replies: text: The definition of this article is wrong, I'm pretty sure. The sídhe themselves are mounds – the enchanted mounds under which the Tuatha Dé fled after the conquest of the sons of Míl. The people of the sídhe are exactly that – in Irish, áes sídhe (or bean sídhe in the case of the women, fear sídhe in the case of the men). Bean, fear, aos simply mean "woman, man, people" in Irish.

replies: text: Later, due to a corruption of the meaning, both the mounds and the supernatural entities (i.e. sprites) became known as the síd, modern Irish sídhe --SheeEttin 18:01, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I saw that, but I still think it would be better to define sídhe with ‘fairy mound’ as the primary meaning and then explain that it's been extended to the inhabitants of those mounds by metonomy. It seems backwards the current way. QuartierLatin1968  13:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I addressed the hill/people issue somewhat while adding the "siodhe" information I found in a dusty scottish gaelic dictionary at the University of Texas at Austin, although I don't have the book information handy anymore.  "siodhe" appears to specifically be the mound reference, and "sidhe" was listed as "peace", supporting the perception that the latter was a euphemism.  I also added the references to the Fir Bolg and Milesians, based on research in an Irish Faerie Faith class from ages back.  If anyone can provide a hard reference for the "siodhe" spelling, that would be appreciated, although I'll look for that book eventually when I'm on campus again.  C. Alex.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: The history of the Sí got muddled slightly in the middle ages, and it became part of the lore that they were among the angels exciled from heaven for siding with the devil himself and/or not picking a side.  I'm reluctant to add this information as although I have a source for it, I have been unable to locate the full text and I'd much prefere a read through before editing the article, its TUATHA DE AS FALLEN ANGELS published way back in 1932, its also explains why the Sí have white blood, I really want to help spruce up theses Irish folklore articles a bit. --Meirleach 00:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The current section "Types" seems strange to me. Why begin the section as a list of varieties of Aos Sí, only to abandon it after two and confine the rest to a list of links to other articles, among which banshee can be found? I might edit this later on in the week if no one else gets to it. ViolaCola (talk) 22:55, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Types 

message: I am proposing that Daoine maithe be merged to Aos Sí.  From the information on both articles, it seems like these are just two different terms for the same group of supernatural creatures.  Even the "Types" listed on each article appear to be largely the same.  Looking up some information also seems to support the idea that "Daoine maithe" is just one of the many euphemisms used to talk about the "fairies" in Irish folklore.  If this is correct, then it does not really make sense to have an entirely separate article just to describe another term for the same topic, and the information and sources from Daoine maithe that are not already present here should be merged into the main article.

message: Surely a reference to the 'Aesir' - the pantheon of Gods in Norse mythology should be added? Can't be a coincidence that the names are so similar 80.189.108.251 (talk) 23:30, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
