14:3714:37, 16 May 2024 diff hist −64‎ Ó Cléirigh ‎ Removed reference to ruling Connacht for two millennia. Not only is a lot of this legendary, but no member of the Ui Fiachrach ruled over Connacht after the 8th century. Thereafter the Ui Briuin dominated the provincial kingship. current

02:2602:26, 14 May 2024 diff hist −283‎ Uí Néill ‎ Removed references to the SNP mutation M222. The genetic link to Niall has been debunked. current

04:1004:10, 8 May 2024 diff hist +85‎ McDonough ‎ Changed second paragraph under "Origins and variants" to note that "various unrelated" clans, not just two, carried the surname. One is of course a cadet line of the MacDermots, but there is also a cadet line of the O'Flaherty chiefs who were named McDonough. I also changed "kings of Connacht" after the MacDermots to "kings of Moylurg". The MacDermots were part of the royal dynasty of Connacht, but no MacDermot ever held the provincial kingship. current
04:0404:04, 8 May 2024 diff hist −24‎ Ó Flaithbheartaigh ‎ Removed "Hughes" as a cadet branch and inserted "McDonough". The McHughs split from the O'Flahertys well before the adoption of surnames; their ancestors never carried the name O'Flaherty. However, there is a cadet branch descended from Donough Aluinn. current

15:3815:38, 6 March 2024 diff hist −5‎ Eochaid Mugmedon ‎ Changed "semi-legendary" to "legendary". There is no evidence that he existed, and the lineages claiming descent from him are unrelated to each other, indicating he is a political construct.

17:1417:14, 15 January 2024 diff hist −35‎ Haplogroup R-L21 ‎ Removed "and ancestral to the Eóganachta". The Eóganachta appear to be polygenetic--even the royal lines do not match. This is an irresponsible presentation of theory as fact.
04:3504:35, 15 January 2024 diff hist 0‎ Tollense valley battlefield ‎No edit summary

04:0104:01, 4 January 2024 diff hist −103‎ Conn of the Hundred Battles ‎ Removed "semi-" from "semi-legendary". There is no evidence he ever existed. Also removed reference to the O'Quinn family. Irish surnames derive from men who lived in the High Middle Ages, when surnames were first adopted. Consequently, no O'Quinns owe their name to him.
03:2003:20, 4 January 2024 diff hist +10‎ Urbain de Maillé, 1st Marquis of Brézé ‎ Corrected the article to note that "écuyer" denotes membership in the nobility. This is a term that could be claimed by all French nobility. the author evidently takes "écuyer" to be equivalent to the English "esquire." The English gentry were equivalent to the lower nobility in other countries. current
03:1303:13, 4 January 2024 diff hist +2‎ Prince du sang ‎ Brought "prince of the blood" out of the parentheses at the beginning of the article to clarify that the English form is also used with the same meaning.

01:4701:47, 20 December 2023 diff hist −5‎ Áed mac Echach ‎ Deleted extra "even" in first sentence of fourth paragraph. current
01:4201:42, 20 December 2023 diff hist 0‎ Militia (United Kingdom) ‎ Changed spelling of "principle" to "principal" in first sentence.
