Untitled[edit]

Well, I must confess that I had an affinity to the small jokes in the article, like describing the Feegles as a fictional (thank goodness) race, but I suppose the article's better off without them. -- Kizor 18:48, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Accent/Dialect[edit]

The form of Scots used by the Feegle is DEFINITELY not Glaswegian; it is far more a Galloway accent/dialect (South-Western Scotland) - much more Old Scots sounding. I can't back this up with anything other than being Glaswegian and spending a lot of time in the Galloway, however it is a very noticeable difference to me. Scottish accents seem to change every mile or so! Pol (talk) 03:56, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blue appearance[edit]

I've checked - but I can't find any justification for the claim that the Mac Nac Feegle have blue skin through the application of Woad. Yes - I know it's a possible explanation for their appearing blue all over ... but I cannot find mention of woad in the novels - not directly or by inference.

Lacking a citation I think that the reference to woad should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.235.227.85 (talk) 02:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The closest I can find is in Carpe Jugulum, when Agnes/Perdita first enounters a pictsie: The blueness of his skin, she could see now, was made up of tattoos and paint. "Paint", not "woad". 86.129.66.234 (talk) 11:39, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the very first page of 'A Hat Full of Sky', it is mentioned that the Nac Mac Feegle appear blue due to tattoos and 'the dye called woad'. Although, this information supposedly comes from a book by Perspicacia Tick, who may or may not be a reliable source. 91.109.189.240 (talk) 23:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Terry Pratchett[edit]

Bad news, BBC just reported that Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with early signs of allshiemers(I'm almost sure its not spelled like that but it's true.) Just lettin' fellow Pratchett fans know. 7:46 AM 13 December 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.67.236 (talk) 12:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Known" "Feegles"[edit]

I'm not sure Horace the Cheese or The Toad should be listed as Feegles. I would make a new section for them, but I'm not sure how best to describe them? Feegle affiliates? Feegle adoptees? Thmazing (talk) 04:48, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
