The change that I made to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macha was to cite that the source that says the Macha fits in the christian mythos is most likely biased as he (Geoffrey Keating) is a Catholic Priest as shown by his own wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Keating, This is shown by this line "Having Old English ancestry, Keating held the political view that Ireland's nobility and natural leadership derived from the surviving Gaelic clan chiefs and Old English landed families who had remained Catholic"
p.s feel free to fix up my edit to make it look better i'm new to this
as a side note i would also like to note that in the christianization of pagan civilizations it was common for christians to appropriate pagan beliefs and traditions. Ireland has a long history of this
- You asked me why I keep reverting your edit. I do so because it's vandalism. You clearly don't understand what's written, and your edit doesn't change it to what you say here. The Wikipedia page you cite is not only an invalid citation - you can't cite Wikipedia pages to back up things written in Wikipedia pages - but it does not say what you claim. The paragraph on the wife of Nemed makes no mention of Christianity, is part of the same invasions tradition as the daughter of Partholon, and comes from the same sources, all of which were written by Christians trying to fit native traditional material into a Christian framework. Claiming that the sources for this paragraph are biased because Keating was a priest shows such ignorance of the nature of the material as to disqualify you from writing about the subject. Now stop it. --Nicknack009 (talk) 08:55, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
There i fixed it more to your liking.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Macha, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

[edit]
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Macha, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Looking at the notices above, it looks like you've talked to others about this before, and don't have consensus to do this. Don't keep trying to make this edit without engaging on article talk and getting consensus. You also need to learn how to properly WP:CITE sources, and use WP:RS reliable sources, if you want your edits to be approved and retained by the WP community. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 23:45, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
Sorry for the constant undoing of the edits I must say that it was spurred on by the attitude by the previous editor. I am very new to wikipedia editing, but as I am a big fan of native religions and especially ancient celtic polytheism, while searching through a number of celtic mythology pages out of boredom I noticed that a lot of them include a section of the mythology that it is generally accepted to be due to the christianisation of Ireland, without actually noting it on the page clearly which makes it very confusing when trying to get the context of segments of Irish mythology. So I wanted to do my first ever wikipedia edit, one that I thought could help clear that up, doing so poorly it seems （⌒▽⌒). On my last try i tried to link a page from A Brief Guide to Celtic Myths and Legends by Martyn Whittock in Chapter 5 that i thought would explain that, but id understand if that is not a valid citation. I dont know if you can help me with this case or what, I just wanted to clear things up on atleast one page, but my first interaction was less than pleasant so I appreciate your cordial responce CorbieVreccan, and if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated.Marinararara (talk) 08:18, 28 May 2019 (UTC)Marinararara
