need any advice on uploading photos, Help:Files would be your first stop I think, or else post a question on the associated talk page. Cavila (talk) 13:34, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

st cummin. artical removed. hello cavila,the photos did not come out, the camara did not work properly. soon i go to the royal society of antiquaries of ireland in dublin, to get the number of the page which named st cummin the first, whitch you said i did not get. when i get it i will put it on the said artical, then you can check that it is fact. [user name pcummin] 80.254.146.140 (talk) 14:18, 26 August 2011 (UTC) Hello cavila,article cuimin of kilcummin,changes. in your article,cuimin of kilcummin,you state domhnach chrom dubh[in irish]or garland sunday[in english]then you state crom dubh was the cow,so was the cow named[in english]garland or sunday.can you tell me before i go back to dublin to get it verified. [user name pcummin]80.189.57.251 (talk) 22:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it does not say anywhere that Domhnach Chrom Dubh is a literal translation of Garland Sunday, which of course it is not. It is more complicated because the Crom Dub from which the festival supposedly takes its name is more commonly known, in traditions elsewhere at least, as someone who initially opposed St Patrick but was later converted by him. Just how the two relate to one another I don't know, but there's more to find in MacNéill's Festival of Lughnasa I believe. Cavila (talk) 14:25, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Cavila. Can you say to me why did you reverted this, as that sentence in not in the source presented? Thanks. -WhiteWriter speaks 12:55, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. There was indeed a glaring error in the chronological order of things, which I've just amended, with some expansion from the same source. Thanks for pointing that out. Cavila (talk) 12:07, 4 Novemb

hello cavila, you must have missed my last posting, so i will ask you again. what book did dub haltach mac fhir bhisigh write about st cummin. [user name pcummin] 80.254.146.140 (talk) 14:51, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I'm aware, Dubhaltach Mac Fhir Bhisigh did not write any text that specifically deals with the saint, but he mentions him in a long genealogical tract. This tract has been edited and translated by John O'Donovan a good while ago (1844). See the article for the reference. Cavila (talk) 14:58, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
