Welcome back. Strange that we would all have the same article on our watchlist! Ceoil, you are so funny! Risker (talk) 15:46, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Risker: as you've probably guessed, Filiocht was like a founding father to lith-orientated Irish editors back in the early days, when was I still lurking and only figuring out best way to approach this wiki thing... didn't want to rush in as the quality bar was already so high in some areas, even by 2004/2005.

Filiocht, sorry for taking about you in the third person, but do consider you and Geogre as part of a long-lost golden age of wiki. Best. Ceoil (talk) 16:57, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. They were great days all right. Bu then life got in the way. I suppose. I'm going to be much less present now. Filiocht2 (talk) 11:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems in life your gain was wiki's loss. To more prosaic matters, hope you don't mind this edit [1], made so there are no problems down the road re WP:COI; have toned down some of the language to keep with current standards, the current version of the bio is mostly as would have aimed for, as an admirer, if I had actually gotten of my arse during the last 20 years to transcribe the reliable sources. In other words, I'll try and grandfather the page through any COI issues; out of respect for your IRL and Wiki work. Ceoil (talk) 23:46, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've made one small edit, fixing a typo.

Do you think I should add a note on the article talk page saying who I am? Everything I've added is factual and sourced. Filiocht2 (talk) 07:24, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No need, I think everything re declarations is fine as it is now; and as you say it is all factual and sourced. Thanks for typo fix and happy editing! Ceoil (talk) 10:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
