• 01:5201:52, 14 September 2023 diff hist −20 Kingdom of Prussia →1871–1918: Peak and fall: Removed the phrase "sealed with a golden braid". Apart from being an unnecessarily flowery metaphor, it appears to have been lifted from Britannica, where it's used about another pre-WWI alliance (between France and Russia). Even there it's slightly jarring but that usage makes a little more sense as the Franco-Russian alliance was sealed by financial inducements (hence "golden"). Here it's a bit of purple prose that doesn't seem to add much.

The sources cited here (Webster's etc) clearly refer to it as "Gaelic". If there are sources attesting to "Irish Gaelic" then let's consider them but do we really need a third name? Tag: Reverted

• 22:5522:55, 27 September 2020 diff hist −29 Irish language Removed POV, which was unsupported by the sources provided (in fact directly contradicted by one of them). Wikipedia is not prescriptive, nor does it opine that respected dictionaries such as Websters and the OED are "incorrect". Its purpose is to reflect what they say. The question of whether Gaelic is "correct" is discussed later, with both sides reflected, and is clearly too long for the lead. If anyone else wishes to weigh in could they please follow guidelines and raise it on the talk page.

Whether the term Gaelic "should" be used for the language is a separate question, dealt with later in the article. That the term IS in use for the language is not in dispute and has been extensively documented, both in the lead and later. Tag: Undo

• 21:3321:33, 1 October 2019 diff hist +1 Incel Fair enough but let's put misogyny first as it's a much more prominent feature. Also, can we get a better reference for misanthropy because hatred of society is not the same as hatred of mankind in general. (Lots of people hate the former but not the latter, eg Marx etc). It seems to me that incels are very specific in their hatreds. I'll leave the reference for now but at the very least we can improve on the source.
