Talk:Currach

message: The Curragh and Coracle are very similar, the difference being size, and perhaps the geographical range of use.
However both articles overlap, the result being some inconsistancies. E.g. did Julius Ceasar really see an Irish Curragh? or did he see a Late British Iron Age Coracle? --Dumbo1 17:27, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The two terms are cognate. Coracle coming from a Welsh word with the same root. --MacRusgail 21:40, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

text: NB - Currach is the correct spelling in Gaelic, whether Scottish or Irish. --MacRusgail 21:45, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks a lot for the explanation. I will try to rename :fr:Curragh ;D Alvaro 13:55, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried... now, it's :fr:currach ;D Alvaro 17:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Nah, definitely not. Currachs can be long thin boats, such as St. Brendan's, but coracles are always round. Some "currachs" are the same as coracles, but by no means all. Note also, that they exist in completely different geographical locations. --MacRusgail 02:18, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I just noticed that the image of the stamp is uploaded under fair use, but the criteria for it to be so is "to illustrate the stamp in question (as opposed to things appearing in the stamp's design)", and as this is in a Currach article, it is clearly doing the latter. I'm removing it for the moment, and will see if I can find an image of an actual currach instead. MartinRe 12:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Image not fair use in this context?

message: I have completely revised the section on the Irish Currach, adding references (including illustrative quotations) and new material. I have removed material which is blatantly commercial. The Scottish section still needs some work.

replies: text: The Jonnaí Jimmí MacDonnacha stuff seems like an advert. Does an encyclopaedia really need to note that so-and-so is selling a three part series of DVDs and handbooks? Nice job on this and the birlinn article BTW.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 06:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
