Source of this text

Most of this text has apparently been taken verbatim from the Catholic Encylopedia [1] which is also mentioned in the links but not referenced as a source. The Catholic Encylopedia cites another source:

Irish Life in Book of Lismore; HEALY, Ireland's Ancient Schools and Scholars (Dublin, 1890).

The original author is apparently John Healy, 1841-1918, who was archbishop of Tuam (1903-1918). (Perhaps somebody who has access to a copy of this book could check this out; it appears to have been reprinted as ISBN 1410215555).

However, even if we are lucky enough that this is no longer a copyright violation because the author died more than 75 years ago, we should

verify, whether I guessed correctly, and
name the original author.

I just found a general guideline regarding texts taken from the Catholic Encylopedia. Following those instructions, I added a {{Catholic}} template to the text. --AFBorchert 07:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the statue of St. Finian in Clonard

The {{Infobox saint}} template referenced File:Clonard Statue St Finian Selection 2007 08 26.jpg, showing the statue created by Studi Nicoli in front of St. Finian's church in Clonard. (This has been derived from this picture where the background is to be seen.) This image was now replaced by the cropped version File:Statue St Finnian of Clonard (cropped).jpg without any rationale. These images in comparison:

original image with background
full statue
cropped image

I still find the full statue far more aesthetically pleasing and I do not see a good reason for a change. --AFBorchert (talk) 05:13, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
