Created by Evrik (talk). Self-nominated at 00:55, 18 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Libredon; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

This meets most DYK requirements (date, size, neutrality, QPQ, refs, copyio check...). I just have one minor concern / question: is Libredon considered to be the grave of Saint James by everyone, or just some? I note that Libredon is not even mentioned at all in our article on James the Great. On a side note, I think we should link that Saint from the hook. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:54, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: I'm not sure how to address the first point as this is part of a legend. I update the article on James. I updated the hook. I added the changes you recommended on the talk page. --evrik ^(talk) 03:20, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems good now. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:16, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"There is a belief that the location of the forest was located at the Oak grove of Santa Susana [gl], a hill in Santiago de Compostela that is part of the Parque da Alameda de Santiago de Compostela, between Paseo da Alameda and Paseo da Ferradura." – This statement is sourced to Santiago Turismo and Sociedad Española de la Camelia but I don't see any mentions of Libredón or the Apostle James in either webpage. Could you please clarify? Edge3 (talk) 17:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Edge3:Clarification made, fact cited. --evrik ^(talk) 22:14, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do think it's important to mention that this story is mythical, so I'm going to use ALT1: "... that according to legend, the tomb of the Apostle James was forgotten for eight centuries until found by the hermit Pelagius in the forest Libredón?" Edge3 (talk) 22:55, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Names?

Our article here says "in Book III: Transfer of the body to Santiago in the Codex Calixtinus, describes the journey of Theodore and Athanasius". But that article about Codex Calixtinus does not mention those names (Theodore and Athanasius) at all? @Evrik _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:50, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: I may have mixed up the sources, but here, it lists the two disciples as "Atanasio and Teodoro". I can find some other sources if necessary. --evrik ^(talk) 02:56, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Evrik I am not an expert on this, just wanted to draw your attention to this - I think the names should be added to the Codex... article if correct. Some other thoughts: the grave / forest (this article) should be linked from the article about James the Great, the Saint in question. I've also added an ISBN and book citations here need page numbers. None of this is a DYK-level issue, but it would be good to do this while your memory of this article is still fresh. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:58, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
