Hi Craig, One question: IIRC, WhiteOak defines themselves as both Reconstructionist and Neo-druidic. I'm just trying to decide which category the group best fits into, for WP purposes. This may not be easy to answer, as they seem to straddle categories. But we may have to actually pick one. Thoughts? ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 21:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Kathryn, thanks for the welcome. As you've already pointed out, selecting one category is going to be a problem. I think there are good arguments for placing WhiteOak in either camp so to speak, my feeling is that WhiteOak currently sits more within the Celtic Reconstructionist camp, as WhiteOak has more in common with say IMBAS than say OBOD.

I appreciate that there are fast becoming so many seperate subgroups within the broader umberella terminology and the difficulty a project such as WP will face long term in dealing with catergorising groups. Not sure I answered your question there.... :) -- Mhaille21 02:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Response

Ah, well could you think of an alternative, maybe "the tribes in what is now known as Scotland" perhaps? = Yorkshirian (talk) 06:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Have changed it to "with the tribes in what is now the lowlands of Scotland on the other side", which ignores the lack of Scots in Scotland at the time, but conveys much the same message. -- Mhaille21

Brigantes

I'll have to look it up sometime this week, my Brigantes book is in a box somewhere. I'm not sure that it actually elaborated much in regards to how the mask was used other than it being a "theatrical mask", but I'll double check it. Should really use the book to overhall the article and get some more info added about them in general. Thanks. - Yorkshirian (talk) 17:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Joseph edit

Thanks for the addition (Judah/Judas). I appreciate your thoroughness. I reworded to take the parenthesis out. Regards, Shamanchill (talk) 04:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Does "by a close associate named" work in the context to both? One is a disciple (spiritual brother?) whilst the other is a sibling. Mhaille

I think so - I can't think of another way of stating the relationships in both cases apart from that. If you have any suggestions, please make them. It's more the betrayal and similarity of names that's the concern, though, rather than the form of the association. Shamanchill (talk) 00:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Order of Whiteoak

I have nominated Order of Whiteoak, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Order of Whiteoak. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. dougweller (talk) 15:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
