[edit]

In section "Etymology", paragraph 1, final sentence, please change "However, research published in 1965" to "However, research published by Jacopo Bisagni in 2012", since the Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language cited, which was published in 2019, draws on and specifically cites Bisagni's earlier research [1]. Thank you. Kilianjmmeissner (talk) 19:11, 18 April 2020 (UTC) Kilianjmmeissner (talk) 19:11, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's fine the way it is. If you disagree, start a new discussion to establish consensus. Aasim 10:46, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

{{Column3}}= what leprechauns like: <They like a blade of grass, clover leafs, and clover flowers.> Divinelight2 (talk) 16:45, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add a column that notes what leprechauns like. This is for those who are interested in the conjuration and summoning stuff Divinelight2 (talk) 16:46, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fearsome Critters

[edit]

Something I believe is worth a mention is that leprechauns have appeared in "Fearsome Critters" only perverted as "Leprocauns" and taxonomically designated as "Simiidiabolus hibernicus horribilis". Booger-mike (talk) 01:18, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anglicisation

[edit]

In the mammoth book of Celtic myths and legends by Peter Berresford Ellis, it states: “Even everyone’s pookies were demoted into Otherworld spirits and entities and even fairies. Lugh Lámhfada, Lugh of the long hand, the senior of the gods and patron of all arts and crafts, was eventually demoted into Lugh-chromain, “stooping Lugh”, and from there Anglicised into “leprechaun”. I was wondering as to why this hadn’t been mentioned. 2A00:23C7:1800:8F01:A1CE:F7DC:F42B:7B1F (talk) 00:51, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you did not know this before, if you get Lucky Charms and make a trap after saint Patricks day then he will come with in the week after that day. If you do not have Lucky Charms then there is no way he'll come. Magnweiss (talk) 21:31, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
