Conflicting dates around the burning of the village

[edit]

In doing research for the burning of Abbeydorney I found two sources online about it, https://kilkennyarchaeologicalsociety.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/American-Comm-Letters-66.pdf (which is a primary source from Eugene Moriarty - it mentions the burning to have occured on February 9th, 1921) while another source I found, http://homepage.tinet.ie/~abbeydorney/book/burning.html (a secondary source which says it happened on November 1st-2nd, written by Tom Shanahan and mentioning Eugene Moriarty's house being burned.)

It is possible that there were two fires (and by some inquiring in my own family I might be able to find out if that was so) but I'd like to know how to deal with conflicting sources on wikipedia and what should be done. Riversting (talk) 18:35, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
