• ... that according to legend, the 6th-century Irish monk Brendan spent days fasting on Mount Brandon (pictured), before setting out on his legendary voyages across the Atlantic to discover Saint Brendan's Island? Irish Mountain Names Database (page 28–29)

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Cale Morris
• Comment: Source quoted is Paul Tempan, an Irish academic who wrote the Database of Irish Mountain Names. However, the "Naming" section of this article has further book references on this fact (these books are searchable online), as the story of Brendan goes beyond mountain names.

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but the last entry under Aircraft accidents lacks a cite per Rule D2. Also, Google Books links are preferred over Amazon.com links so we can look up the text. Yoninah (talk) 20:25, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

 Done Have fixed a better source for this (WartimeNI.com, very good website for Irish air accidents, with full coverage). Britishfinance (talk) 20:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

• Should this section in the footnotes be put in quotes? It's lifted directly from the source. Yoninah (talk) 20:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Done, the source of the text is the reference attached (Paul Tempan of MountainViews), but have put in quotes to clarify attribution. thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 20:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. I changed your Amazon links to Google Book links. Restoring tick per Buidhe's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
