Scotland has 3 patron saints: St Columba of Iona, St Margaret and St Andrew.
The Wikipedia page listed only St Andrew so I added the other two only to see them immediately deleted. So I added them again. Again they were deleted.
I asked why they were continually being deleted. Someone, who claimed to be in charge of the Scotland page, replied:
"if you ask any man in the street he will tell you that St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland"
- arethuza 16y agoThat would appear to be an inconsistency in Wikipedia - on Columba's page he is listed as a patron saint of quite a few places/activities, including Scotland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columba Wouldn't it be great if something like Semantic Web technology could actually detect these inconsistencies?
- sambeau 16y agoLooking at the current Scotland page it would appear that I finally won the argument :)
