Discussion from O Connor Donn

So was Fr. Charles O Conor Donn really ~350 years old when he died, or is there some information missing from this list? Tverbeek 13:35, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

O’Conor Don or THE O’Conor Don?

I am raising an esoteric (and not very important) grammatical question to which I don’t know the answer. Isn’t it inappropriate to precede a phrase like “O’Conor Don” or “Mac Carthy Mór" with the direct article “the” according to the preferred grammatical style used these days to discuss chiefs of the name? I know that it’s tempting to insert “the” as it seems to resonate the style used when referring to a chief of the name as (to use a fake example) “The Jones.” Also, in English, saying that (for example) “the Great Jones is late for dinner” sounds more natural than saying “Great Jones is late for dinner” and thus we have a tendency to throw a “the” before O’Conor Don and similar titles. Does the direct article precede these titles in the Irish language? And if not, how appropriate is it to follow that lead even though it is counter intuitive for English speakers? Thanks. - J. Dwyer, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

O'Conor Don You are correct, "The" is not used in Gaelic and it is more correct to refer "O'Conor Don" than "The O'Conor Don" and this is how the current O'Conor Don prefers to be designated. J. O'Higgins-Norman 2 December 2006

I have to concur with the above, and this lack of 'the' is specifically mentioned in 'An Béal Beo' by Tomás Ó Máille, 1936, this edition 2002.EoinBach (talk) 01:00, 2 August 2008 (UTC) "There are only three Thes.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because (apparently the website clonalis.com has copied the Wikipedia article rather than the other way around, since this article has contained this information since 2007 and before) --Claíomh Solais (talk) 21:35, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Content was removed from the article and the revisions hidden. Sorry, but the removed material cannot be restored, because the removed content was first added to the article at 07:32, December 16, 2014, and the Wayback Machine shows that clonalis.com had it as early as March 21, 2012. Therefore they had it first, and it is therefore a copyright violation. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:23, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
