[edit] mergefrom Slane Hill
I believe that the Hill of Slane is better described in the context of the history and geography of the area around it. This is why I suggest merging it with the Slane article. This article is short and would not detract or overwhelm the Slane article, in fact it would improve it. -- Patleahy 02:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I second that motion. Merge the articles. 129.105.110.246 16:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I merged the articles. -- Patleahy 03:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] N2 to Monaghan, not Derry
While the road from Dublin through Slane eventually goes to Derry it is not called the N2 all the way. The road called the N2 which passes through Slane ends at the border near Monaghan. The A5 continues on to Derry. It is therefore more correct to refer to the road as the Dublin to Monaghan road. See the article on the N2. --Patleahy 15:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Slane GFC
An article on Slane GFC was speedy deleted.[1] The given reason is: "It is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject. (CSD A7)". I had the admin who deleted it copy the contents here: Talk:Slane/Slane_clg. Most of the contents was cut and paste from a copyrighted source so I removed it. I added some details to this article however I felt most of it was excessive detail for this encyclopedia. -- Patleahy 18:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Such a pagan site needed Christianization
The statement "Such a pagan site needed Christianization" is a point of view which is not expressed in the accompanying source. The Lewis quote explains that Christians may have chosen the site because it had an existing pagan shrine, however this is not the same as saying the location needed Christianization. -- PatLeahy (talk) 01:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Quite fair. Your edit is an improvement. It is still true, nevertheless, that the more prominent a pagan site was in culture or landscape, the more surely it was "covered" by a Christian overlay. Assessing the "urgency" is interpretive.--Wetman 07:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Street names
The article says, 'The four houses stand at the intersection of the two main streets in the village.' What are the names of the two main streets?? Culnacréann-(talk) 16:32, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
