Uneven treatment

[edit]

Virtually this entire article concerns this pirate's final voyage and downfall. There's nothing at all about any earlier voyages, and almost nothing about his entire earlier life. Ideally, there should be something about that, and if that's not possible, at least say so, and explain why.... --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:33, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Problem is, I couldn't find anything about him other than his unfortunate encounter with MacLeod. I couldn't find anything that said 'there is nothing known of his earlier life'. Unless we can actually find an instance where someone states that 'nothing else is known of him', we can't really say it in the article ourselves. Right? I guess until that time, the article will always be unfinished.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 10:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stack

[edit]

The text reads "MacLeod, and a small band of followers, took refuge and fortified themselves on the remote stack on the tiny island of Bearasaigh". Bearasaigh itself isn't a stack - see photos on article page. There is a small stack offshore (see Geograph) but it looks uninhabitable to me. The source may be using the word in a less technical sense than that implied by stack (geology). Fine article btw - I have just borrowed chunks of it for Bearasaigh.

I remember working on this and trying to find a pic of the 'stac', but I was unsure about the whole thing. Here's the CANMORE page for Bearasaigh. The grid-ref just links to Bearasaigh, and mentions the buildings on the island. I can't find Stac an Tuill on CANMORE. I think you are probably right about the term. I don't think it'll be a problem if we remove "stac" from the sentence (to have "fortified themselves on the tiny island of Bearasaigh").--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 08:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Ben MacDui 17:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC) PS Just found this Geograph image. Stac an Tuill is in the middle distance in front of the cliffs of Beearasaigh. Challenging for a picnic I'd say, never mind for three years. Ben MacDui 09:05, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Allegiance with

[edit]

I wonder if the term, "allegiance with" is really appropriate. Is there a better way of saying this? "Relationship with" or "Association with" might be considerations.FeatherPluma (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
