I noticed your addition to Celtic toponymy and followed up the reference, hoping to add it to the Dunmallet article: but I can't see Dunmallet anywhere in your source. Did you add the wrong reference? I note that you said you consulted it on 28 March 2021: please be sure to check your sources on the day you add the content to Wikipedia, in case the source has disappeared or changed, and record the access-date so that people can see when you used the source. Thanks. PamD 11:07, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD:, Dunmallet is in the source by another name (Dunmallard). I will add the various etymological explantations for this name in due course. --JoeyofScotia (talk) 11:10, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've clarified the original post. Still puzzled by your "access date". Did you copy the ref from another article? PamD 12:12, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: I copied the reference from an article where I had used it previously.JoeyofScotia (talk) 12:13, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, it might be better practice if you quickly check that the web link still works and then add today's date. Then if it does disappear and someone's trying to track it down they've at least got a more recent target date. And if you check the link and find it doesn't work today, you can dig around in your area of expertise and track it down to its new location, or find an archived copy.

I’ve just noticed that in the last few weeks you’ve made fundamental changes to the relationship between

There is little consensus around Pictish, because it is only attested as a few hundred linguistic fragments. The thesis by G Rhys has been cited in the numerous subsequent works on Pictish language, toponomy, etc (including this 2020 example by Prof Katherine Forsyth, https://eprints.gla.ac.uk/222539/1/222539.pdf, who has herself produced significant material surrounding the nature of Pictish), and the implication of this is that the work enjoys a level of acceptance among researchers. --JoeyofScotia (talk) 19:48, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that’s the point: “there is little consensus around Pictish”. That’s exactly what our articles should reflect. But the edits you have made project the only view as being the one put forward in this PhD thesis. There’s no harm in putting it forward as one of the hypotheses but (and I have to say that a PhD thesis is not a strong source in WP terms) to categorically state it as the accepted position is factually incorrect and infringes the neutrality requirement of
