Shocking carry on.
You can tell what was written by copy and paste from English.
All of this has happened before.

To be fair, I personally think ‘Scots,’ not Scots Gaelic, is a dialect of English, similar to Hiberno-English, rather than a separate language
Is Gaeilge officer for Wikipedia Community Ireland a real position? Is it a paid job or a voluntary thing.
I think the title here is clickbaity. They apparently had some Irish, it’s not like they do not speak Irish at all.
As a Wikipedia editor and Irish speaker, the issue for me is a lack of sources in Irish. It just feels like a daunting task, creating a Wikipedia article from scratch is already a lot of work
Something like 70% of Wikipedia was written by the same guy. Not because he’s some historical expert but because he’s really good at grammer and edits basically every paragraph he sees if there’s a mistake I assume this is a similar situation
Something positive about the Irish-language Wikipedia site is the abundance of information and resources on certain Irish topics compared to its English-language counterpart.
For example, compare the 2 articles on “Cré na Cille” by Máirtín Ó Cadhain. The English-language article has all the necessary information, but the Irish-language version goes into so much more detail, including sections on the Characters, Criticisms, and a 4000 word section on the proposed Inspiration for the book.
