replies: text: In case the article would grow too large, one might consider a split; for now both articles contain hardly enough material for one decent article. I am not at all convinced that Celtic and Catholic missionaries at there time considered themselves "entirely different": this is more likely a distinction one has emphasized afterwards (in 'The Thruth' versus 'false prophets' discussions). That argument is also contraditionary with the distinction being made based upon their specific time settings. Both topics' similarities and continuity appear stronger than the distinctions (the Anglo-Saxon missions have several distinctions between themselves as well) and might better lead to an article name that covers both subtopics. — SomeHuman 07 Jul2007 16:04 (UTC)
*Support Merge SomeHuman is right, at this point we have to look at first consolidating what we have. As pointed out above, if the article gets too big, we can easily split it. At this time we should look at turning these two pages into something more tied in. To me, Anglo-Saxon mission appears to be more useful within Hiberno-Scottish mission - retains context and is more informative. After resolving the contradictions (if any), I think the articles would do better as one. xC | ☎  10:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

message: "Hiberno-Scottish" strikes me as being quite an odd and confused qualifier here?
"Irish-Scottish" would seem more consistent if the intent is to describe the geographical extent of culture behind the mission with modern terms.
Or just "Hibernian" if the idea is to use one of the Latin terms for Ireland during the period.  Or "Scottish" if the idea is to use the Latin expression (until 14th century?) for the Irish/Gaelic culture.
Mixing two Latin adjectives for Irish - one of which has evolved to mean something else (the country in Great Britain) - seems very muddled.
Anyone else have an opinion? 
Does this term have long standing academic usage?

message: As the term Gaeil was the common term used for those concerned, both of Ireland and Scotland (then and long after), would it not be more appropriate to change the name of the article to reflect this? Interested to hear what editors think. Is mise, Fergananim (talk) 17:23, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not. You need to show this is used by the best sources - one problem is that a lot of sources just talk of "Irish missions". Johnbod (talk) 17:27, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Change "Hiberno-Scottish mission" to "Gaeil mission"?

message: I'm a little concerned that this article relies so heavily on sources from the early 19th century. Scholarship has moved on a very long way since then. The few cited sources that are more recent are light-weight. It would be good if someone could look into recent serious historical studies and cite where appropriate from there.
