message: The nations cited in this article speck a 'Celtic' language. Very few of the people themselves are of Celtic descent. Fergananim.
:Most indigenous Europeans are of some Celtic descent, but the Celtic league and congress are based on culture and language in the recent past, not racialist criteria or DNA. MacRusgail
:: "Most Europeans" are certainly not of "some Celtic descent". Perhaps this indictates the need for a Critcism section in the article reflecting the arbitrary nature of the League?
:::This argument has nothing to do with this article, which is about the Celtic League and what it defines as Celtic nations, and what it defines as Celtic socio-political goals, and so on. As long as the article doesn't put words in CL's collective mouth or otherwise push a point of view one way or another about CL and its views, this is a moot discussion. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 07:01, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: These nations are not Celtic

message: "the return of ancient artifacts, removed by the French and British authorities to their own museums."
This makes no sense at all.  Scotland, Cornwall and Wales are British.  Authorities in these places are British authorities.  Is the author meaning to say non-Cornish English?  Removed to their own museums, does that mean removed to England?  Removed from where?  At the British Museum, many Celtic artefacts are from England - should they be sent by right to museums in Scotland or Wales?  
The line implies through saying Britain to mean England.  Therefore it proposes that England is not Celtic.  The basis for being Celtic is a Celtic language.  The artefacts are from a time before the current political divisions of Britain, when there were numerous other kingdoms.  Therefore the line in question is irrelevant and shows a militancy that reveals an ignorance in those that would see such action taken, and thus does a disservice to this article, unless of course this article is about a group of crackpots and thugs.  
What should be said is that artefacts from the Celtic period have been removed from what are now considered to be Celtic countries and are on display in museums in England, and that really annoys us because we have no life, so we want to get them back and then find something else to moan about.

message: Why is England not considered one of these nations? I know it's been invaded quite a few times, but the celtic routes are still quite apprent in England even today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.130.209 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: By "routes" I take it, you mean "roads". England is not considered one of these nations for two reasons. Firstly, it no longer has a Celtic language, unless you count Cornwall, and the CL doesn't consider Cornwall part of England, and secondly, the movement is partly to gain independence from imperialist states such as France. --MacRusgail 16:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: More to the point, whether you or I would consider England a Celtic nation isn't relevant to this article, which is about the Celtic League organisation and (intrinsically) what it considers a Celtic nation. PS: The anon clearly ment "roots", nout "routes". — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 07:01, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I tidied this article recently, creating fresh wikilinks, reducing the excessive linking to others, e.g. the  Celtic nations article, and removing unnecessary capitalisation. My edits have been reverted no less than three times, all without explanation. I'd like one.

replies: text: Maybe it's because you keep altering "Kernow" to "Kern" for some unknown reason.--MacRusgail (talk) 13:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Why do you keep shortening "Kernow" to "Kern"?--MacRusgail (talk) 15:28, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

text: So why do you keep shortening it to "Kern", what's the point of that? --MacRusgail (talk) 18:28, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

text: You should both refrain from treating Wikipedia like Usenet.  Lapsed Pacifist had a valid complaint regarding sloppy reversion, and MacRusgail had a valid complaint about sloppy editing. The simple and obvious fix would have been to undo the reversion but fix the "Kern" typo, and not call each other names. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 07:01, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unexplained reverting 

message: Might it be advisable to reorder either the various titles of the organisation ('Ar Kevre Keltiek'...) or the list of languages so that the languages in each match up? 86.140.193.129 (talk) 20:32, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Titles and languages 

message: I'm not happy with this has been a couple of clicks away from major country articles, like Wales. Does this actually pass WP:WEB? It should be up for deletion if not. Wikipedia is not simply webspace for everything out there. It has particular inclusion rules (see WP:notability, WP:not, WP:sources etc). Matt Lewis (talk) 23:23, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course it does.  This organisation has been around for decades, its main publication was edited by a notable Irish writer & political activist, and the organisation and/or its publications are mentioned in plenty of independent, reliable sources. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 06:18, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
