Aoife/Aoiffe

[edit]

Hi, Andrea - I'm just wondering your source for your changes to the Eva MacMurrough article. I don't altogether doubt that a 'double-f' spelling would have existed, its just that I have never seen her name spelt that before and, as you probably know, is not how the name is spelt today (I'm even a little dubious about 'Eva', but that is another issue). --sony-youthpléigh 01:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frederick Lewis Weis

[edit]

Hi Andrea, can you please stop using Frederick Lewis Weis as a source? It usually seems like little more than spam, and an old genealogy book is not a good source for Wikipedia articles. Adam Bishop (talk) 08:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just coming here to say the same thing Adam already said. There are more reliable sources for the type of information you seem to find in Weis. If you are interested in medieval genealogy, the Medieval Lands project of the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy is avaible to everyone (=verifiable) online and uses sources (=footnotes), both primary and secondary, extensively. It is scholarly and reliable, though its format is hideously amateurish (in my opinion) and its usages are not indicative of typical English historiography (i.e. use of regnal ordinals, use of native modern languages, etc.).
