Name

[edit]

Something doesn't add up here. If the Modern Irish name is Dún Aonghasa, then Dún Aengus is a mishmash of Irish Gaelic and English, and this article should be moved from Dún Aengus to Dun Aengus, because English doesn't have diacritics. If the Modern Irish name is Dún Aengus, then Dún Aonghasa needs to be labelled as Middle or Old Irish, as the case may be. I've already set up redirects for all likely misspellings, including "Oengus", which is a far more common pre-"Angus" spelling of the name (in general, not necessarily of this site in particular) than "Aengus". — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] 01:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Initial assessment

[edit]

Added initial assessment comments, at Talk:Dún Aengus/Comments. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] 01:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence or citation given for similar relating to the claim that the fort was ever circular, and that such significant erosion has occurred. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.94.229.2 (talk) 18:18, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

overview photo

[edit]

So, how does it look like? Is it rectangular? a built like a circle or? All you get to see is some frontal pictures, which is very dissapointing. I really think it would help improving this article if someone could upload an overview image of the fort, be it drawed or actual photo of the present fort. --Byzantios (talk) 16:20, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

==5 March 2007 initial assessment== Assessing this as a Start-class article (and Low or Mid importance/priority for several WikiProjects of different scopes). It is certainly more than a stub, but is missing a wealth of information and photographs of rather than from the site. Also needs infoboxing and navigation boxing per the various projects that provide them for such articles. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] 01:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

[edit]

The current article title is Dún Aonghasa, which is the name of this place in Irish. The English is given as Dun Aengus. Seeing as this is the English language Wikipedia, why is the latter not the article title? --Michael Bateman (talk) 14:29, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
