message: English missionaries like Fulda - not sure that this is correct, since this article suggests that Saint Leoba was the English missionary, and that Rudolph of Fulda is the person who documented her life. Xaje (talk) 09:10, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I am not sure whether the "Latin script (Gaelic variant)" (Gaelic script?) in ISO 15924 is meant for the insular script, a successor thereof, both, or neither. What about the script variant in Irish ten shilling coin and :Image:GPO Easter Rising Plaque.jpg? – Kaihsu 15:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think they're different...Insular is used in medieval manuscript, and Gaelic is a modern typeface. (Although obviously Gaelic is baed on Insular). Adam Bishop 16:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  Compare Fraktur (ISO 15924 code Latf), a modern typeface descended from blackletter.Nightsky 19:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The Angular entry in the typography template points to Insular Script. Should Angular be noted as an alternate name? Should the template be changed to Insular instead of Angular? Thanks! Allens (talk) 22:44, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Kwami, you can find sources for everything. Can I, as an expert steeped in Irish type and letterforms for two decades, please simply inform you that the polyvalent term Gaelic script is not normally used as a synonym for Insular script? I don't care what you can find in Google Books, right here, in Ireland, where this stuff is alive, the polyvalent term Gaelic script refers to type more than to ancient manuscripts. Irish script, yes, can mean Insular script. Irish hand even more so. But not Gaelic script. You're not serving the encyclopaedia by trying to tinker with terminology the way you are. -- Evertype·✆ 17:00, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I note that Gaelic script is a referral to Gaelic type. Perhaps it should instead be a disambiguation page, pointing to Gaelic type, Insular script, and the handwritten form of Irish orthography as possible meanings? Allens (talk) 17:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Can I think about this for a bit? Thanks. -- Evertype·✆ 23:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Currently, the text has a buried sop to the influence of the Gregorian mission but the lead entirely ignores it. Surely, Augustine & Co. had begun supplanting the runes well in advance of the Irish. Are they just being ignored because they focused on Latin texts? or were resisted by the English? Could we see some cites one way or the other on the point? — LlywelynII 13:20, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I've seen some references (MUFI 4) to the letter vend (Ꝩ, ꝩ) being an insular "V". If someone can confirm, U+A768/A769 should be added to the chart. ⇔ ChristTrekker 15:34, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

message: Is there a weird e caudata in O'Donovan's AFM 1848? Rendered thus by CELT:
:Remann a Burc mac Seain na Semar micc Riocaird Shaxanaigh, mic Uillicc na c-Cenn
Is this worth mentioning here and/or in Gaelic type? jnestorius(talk) 17:26, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
